- Conditions
- EarthquakeStress, PsychologicalTrauma
- Registration Number
- NCT05891223
- Lead Sponsor
- Ataturk University
- Brief Summary
In this study, aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life Training" given to university students on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief process. According to the experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group, the participants selected from the universe will be assigned to the experimental and control groups impartially. In this study, a priori power analysis will be performed to determine the sample size. For the independent groups, in which the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief will be compared, 80% power will be achieved at a significance level of 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. A total of 68 participants will be reached by taking into account data losses and including 30% backup sample in the research. Participants included in the study will be numbered from 1 to 68 and 34 experimental and 34 control groups will be created from www.random.org.
Pre-test data will be collected before applying to earthquake survivors in the experimental group and control group. 8 sessions of Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life training will be given to earthquake survivors in the experimental group. Training sessions will be held online. For its effectiveness and continuity, each session will be held between 3 days and 7 days. One week after the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living training (after 8 sessions were completed), the "Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Determination Scale (NSSTDBÖ)", "The Grief Scale" was administered to the earthquake survivors. The "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (STS-F)" post-test will be filled in by face-to-face interview. Post-test data from the experimental and control groups will be obtained simultaneously.
- Detailed Description
Research data will be collected face to face by researchers. 68 earthquake survivors who meet the inclusion criteria (to be studying at a university, to be affected by the earthquake, to be willing to participate in the study, to be open to communication and cooperation) will be included in the study. The descriptive features form consisting of 8 questions for data collection, "Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Detection Scale", "Mourning Scale". "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (STS-F)" will be used. Research data will be collected as a pre-test and post-test for 1 month. Those who do not regularly participate in the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living training will be excluded from the study. The research will be carried out with 68 participants, 34 in the experimental group and 34 in the control group.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Introductory Information Form [Time Frame: up to 1 day] The form consists of 8 questions containing information about the students affected by the earthquake created by the researcher within the scope of the literature. The form created, gender, place of residence, the state of being together with the parents, whether the parents are alive or not, the place where they stayed during the earthquake (home, dormitory, etc.) to what extent they were affected by the earthquake, the status of losing a relative in the earthquake, the status of receiving psychological support after the earthquake, more It includes questions about experiencing a traumatic event before and having a previously diagnosed psychiatric illness.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Scale (DSSTDBÖ) [Time Frame: up to 5 week ] DSTDBÖ is a tool developed by Tanhan and Kayri (2013) to measure the stress levels experienced by individuals after an earthquake. The scale consists of 20 items. The scale was arranged with a 5-point Likert-type rating of "strongly disagree", "little agree", "moderately agree", "strongly agree".
and "totally agree" format. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 20 and the highest score is 100. The increase in the scores obtained from the scale shows that the individuals' level of being affected by the earthquake also increases. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of the DSDTDS was found to be .87.
