Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) | First assessment will be made at the baseline (pre-intervention) | The scale consists of 21 items and three sub-dimensions. Each of the seven items that make up each sub-dimension of the scale measures depression, anxiety and stress. The DASS-21 scale is a four-point Likert-type scale and the items are evaluated between 0 and 3 (0 = not at all suitable for me, 1 = somewhat appropriate for me, 2 = usually suitable for me, 3 = completely suitable for me). There is no reverse item in the scale. The total scores of the scale range from 0 to 21 for each sub-dimension. In the validity and reliability study, the Cronbach-alpha coefficient was determined as 0.87 for the depression sub-dimension, 0.85 for the anxiety sub-dimension, and 0.81 for the stress sub-dimension. The Cronbach-alpha coefficient for the Turkish version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale was determined as 0.88 for the depression sub-dimension, 0.80 for the anxiety sub-dimension and 0.87 for the stress sub-dimension (Sarıçam, 2018). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Beck Hopelessness Scale (BUS) | First assessment will be made at the baseline (pre-intervention) | It was developed to determine the degree of pessimism of the individual for the future. The scale, which consists of a total of 20 items, is scored between 0-1 and is a self-assessment type scale. It can also be applied as a group. It is a scale that can be easily applied to literate children, young people and adults without time limit. The scale is evaluated in three sub-dimensions regarding the future (Future Emotions, Loss of Motivation, Future Expectations). 20 items in the scale are answered as "Yes and No", each inconsistent answer is scored with 0 and each compatible answer with 1 point. "yes" to eleven items (2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20) and 9 items (1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 19) "no" answer is evaluated with 1 point. A high total score (in the range of 0-20) is considered as "high level of hopelessness". |
