| Objective: The study was conducted to determine the level of effect of psychotherapeutic interventions on functioning and quality of life in individuals with schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: This meta-analysis were conducted by searching various databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and YÖK Thesis Centre, from January to May 2023, without any restriction on publication year. Fifteen studies were included in the analysis. Results: The meta-analysis revealed that psychotherapeutic interventions applied to individuals with schizophrenia had a significant positive effect on their functionality (SMD: 0,188,% 95 CI:-0,741–1,116; Z= 0,396, p= 0.696, I2=% 93,402). However, these interventions were not found to be effective in improving the quality of life of individuals with schizophrenia (SMD: 0.188, 95% CI:-0.741-1.116; Z= 0.396, p= 0.696, I2= 93.402%). Additionally, the study identified that the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic interventions is influenced by the country where the research was conducted, the types of interventions used, the duration of the interventions, and the measurement tools employed. Notably, cognitive-behavioral therapy was found to be particularly effective among the various types of psychotherapeutic interventions. Furthermore, interventions lasting more than three months showed a greater improvement in functionality among individuals. Conclusion: Based on the results of this meta-analysis, it can be concluded that psychotherapeutic interventions applied to individuals with schizophrenia have a positive impact on their functionality and mental health. |
