Summary
The aim of this study was to learn the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy based stress management program on psychological flexibility and caregiver burden in caregivers of schizophrenia patients. This study is a randomized controlled trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does an acceptance and commitment therapy-based stress management program increase psychological flexibility in caregivers of patients with schizophrenia? * Does an acceptance and commitment therapy-based stress management program reduce caregiver burden in caregivers of schizophrenia patients? * What is the relationship between the level of psychological flexibility and care burden? Researchers will compare the intervention with a control group (no intervention) to see if an acceptance and commitment therapy-based stress management program increases psychological resilience and reduces caregiver burden in people with schizophrenia. Participants will participate in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Based Stress Management Program, consisting of 6 sessions, one session per week, each session lasting 45 minutes. The intervention group will visit the clinic at the end of the application (after 6 weeks), at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months to be administered the Psychological Flexibility Scale and the Caregiver Burden Scale. They will do the homework given in the therapy program.
