Brief Summary
In this study, aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life Training" given to university students on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief process. According to the experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group, the participants selected from the universe will be assigned to the experimental and control groups impartially. In this study, a priori power analysis will be performed to determine the sample size. For the independent groups, in which the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief will be compared, 80% power will be achieved at a significance level of 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. A total of 68 participants will be reached by taking into account data losses and including 30% backup sample in the research. Participants included in the study will be numbered from 1 to 68 and 34 experimental and 34 control groups will be created from www.random.org. Pre-test data will be collected before applying to earthquake survivors in the experimental group and control group. 8 sessions of Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life training will be given to earthquake survivors in the experimental group. Training sessions will be held online. For its effectiveness and continuity, each session will be held between 3 days and 7 days. One week after the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living training (after 8 sessions were completed), the "Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Determination Scale (NSSTDBÖ)", "The Grief Scale" was administered to the earthquake survivors. The "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (STS-F)" post-test will be filled in by face-to-face interview. Post-test data from the experimental and control groups will be obtained simultaneously.

Study Arms (8)
Session 1: How We Evolved - Threat, Impulse, and Soothing Systems
EXPERIMENTAL* A "breath break with kindness" is practiced. * Encourage them to think about how threat, impulse and sedative systems have developed in their own lives. * A "safe place" application is made. * "Courtesy meditation" is done.

Session 4: Internalizing compassion
EXPERIMENTAL* "Pretend-to-pretend" practice is made for participants to observe themselves. * In addition to the previous practices, the practice of "internalizing compassion" is made in order to increase their expanded mindfulness. * "Courtesy meditation: a neutral person", "kindness towards your body", which is based on mindfulness practices and increases body awareness and mindful movement, is carried out. During the day, they will be informed that they should do the "walking with kindness" practice on their own.
Session 5: Me and others - Expanding the circle
EXPERIMENTAL* A "compassionate letter" application is made by asking participants to think about a situation they encountered recently or some time ago and is still causing distress. It is explained that they can gain insight with this application. * "Courtesy meditation: the 'difficult' person", "compassion and breathing: yourself" and "compassionate breathing: others" practices are made.

EXPERIMENTAL* Participants are made to choose a day in their life and allow a few minutes to pause in a mindful way. * "A breather for wise and compassionate action", "calmness meditation" and "joy sharing meditation" practices are carried out.
Session 8: Living with the Heart
EXPERIMENTAL* The participants are told about the applications that they can apply for, where they need help to develop compassion towards self-healing skills, and the whole training is evaluated. * The "river of life" application, which evaluates mindfulness in depth, is carried out. * An overall summary of the 8-session study is made and feedback is received.
