Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Comfort	The scale consists of 39 items in total. Each statement in the scale has a Likert-type rating ranging from 1-4 from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". 24 of the expressions are positive and 15 are negative, and negative items are reversed in scoring. Accordingly, a high score (4) indicates high comfort, a low score (1) indicates low comfort, and a low score (1) indicates high comfort in negative statements, and a high score (4) indicates low comfort. The Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.915.	5 weeks after first meeting
Primary	Satisfaction with Life	It was developed to determine an individual's satisfaction with his/her life. The scale consists of five Likert-style items on a 7-point scale (1: strongly disagree, 7: strongly agree). The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 5 and the highest score is 35. A low score is accepted as an indicator of low life satisfaction and a high score as an indicator of high life satisfaction.	5 weeks after first meeting
Primary	Burnout	It was created to measure the perceived burnout level. The scale consists of 22 items in total and is 7-point Likert type. These options are as follows in terms of severity; 1- Never, 2- Very Rarely, 3- Sometimes, 4- Most of the Time, 5- Always. There are three subscales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment.	5 weeks after first meeting
