This intervention intended to support patients' management of their chronic illness (self-efficacy) by increasing their hope about their treatment and alleviate anxiety, as well as increase patient saturation level.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participation in this research is entirely voluntary. Participants are required to complete a semi-screening assessment form which asks socio-demographic and bio-medical information. This form is also assess participants eligibility to take part. Then will ask participants to complete the Hospital and Depression Scale (HADS), Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease (SEMCD), Beck's Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Emotion Thermometer (ET), State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before and after (pre-post) their allocated intervention (arm). Participants have the right to answer as many or as few questions asked as they wish. They also have the right to withdraw from the study up to four weeks after they have completed the required psychometric measurement tools. Should they wish to withdraw then they will need to inform the researcher by email, quoting their unique participation identification code which will be generated before beginning the study using their name initials and date of birth. This will enable researcher to identify all the materials that needs to be deleted due to their withdrawal from the project. Alternatively, if they decide that they no longer want to take part in the study they can notify the researcher/clinician immediately and their recorded information (if any) will be completely erased from the study. Other than answering a number of demographic questions (in order to establish the characteristics of the sample), participants will not be directly disclosing any confidential personal information. However, the survey completion data will be checked for any identifying information and anonymised if necessary. Participants will be allocated a code number, and this will be used when quoting from the data-set. The data will be kept confidential and stored in a safe locked cabinet/storage at all times. The ethical approval is obtained from one of the Turkish institution where they issue ethical approval in accordance with the ethical standards of the Helsinki declaration.
