Clinical Trial Summary

Bariatric surgery maintains its place in the literature as the most effective treatment method for obesity. In order for the surgery to be effective, it is important for individuals to adapt to the surgical process. This process has become more manageable with lifestyle changes and health education. Mindfulness practices are (useful forms of intervention) for practicing and restructuring the brain for healthier eating habits. The results of mindfulness studies show that mindful eating practices can be effective in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Studies on mindfulness in obesity are increasing rapidly in the literature; however, few studies have tested this approach in bariatric surgery patients. This research was planned in an action research design to examine the effect of mindfulness-based education program on individuals' mindful eating in bariatric surgery patients. As an action in the research, an mindfullness-based training program will be developed for the bariatric patient group. Then, in the preoperative period, a four-week, weekly session of mindfulness-based exercise and eating training will be given to the action group as an intervention. Mindful Eating Questionnaire will be applied to all participants (action and control group) before the training, and data will be collected from the action group with the vignette technique. A short cut story will be prepared, and the participants will be asked to complete the short story in written form. At the end of the training sessions, a focus group discussion will be held with the participants. An in-depth interview will be conducted with each participant in line with the semi-structured interview form in the third and sixth months after the surgery. The Mindful Eating Questionnaire will be readministered to both the action group and the control group. During and after the training, participants will be asked to write down any changes they notice in their diaries. In the research, quantitative data will be evaluated with descriptive statistical tests, and qualitative data will be evaluated with content analysis, descriptive and thematic analysis. As a result of the research, it is aimed to improve the mindful eating of the participants. It is anticipated that the research will increase the mindfulness level of the participants in their lives and contribute to future research.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Mindful Eating	Mindful Eating Questionnaire There are 5 sub-factors in a 4-point Likert-type scale with 28 questions, the original name of which is the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ). The association between MEQ and eating behavior and emotional state can be carefully questioned. MEQ has been proposed by Framson et al. (2009) as a useful weight loss tool that has created non-judgmental awareness of physical and emotional sensations associated with eating. The validity and reliability analyze of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) for the Turkish sample were performed by Köse et al.	Before the surgery, 3. and 6. Months after the surgery
