Abstract
Schizophrenia is associated with a heterogeneous group of symptoms that cause significant distress to their sufferers; affecting their interpersonal relations, personal care, societal stigmatization, adding dual burden of coping with its positive symptoms as hallucinations, delusions and negative ones as avolition, self-care deficit, and social withdrawal, all that come with negative impact on patient{u2019}s self-esteem and self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a structured recovery focused self-management program on self-efficacy and symptoms severity of schizophrenic patients. A quasi experimental (pre-posttest) design was used in this study. A purposive sample of 30 schizophrenic patients were targeted and recruited for conducting this study; the study was carried out at inpatient departments of Al-Abbasia Hospital for Mental Health. Tools for data collection were; personal data questionnaire, mental health recovery measure, mental health self-management questionnaire, general self-efficacy scale. The results showed statistical significant differences between pre/post assessments in relation to recovery, self-management and self-efficacy levels, and in severity of delusions, disorganized speech, negative symptoms, impaired cognition, and depression. The study concluded that, psycho-educational program raised awareness toward the issue of psychiatric illness recovery and self-management and it affected positively patient{u2019}s general self-efficacy. It is recommended that, this program should be included in protocols of care in of psychiatric hospitals, and should be planned to be implemented on the secondary level of prevention. As well, further researches are needed to investigate these trends in schizophrenia management
