|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in quality of life measured by the 12-item Quality of Life Scale | Baseline (before the intervention) and immediately after completion of the intervention | The scale was developed by Ware et al. in 1995. A validity and reliability study conducted by Soylu and Kütük in 2002 demonstrated that it is a measurement tool with adequate psychometric properties for assessing general health status and health-related quality of life in clinical practice and scientific research. The scale comprises 12 items across eight sub-dimensions: physical functioning (2 items), physical role (2 items), bodily pain (1 item), general health (1 item), energy (1 item), social functioning (1 item), emotional role (2 items) and mental health (2 items). Items relating to physical and emotional roles are answered on a dichotomous basis (yes or no), whilst the other items are measured on a Likert scale ranging from 3 to 6. A score of 100 on the scale indicates the best state of health, whilst a score of 0 indicates the worst state of health. In the Turkish validity and reliability study, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was determined to be between 0.92 and 0.88. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Change in psychological well-being measued by the 8-item Psychological Well-being Scale | Baseline (before the intervention) and immediately after completion of the intervention | The scale identifies key elements of human functioning, ranging from positive relationships to feelings of competence and leading a meaningful and purposeful life. It was developed by Diener and colleagues in 2009. The adaptation into Turkish was carried out by Telef in 2011. In the reliability study of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .80 The items on the Psychological Well-being Scale are rated on a scale of 1 to 7, ranging from 'I strongly disagree' (1) to 'I strongly agree' (7). All items are phrased in positive terms. Scores range from 8 to 56. A high score indicates that the individual possesses a wide range of psychological resources and strengths. Although the scale does not provide separate measurements of the various dimensions of well-being, it offers a general overview of positive functioning across different areas that we believe to be important. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
