Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form
Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form consists of 16 items and 5 sub-dimensions in 5-point Likert type (1=almost never, 5=almost always). It has five sub-dimensions: Clarity, Goals, Impulse, Strategies, and Non-Acceptance. A minimum score of 16 points and a maximum score of 80 points can be obtained from the scale and high scores obtained from the sub-dimensions and total score of the scale indicate that emotion regulation difficulties are high.

Change in the Emotion Regulation Skills Scale
The Emotion Regulation Skills Scale is a five-point Likert-type (1=almost never, 5=almost always) self-report instrument consisting of 27 items and nine subscales. The sub-dimensions are Awareness/attention, Body sensations, Clarity, Understanding, Acceptance, Tolerance, Preparation for confrontation, Self-support, and Modification. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 27 and the maximum score is 135. The scale can be evaluated on the total score and the average of the sub-dimension scores

Change in the Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Scale-30
This scale is a 7-point Likert-type (1: Strongly Disagree; 7: Strongly Agree) self-report instrument consisting of 30 items. The minimum score is 30 points and the maximum score is 210 points. This scale has 6 subscales. These subscales consist of behavioral avoidance, aversion to distress, procrastination, distraction/suppression, suppression/denial and endurance of distress. The increase in the scores obtained from the scale means an increase in the level of the related dimension. Only item 15 of the scale items is reverse scored. However, it is possible to get a total score; however, for this purpose, it is necessary to reverse score the distress tolerance dimension.

Change in the Compassion Fatigue Short Scale
This scale is a 10-point Likert-type scale ranging from rarely/never (1) to very often (10) and consists of 13 items. The lowest score is 13 and the highest score is 130. As the scores obtained from the scale increase, the level of co-sensory fatigue experienced by individuals also increases. The scale consists of two sub-dimensions: 'secondary trauma' and 'occupational burnout'
