<p>Hope is a recovery-oriented therapeutic target in mental health nursing, yet nurse-led interventions to enhance hope in schizophrenia remain limited. To evaluate the effect of a nurse-led, eight-session Positive Psychotherapy-based expressive arts therapy programme on hope in inpatients with schizophrenia. A two-arm, parallel-group analyst-blinded randomised controlled trial conducted between July and October 2025 at a tertiary specialist psychiatric hospital in Türkiye. Fifty inpatients (aged 18–65) were randomly allocated 1:1 to the intervention (<i>n</i> = 25) or standard care (<i>n</i> = 25). The programme, delivered by a psychiatric nurse, integrated Peseschkian’s Balance Model with art-based and narrative techniques. Hope was measured pre- and post-intervention using the Herth Hope Scale and analysed with mixed ANOVA. Large group × time effects were found on total hope (partial η<sup>2</sup> = 0.88, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and on all three subscales (partial η<sup>2</sup> = 0.78–0.92). A theoretically grounded, nurse-delivered programme substantially enhanced hope across all dimensions. Mental health nurses can use structured expressive interventions as feasible, scalable approaches to support recovery in inpatient settings. Multi-site studies with follow-up are needed to assess sustainability.</p>
