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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
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.
Secondary Outcomes
- Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12)(5 week)
