A mixed-method sequential exploratory design was employed. The qualitative phase used a phenomenological approach through focus group discussions and interviews, analyzed thematically. The quantitative phase applied a pre-experimental one-group pre-post test involving 40 purposively selected LTFU patients. Counseling sessions were delivered by psychiatric nursing experts over four weeks (once weekly, six sessions, 30–40 minutes). Results revealed that CBT interventions enhanced understanding, reduced anxiety, and significantly improved adherence and self-awareness, suggesting its applicability for both patients and families.
