Brief Summary

Aim: The study aims to determine the effect of the anger management program to be implemented by integrating the rhythm component of music with the Gross Process Model of Emotion Regulation on the anger expression and anger types of nursing students determined to be under risk through screenings.

Materials and Methods: This single-blind factorial designed randomized experimental research was conducted with three control groups. The study group consisted of third-grade students (N=67) who were determined to have scores above average from The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). The study data were collected with pre-post tests and follow-up measurements using STAXI. The experimental interventions were completed in five sessions after pilot study with a specialist. The data were analyzed using one-way and two-way variance analyses (4x3 Factorial ANOVA). Effect size was measured with ε\^2.

Detailed Description

Introduction: Nursing students' anger regulation functionally has increasingly gained importance. It is known that cognitive behavioral approaches and music can be used as effective tools for young adults. It is important that the rhythm component of music be integrated with the Gross Model of Emotion Regulation, which analyzes the emotional regulation processes on a cognitive-behavioral basis, and new interventional tools be developed, which can be regularly and easily accessed in psychiatric nursing. The study results will shed light on future studies in terms of using the Gross Model, integrated in musical rhythm studies, to manage functional anger in student nurses.

Aim: The study aims to determine the effect of the anger management program to be implemented by integrating the rhythm component of music with the Gross Model of Emotion Regulation on the anger expression and anger types of nursing students determined to be under risk through screenings.

Materials and Methods: This single-blind factorial designed randomized experimental research was conducted with three control groups. The study group consisted of third-grade students (N=67) who were enrolled in Ege University Faculty of Nursing and determined to have scores above average from The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI). The study data were collected from 38 students who met the inclusion criteria. They were collected with pre-post tests and follow-up measurements using STAXI and introductory information form developed in light of the literature. The Gross Model of Emotion Regulation intervention program, integrated with musical rhythms, was completed in five sessions after pilot study. The sessions in the musical rhythms were carried out in company with a specialist. The data were analyzed using one-way and two-way variance analyses (4x3 Factorial ANOVA). The statistical significance level was measured with p˂0.05, and effect size was measured with ε\^2. Ethical permissions were obtained to conduct the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Anger State and Anger Expressions (first evaluation with posttest)Through study completion, an average of 4 months

Anger state and expressions were evaluated with using The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory. This scale originally organized by Charles D. Spielberger in 1988. The scale, which evaluated trait anger (10 items) and state anger behavior (24 items), was adapted to Turk society by Özer N. in 1992. This tool was used to diagnose anger severity and behavioral reactions of anger in many national studies in child, adolescent and adult groups. Scale's Trait Anger dimension (anger expressions) were separated in three subscales as 'anger out', 'anger in' and 'anger control' which each includes eight items (subscale total score min:8, max:32). State Anger subscale has 10 items and total score range is between 10-40 points.

Anger State and Anger Expressions (second evaluation with follow up)Through study completion, an average of 7 months

Anger state and expressions were evaluated with using The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory.
