Chronic kidney failure (CRF) is an important health problem in the world and in our country. The use of hemodialysis as a treatment method has prolonged the life span of individuals with CRF; challenging and long treatment processes make the individual at risk for mental illnesses. It is an inevitable need to carry out psychosocial interventions to protect and improve the mental health of individuals, to ensure their adaptation to treatment processes, and to support them in coping with the difficulties they encounter. It is predicted that hope-focused motivational interviewing, which is a hope-enhancing intervention based on Snyder's Hope Theory, will be effective for individuals with low hope levels. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the protocol suitability of the research. This study is a single blind, randomized controlled trial. The universe of the research will consist of 44 individuals coming for treatment in the Hemodialysis Unit. The study will be carried out in the Hemodialysis Clinic between September 2021 and December 2022. Within the scope of the protocol, a preliminary application was made with two individuals. Research data will be obtained by using sociodemographic data form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Continuous Hope Scale. In the study, it was planned to apply hope-focused motivational interviews to the experimental group as one-hour sessions per week with face-to-face interviews for 8 weeks, while no intervention was made to the control group. Each session has goals and assignments for goals. Within the scope of the study, a hope tree will be created for everyone together with the patients to be used in the evaluation process of the interview sessions. Through the hope tree, it is aimed for the individual to set goals and discover the obstacles and solutions in reaching these goals. At the end of 8 weeks, the final test will be applied to the experimental and control groups. Following the post-test application, follow-up is planned at the end of the first month. The pre-application of the eight-week application protocol created for the purpose was made with two individuals. As a result of the preliminary application, it was observed that the stress, anxiety and depression levels of the individuals decreased and their hope levels increased. As a result of the preliminary application, it was concluded that the steps of the prepared application protocol were suitable for the study in line with the purpose determined with this patient group, and the protocol was transferred to the application phase as it was. It is thought that the results obtained from the research will contribute to the literature.
Financial hardship is an important risk factor for suicide. However, to date there are no evidence-based interventions to help individuals improve their financial situation and thus reduce suicide risk. The aim of our study is to develop a 24-week, peer-led intervention to reduce financial hardship for individuals experiencing financial difficulties and suicide risk, and to test whether it is feasible, acceptable to clients and achieves its desired effect. The intervention will support participants to address their financial difficulties (e.g., debt, inability to meet basic needs) by coaching them on financial management techniques, facilitating a financial wellness plan, and connecting them with community- based financial supports (e.g., free financial counseling). The intervention will be facilitated by trained peer specialists. The intervention consists of two phases: (1) a 9-week intensive phase will consist of weekly group sessions and one-on-one coaching sessions to navigate financial resources; (2) a 15-week follow-up phase will contain biweekly check-ins to achieve financial goals. This study will obtain input from stakeholders to develop the intervention (Step 1), pilot it with a small sample of participants (n=10; Step 2), use this information to revise the intervention (Step 3), test it in a larger sample of individuals with financial hardship and suicide risk (n=50; Step 4), and prepare a final version of the intervention manual (Step 5). The main outcome of this study will be a manualized intervention to lessen financial hardship as a risk factor for suicide.

The purpose of this study is to determine how a 28 Day Challenge influences mental health and well-being. This is a blinded study. Participants both with and without depression and anxiety, will be included.

This is an exploratory prospective observational cohort study to establish the levels of psychological distress in early phase clinical trial patients and evaluate the psychological impact of early phase clinical trials on cancer patients.
