| The Distress Thermometer (DT) | The scale was developed to measure psychological distress in cancer patients. The problems in the list are grouped into five areas. These are daily life problems, family problems, emotional problems, faith-related problems, and physical problems. The patient marks which one or which areas of the list he/she has experienced problems in the last week. The cut-off point of the scale in our country was found to be 4. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) argues that patients who score 5 or above on the distress thermometer are in significant distress and should be supported by professionals. | 1 day before intervention start |

| Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) | The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) has two sub-dimensions. These are: daily functions and self-perceptions. The scale is scored on a five-point Likert scale: Strongly Disagree (1 point), Disagree (2 points), Undecided (3 points), Agree (4 points) and Strongly Agree (5 points). Scores that can be obtained from the scale vary between 11 and 55. A high score on the scale indicates a better level of participation in normal life. |
