About this study
Official title: The Effect of MIND-BE Program Applied to Intensive Care Nurses on Mental Health Parameters (Mindfulness Based Empowerment)
This study will be carried out in a prospective (pre-test, post-test, and 3-month and 6-month follow-up), randomized controlled (parallel), experimental order in order to examine the effect of the MIND-BE program applied to intensive care nurses on mental health parameters. The hypothesis of this study is that MIND-BE program increases resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, self-compassion levels, and reduces mental symptoms.
Read the detailed description
In the study, the MIND-BE program will be applied to the nurses (n=37) in the intervention group. Considering the studies on mindfulness on nurses, it is planned to practice mindfulness for 60 minutes once a week for 8 weeks. Mindfulness practice will be done online using appropriate platforms on the days and hours determined by Hilal Altundal (H.A.), who has a Mindfulness Institute-approved document. In the control group (n=43), no intervention will be made for 8 weeks. Results will be collected through data collection forms before the MIND-BE program (pre-test), after the MIND-BE program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the MIND-BE program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the MIND-BE program is completed (6. months/follow up test). The data collection forms applied to all nurses in the intervention and control groups at the beginning of the study will be applied again at the end of the 2, 3, 6 monhts. The primary expected outcome of the study is the effect of the MIND-BE program on nurses' resilience, posttraumatic growth, mindfulness, and self-compassion. The secondary expected result of the study is to determine the effect of the MIND-BE program on the mental health of nurses.

After all data are collected (after the 6 months), the training content will be explained to the nurses in the control group and the MIND-BE program will be started for them as well. In this way, both groups will benefit from this program. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Resilience will evaluate using The Resilience Scale for Adults
It was developed by Friborg et al. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was done by Basım and Çetin. The 33-item scale consists of six sub-dimensions: "Self Perception", "Future Perception", "Structural Style", "Social Competence", "Family Cohesion" and "Social Resources". Opposite each item in the scale, there are five boxes with changing expressions for each question and showing a five-point Likert structure. Questions 1,3,4,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,23,24,25,27,31,33 in the scale without any cutoff point are reverse coded. The scoring of the boxes ranges from 1 to 5 for flat coded items; from 5 to 1 for reverse coded items. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.86, and the Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the sub-dimensions range from 0.66 to 0.81.
Measured: Change from before the program (pre-test), after the program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the program is completed (6. months/follow up test)
Posttraumatic growth will evaluate using The Post Traumatic Growth Inventory
It was developed by Tedeschi and Calhoun (1996). The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was done by Kağan et al. (2012). Consisting of 21 items in total, the scale has a six-grade Likert structure (No way (0), Very little (1), A little (2), Moderate (3), Quite a lot (4), Very much (5)) . The scale consists of three sub-dimensions: "self-perception", "change in philosophy of life" and "relationship with others". An increase in the scores obtained from the scale without any cut-off point indicates that the level of post-traumatic growth increases. Similarly, the increase in the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions indicates that the sub-dimensions with increasing scores are used more. The Cronbach's alpha values of the scale ranged from 0.92, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the sub-dimensions ranged from 0.77 to 0.88.
Measured: Change from before the program (pre-test), after the program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the program is completed (6. months/follow up test)
Mindfulness will evaluate using The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale
The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), developed by Brown and Ryan (2003), is a 15-item scale that measures the general tendency to be aware of and attentive to momentary experiences in daily life. MAAS has a single factor structure and gives a single total score. High scores on the scale indicate high conscious awareness. The MAAS is a 6-point Likert-type scale (almost always, often, sometimes, rarely, quite rarely, almost never). The internal consistency coefficient was determined as 0.80 in the Turkish adaptation study of the MAAS by Özçiçek et al. (2011).
Measured: Change from before the program (pre-test), after the program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the program is completed (6. months/follow up test)
Self-compassion will evaluate using The self-compassion scale
Developed by Neff (2003), Akın et al. (2007), the self-compassion scale (self-compassion scale) consists of 26 items and six subscales (self-compassion, self-judgment, shared human experience, isolation, mindfulness, and hyper-identification). In this scale, which has a five-point Likert-type rating; almost never (1), rarely, sometimes, often, almost always (5). In the study of Akın et al. (2007), the internal consistency of the subscales ranged between 0.72 and 0.80.
Measured: Change from before the program (pre-test), after the program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the program is completed (6. months/follow up test)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Mental symptom will evaluate using The Brief Symptom Inventory
The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) is based on the 90-item Symptom Check List (SCL-90) distributed over nine factors, and is a 53-item scale consisting of the items with the highest load in each factor. The scale is a Likert-type self-evaluation inventory developed by Deregotis in 1992. The scale is the short form of the Mental Symptom Checklist and consists of five subscales and three global indexes. As a result of these studies, in the Turkish adaptation of the scale by Şahin and Durak (2002), the BSI was organized into five subsections as "Anxiety", "Depression", "Negative Self", "Somatization" and "Hostility". An increase in the total score indicates an increase in the weight of the question. There is no cut-off value for BSI. The alpha coefficients found for the subscales of BSI in the study were Depression, α=0.88; anxiety, α=0.87; negative self, α=0.87; somatization, α=0.75; hostility is listed as α=0.76. The points that can be obtained from the inventory range from 0 to 212.
Measured: Change from before the program (pre-test), after the program is completed (2.months/post-test),one month after the program is completed (3. months/follow up test) and three month after the program is completed (6. months/follow up test)
