Overview
Brief Summary
This study was conducted to determine the effects of a mindfulness-based self-compassion intervention and vagal nerve stimulation on heart rate variability, psychological resilience, and sleep quality in earthquake victims.
Design: "The study was designed as a randomized experimental research, where pre- and post-intervention measurements were administered to Intervention I and Intervention II groups."
Detailed Description
Hypotheses H1: The post-intervention sleep quality scores of earthquake victims in the intervention group, who received Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation, will be higher than their scores before the intervention. H2: The Psychological Resilience Scale scores of earthquake victims in the intervention group, who received Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation, will be higher post-intervention compared to pre-intervention. H3: The post-intervention heart rate variability of earthquake victims in the Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation intervention group will be higher than their pre-intervention levels. H4: The earthquake victims in the Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation intervention group will exhibit higher post-intervention sleep quality scores compared to those in the Vagal Nerve Stimulation-only group. H5: Earthquake victims in the intervention group receiving Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation will demonstrate higher Psychological Resilience Scale scores post-intervention compared to those in the group receiving only Vagal Nerve Stimulation. H6: Earthquake victims in the intervention group receiving Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion Intervention and Vagal Nerve Stimulation will show higher post-intervention heart rate variability compared to those in the group receiving only Vagal Nerve Stimulation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Heart Rate Variability
Time Frame: up to 4 weeks
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is a measure of the slight differences in timing between successive heartbeats, often measured in milliseconds. HRV is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate.
Secondary Outcomes
- Psychological Resilience(up to 4 weeks)
- pittsburgh sleep quality index(up to 4 weeks)
