Detailed description

The research was designed experimentally. The research will be conducted between February 2025 and April 2025 with female patients diagnosed with breast cancer who were treated in the oncology service of Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Medicine hospital in Sivas-Central province in the middle of Turkey and who meet the inclusion criteria. The study will be carried out face to face after obtaining the necessary institutional permissions. Participants to be included in the research will be included in the sample by taking into account the inclusion criteria at each stage. After the subject, purpose and method of the study are explained to the participants to be included in the study, they will be asked to fill out the informed consent form. Participants will then be divided into intervention and control groups by simple randomization method. Before the intervention, an information form, Self-Compassion Scale and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12) will be applied to both groups. The implementation of the study will be carried out at the patient's convenience, in a time period that will not interfere with his treatment in any way, and in a special area determined by the hospital management, while preserving his privacy. A mindfullness-based intervention program consisting of 8 sessions will be applied to the Intervention Group. No intervention will be applied to the control group. At the end of the intervention program, the Self-Compassion Scale and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12) will be administered to both groups.
