Data will be collected before and after the program using a sociodemographic form, the Voltan-Acar Self-Determination Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Emotion Expression Scale, and an Assertiveness Skills Form. The primary aim is to measure changes in assertiveness and related communication skills after the intervention.
