Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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.
