About this study

The study was conducted experimentally to evaluate the effect of neurolinguistic programming on COVID-19 fear in kidney transplant patients.

Read the detailed description

The study was conducted experimentally (prospective randomized single-blind clinical trial model) to evaluate the effect of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) on fear of Covid-19 in kidney transplant patients.

The study was carried out between June 2021 and October 2021. Personal Information Form and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) were used to collect data. The data obtained from the research were evaluated with SPSS 25.

According to the calculation made using G*power 3.1 software, the sample size was determined as 74 (each group 37) with an effect size of 0.80, a margin of error of 0co.05, a confidence level of 0.95, and a population representation of 0.95. Simple random sampling method, one of the probability sampling methods, was used to determine the participants. Single-group columns between 1 and 300 were created using the Random Integer Generator method, which located in the Numbers sub-heading of the random.org website for the participants who met the sample selection criteria. Participants were randomly assigned to numbers 1 and 2, considering the numbers 1 and 2 in the column. The number of the experimental or control group was determined by drawing lots at the beginning of the research

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A mean total score on the

    Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S)

    Measured: Fear of COVID-19 Scale . After applying the personal information form and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) to the patients in the experimental group, the sub-modality technique of NLP was applied once, and then FCV-19S was applied again one week later

Model description
The population of the study consisted of patients who had kidney transplants in the hospital in question. The sample of the study was determined by power analysis. According to the calculation made using G\*power 3.1 software, the sample size was determined as 74 (each group 37) with an effect size of 0.80, a margin of error of 0co.05, a confidence level of 0.95, and a population representation of 0.95. Simple random sampling method, one of the probability sampling methods, was used to determine the participants. Single-group columns between 1 and 300 were created using the Random Integer Generator method, which located in the Numbers sub-heading of the random.org website for the participants who met the sample selection criteria. Participants were randomly assigned to numbers 1 and 2, considering the numbers 1 and 2 in the column. The number of the experimental or control group was determined by drawing lots at the beginning of the research.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
