About this study
Official title: The Effects of Existential Approach and Logotherapy Based Psychosocial Support Program on Nursing Students in Period of Pandemic on the Meaning of Life and Life Satisfaction
This study is a psychosocial intervention program designed to intervene in the meaning of life and existential problems and life satisfaction in nursing students, especially during the epidemic. In the short term, it expects that students will gain awareness, especially in areas such as life satisfaction, anxiety, aimlessness, the meaning of life, deterioration in functionality, and in the long term, the individual's ultimate issues (death, loneliness, meaning and responsibility) and provide a perspective that can cope with the problems that may arise in these areas. Based on all these, it is aimed to raise awareness of the meaning of life and life satisfaction in nursing students, who constitute a young population, with the existential approach and logotherapy-based psychosocial support program.
H1. The existential approach and logotherapy-based psychosocial support program will affect the experimental group's meaning and purpose of life scale scores.

H2. The existential approach and logotherapy-based psychosocial support program will affect the experimental group's life satisfaction scale scores.
H3. After the existential approach and logotherapy-based psychosocial support program, there will be a significant difference between the experimental and control groups' meaning and purpose of life scores.
H4. After the existential approach and logotherapy-based psychosocial support program, there will be a significant difference between the experimental and control groups' life satisfaction scores.
