The physical, social, and psychological effects of Behcet’s disease necessitate the person’s adaptation in many areas. This study was conducted to examine the effect of psychoeducation provided to people living with Behcet’s disease in the context of the Roy adaptation model on illness adjustment, dyadic adjustment, self-esteem, and psychiatric symptoms. The study was quasi-experimental. The study was with 70 patients with Behcet’s disease: 35 patients were in the intervention group and the same number in the control group. The data of the study were collected using the Adaptation to Chronic Illness Scale, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Brief Symptom Inventory. A seven-session psychoeducation program was provided to the intervention group. After the psychoeducation program, adaptation to illness increased significantly and psychiatric symptoms decreased significantly in the intervention group compared with the control group (P < .05).
