Guided Imagery Practice

Before the guided imagery application, the language translation of the guided imagery usage steps guide prepared by Owen (2010)27 was done by a translation center in a certified manner. Then, a relaxing, soothing, soft and slow-paced CD consisting of mixed nature sounds, photographs and music lasting 15 minutes and 50 seconds was prepared in the sound recording studio with the psychological counselor. Data collection forms were filled in by the researcher using face-to-face interview technique for the women who agreed to participate in the study. The guided imagery video was shared with the women and they were made to watch it once a day for 12 weeks in a quiet, calm, uncrowded, dimly lit room in their homes. The women in the control group did not receive any interventions other than routine interventions during outpatient follow-up.
