Patients who meet the research criteria and agree to participate in the research will be randomly assigned to one experimental and one control group.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Introductory Information Formup to 1 dayThe form consists of 14 questions containing information about the patient treated in the dialysis unit, created by the researcher within the scope of the literature. The created form includes questions regarding the patient's age, gender, educational status, marital status, number of children (if any), economic status and disease process.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Perceived Stress Scaleup to 1 dayIt was developed by Cohen, Kamarck and Mermelste in 1983 to determine the perceived stress level of participants. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Bilge, Öğce, Genç and Oran (2007), and the Cronbach alpha value was found to be 0.82 in the reliability study. In the scale, some situations that include the feelings and thoughts that individuals may have experienced during the past month are given. Individuals marked the situation in each item by thinking about how much they lived during the last month. The scale is five-point Likert type. A high total score means a high level of perceived stress. In the reliability study of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.86.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Self-Efficacy Scaleup to 1 dayDeveloped by Sherer and Madduks in 1982, ÖEYÖ was adapted into Turkish by Gözüm and Aksayan in 1999. ÖEYÖ is a 5-point Likert type self-assessment scale. The scale has 23 items and four subgroups, for each item; It is required to mark one of the options: 1.Does not describe me at all, 2.Describes me a little, 3.I am undecided, 4.Describes me well, 5.Describes me very well. A minimum of 23 and a maximum of 115 points can be obtained from the scale. A high total score from the scale indicates that the individual's perception of SEE is at a good level.
Quality of Life Index-Dialysis III Versionup to 1 dayThe Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale, which was developed by Ferrans and Powers in 1987, was conducted by Korkut in 2007.

It has been confirmed that the scale has a structure consisting of 11 items, a single dimension, and two complementary components (positive component and negative component). The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as .75. PSQ-K is recommended to be used in studies that will use total scores to measure self-compassion.
