Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Exclusion Criteria of the Study: Having done/having done regular activities related to mindfulness or self-compassion such as meditation, yoga, etc. in the last year.
Randomization: Nurses who met the inclusion criteria were randomly and equally divided into 2 groups as the experimental group and the control group using a computer-based program (www.random.org). The assignment to the experimental and control groups will be made by an independent statistician in order to ensure confidentiality and prevent bias. The data was coded as 'A' and 'B' by the researcher and transferred to the computer. In addition, the analysis of the coded data was performed by an independent statistician in order to prevent bias in the evaluation of the data. After the consents of the patients who met the inclusion criteria were obtained and the pre-tests were completed, they were assigned to the groups according to the assignment list.
Blinding: Due to the nature of the study, blinding will not be applied to the participants. The statistical analysis of the data was performed by an independent statistician who did not know the groups. In this way, bias will be prevented during the data analysis stage.
Data Collection Before Assignment to Groups: Information about the research will be provided, and the compliance of the nurses who agree to participate in the research with the inclusion criteria will be assessed. After the written consent of the nurses who meet the inclusion criteria is obtained, the nurses will be invited to fill out the Personal Information Form, Watson Healing Self-Assessment Scale, Conscious Awareness Scale and Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form. The sealed envelope where the randomization was made will be opened and the nurse will be assigned to the experimental or control group.
Intervention Group: A three-hour training on conscious awareness will be given to the nurses assigned to the intervention group. Information will be provided on the "Hand Hygiene Practice with Awareness" practice and a hand hygiene awareness practice will be carried out together. The researcher will check whether the nurse has implemented the hand hygiene awareness practice correctly during this process. The nurse will be asked to do this hand hygiene awareness while passing from one patient to another for eight weeks. In order to increase compliance with the hand hygiene awareness application, the researcher will give the nurses an exercise record form and send them a daily message to remind them of the hand hygiene awareness application. The messages will be used to check whether the nurse has any problems with the exercise. At the end of the fourth week, the participants will be invited to fill out the Watson Healing Self-Assessment Scale, Watson Healing Self-Assessment Scale, Conscious Awareness Scale and Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form.

R-Randomization Experimental Group T1-Pretest G-Intervention T2-Posttest Control Group T1-Pretest T2-Posttest. Before the pre-intervention groups were assigned, the first tests were applied, hand hygiene practice was taught with conscious awareness and they were asked to apply the hand hygiene ritual while performing the hand hygiene steps for four weeks. Four weeks after the beginning of the study, data were collected again with data collection tools.
