Detailed Description

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

This study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design to examine the effects of forgiveness-based group psychoeducation on fear of cancer recurrence, forgiveness and psychiatric symptoms of cancer survivors.

The aim is to evaluate the effects of a forgiveness-based psychoeducation program on cancer survivors. After the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form" is obtained from individuals who agree to participate in the study, the Introductory Information Form, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Fear of Relapse Inventory and Brief Symptom Inventory will be applied. Pre-tests will be applied to the sample determined by an independent statistician. Then, participants will be divided into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. Face-to-face forgiveness-based psychoeducation will be applied to the intervention group in 90-minute sessions once/twice a week, totaling 6 sessions. In the last session of psychoeducation, a post-test ("Introductory Information Form", "Heartland Forgiveness Scale", "Fear of Relapse Inventory" and "Brief Symptom Inventory") will be administered to both the intervention and control groups. The first follow-up test of the study will be administered to both the intervention and control groups 1 month after the post-test, and the second follow-up test of the study will be administered 3 months after the post-test. After the completion of the study and the measurements, it is planned to provide forgiveness-based psychoeducation to the participants in the control group.

Outcome Assessors

The process of assigning participants to groups will be carried out by a statistician outside the study using the simple randomization method and will be hidden from the researcher until the application begins. Since the assignment to groups will be made after informed consent is obtained, the participants will be blinded (single blind). In addition, the statistician will also be blinded in order to reduce statistical analysis and reporting bias. Without specifying which group (intervention and control group) the data belong to, they will be coded and transferred to the database (group A, group B), and the data will be analyzed and reported.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Forgiveness-Based Group Psychoeducation

Forgiveness-based group psychoeducation to be conducted with the experimental group is planned as 6 sessions. The sessions are planned to be conducted in 3 groups of 8-10 people. The duration of a session is planned to be approximately 90 minutes. Group psychoeducation with the experimental group will be conducted face-to-face every week. The appropriate day for the sessions will be decided with the members of each group. The same group sessions will be conducted on the same day and time every week.
