Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Self-care was assessed using the Self-Care Activities Screening Scale. | Data were collected at two time points: at baseline (T0) and three months after the intervention (T1) | The Self-Care Activities Screening Scale (SASS) was used to assess participants' self-care behaviors. The scale consists of 14 items, each rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 6. The total score ranges from 14 to 84. Higher total scores indicate greater engagement in self-care behaviors. |
| Self-compassion was assessed using the Self-Compassion Scale. | Data were collected at two time points: at baseline (T0) and three months after the intervention (T1). | The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) was used to assess participants' levels of self-compassion. The scale consists of 26 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Each sub-dimension is scored separately, and the total self-compassion mean score is obtained. The total score is calculated by summing the scale items and dividing the result by 26. A total score between 1 and 2.49 indicates low self-compassion, a score between 2.5 and 3.5 indicates moderate self-compassion, and a score between 3.51 and 5 indicates high self-compassion. Higher total scores indicate higher levels of self-compassion. |
| Quality of life was assessed using the Professional Quality of Life Scale. | Data were collected at two time points: at baseline (T0) and three months after the intervention (T1). | The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) was used to assess participants' professional quality of life. The scale consists of 30 items and comprises three subscales: Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Compassion Fatigue. The scale does not yield a total score. Instead, each subscale is scored and interpreted independently. During scoring, items 1, 4, 15, 17, and 29 are reverse scored. |
| Nurse-patient interaction was assessed using the The Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale-Short Form | Data were collected at two time points: at baseline (T0) and three months after the intervention (T1). | The Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale-Short Form (CNPI-Short Scale) was used. The scale consists of 23 items. Each item is evaluated across three dimensions: importance, competence, and feasibility. The scale does not yield a total score; instead, each dimension is scored and interpreted independently. Each item is evaluated using a five-point Likert-type scale with separate instructions appropriate to the target dimension. Scores on the scale range from 23 to 115. Higher scores indicate a more positive perception of the measured dimension and subdimension. |
