Обзор

This study aims to examine the effects of hope-focused motivational interviewing on levels of hope, self-efficacy, and self-compassion in patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy, using a randomized controlled design.

Подробное описание

This study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design. It will be conducted with individuals diagnosed with cancer who are receiving inpatient care in the Radiation Oncology unit of a City Hospital. According to the G\*Power analysis, a minimum of 46 participants (intervention = 23, control = 23) will be included in the study. The computer-aided https://www.random.org/integers/ program will be used to assign the intervention and control groups without bias. The intervention group will receive a "Hope-Focused Motivational Interviewing" program consisting of four sessions delivered twice weekly, while the control group will receive routine treatment and care. Data will be collected using the "Information Form," "Herth Hope Index," "Brief Self-Compassion Scale," and "General Self-Efficacy Scale." Measurements will be obtained before and after the intervention. To minimize bias, data will be collected via Google Forms. The first page of the form will include information about the study along with an informed consent statement, and participants will be required to provide their consent before proceeding. Participants who agree to take part in the study will complete the questionnaires within approximately 15-20 minutes.
