Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to decrease cancer survivors' intrusive ruminative thoughts and cancer-related fatigue and increase their purposive ruminative thoughts and psychological resilience. In this context, an online (Zoom) 10-session empowerment program based on the literature will be implemented for cancer survivors.


Clinical Trial Description

From the time they were diagnosed with cancer, individuals struggle with ruminative thoughts about why they have this disease, whether they will get better during the treatment process, whether the disease will recur in the future, and cognitive, physical, and emotional fatigue, the cause of which cannot be fully explained. All these processes continue to negatively affect the lives of cancer survivors during the remission period. Studies show that when cancer survivors manage this stressful process well and learn effective coping methods, they can come out of it by developing their psychological resilience. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of an empowerment program to be applied to cancer survivors' ruminative thoughts, cancer-related fatigue, and psychological resilience. The hypotheses of this research are: H 1-1: There is a difference between ruminative thinking scores at the end of the empowerment program applied to individuals with cancer in remission and in the follow-up measurement compared to the pre-program and control groups. H 1-2: There is a difference between cancer-related fatigue scores at the end of the empowerment program applied to individuals with cancer in remission and in the follow-up measurement compared to the pre-program and control groups. H 1-3: There is a difference between psychological resilience scores at the end of the empowerment program applied to individuals with cancer in remission and in the follow-up measurement compared to the pre-program and control groups. ;
