The Effect of Hope on Functional Recovery in Patients With Schizophrenia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

The findings of this study indicated that patients diagnosed with schizophrenia had moderate levels of hope but low functional recovery scores. Additionally, a significant and positive relationship was observed between hope and functional recovery, demonstrating that hope is an influential factor in enhancing functional recovery. Therefore, it is recommended that interventions aimed at increasing levels of hope be planned and implemented within treatment and rehabilitation programs.
