Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Coopersmith Self-Esteem Scale (CSES)

Turan and Tufan (1987) adapted the scale developed by Stanley Coopersmith (1967) into Turkish. Coopersmith (1967) found the reliability coefficient of the scale to be 0.91 for women and 0.80 for men. Additionally, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the scale was determined as 0.86. Each item of the scale, which consists of 25 items, is determined according to two options: "Suitable for me" and "Not suitable for me". The scoring of the scale is "4" for each correct statement and "0" for each incorrect statement; the highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 100 and the lowest score is 0. As the score obtained from the scale increases, individuals' self-esteem also increases. On the scale, a self-esteem level below 50 points is considered low, and a self-esteem level of 50 points and above is considered high. There are no reverse coded items in the scale.

Secondary outcomes

Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-SP-12)

The validity and reliability of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp29 12), which was developed by Peterman et al. (2002) to measure the spiritual well-being of the individual in all chronic diseases, including cancer, was conducted in our country by Aktürk et al. (2017). The scale, which has 3 sub-dimensions (Meaning, Peace and Faith), allows the examination of all components of spiritual well-being. The scale is Likert type and consists of 12 items. The items in the scale have a numbering system from 0 to 4 (0-Not at all, 4-Extremely). The total score of the "Meaning" sub-dimension (Items 2,3,5,8) varies between 0 and 16 points, the total score of the "Peace" sub-dimension (Items 1,4,6,7) varies between 0 and 16 points, and the total score for the "Belief" sub-dimension (Items 9,10,11,12) varies between 0 and 16 points. The total scale score varies between 0 and 48. Higher scale values indicate greater spiritual well-being. In the study conducted by Aktürk (2017) on validity a
