Detailed description

Panic disorder; palpitations, sweating, tachycardia, fear of death, depersonalization, derealization, fear of going crazy, etc. It is a psychiatric disorder with symptoms. The most commonly used psychotherapy method for panic disorder patients is cognitive behavioral therapies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a psychotherapy method originating from cognitive behavioral therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps individuals act in the direction of their values by allowing them to contact their painful experiences rather than trying to escape or try to get rid of their difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports psychological well-being by providing psychological flexibility in the person. Rumination is mental rumination, which is used to keep thoughts spinning in the mind repetitively after an event.Self-compassion is a concept used to mean understanding oneself despite one's mistakes. This study aims to create psychoeducation based on acceptance and commitment therapy for patients with panic disorder and to evaluate the effect of this program on rumination and self-compassion. Psychoeducation, an evidence-based practice, is very important for the nursing profession. Although nurses have a significant impact on psychoeducational practices, this role is ignored and not implemented adequately. In addition, since there is no research examining the concepts of rumination and self-compassion together in people with panic disorder, it is thought that our study will be useful in new research.
