Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Intentionality is an ongoing process of discovering the nurse's self, purpose, and mission in life. The nurse's intentionality is a dynamic concept that evolves continuously. The nurse's cultural and ethnic background, philosophical and religious beliefs, life experiences, capacity for reflection, and self-awareness influence intentionality development and expression. It is recommended that nurses be encouraged to foster self-care and seek mentors and those who will support intentional care and healing practices. Also, breathing techniques, meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection are recommended exercises for developing intentionality. Mindfulness is one way to cultivate personal knowing, awareness, and intentionality to facilitate growth and development in a transpersonal caring relationship. Mindfulness is consistently paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. Mindfulness helps support full attention, deep understanding, and immediacy in caring practice. Practicing mindfulness, the nurse becomes fully available to see, understand, love, and care. Mindfulness facilitates attending to one's thoughts and actions in each moment to extend compassion to self, others, the world, and beyond.
Evidence shows that mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) help to reduce work-related stress, psychological distress, depression, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Also, MBI positively affects self-care awareness, emotion management, empathy satisfaction, professionals' receptivity, motivation, and responsiveness to others. However, no research has been found to increase the nurse's mindful awareness or improve intentionality in the caring relationship. The study aimed to explore nurses' perceptions of intentionality in caring relationships and the effectiveness of the mindful caring education program based on the Theory of Unitary Caring Science. In this context, the research questions are as follows:
Research Question 1. What are nurses' perceptions of intentionality in the caring relationship? Research Question 2. What are the facilitators of intentionality in the caring relationship? Research Question 3. What are the impediments to intentionality in the caring relationship? Research Question 4. Is a mindful caring education program effective in improving nurses' intentionality?

Mindful Caring Education Program
A four-session education plan was prepared under the nature of action research. The Theory of Unitary Caring Science is transferred to practice through Caritas processes. In this context, ten Caritas processes and caring-healing modalities (meditation, reflection, etc.) were used in the study. The pilot study was carried out with six nurses face-to-face. The education program was conducted on an online platform. Each education took approximately 2.30-3 hours. The evaluation process in action research is an essential part of the change.
