About this study
Official title: The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living Training Given to Informal Caregivers of Inpatients in Palliative Clinics on Burnout and Care Burden: A Randomized Controlled Study
In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" given to the relatives of patients in the palliative care clinic on burnout and care burden. According to the experimental design with pretest and posttest control groups, participants selected from the universe were assigned to the experimental and control groups in an unbiased manner.
In this study, a priori power analysis was performed to determine the sample size, and Cohen's standard effect sizes were taken as reference. It was determined that the effects of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on burnout and care burden in the relatives of the patients in the palliative care clinic would be compared for the independent groups, and it was determined that 80% power would be obtained at the 0.05 significance level at the 95% confidence interval. Considering the data losses and including a 30% backup sample, the research was started with a total of 68 participants. Participants included in the study were numbered from 1 to 68, and 34 experimental and 34 control groups were created at www.random.org. During the application process, 8 people from the experimental group and 6 people from the control group were separated. The research continues with 26 experimental and 28 control groups. Pre-test data were collected before the participants in the experimental group and control group were applied. Participants in the experimental group are given 8 sessions of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life training. The trainings are carried out face to face in the busy room of the palliative care clinic. Each session is held between 3 days and 7 days for its effectiveness and continuity. One week after the Awareness-Based Compassionate Life training (after 8 sessions are completed), the relatives of the patients hospitalized in the palliative care clinic will be filled with a face-to-face interview with the "Maslach Burnout Scale, Caregiver Burden Scale, Self-Compassion Scale Short Form" posttest. Post-test data will be taken simultaneously from the experimental and control groups.
Read the detailed description
Research data will be collected face to face by the researcher. The study continues with caregivers of patients in 54 palliative clinics who meet the inclusion criteria (being a caregiver of the patient in the palliative clinic, being willing to participate in the research, being open to communication and cooperation). The descriptive characteristics form consisting of 10 questions, "Maslach burnout scale (BBL), Caregiver Burden Scale, Self-Compassion Scale Short Form" was used to collect data. The pre-test data of the research data have been collected and the training process continues. One week after the end of the training, post-test data will be collected simultaneously from the experimental and control groups. The research continues with 54 participants, 26 in the experimental group and 28 in the control group.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Introductory Information Form
The form consists of 10 questions containing information about the patient and caregiver in the palliative clinic created by the researcher within the scope of the literature. The created form includes questions covering the caregiver's age, gender, place of residence, educational status, social security, marital status, profession, and the process in which she cares for her patient.
Measured: up to 1 day
Secondary outcomes (1)
Maslach Burnout Scale
The scale was developed by Maslach and Jackson in 1981 and was adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992). There are 22 items in the original form of the scale and these items are collected in three dimensions. There are 9 items in the dimension of Emotional Exhaustion, 8 items in the dimension of Personal Achievement, and 5 items in the dimension of Depersonalization. Each subscale is scored separately. High scores on the Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization subscales and low scores on the Personal Achievement subscale indicate high levels of burnout. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale and should be answered as "never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), often (3), always (4)" according to the severity of the items. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients for the sub-dimensions of the scale were calculated as 0.83 for Emotional Exhaustion, 0.72 for Depersonalization, and 0.67 for Personal Success.
Measured: up to 1 day
