      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: After selecting 45 eligible individuals based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtaining informed consent, participants were randomly assigned to three groups using a 1:1:1 allocation ratio, including a semantic therapy group based on Rumi's thoughts, a mindfulness-based stress reduction group, and a control group (15 people in each group). For this purpose, equal numbers of identically shaped and sized sheets containing the names of the three groups were prepared and placed in an opaque container. Each participant randomly selected a sheet and was assigned to one of the three groups based on the group written on the sheet. This process continued until 15 people were included in each group.</study_design>
