Brief Summary

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

The study aims to analyze the effects of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on the motivation levels and compliance with immunosuppressive therapy of post-liver transplant recipients.

H1-0: MBCT has no effect on the compliance of recipients to immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation.

H1-1: MBCT has an effect on the compliance of recipients to immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation.

H2-0: MBCT has no effect on increasing the motivation of recipients after liver transplantation.

H2-1: MBCT has an effect on increasing the motivation of recipients after liver transplantation.

Detailed Description

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

Experimental group Data collection tools will be applied to the patients in the experimental group before the MBCT intervention. The 60 patients in the experimental group will be divided into six subgroups, each consisting of 10 patients. MBCT will be applied by Expert Clinical Psychologist Aybüke İğdir, who has received special training in the field. There will be a group facilitator among the MBCT trainers. The group facilitator is a psychologist with postgraduate education and experience in MBCT. The MBCT intervention will be applied to each subgroup of the experimental group on different days. During the MBCT intervention, eight consecutive sessions will be held with the themes of "Mindfulness and Autopilot", "Living in Our Mind", "Focusing on the Distracted Mind", "Recognizing Hate", "Allowing", "Thoughts Are Not Real", "How Can I Best Take Care of Myself?" and "Maintaining and Expanding New Learning". The theme of Maintaining and Expanding New Learning includes special techniques that patients can apply for medication compliance. There will be one MBCT session per week and therefore the MBCT program will continue for eight weeks. After the eight-week MBCT program ends, no intervention will be applied to the patients in the experimental group for the next month based on similar studies in the literature and at the end of this one month, in the posttest phase, these patients will be applied the scales once again.

Control group Data collection tools will be applied to patients in the control group as part of the pre-test. Patients with questions will be allowed to direct their questions to the researchers. After these questions are answered, no intervention will be made to the control group and patients in the control group will not be contacted at any time for the next three months. After three months, patients in the control group will be invited to the outpatient clinic and the scales will be applied to these patients once more during these outpatient clinic visits to collect post-test data.
