Detailed Description

This study was planned in an experimental design with pre-test post-test follow-up measurements, experimental and control groups. The universe of the study consisted of care personnel working in institutions affiliated to the Provincial Directorate of Family, Labor and Social Services located in a city center in the east of Turkey. The sample calculation was made using the G-Power program (Experiment 14, Control 14). Since there may be omissions, the experimental group was determined as 20 participants and the control group as 20 participants. In this study, a nine-session training program will be applied to the experimental group. No application will be made to the control group. The conscious awareness development psychoeducation program will be applied once a week and for 90 minutes. Each session will be conducted in line with certain objectives. The sessions will be conducted by the investigator. Ethics committee approval was obtained before starting the study. Institutional permissions and written informed consent will be obtained for the participants. Informed consent will include information about the research and information that will ensure confidentiality.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-MAAS
Time Frame: Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)
Originally named The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-MAAS, it measures the attention and present time awareness of an individual in their daily lives. It consists of 15 items and a single sub-dimension. The scale is in the form of a 6-point Likert and is evaluated as a single total score. Individuals who score high on the scale show that their conscious awareness levels are high (Brown and Rayn 2003, Özyeşil et al. 2011)
Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
General Work Stress Scale
Time Frame: Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)
The General Job Stress Scale evaluates the level of stress that an individual experiences or perceives in relation to work in general. The scale, which consists of 9 items and a single dimension, is in the form of a 5-point Likert. High scores on the scale indicate high job stress, and low scores indicate low job stress (Teleş 2021).
Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)
Compassion Fatigue Scale- Short Scale Form
Time Frame: Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)
The scale consists of 13 items and two sub-dimensions: secondary trauma and occupational burnout. The lowest score possible from the 10-point Likert-type scale is 13 and the highest is 130. As the scores increase, the level of compassion fatigue experienced by individuals also increases (Dinç and Ekinci, 2019).
Pre-test -Post-test (9 weeks) Follow-up ( 3 month after)
