Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of mindfulness-based art therapy on the difficulties in emotional regulation, burnout, and psychological resilience levels of nurses working in the earthquake-affected region. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does MBAT reduce the burnout levels of nurses working in the earthquake-affected region? Does MBAT reduce the emotional regulation difficulties of nurses working in the earthquake-affected region? Does MBAT increase the psychological resilience levels of nurses working in the earthquake-affected region? Researchers plan to compare the intervention group where MBAT is applied and the control group where no intervention is applied to see the effects of MBAT on nurses.

Participants :

The intervention group will receive MBAT once a week for 5 weeks. The control group will receive MBAT again after the application is completed, if they are willing.

Follow-up tests will be administered before the intervention, after it is completed, and at the 3rd and 6th months."\*\*
