Abstract
Background
Using therapeutic techniques and conducting motivational interviews in communication
with patients with schizophrenia increases individuals' functional remission, insight,
and motivation levels.
Aim
This single-blind, randomized controlled study examines the effect of Interpersonal
Relations Theory-Based motivational interviews on functional remission and insight
levels in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods
The participants of this study were 40 patients with schizophrenia randomly assigned
to either the experimental or control groups (20 in each group). The researchers carried
out a 6-session Interpersonal Relations Theory-based motivational interview with the
participants in the experimental group. Study data were collected using a demographic
questionnaire, the Functional Remission of General Schizophrenia Scale (FROGS), and
the Scale for Assessing the Three Components of Insight (SAI).
Results
Social Functioning, Health and Treatment, Daily Living Skills, and SAI scores of the
individuals in the intervention group were statistically higher than those in the
control group (p < 0.05) in the post-intervention and follow-up measures. There was a positive and
significant correlation between the post-intervention Social Functioning, Health and
Treatment, Daily Life Skills, and total FROGS scores and the SAI score of the individuals
in the intervention group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
It was concluded that motivational interviews based on Interpersonal Relations Theory
were effective in increasing the insights and functionality of patients with schizophrenia.
Psychiatric nurses' practice of motivational interviews based on the therapeutic relationship
is considered to increase the quality of care and satisfaction of patients with schizophrenia.
It is recommended that this practice be used extensively in clinical practice.
