Summary

Cancer is still the second leading cause of death worldwide with approximately 9.6 million deaths per year. Gynecological cancers, which are the most common type of cancer among women, significantly affect the quality of life by disrupting the functions of the reproductive system of women. Endometrial cancer has an important place due to its prevalence in our country and worldwide. Although stress factors related to endometrial cancer may continue after the completion of treatment, this situation has the potential to negatively affect the psychological and physiological health of women. This research is a randomized controlled trial aiming to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing applied to women who completed endometrial cancer treatment and were followed up in the outpatient clinic on post-traumatic stress symptoms and post-traumatic growth. Simple randomization method will be used in the study. The sample size to be included in the study was determined as 66 participants in total, 33 in the intervention group and 33 in the control group. In the study, the effectiveness of motivational interviewing technique application in women with endometrial cancer will be evaluated based on evidence using Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5, Post-Traumatic Growth Scale and Ways of Coping Scale. Research data will be collected from women who meet the inclusion criteria at Akdeniz University Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between January 2 and August 31, 2025. The motivational interviews planned to be implemented as an intervention method in the research aim to reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms, develop coping strategies and increase the level of post-traumatic growth in women with endometrial cancer.
