Purpose
: The objective of this study is to determine the effect of yoga on functional recovery level in schizophrenic patients.
Materials and Methods
: The study was conducted in quasi-experimental design with pr-test-post-test control group. The
population of the study consisted of schizophrenic patients with registered in Malatya and Elazığ Community Mental Health
Centers and regularly going to these centers. The sample group of the study consisted of totally 100 patients including 50
patients in the experimental group and 50 patients in the control group who were specified through power analysis and chosen
by using random sampling method from this population. The data were collected between April 2015 and August 2015. ‘Patient
Description Form’ and ‘FROGS’ were used to collect the data. Yoga was applied to patients in the experimental group. Any
intervention was not made to patients in the control group. Percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, chi-
square, independent samples t test, and paired t test were used to assess the data.
Results
: Patients in the control and experimental group pretest subscale and the total means scores of FROGS was found to
be low. In the post test subscale and total means scores of FROGS in the experimental group were higher than in the control
group and the differences between them were found to be statistically significant (p b 0.05). In the experimental group pretest
and post-test subscale and total means scores of FR0GS was determined to be statistically significant (p b 0.05).
Conclusion
: Yoga that applied to schizophrenic patients it was determined to increased the level of functional recovery. It can
be suggested that yoga should be used as an complementary method in nursing practice in order to increase the effectiveness
of the treatment.
