After selecting the first-degree relatives, a group will be formed for all patients of the intervention group in a virtual space (preferably Eita software) and all the members of the group will be members of it. The trainings are uploaded in the form of audio files on a certain day of the week in the group and family members are given the opportunity to review it.One to two days after uploading the file, the researchers communicate with the family members by phone to make sure that they have listened to the material and given appropriate feedback and transferred it to the patient.
