Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The average self-esteem scores in the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention in chemotherapy patients can change between groups or within groups. Timepoint: The average self-esteem scores are measured with Rosenberg's questionnaire before the intervention and immediately after the intervention in both groups. Method of measurement: The Rosenberg self-esteem scale was prepared to measure self-esteem, which is one of the most widely used tools in this field and has high reliability and validity and includes 10 statements. The subject was asked to answer them accurately based on a four-point Likert scale ranging from completely agree to completely disagree. The range of this scale is from 10 to 40, where higher scores indicate higher self-esteem. | — |
