Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Work Readiness Program (WRP) on anxiety levels and coping ways of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Material and Methods: WRP consists of 7 sessions, in which two 1 hr meetings were held weekly for 5 weeks. A total of 7 participants enrolled into WRP were assessed before, immediately after and 6 months after the program. Sociodemographic Form, State/Trait Anxiety Inventory and Coping Styles Inventory were administered. Results: The results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in terms of the trait anxiety scores (p=0.034) and the total score of coping ways (p=0.002) in pre-intervention, post-intervention and 6-month follow-up; however, no significant difference was found in terms of state anxiety scores (p>0.05). Paired comparisons showed that the trait anxiety scores were higher at 6-month follow-up compared to the scores at baseline (p<0.05). It was found that CSI-total score decreased gradually at post-intervention and at 6-month follow-up compared to the scores at baseline (p < 0.05). Discussion: WRP reduced the trait anxiety levels and improved coping skills of the participants who completed the program. Our study results showed the necessity and importance of work readiness programs in people diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, İşe Hazırlık Programının (İHP) şizofreni tanısı olan bireylerde anksiyete düzeyleri ve başa çıkma stratejileri üzerindeki etkililiğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: İHP, her hafta 5 hafta boyunca 1 saatlik iki toplantının yapıldığı 7 oturumdan oluşmaktadır. İHP’ye kayıtlı toplam 7 katılımcı programdan önce, hemen sonra ve 6 ay sonra değerlendirildi. Sosyodemografik Form, Durumluk / Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri ve Başa Çıkma Tarzları Envanteri uygulandı. Sonuçlar: Sonuçlar müdahale öncesi, müdahale sonrası ve takipte sürekli kaygı puanları (p = 0,034) ile stresle başa çıkma toplam puanı (p = 0,002) açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğunu ortaya koymuştur; ancak durumluk kaygı puanları açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı (p> 0.05). İkili karşılaştırmalar, sürekli anksiyete puanlarının başlangıçtaki puanlara göre 6 aylık takipte daha yüksek olduğunu gösterdi (p <0.05). CSI-toplam puanının başlangıçtaki puanlara göre müdahale sonrası ve 6 aylık takipte kademeli olarak azaldığı görüldü (p <0.05).Tartışma: İHP, programı tamamlayan katılımcıların sürekli kaygı düzeylerini azalttı ve stresle başa çıkma becerilerini geliştirdi. Çalışma sonuçlarımız şizofreni tanısı olan bireylerde işe hazırlık programlarının gerekliliğini ve önemini göstermiştir.
