        Hypothesis(s) and Question(s):&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The hypotheses of the quantitative method of the research are as follows; H1-1: Peer&#xD;
        Education Supported Psychosocial Skills Training has an effect on the social functionality&#xD;
        levels of patients.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        H1-2: Peer Education Supported Psychosocial Skills Training has an effect on patients'&#xD;
        perceptions of stigma.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        H1-3: Peer Education Supported Psychosocial Skills Training has an effect on patients'&#xD;
        insight levels.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The research questions of the qualitative method of the research are as follows:&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Q(1): How do the changes experienced by people with chronic mental disorders affect their&#xD;
        lives? Q(2): How does Peer Education Supported Psychosocial Skills Training affect patients'&#xD;
        social functionality levels? Q(3): How does Peer Education Supported Psychosocial Skills&#xD;
        Training affect patients' perceptions of stigma? Q(4): How does Peer Education Supported&#xD;
        Psychosocial Skills Training affect patients' insight levels? Q(5): What are the experiences&#xD;
        and opinions of the patients who participated in the Peer Education Supported Psychosocial&#xD;
        Skills Training program?&#xD;
  &#xD;
        The research question created for the research to be mixed method:&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Q(Mixed): Do the themes revealed by the statements of the patients as a result of the&#xD;
        qualitative research support the quantitative findings obtained as a result of the&#xD;
        quantitative research?&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Data Collection and Intervention&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Firstly, A 13-hour practitioner training about psychosocial skills training supported by peer&#xD;
        education and group management will be given by the research psychiatric nurse to 4 patients&#xD;
        (one as peer leader, other as assistant, the other two as substitutes) selected according to&#xD;
        the inclusion criteria of the study.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        Individuals who are called peer trainers and who are subjected to practitioner training by&#xD;
        the researcher psychiatric nurse will carry out the 6-session psychosocial skills training as&#xD;
        leaders and assistant leaders. Researcher psychiatric nurse will support them in this&#xD;
        process, even if they need it. It is thought that with the education given by peer educators,&#xD;
        patients can benefit from each other's experiences and have an effect on the relevant&#xD;
        variables. Groups will be determined by lot by the center staff from among the patients who&#xD;
        have or have not received psychosocial skills training before.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        In the research, &quot;Descriptive Information Form&quot; will be used by the researcher as a data&#xD;
        collection tool, indicating the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. The&#xD;
        measurement of the variables specified in the research will be provided by the Self Stigma&#xD;
        Scale, Beck Cognitive Insight Scale and Social Functioning Assessment Scale.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        In order to evaluate the qualitative data, a semi-structured interview form consisting of&#xD;
        questions about the effectiveness of education on the variables will be used by the&#xD;
        researcher. After the pre-test application, a measurement will be made at the end of the&#xD;
        sessions in the 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week in order to measure the effectiveness of the&#xD;
        study during the application. Also, a measurement will be made in the 8th week for follow-up&#xD;
        purposes.&#xD;
  &#xD;
        After the collection of quantitative data, 5 people from both experimental groups will be&#xD;
        selected and qualitative data will be collected with 10 participants in total. Individual and&#xD;
        face-to-face interviews will be conducted with the patients who make up the experimental&#xD;
        group, and the interviews will be audio recorded with the knowledge and consent of the&#xD;
        participant. Individual interviews will be provided with a semi-structured form for the&#xD;
        effectiveness of the training.&#xD;

    <primary_outcome>
      <measure>Functionality (Social Functioning Assessment Scale)</measure>
      <time_frame>6 Weeks</time_frame>
      <description>This scale evaluates 19 items and four sub-dimensions in general in patients with schizophrenia. Among the factors, interpersonal explanations and entertainment consist of seven items, self-care seven items, independent living needs four items, and work-life one item. The scores that can be obtained from the scale are between 19 and 57, and a high score means that social functioning measures are high.&#xD;
  It is expected that there will be an increase in the functionality levels of the experimental groups.</description>
    </primary_outcome>
    <primary_outcome>
      <measure>Stigmatization (Self-Stigma Scale)</measure>
      <time_frame>6 Weeks</time_frame>
      <description>It is a 3-factor scale consisting of 17 items for patients evaluating self-stigmatization or internalized stigma, concealment of illness and perception of worthlessness in individuals with mental illness. A five-point Likert-type scale was created as &quot;1=not at all suitable for me, 2=somewhat appropriate, 3=moderately appropriate, 4=generally appropriate, 5=completely appropriate&quot;. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the self-stigmatization of the patients increases. The Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient value of the scale is 0.93, indicating high reliability.&#xD;
  It is expected that the stigma perceptions of the experimental groups will decrease.</description>
    </primary_outcome>
    <primary_outcome>
      <measure>Insight (Beck Cognitive Insight Scale)</measure>
      <time_frame>6 Weeks</time_frame>
      <description>The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale developed to assess cognitive insight was conducted. The scale, which is a four-point Likert type, consists of 15 items and has 2 sub-dimensions &quot;self-confidence&quot; and &quot;self-evaluation&quot;. The scoring system of the scale consists of &quot;disagree&quot; 0 points, &quot;somewhat agree&quot; 1 point, &quot;mostly agree&quot; 2 points, &quot;strongly agree&quot; 3 points. The total (composite) score of the scale is obtained by subtracting the self-evaluation items (1,3,4,5,6,8,12,14,15) from the self-confidence item scores (2,7,9,10,11,13). The total score range of the scale is between -18 and 27 points. A high score indicates a high level of insight. In the reliability study of the Turkish version of the scale, the internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.68.&#xD;
  It is expected that there will be an increase in the insight levels of the experimental groups.</description>

  masking description: Masking could not be done in the study because training was to be provided. The identification and randomization of groups will be performed by the center staff using the blinding technique without the knowledge of the researcher to avoid bias.
  measure: Functionality (Social Functioning Assessment Scale)
  time frame: 6 Weeks
  description: This scale evaluates 19 items and four sub-dimensions in general in patients with schizophrenia. Among the factors, interpersonal explanations and entertainment consist of seven items, self-care seven items, independent living needs four items, and work-life one item. The scores that can be obtained from the scale are between 19 and 57, and a high score means that social functioning measures are high.
  It is expected that there will be an increase in the functionality levels of the experimental groups.
  measure: Stigmatization (Self-Stigma Scale)
  time frame: 6 Weeks
  description: It is a 3-factor scale consisting of 17 items for patients evaluating self-stigmatization or internalized stigma, concealment of illness and perception of worthlessness in individuals with mental illness. A five-point Likert-type scale was created as "1=not at all suitable for me, 2=somewhat appropriate, 3=moderately appropriate, 4=generally appropriate, 5=completely appropriate". As the score obtained from the scale increases, the self-stigmatization of the patients increases. The Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient value of the scale is 0.93, indicating high reliability.
  It is expected that the stigma perceptions of the experimental groups will decrease.
  measure: Insight (Beck Cognitive Insight Scale)
  time frame: 6 Weeks
  description: The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale developed to assess cognitive insight was conducted. The scale, which is a four-point Likert type, consists of 15 items and has 2 sub-dimensions "self-confidence" and "self-evaluation". The scoring system of the scale consists of "disagree" 0 points, "somewhat agree" 1 point, "mostly agree" 2 points, "strongly agree" 3 points. The total (composite) score of the scale is obtained by subtracting the self-evaluation items (1,3,4,5,6,8,12,14,15) from the self-confidence item scores (2,7,9,10,11,13). The total score range of the scale is between -18 and 27 points. A high score indicates a high level of insight. In the reliability study of the Turkish version of the scale, the internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.68.
  It is expected that there will be an increase in the insight levels of the experimental groups.
