The Effect of a Psychiatric Nursing Approach Based on the Tidal Model on Psychological Resilience and Self-Compassion Levels in Patients Diagnosed With Anxiety Disorder

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an online psychiatric nursing approach based on the Tidal Model philosophy on the psychological resilience and self-compassion levels of individuals diagnosed with anxiety disorder. The study is designed as a randomized controlled doctoral dissertation. The sample consists of individuals who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital in Ankara, were diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and met the inclusion criteria. Participants were assigned to either the intervention or control group using a computer-generated randomization method. While the control group received only routine clinical follow-ups without any additional intervention, the intervention group participated in 8 sessions of individual online nursing interventions structured according to Tidal Model principles. Data were collected using an Socio-demographic Information Form, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale, administered online to both groups before and after the intervention.
