The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Auditory Hallucination Based Voice Hearing Simulation on the emotional expression and perceived family burden of caregivers of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Auditory Hallucination Based Voice Hearing Simulation on the emotional expression and perceived family burden of caregivers of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Method: This study was designed in a pre-test - post-test, randomized controlled design. The study was conducted with 20 caregivers in the intervention group and 20 caregivers of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in the control group. Data were collected between March 2023 and October 2023 using the Emotional Expression Scale and Perceived Family Burden Scale. Auditory Hallucination Based Voice Hearing Simulation was applied to the intervention group. This sound recording is three-dimensional. While the audio recording is played to the caregivers; Users were asked to complete two tasks, each lasting 10 minutes. The tasks were carried out under the guidance prepared by the researchers.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Level of Expressed Emotion Scale - LEES | The scale was developed to measure the quality of social interaction between the patient and the caregiver. The scale consists of 41 items. The maximum total score obtained from the scale is 41, and the minimum is 0. High scores from the scale indicate that the caregiver has high emotional expression. | one month |
| The Perceived Family Burden Scale - PFBS | This scale, which is applied to relatives of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, was developed to evaluate the family burden perceived by the patient's relatives. The scale, which evaluates the patient's relative's perception of family burden in the last month, consists of 24 items and two parts, A-B. The maximum total score obtained from the scale is 108, and the minimum is 0. The scale does not have a cut-off point, and high scores from the scale indicate a high perceived family burden. | one month |

While written consent was obtained from the individuals included in the study, a different form was used for each group. For this reason, participants could not be blinded. In addition, since the data collection and application process had to be actively managed, researcher blinding was not possible. The randomization table was prepared by an independent statistician to avoid the possibility of bias.
