Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an online psychiatric nursing approach based on the Tidal Model philosophy on the psychological resilience and self-compassion levels of individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorder. The study is designed as a randomized controlled doctoral dissertation. The sample consists of individuals who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Ankara, were diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and met the inclusion criteria. Participants were assigned to either the intervention or control group using a computer-generated randomization method. While the control group received only routine clinical follow-ups without any additional intervention, the intervention group participated in 8 sessions of individual online nursing interventions structured according to Tidal Model principles. Data were collected using an Socio-demographic Information Form, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale, administered online to both groups before and after the intervention.
Detailed description
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing intervention in clinical practice and to emphasize the importance of holistic, patient-centered approaches in nursing care for patients with anxiety disorders. Study Hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 (H1): The psychological resilience levels of individuals who receive the Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing approach are statistically significantly higher after the intervention compared to the individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2 (H2): The self-compassion levels of individuals who receive the Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing approach are statistically significantly higher after the intervention compared to the individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 3 (H3): The psychological resilience levels of individuals in the intervention group show a statistically significant increase after the intervention compared to before the intervention. Hypothesis 4 (H4): The self-compassion levels of individuals in the intervention group show a statistically significant increase after the intervention compared to before the intervention. Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of psychological resilience and self-compassion levels after the intervention.

Interventions
BEHAVIORALOnline Psychiatric Nursing Approach Based on the Tidal Model
One-on-one nursing sessions were conducted via online video conferencing platforms based on the philosophy of the Tidal Model. The intervention involves session processes aligned with the model's domains (Self, World, Partnership) and its ten commitments, enabling patients to construct their own stories, develop anxiety coping skills (psychological resilience), and cultivate a supportive inner voice (self-compassion).

Intervention model description
This study is designed as a parallel-group, randomized controlled interventional model. Participants diagnosed with anxiety disorder who meet the inclusion criteria are assigned to either the intervention or control group (1:1 ratio) using a computer-generated randomization method. Both groups are followed simultaneously and in parallel throughout the study. Participants in the intervention group receive online, one-on-one psychiatric nursing interventions based on the Tidal Model, alongside their routine clinical follow-ups. Participants in the control group complete the process with only their routine clinical psychiatric follow-ups, without any additional psychosocial intervention. Data are collected from both groups simultaneously at pre-intervention (pre-test), post-intervention (post-test), and follow-up.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Psychological Resilience Scale Score | Baseline (Week 0, pre-test 1 day before intervention) and Post-test (Week 8, 1 day after completion of the 8-week intervention) | Change in psychological resilience levels as measured by the Resilience Scale for Adults (33 items, 5-point Likert scale). Minimum score is 33 and maximum score is 165. Higher scores indicate higher levels of psychological resilience (better outcome). Pre-test was administered at Week 0 before intervention, and post-test was administered at Week 8 immediately following the 8-week intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Self-Compassion Scale Score | Baseline (Week 0, pre-test 1 day before intervention) and Post-test (Week 8, 1 day after completion of the 8-week intervention) | Change in self-compassion levels as measured by the Turkish version of the Self-Compassion Scale (Deniz, Kesici, \& Sumer, 2008; 24 items, 5-point Likert scale). Minimum score is 24 and maximum score is 120. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-compassion (better outcome). Pre-test was administered at Week 0 before intervention, and post-test was administered at Week 8 immediately following the 8-week intervention. |
