The study will be carried out face to face after obtaining the necessary institutional permissions. Participants to be included in the research will be included in the sample by taking into account the inclusion criteria at each stage. After the subject, purpose and method of the study are explained to the participants to be included in the study, they will be asked to fill out the informed consent form. Participants will then be divided into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. Before the intervention, an information form, Self-Compassion Scale and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12) will be applied to both groups. The implementation of the study will be carried out at the patient's convenience, in a time period that will not interfere with his treatment in any way, and in a special area determined by the hospital management, while preserving his privacy. A mindfullness-based intervention program consisting of 8 sessions will be applied to the Intervention Group. No intervention will be applied to the control group. At the end of the intervention program, the Self-Compassion Scale and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12) will be administered to both groups.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale (CSES)
Time Frame: 5 week
Turan and Tufan (1987) adapted the scale developed by Stanley Coopersmith (1967) into Turkish. Coopersmith (1967) found the reliability coefficient of the scale to be 0.91 for women and 0.80 for men. Additionally, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale was determined as 0.86. Each item of the scale, which consists of 25 items, is determined according to two options: "Suitable for me" and "Not suitable for me". The scoring of the scale is "4" for each correct statement and "0" for each incorrect statement; the highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 100 and the lowest score is 0. As the score obtained from the scale increases, individuals' self-esteem also increases. On the scale, a self-esteem level below 50 points is considered low, and a self-esteem level of 50 points and above is considered high. There are no reverse coded items in the scale.
