The "Role Performance Strenghthening Program (RPSP)" based on the Roy Adaptation Model was structured to increase the competence and adaptive performance levels of nurses working in pandemic units and to strenghthen role performance of nurses. In the measurements made after the completion of the program, it was determined that the competence and adaptive performance level of the nurses increased. It was found that the Roy Adaptation Model was suitable for use in research to be conducted on a nurse sample regarding coping with the challenges caused by coronavirus pandemic. It is recommended that the RPSP be included in institutional training programs.
It has been understood that supporting the mental health and resilience of nurses who are vulnerable to the difficulties experienced during the pandemic process is of great importance. In this context, it has been revealed that there is a need for supportive psychiatric nursing practices; that psychiatric nurses need to help their colleagues cope with difficulties during difficult processes such as the pandemic. Based on this need, a psychoeducation program was written in this doctoral thesis to support and strengthen nurses during the pandemic process. This program, called "Role Performance Strengthening Program", is shaped within the framework of cognitive behavioral approach elements and is based on the Roy Adaptation Model. It is thought that the competence and adaptive performance level of nurses will increase through this structured psychoeducation program; therefore, the competence and adaptive performance level of nurses will be maintained and even increased during difficult processes such as the pandemic.

Scoring below 26 on the "Nurse Competence Scale"
Quantitative data collection forms were first given to 54 nurses by the researcher and collected. After the scores obtained from these forms were collected and averaged, 42 nurses who received less than 26 points from the Nurse Competence Scale were selected. Getting less than 25 points from the Nurse Competence Scale is an indicator of low level of competence. Nurses' competence levels were measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 100 points. Scores below 25 indicate "low competence"; scores between 25 and 49 indicate "slightly good competence"; scores between 50 and 75 indicate "good competence"; and scores above 75 indicate "very good competence".
Time frame: All quantitative and qualitative data of the first phase of the research were collected in approximately 8 weeks.
