Mindfulness education

The mindfulness-based stress reduction method was examined and a two-step mindfulness education is planned. To reveal the experience of pain: It was planned to conduct interviews with the participants to realize what they think about the pain they have experienced before or what they think about the pain they have experienced here and now, what emotions they have, and their experiences related to their coping processes with pain. Participants will be encouraged to notice negative thoughts that could impact their coping with pain negatively, and they will be provided with education on the benefits of managing the process of changing these negative thoughts. Attempts will be made to establish positive thinking. Attention: Recognizing the relationship between pain sensation and attention and encouraging its expression is included in the intervention. Information on distraction was given and two exercises we planned to increase the level of awareness.
