Results:
The improvement in the signs of recovery for physical and mood symptoms in the patient training intervention group were seen (p < 0.05). The score of quality of life had significantly improved in the two groups (Mean difference was 9.31±3.03 and P<0.003). This improvement was significantly higher in the patient training intervention group (P=0.008). After adjustment for education level, the score of quality of life in patient training intervention group had a higher improvement, but the difference between the two groups was not significant (P = 0.1).
