Question 2. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of stress perception among palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 3. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an impact on the increase in resilience of palliative care nurses in the intervention group? Question 4. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the reduction of compassion fatigue in palliative care nurses in the intervention group? The research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design with the required ethics committee and institution permissions, a three-month announcement and initiation period, and an eight-week intervention period. Data will be collected twice at baseline and after intervention (Week 9). Personal information form, Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees will be used in the pre-test phase of data collection. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization. In order to support nurses in the intervention group to gain awareness of stress and anxiety and develop positive coping skills with stress, a total of 8 sessions of 40 minutes are planned, including interaction steps based on education and cognitive approach. Individuals will be given homework from the second week and they will be asked to deliver these homeworks to the researcher 2 days before the next interview, and it is planned to send reminder messages from the WastApp group created. Participants who do not deliver the assignments given in this study to the researcher on time will be excluded from the research even if they participate in online training.

No intervention will be applied to individuals assigned to the control group. Participants will be informed about the Mobile Mental Health Support System created by the Turkish Ministry of Health and will be directed to this application.

It is planned to apply Perceived Stress Scale, Coping with Stress Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Employees at the 9th week for the application of post-tests.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral TherapyCBD is a model that applies learning theories to assist people when they encounter difficulties and life problems that they cannot cope with in their daily lives. It focuses on the elements that affect emotions and behaviors, that is, the thought system. CBT is a process that involves changing the automatic thoughts and evaluations that occur when people are faced with negative situations with different thoughts that can create alternatives and restructuring these thoughts. The approach essentially argues that the way events are perceived and interpreted is more important than how they happen. Systematic errors in information processing, which cause people to perceive themselves, their environment and their future negatively, cause stress and symptoms of mental disorders. There are studies showing that cognitive behavioral therapy reduces stress levels and stress symptoms.
