简要总结
A randomized controlled study was conducted to investigate the effects of a cognitive-behavioral approach-based psychoeducation program on nursing students' trait anger and anger expression styles.
详细描述
Anger, which is an emotion experienced by all people, is a natural and normal reaction that can occur depending on the interaction of the person with his/her environment. However, frequent anger can damage physical and mental health and can lead to violence and aggression. Anger is interpreted according to the way it is expressed and a person can express anger in different ways (anger-in, anger-out, anger-control). While anger-in and anger-out are negative behavioral reactions, anger control is an appropriate response. One of the groups that often experiences anger is nursing students. Students studying in the department of nursing are considered as the health workforce of tomorrow and both study in stressful environments and work in stressful environments. Anger is an emotion experienced as a reaction to stress among nursing students. The inability of students who do not have anger management skills to control their anger may negatively affect their approach to patients, relatives and teammates. Since negative expression of anger can have a negative impact on interpersonal relationships with others, it may hinder the development of working alliances between nursing students and patients. Students studying in the department of nursing graduate without adequate training on how to express their anger correctly. Anger coping programs for nursing students should primarily include the assessment of anger expression styles and provide techniques for expressing anger appropriately and coping with anger. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a psychoeducation program based on the cognitive-behavioral approach on nursing students' trait anger and anger expression style. The hypothesis that there was no difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of trait anger, anger-in, anger-out and anger control after the intervention were tested.

研究组 & 干预措施

结局指标
主要结局
Trait anger and anger expression styles before intervention
时间窗: Before the 6-week intervention was administered to students
Students' trait anger and anger expression styles were assessed before the intervention. Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale was used in the evaluation. Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scale: The 4-point Likert-type scale designed (1983) has a total of 34 questions. Turkish adaptation of this scale was made (1994). Ten questions in the scale question trait anger and twenty-four questions question anger expression styles. A score between 10-40 is obtained from the trait anger scale and between 8-32 from the other sub-scales (anger-in, anger-out and anger control). High scores from trait anger indicate that the level of anger is high, high scores from the anger control scale indicate that anger can be controlled, high scores on the anger-out subscale indicate that anger can be expressed externally, and high scores from the anger-in subscale indicate that anger is suppressed.
