It was found statistically significant that the value obtained in the second measurement was lower than the value obtained in the first measurement insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. It was determined that NLP application significantly decreased all parameters of depression, anxiety, and stress insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. In the control group, the mean score of DASS-21 was determined as 51.05 ± 7.53 in the first measurement and 52.57 ± 7.92 in the second measurement.
