Research data will be collected with data collection tools after obtaining ethics committee and institutional permission. Psychoeducation based on the positive psychotherapy balance model will be carried out face-to-face with caregivers of individuals with colorectal cancer in a city hospital.
The population of the study will consist of caregivers of individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer in a city hospital. The sample of the study was calculated by performing power analysis with GPower 3.1.9.4 programme. As a result of the power analysis based on a similar study for the research designed as a control and an intervention group, the total sample size was calculated as 38 people in the groups of 19 people at the 85% Power 0.05 alpha significance level, with the prediction that the difference in the medium effect size f=0.25 between the groups in the pre and post evaluations for the two groups would be considered statistically significant. Considering the possibility of caregivers dropping out or being excluded from the study, it was decided to include 8 additional people, 4 in each group. A total of 46 caregivers in the intervention and control groups will constitute the sample of the study.
Which caregivers will be in the intervention group and which will be in the control group will be determined according to the randomisation table determined via the internet https://www.randomizer.org/. Group 1: Intervention Group, Group 2: Control Group. Afterwards, they will be assigned to the groups in accordance with the order in the randomisation table. The randomisation result will be indicated in the form of a table.
Personal information form, Balanced Life Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale and Self-Efficacy Scale will be used as data collection tools.
Data collection tools will be applied to all caregivers who agree to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria, and a brief information about the psychoeducation process will be given. Psychoeducation based on Positive Psychotherapy Balance Model will be conducted in 5 sessions (5 weeks), one day a week, 90-120 minutes. The control group will receive a one-session (60 minutes) information training after 3 weeks.
After all sessions are completed, post-tests will be applied to the intervention group and the control group.. Follow-up data will be collected from the intervention and control groups 3 months after the psychoeducation programme is completed. After the end of the study, PPT Balance Model Based Psychoeducation will be given to the caregivers in the control group.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The principle of balance, which is one of the principles of positive psychotherapy, argues that it is possible for individuals to cope with their conflicts by allocating their life energies to four areas in a balanced way. In accordance with the principle of balance, individuals should use the areas of body, relationship, success and future/spirituality in a balanced way in order to solve the problems they experience. Because, according to positive psychotherapy, it is possible for individuals to have a fully healthy and productive life with the importance they will give to these four basic life dimensions and the balanced use of the time and energy they will spend. In the context of positive psychotherapy, an individual who has a balanced life goal and also has high general self-efficacy skills is expected to be more courageous and willing to show the necessary efforts to maintain a balanced life. Because the individual with high general self-efficacy skills will have a strong belief in overcoming the problems he/she may encounter despite the effort he/she will make for a balanced life, and thus, the individual who has the desire to live a balanced life and can find the competence to make the necessary efforts will be able to keep his/her motivation high to continue his/her efforts as he/she sees the positive changes in his/her life with the steps he/she will take. The concept of psychological well-being, which focuses on the self-development and growth of the individual by realising his/her own meaning, competence and capacity based on the individuals own self-powers and competencies, is the natural result of the process experienced by the individual aiming for such a life at this point. In this direction, it can be said that adopting a loving, connected and balanced state of mind in the face of the difficulties experienced by caregivers and the responsibilities they undertake will increase the joy, meaning, self-sufficiency in life and, as a result, may contribute positively to their level of well-being. All these results help caregivers to recognise their own resources, maintain their life balance, and adopt a positive perspective towards themselves.
