Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study was aimed to examine the effects of the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program - consisting of two weeks of mindfulness skills followed by 12 weeks of walking and exercise - delivered through videos uploaded to a YouTube channel on mental and cardiovascular risk in patients with schizophrenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: After the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program, H1-1: There is a statistically significant difference in the mean total scores of mental well-being between the intervention and control groups. H1-2: There is a statistically significant difference in the mean total scores of sleep quality between the intervention and control groups. H1-3: There is a statistically significant difference in the mean total scores of the subscales of the Coping Style Scale (self-confident approach, optimistic approach, helpless approach, submissive approach, and seeking of social support) between the intervention and control groups. H1-4: There is a statistically significant difference in terms of cardiovascular risk levels between the intervention and control groups. Researchers were compared the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program to a control group (no intervention) to see if the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program works on mental and cardiovascular risk in patients with schizophrenia. Participants were: * followed in the first phase of the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program, the "Mindfulness Skill Development Program", which included activities for individuals to develop their mindfulness skills, five days a week for two weeks from October 23 to November 3, 2023 through videos uploaded on the YouTube channel. * followed in the second phase of the Mindfulness and Web-Based Physical Activity Program, the 12-week "Mindful Physical Activity Program", which consisted of "Mindful Walking" and "Mindful Physical Activity Day" sessions held twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) and three days a week for 50 minutes from November 2023 to January 2024 through videos uploaded on the YouTube channel.
