      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: The research sample was selected by selecting 5 secondary school girls using cluster sampling method. Then, three classes were selected from these schools. After that, 45 students who met the inclusion criteria were selected from these students. Then, 15 students were randomly assigned to three groups: spirituality therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and control. Delavar (2016) believes that a sample size of 15 students per group is sufficient to obtain valid results in experimental and semi-experimental research.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The research sample was selected by selecting 5 secondary school girls using cluster sampling method. Then, three classes were selected from these schools. After that, 45 students who met the inclusion criteria were selected from these students. Then, 15 students were randomly assigned to three groups: spirituality therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and control. After forming the groups, the subjects were led to special rooms and given questionnaires to measure variables as a pre-test. They were assured that their answers would remain confidential. They were asked to answer the questions confidently and honestly. In the spirituality therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups in this study underwent spirituality therapy for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session per week) (Richard et al., 2007). In the mindfulness-based therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups underwent mindfulness-based therapy training sessions (Segal et al., 2002) for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session per week). After completing the treatment period, the experimental group was re-assessed using questionnaires that measured variables as a post-test and finally, one month after the post-test, they were re-assessed . Intervention 2: Control group: The research sample was selected by selecting 5 secondary school girls using cluster sampling method. Then, three classes were selected from these schools. After that, 45 students who met the inclusion criteria were selected from these students. Then, 15 students were randomly assigned to three groups: spirituality therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and control. After forming the groups, the subjects were led to special rooms and given questionnaires to measure variables as a pre-test and were assured that their answers would remain confidential. They were asked to answer the questions confidently and honestly. No intervention was performed for the control group. However, to prevent threats to the internal validity of the test, an intervention was administered to them after the end of the study. After the end of the treatment period, the control group was re-assessed with questionnaires to measure variables as a post-test and finally, after one month of the post-test, they were re-assessed.</i_freetext>

      <results_IPD_description>Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is Due to the fact that the research work is not fully prepared and the article has not been written, which is an important condition for publishing the data, and due to the busy schedule, the exact time for publishing the data is not yet known. Action will be taken as soon as possible once the time for publishing the data is determined.</results_IPD_description>

    <primary_outcome>
      <prim_outcome>The present study is an applied research in terms of its purpose and its design will be a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group and a three-month follow-up. For this purpose, a pre-test-post-test-follow-up experimental design with a control group will be used. The study was conducted with three groups (spiritual therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and control group). Before the start of the experiment, questionnaires will be administered to the participants of all three groups. Two experimental groups will undergo group therapy, and during this period, the control group will receive the same treatment. After the treatment periods are completed, a post-test will be administered, and after three months from the last treatment session, the questionnaires will be administered to the participants for the third time (follow-up phase). In the spirituality therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups in this study will undergo spirituality therapy (Richard et al., 2007) for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session per week). In the mindfulness-based therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups will undergo mindfulness-based therapy training sessions (Segal et al., 2002) for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session each week). The sessions were scheduled in the afternoons with prior coordination so as not to interfere with the students' curriculum. All sessions were conducted by two different therapists trained in the two approaches. The control group remained on the waiting list and received a training session after the study was completed to comply with ethical principles. Timepoint: In the spirituality therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups in this study will undergo spirituality therapy for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session per week) (Richard et al., 2007). In the mindfulness-based therapy protocol, individuals in one of the experimental groups will undergo mindfulness-based therapy training sessions for 8 sessions (one 90-minute session per week) (Segal et al., 2002). Method of measurement: The research tools will include: the Meaning of Life Questionnaire by Steger et al. (2006), the Basic Psychological Needs Questionnaire (BSNQ) by Gardy et al. (2000), and the Glock and Stark Religious Beliefs Questionnaire (1965).</prim_outcome>
