Brief Summary

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" given to the relatives of patients in the palliative care clinic on burnout and care burden. According to the experimental design with pretest and posttest control groups, participants selected from the universe were assigned to the experimental and control groups in an unbiased manner.

In this study, a priori power analysis was performed to determine the sample size, and Cohen's standard effect sizes were taken as reference. It was determined that the effects of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on burnout and care burden in the relatives of the patients in the palliative care clinic would be compared for the independent groups, and it was determined that 80% power would be obtained at the 0.05 significance level at the 95% confidence interval. Considering the data losses and including a 30% backup sample, the research was started with a total of 68 participants. Participants included in the study were numbered from 1 to 68, and 34 experimental and 34 control groups were created at www.random.org. During the application process, 8 people from the experimental group and 6 people from the control group were separated. The research continues with 26 experimental and 28 control groups. Pre-test data were collected before the participants in the experimental group and control group were applied. Participants in the experimental group are given 8 sessions of Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life training. The trainings are carried out face to face in the busy room of the palliative care clinic. Each session is held between 3 days and 7 days for its effectiveness and continuity. One week after the Awareness-Based Compassionate Life training (after 8 sessions are completed), the relatives of the patients hospitalized in the palliative care clinic will be filled with a face-to-face interview with the "Maslach Burnout Scale, Caregiver Burden Scale, Self-Compassion Scale Short Form" posttest. Post-test data will be taken simultaneously from the experimental and control groups.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Introductory Information Form	The form consists of 10 questions containing information about the patient and caregiver in the palliative clinic created by the researcher within the scope of the literature. The created form includes questions covering the caregiver's age, gender, place of residence, educational status, social security, marital status, profession, and the process in which she cares for her patient.	up to 1 day

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Maslach Burnout Scale	The scale was developed by Maslach and Jackson in 1981 and was adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992). There are 22 items in the original form of the scale and these items are collected in three dimensions. There are 9 items in the dimension of Emotional Exhaustion, 8 items in the dimension of Personal Achievement, and 5 items in the dimension of Depersonalization. Each subscale is scored separately. High scores on the Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization subscales and low scores on the Personal Achievement subscale indicate high levels of burnout. The scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale and should be answered as "never (0), rarely (1), sometimes (2), often (3), always (4)" according to the severity of the items. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients for the sub-dimensions of the scale were calculated as 0.83 for Emotional Exhaustion, 0.72 for Depersonalization, and 0.67 for Personal Success.

Other Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Caregiver Burden Scale	The scale was developed by Zarit, Reever and Bach-Peterson in 1980 and adapted into Turkish by İnci (2006). It is a scale used to evaluate the difficulty experienced by caregivers of individuals in need of care. The scale consists of 22 statements that determine the effect of caregiving on the life of the individual. The scale has a Likert-type rating ranging from 0 to 4 as "never", "rarely", "sometimes", "often" or "almost always". A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 88 points can be obtained from the scale. The items in the scale are generally related to the social and emotional domain, and a high score indicates a high level of distress. It was stated that the internal consistency coefficient of the scale was 0.95.
