Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale

The scale is a 30-item semi-structured interview scale with a seven-point severity rating. In our study, individuals scoring below 70 points were included to confirm that the participants were not in the active disease period.

Time frame: 6 months

Calgary Schizophrenia Depression Scale

The scale is an interviewer-rated scale and consists of 9 items in four-point Likert type. The cut-off score for schizophrenia accompanied by depressive disorder was determined as 11/12. In our study, individuals scoring below 11 points were included to confirm that the participants were not in a depressive episode.

Time frame: 6 months

Glasgow Antipsychotic Side Effect Rating Scale

It is a 22-item self-report scale about the side effects of antipsychotics. An increase in the scale score indicates an increase in the severity of side effects

Time frame: 6 months

International Physical Activity Form

This form consists of seven questions and provides information on sitting, walking, moderately vigorous activities and time spent in vigorous activities. The calculation of the total score of the short form includes the sum of duration (minutes) and frequency (days) of walking, moderately vigorous activity and vigorous activity. The sitting score (sedentary behavior level) is calculated separately. Physical activity levels are classified as physically inactive/inactive (\<600 MET-min/week), physically inactive/minimally active (600-3000 MET-min/week) and physically active/very active (\>3000 MET-min/week).

Time frame: 6 months

Community Participation Survey

It is a method used to observe an individual's participation in the community. It consists of 15 headings. It is used to assess individuals' home, family life, social activities and work activities.
