The study was designed to evaluate the effects of an emotion-focused intervention based on the Human-to-Human Relationship Model on emotion regulation skills and well-being in individuals who have undergone renal transplantation. This study was designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial with a pretest, posttest, and follow-up control group design. Based on the data obtained from the study, the impact of an emotion-focused intervention based on the Human-to-Human Relationship Model on emotion regulation skills and well-being in individuals who have undergone renal transplantation will be evaluated.

Emotion-Focused Intervention
BehavioralEmotion-Focused Intervention methods will be applied to the intervention group once a week in eight sessions, each lasting an average of 60 minutes. These sessions will begin with the first outpatient follow-up after discharge and will be administered weekly in a designated practice room at the Akdeniz University Hospital Organ Transplant Center.
Emotion Regulation Skills Scale
This self-report scale, which aims to measure emotion regulation skills in individuals, consists of a total of 27 items. It has nine subscales: awareness/attention (e.g., "I paid attention to my feelings"), body sensations (e.g., "My physical sensations were a good indicator of how I was feeling"), clarity (e.g., "I was sure of what emotions I was experiencing"), understanding (e.g., "I was aware of why I felt this way"), acceptance (e.g., "I accepted my feelings"), tolerance (e.g., "I felt able to tolerate my negative emotions"), preparedness for confrontation (e.g., "Even though it felt uncomfortable or anxious, I did what I planned"), self-support (e.g., "I supported myself in emotionally stressful situations"), and change (e.g., "I was able to influence my negative emotions"). The score of the scale is calculated based on the total score of the items, and a high score indicates high emotion regulation skills.
Well-Being Scale
The scale is a self-report measurement tool that assesses participants' perceptions of their well-being and relies on individuals to provide information about themselves. Scale items range from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). A total well-being score is obtained by summing the scores of all items. The highest possible score is 56, and the lowest is 8. Higher scores indicate a higher level of well-being.
