Abstract: (2013 Views) |
Background and aims: Due to the prevalence and consequences of self-harming behaviors among teenagers, therapeutic interventions are necessary; therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of emotion regulation group training on feeling of shame and coping strategies of self-harming teenagers.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test study with a control group, among the 13-15 year-old female teenagers of Shiraz city (region 2) in years of 2020-2021, 30 people were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=15). They responded to the Simonds’s Adolescent Shame-Proneness Scale and adolescent coping scale (by Frydenberg & Lewis). The experimental group received Gratz’s emotion regulation group therapy, but the control group did not receive any training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Results: Generally, the results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the level of shame and coping strategies (p<0.0001). the emotion regulation group training reduced the components of shame (negative self- evaluation and emotional discomfort). It also increased productive coping strategies and decreased non-productive coping strategies (p<0.0001). It should be noted that in terms of the externalization component and coping strategies of referring to others, there was no significant difference between the two groups.
Conclusion: Based on our results, in order to improve the psychological condition of self-harming teenagers, therapists, counselors, and psychologists can use the emotion regulation group training along with other treatment methods.
