The aim of this study is to manage individual psychoeducation in acceptance and commitment therapy for problems with panic disorder and to evaluate the effect of this program on rumination and self-resilience.
Panic disorder; palpitations, sweating, tachycardia, fear of death, depersonalization, derealization, fear of going crazy, etc. It is a psychiatric disorder with symptoms. The most commonly used psychotherapy method for panic disorder patients is cognitive behavioral therapies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a psychotherapy method originating from cognitive behavioral therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps individuals act in the direction of their values by allowing them to contact their painful experiences rather than trying to escape or try to get rid of their difficult experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports psychological well-being by providing psychological flexibility in the person. Rumination is mental rumination, which is used to keep thoughts spinning in the mind repetitively after an event.Self-compassion is a concept used to mean understanding oneself despite one's mistakes. This study aims to create psychoeducation based on acceptance and commitment therapy for patients with panic disorder and to evaluate the effect of this program on rumination and self-compassion. Psychoeducation, an evidence-based practice, is very important for the nursing profession. Although nurses have a significant impact on psychoeducational practices, this role is ignored and not implemented adequately. In addition, since there is no research examining the concepts of rumination and self-compassion together in people with panic disorder, it is thought that our study will be useful in new research.

Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire
The scale is a 7-point Likert type consisting of 20 items. 7 = Very good and 1 = Not at all, and participants are asked to score each item according to how much it reflects themselves. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value, was found to be .907. In the item analysis, the item total score correlation was calculated and the total correlations of the items were found to be between 0.474 and 0.699.
Time frame: 7 week
Self Compassion Scale
The original Self-Compassion Scale consists of 6 subscales containing 26 items. The scale is a 5-point Likert type and those who answer "almost never = 1 and almost always = 5" are asked to rate how often they move. The Turkish form of the self-compassion scale, unlike the original, consists of 24 items because the scale shows a unidimensional structure and at the same time, 2 items with item-total correlations below 30 were removed from the scale. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was calculated as .89 and the test-retest correlation was calculated as .83.
Time frame: 7 week
Ran from Jun 2026 to primary completion in Aug 2026, 2 months.
Of 87 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Panic Disorder, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 63. This study's 2 months is below that.
