Purpose This study aimed to determine the impact of a video or photography‐assisted adaptation program on the concerns and social stigmatization‐related perceptions of patients upon their first admission to a psychiatric clinic Design and Methods This study was a non‐randomized trial model with pretest–posttest measurements and a control group. No procedure was performed on the control group. However, a video or photography‐assisted adaptation program was conducted on the experimental group. Findings No significant decrease was found in the state‐trait anxiety and stigmatization for receiving psychologic help levels in the control group ( p > .05), but a significant decrease was found in the experimental group ( p < .05). Practical Implications Video or photography‐assisted adaptation program is effective in mitigating the concerns and social stigmatization‐related perceptions of patients upon their first admission to a psychiatric clinic.
