Summary

This research is a randomized controlled single-blind experimental study aiming to evaluate the effect of horticultural therapy on stress, well-being, and caregiver burden among caregivers of hemodialysis patients. The study will be conducted between April-July 2025 with caregivers of patients receiving hemodialysis treatment at Bingöl State Hospital. The sample of the study will consist of 82 caregivers, randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. After obtaining verbal and written consents from all participants, the Introductory Information Form, Perceived Stress Scale, General Well-Being Scale, and Zarit Burden Interview will be applied as pre-test. The experimental group will participate in horticultural therapy activities once a week for 12 weeks, while no intervention will be given to the control group during this period. Following the intervention, post-test measurements will be administered to both groups using the same instruments. In addition, feedback will be collected from caregivers in the experimental group regarding the research process. After the study is completed, the same intervention will also be offered to the control group to ensure ethical responsibility. Data obtained will be analyzed using SPSS 22.00 package program. Ethical principles will be observed throughout the study, ethics committee approval has been obtained, and the Helsinki Declaration of Human Rights will be adhered to. The results are planned to be presented at an international congress and published in an SCI/SSCI-indexed journal, contributing to the scientific literature.
