About

There are studies evaluating the effects of mindfulness-based practices on individuals receiving HD treatment. No studies have been found on how Mindfulness Compassionate Life application reduces stress, increases self-efficacy and quality of life in individuals receiving HD treatment.

The population of the research will consist of 90 Hemodialysis patients who were treated in Bingöl State Hospital Dialysis Unit during the specified date range. Sample size of the research; Calculated using the GPower computer program. With the power analysis, it was calculated that at the α = 0.05 level, the effect size would be strong 150, 153 (d = 0.8) and the power of the study would be 90%, and that at least 68 patients should be included in the sample. Patients who meet the research criteria and agree to participate in the research will be randomly assigned to one experimental and one control group.
