Abstract
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the disability, insight and self-care agency of schizophrenia patients.
Design and method: This descriptive study was conducted with 100 patients in remission who had a diagnosis of schizophrenia at community mental health centers.
Results: The schizophrenia patients had poor insight and moderate self-care agency. The self-care agency of schizophrenia patients is a neglected issue in medicine, and is associated with positive and negative symptoms, insight and disability.
Implementation results: The results can guide community mental health center nurses to increase the quality of life of schizophrenia patients in remission and to help reintegrate them into society.
