Abstract

This study aimed to assess the impact of a positive psychotherapy-based hope placement program on life goal setting and hope levels in individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). A Solomon Four-Group experimental design was used, involving 50 individuals diagnosed with MS who sought treatment at a university hospital's neurology outpatient clinic. Experimental (1-2) and control (1-2) groups were randomized, and pretests were administered exclusively to the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Herth Hope Scale, and the Scale for Determining Life Goals in the Context of Positive Psychotherapy. A 5-week/10-session Positive Psychotherapy-Based Hope Placement Program was conducted online for the Experimental groups. The research was conducted in the form of group therapy. Post-tests were administered to all groups upon program completion. The experimental 1-2 group exhibited statistically significant improvements in the Scale for Identifying Life Goals in the Context of Positive Psychotherapy and Herth Hope Scale scores (p < .05). The Positive Psychotherapy-Based Hope Placement Program effectively enhances hope levels and life goal setting for individuals diagnosed with MS. The results indicate that the program increased the sense of purpose in life and elevated levels of hope among MS patients. These findings suggest that positive psychotherapy-based interventions significantly improve the quality of life for MS patients. This study examines the impact of a Positive Psychotherapy-based hope placement program on determining hope and life purpose in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This research shows that HOPP (Hope Placement Program), an intervention based on Positive Psychotherapy, can significantly improve the quality of life of MS patients. These findings support the consideration of Positive Psychotherapy-based approaches as a potential therapeutic option that can positively influence the life experiences of MS patients. Therefore, this article makes an important contribution to researchers interested in using Positive Psychotherapy-based interventions in clinical practice and related research.
