Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cooling Pillowcases
The intervention group will be given 'Patient Information Form, Menopause Specific Hot Flash Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and FACT-B Quality of Life Scale' to be filled in the 1st week, training on treatment side effects, training booklet and 'Hot Flash Diary' to record the hot flashes they experience. A cooling pillowcase will be given and its use will be explained. In the 5th week, 'Practices for Coping with the Side Effects of Hormone Therapy Form' will be filled out to evaluate the training given and the training will be repeated. A total of 3 follow-ups will be carried out by using the 'Patient Follow-up Form' by telephone in the 3rd and 7th weeks and face-to-face interview in the 5th week. In the 9th week, 'Menopause Specific Hot Flush Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and FACT-B Quality of Life Scale' and 'Practices for Coping with Side Effects of Hormone Therapy Form' will be completed to evaluate the effectiveness of the retraining given in the 5th week.
