Our study aims to investigate the effects of planned hybrid (web-based and face-to-face) group training to be given to women with mastectomies based on Psychodynamic nursing theory, on women's body value, social appearance anxiety and sexual life quality.

Power analysis was performed for the study group of the study and intervention and control groups were created by randomization method (intervention group n = 30, control group n = 30). The study will be applied as a pretest-posttest experimental intervention method. In order to make an evaluation before and after the planned hybrid training, the situations that are most affected by women after mastectomy were analyzed in line with the literature and the data were collected from the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Body Value Scale-2, Social Appearance Anxiety Scale (SAAS), Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female (SQOL-W). will be collected using. A standard information brochure containing information about mastectomy will be given to the intervention and control groups after the pre-test. Then, hybrid group training based on Psychodynamic Nursing Theory will be given to the intervention group by the researcher. A Whatsapp group will also be established to enable patients to communicate and ask questions. During the process, 9 web-based and 3 face-to-face group trainings will be held. A posttest will be administered to both groups at the end of the last group training, and a permanence test will be administered 1 month later via Google surveys on the Whatsapp group. SPPS program and Pearson Chi-square test, Independent Samples Test, McNemar, Pearson Chi-square test, ANOVA (Repeated Measures ANOVA) will be used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, in line with the research findings, the effect of hybrid group training based on Psychodynamic Nursing Theory on the body value, social appearance anxiety and sexual life quality of women who have undergone mastectomy will be evaluated.
