Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• EBA-Q — DAY 1
  The EBA-Q is an assessment tool used to measure a person's ability to perceive their own body based on exteroceptive signals and accurately evaluate changes. The 18-item questionnaire consists of four subscales: visual-tactile body awareness (7 items measuring the sensitivity to assessing whether the body can pass through narrow passages or under low ceilings, and the sensitivity to detecting other people's touch, insects, sweat, and puddles); spatial coordination (4 items measuring the level of spatial awareness when interacting with objects in space, such as bumping into people and furniture); awareness of body changes (4 items asking about weight changes, the appearance of scars and moles, and tanning); and awareness of clothing fit (3 items measuring the relationship between clothing, belts, shoes, and body size). It is evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale (1=not at all appropriate, 5=very appropriate).High scores indicate high awareness.
• SAS — DAY 1
  The Turkish validity and reliability study of the two subscales (SSI, SSI) that we will use in our study, which consist of 3 subcategories (private self-awareness=SSA, social self-awareness=SSA, and social anxiety) and a total of 22 questions, was conducted by Neslihan Rugancı in 1995 (13). SSI, consisting of 9 items, is an internal self-awareness structure and includes items related to individuals having a positive awareness of their emotional states that is free from subjectivity, and items related to self-reflection, items related to the individual's thinking, imagining, and evaluating themselves regarding their past, experiences, value judgments, and behaviors. SSI, consisting of 7 items, includes items related to the individual's tendencies regarding their behavior patterns and their interest in a certain image they want to present to society. The scale items are evaluated with a 4-point Likert scale (1=Disagree, 4=Strongly Agree). High scores obtained high awareness
