Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of nutrition education combined with physical exercise on healthy lifestyle behaviors and psychological well-being in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The study was conducted with a sample of 34 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, employing a quasi-experimental research design. Patients were evaluated using pre-test, post-test, follow-up test, ‘Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale (HLBS)’ and ‘Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS)’. No significant difference was observed in the mean scores of the HLBS and PWBS in the intervention and control groups at the pre-test stage (p > 0.05). It was established that the post-test and follow-up test scores of patients in the intervention group demonstrated an increase in HLBS and PWBS scores (p < 0.05). This study makes a significant contribution to the existing literature on the subject of physical exercise and nutrition education, as it evaluates the impact of such interventions on both healthy lifestyle behaviors and psychological well-being.
