Aslı Tekaüt32 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an online psychiatric nursing approach based on the Tidal Model philosophy on the psychological resilience and self-compassion levels of individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorder. The study is designed as a randomized controlled doctoral dissertation. The sample consists of individuals who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Ankara, were diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and met the inclusion criteria. Participants were assigned to either the intervention or control group using a computer-generated randomization method. While the control group received only routine clinical follow-ups without any additional intervention, the intervention group participated in 8 sessions of individual online nursing interventions structured according to Tidal Model principles. Data were collected using an Socio-demographic Information Form, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale, administered online to both groups before and after the intervention.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing intervention in clinical practice and to emphasize the importance of holistic, patient-centered approaches in nursing care for patients with anxiety disorders. Study Hypotheses: Hypothesis 1 (H1): The psychological resilience levels of individuals who receive the Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing approach are statistically significantly higher after the intervention compared to the individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2 (H2): The self-compassion levels of individuals who receive the Tidal Model-based psychiatric nursing approach are statistically significantly higher after the intervention compared to the individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 3 (H3): The psychological resilience levels of individuals in the intervention group show a statistically significant increase after the intervention compared to before the intervention. Hypothesis 4 (H4): The self-compassion levels of individuals in the intervention group show a statistically significant increase after the intervention compared to before the intervention. Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of psychological resilience and self-compassion levels after the intervention.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Psychological Resilience Scale Score

Change in psychological resilience levels as measured by the Resilience Scale for Adults (33 items, 5-point Likert scale). Minimum score is 33 and maximum score is 165. Higher scores indicate higher levels of psychological resilience (better outcome). Pre-test was administered at Week 0 before intervention, and post-test was administered at Week 8 immediately following the 8-week intervention.

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0, pre-test 1 day before intervention) and Post-test (Week 8, 1 day after completion of the 8-week intervention)

Secondary Outcomes

Change in Self-Compassion Scale Score

Change in self-compassion levels as measured by the Turkish version of the Self-Compassion Scale (Deniz, Kesici, \& Sumer, 2008; 24 items, 5-point Likert scale). Minimum score is 24 and maximum score is 120. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-compassion (better outcome). Pre-test was administered at Week 0 before intervention, and post-test was administered at Week 8 immediately following the 8-week intervention.
