Study setting: Inpatient psychiatric wards at El-Azazi Hospital for Mental Health and Addiction Management in Abo Hamad City, Sharqia Governorate, Egypt. Tools: Demographic and clinical data questionnaire of schizophrenic patients, Toronto Alexithymia scale, emotion regulation questionnaire, and social function questionnaire. Results: The nursing intervention program based on emotional awareness and regulation had a statistically significant effect (P = 0.0001) on social functioning among studied patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion: The nursing intervention program based on emotional awareness and regulation has a great effect in enhancing social functioning, raising emotional awareness and regulation as well as lowering alexithymia levels in studied schizophrenic patients.
