Çalışmaya katılım sağlayan kadınların psikolojik sağlamlık düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği, mutluluk düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla Oxford Mutluluk Ölçeği Kısa Formu, öz şefkat düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla ise Öz-şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formu uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada çalışma grubuna sekiz oturumdan oluşan 180 dakika süren bir program uygulanmıştır. Ön-test son-test kontrol grupsuz yarı deneysel desenin kullanıldığı araştırmada veriler, eşleştirilmiş iki grup t testi (paired samples t-test) ile çözümlenmiştir.

Abstract

This study was designed to test whether the Compassionate Mind Psychoeducation Programme is effective on women's psychological resilience, happiness and self-compassion levels. The study group of the research consists of 106 female participants aged between 25-58 years. The Brief Psychological Resilience Scale was applied to determine the psychological resilience level of the individuals who participated in the study, the Oxford Happiness Scale Short Form was applied to determine their happiness levels, and the Self-Compassion Scale Short Form was applied to determine their self-compassion levels. In the study, a programme consisting of eight sessions lasting 180 minutes was applied to the study group. In the study in which a quasi-experimental design without pre-test post-test control group was used, the data were analysed with paired samples t-test.
