Interventions

Positive Psychotherapy-Based Balanced Life Psychoeducation ProgramOTHER

The intervention consisted of a structured psychoeducation program based on the balance model of positive psychotherapy, specifically developed for nurses. The program focused on four core life domains: body/health, achievement/work, relationships, and meaning/future. It was delivered through scheduled sessions that included theoretical content, interactive discussions, and self-reflection exercises aimed at enhancing awareness of life balance, strengthening coping skills, and improving psychological well-being. In addition to the sessions, participants were supported through a dedicated digital platform developed for the study (https://www.yasamdadenge.com/ ). This platform enabled participants to evaluate their own balance across life domains, visualize their balance profiles, and engage with program-related content. Participants were encouraged to actively use the platform throughout the intervention period and apply the learned strategies in their daily lives.
