This research is an experimental study with a randomized pre-test-post-test control group to
evaluate the effect of the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training
program carried out by tele-nursing on the palliative care nurses' perception of stress,
resilience and compassion fatigue.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Question 1. Will the cognitive behavioral approach-based stress coping skills training
program to be carried out through tele-nursing have an effect on the increase in the stress
coping score of the palliative care nurses in the intervention group? 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.
