“…Tis study revealed that PPEW intervention can efectively reduce stigma in patients with schizophrenia. Many studies have shown that mindfulness, self-afrmation training, hope intervention, and other psychological interventions based on positive psychology [27][28][29] can decrease stigma in patients with schizophrenia, which is consistent with our fndings. However, the existing PPIs are mostly input-based and administered without focusing on the patient's output, and some are complicated in structure, inconvenient to implement, and costly.…”

Purpose. Schizophrenia accounts for more than 50% of psychiatric inpatients, and its special manifestations and recurring illnesses not only bring great harm to patients and their families but also pose great challenges to social security and management. Schizophrenia is associated with the most severe stigma of all mental illnesses. This stigma seriously affects the psychological functioning and quality of life of people with schizophrenia. Female patients’ experiences with stigma tend to be more severe than those of male patients and their self-denial and discrimination may be more serious. As expressive writing is a relatively simple, brief intervention that may serve as a useful and cost-effective alternative intervention or adjunct to other treatments, it is important to assess its effectiveness for female patients with schizophrenia. In this study, we explored the effect of a positive psychology expressive writing intervention on stigma, hope, coping style, and quality of life in hospitalized female patients with schizophrenia. Methods. This randomized controlled trial investigated the psychophysiological benefits of a positive psychology expressive writing (PPEW) in 54 schizophrenia patients recruited from the psychiatry department of a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Nanjing, China. Patients were randomized into the experimental group (n = 27) and control group (n = 27). The experimental group participated in the positive psychology expressive writing for 2 weeks, while the control group received routine psychiatric care. As outcome measures, all patients completed the Personal Information Form, Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination (PDD), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Herth Hope Index Scale (HHIS), and Quality of Life Scale for Schizophrenia (SQLS). Results. There were significant differences in PDD, SCSQ, HHIS, and SQLS pretest to posttest scores between the experimental and control groups shown by the per protocol (PP) and intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis ( P < 0.05). PPEW decreased the level of stigma and improved hope, coping style, and quality of life among patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion. These findings highlight the benefits of including positive psychology expressive writing (PPEW) in daily psychological treatment of patients with schizophrenia to promote their rehabilitation and improve their quality of life.

“…Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder characterized by positive and negative symptoms, including disability, the onset of which typical begins during adolescence or early adulthood, and for which a community‐based treatment should be viewed as a way to enhance treatment (Ercan & Demir, 2019; Özçelik & Yıldırım, 2018; Öztürk & Altun, 2021). In a systematic review of the psychosis epidemiology in Turkey, the lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia in general population was reported to be 8.9 per 1000 people (Binbay et al, 2011).…”

“…In schizophrenia, the side effects of drug treatment, cognitive and psychosocial impairment associated with the illness, negative symptoms, number of hospitalizations, social isolation, comorbid depression, unemployment, low self‐esteem, and stigmatization result in varying degrees of deterioration in the quality of life of those affected (Aykut et al, 2017; Dziwota et al, 2018; Öztürk & Altun, 2021; Vrbova et al, 2017). Quality of life, which consists of physical health, mental state, social relationships, and environmental dimensions, is used as an important tool in the reintegration of people with schizophrenia into society and in the evaluation of treatment and care (Ertekin et al, 2015, Woon et al, 2010).…”

“…Hope is an essential factor that initiates and accelerates the recovery process in schizophrenic individuals and an important coping mechanism that increases individuals' motivation while fighting the disease (Şahin Altun and Olçun 2018, Sari et al 2021, Öztürk and Şahin Altun 2022. In the studies conducted with individuals with schizophrenia, it was found that hope increases levels of functional improvement, self-efficacy, self-esteem, quality of life, and disease compliance (Lysaker et al 2009, Oles et al 2015, Vrbova et al 2017, Coşkun and Altun 2018.…”

“…Although these tools have good validity and reliability, none of them have been validated for schizophrenic patients. In studies conducted in our country, the level of hope of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia is frequently assessed with the Herth Hope Scale (HHS) (Olçun and Şahin Altun 2017;Kavak and Yılmaz 2018;Öztürk and Şahin Altun 2022). The Herth Hope Scale (HHS) was developed to evaluate hope in cancer patients and their families (Herth 1991).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Schizophrenia Hope Scale (SHS). This methodological study was carried out with 214 participants diagnosed with schizophrenia who were followed up in the psychiatry outpatient clinics of a university hospital between August 2021 and August 2022. Data were collected using an Information Form and the Schizophrenia Hope Scale (SHS). Language and content validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, item-total correlation, Cronbach alpha coefficient, and test-retest reliability methods were used in the validity and reliability analysis of the scale. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, no item was excluded from the scale and it was determined that the scale has nine items and a single-factor structure. The single-factor structure of the scale was confirmed with the confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.901 and the factor loads ranged between 0.70 and 1.0. The test-retest correlation coefficient was r=0.959. The Turkish version of the scale was found to be valid and reliable. SCH is important since it represents the subjective meaning of hope from schizophrenic patients’ perspective and allows an easier measurement of the level of hope in this population. Mental health professionals can use SHS to determine or increase the level of hope of schizophrenia patients in their studies.
