Study Arms (4)
Experimental Group 1
EXPERIMENTALPatients assigned to Experimental Group 1 will be administered a mobile health application. Patients will be given a pre-test of "Descriptive Information," "Information About the Illness," "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale," in a room in the outpatient clinic. The mobile health application will then be introduced and downloaded to their phones. The application will be installed on the phone, and the participant will be asked to create a username and password. User registration to the mobile health application will be conducted in the presence of the researcher. Participants will be provided with a Secret Question/Secret Answer feature to access their account if their username or password is forgotten. During this process, participants will be instructed on how to use the mobile health application. Participants will be encouraged to begin using the mobile health application from the first meeting.
Experimental Group 2
EXPERIMENTALPatients assigned to Experimental Group 2 will be initiated through the Group Wellness Coaching program. A pretest will be administered in a designated room for the patients, which includes "Descriptive Information," "Information About the Illness," "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale." The researcher conducting the study will participate in Wellness Coaching training provided by the Zenith Well Health Academy and receive a certificate. Following the training, the content of the Wellness Coaching program will be planned in more detail. The planned Wellness Coaching program will then be implemented for eight weeks, once a week, for a total of eight sessions. Each week, patients will receive training through group sessions. Six groups are planned: five in each group and one group of six. At the end of the eighth week, a survey link will be sent to the patients via Google Forms.
Experimental Group 3
EXPERIMENTALPatients assigned to Experimental Group 3 will be initiated using the Mobile App + Group Wellness Coaching Program. A pretest will be administered in a designated room to assess the patients' "Descriptive Information," "Information About the Illness," "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale." The planned Group Wellness Coaching program will then be implemented once a week for eight weeks, with a total of eight sessions per week. Patients will also have access to the Mobile App Wellness Coaching program. Wellness Coaching training will be provided both through the mobile app and through group sessions. Group sessions will be held weekly with patients. The plan is to create six groups of five and one group of six. At the end of the eighth week, a survey link will be sent to patients via Google Forms. A post-test will be administered by sending the "Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness-Self-Report Scale.
Group 4
NO INTERVENTIONParticipants in the control group will not receive any intervention. Participants will be given a pre-test of "Descriptive Information," "Information About the Illness," "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale" in a room in the outpatient clinic. At the end of eight weeks, a survey link will be sent to patients via Google Forms. The "Psychosocial Adjustment to the Illness-Self-Report Scale" will be sent, followed by a post-test. The Mobile App Wellness Coaching program will be introduced and information will be provided through a brochure. Those who wish will have access to the mobile application. Follow-up tests will be conducted at the end of the first and third months. For control tests, the "Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness-Self-Report Scale" will be filled out by sending a survey link via Google Forms.
