This study was conducted to determine the effects of a mindfulness-based self-compassion intervention and vagal nerve stimulation on heart rate variability, psychological resilience, and sleep quality in earthquake victims.
Design: "The study was designed as a randomized experimental research, where pre- and post-intervention measurements were administered to Intervention I and Intervention II groups."
Adults aged between 18 and 35,
who have been exposed to an earthquake and have relocated to Istanbul,
who are accessing psychological first aid information channels.

Mindfulness Based Self Compassion
BehavioralThe intervention has its roots in meditations and yoga practices. However, it is independent of religious purpose or affiliation.The weekly sessions include a range of mental and bodily practices, including awareness of
Heart Rate Variability
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is a measure of the slight differences in timing between successive heartbeats, often measured in milliseconds. HRV is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate.
Psychological Resilience
Psychological Resilience Scale for Adults: The scale consists of 33 items; it includes 6 sub-dimensions: The structural style (3,9,15,21) and perception of future (2,8,14,20) subdimensions were measured by 4 items each, the family cohesion (5,11,17,23,26,32), perception of self (1,7,13,19,28,31,), and social competence (4,10,16,22,25,29) subdimensions were measured by 6 items each, and the social resources (6,12,18,24,27,30,33) sub-dimension was measured by 7 items. The score that can be obtained from the scale varies from 33 to 165.
pittsburgh sleep quality index
It's a self-rated questionnaire that assesses sleep quality and disorders over a one-month period. Seven "component" scores are derived from nineteen separate items. These components include: a) subjective sleep quality, b) sleep latency, c) sleep duration, d) habitual sleep efficiency, e) sleep disorders, f) use of sleeping pills, and g) daytime dysfunction. The sum of these seven component scores yields the index score, with a total score ranging between 0 and 21. A pittsburgh sleep quality index total score of five or higher indicates poor sleep quality.
