简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a positive psychotherapy-based psychoeducation program on nurses' ability to maintain balance in different areas of life and their overall life satisfaction. The program includes structured sessions designed to help nurses manage stress, improve well-being, and strengthen coping skills. Nurses who participate may benefit from improved emotional balance and quality of life. The results of this study may help develop supportive interventions for nurses in clinical settings.
详细描述
This randomized controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a positive psychotherapy-based "Balance in Life" psychoeducation program developed for nurses. Considering that nurses often experience difficulties in maintaining balance across different life domains due to high workload, stress, and emotional demands, and that this negatively affects their life satisfaction, a structured psychosocial intervention was considered necessary.
The intervention program was based on the balance model of positive psychotherapy. Within this framework, life was conceptualized across key domains including body/health, achievement/work, relationships, and meaning/future, and achieving balance among these domains was targeted. Throughout the program, it was aimed to increase participants' awareness of these life areas, strengthen coping skills, and support a more balanced lifestyle. The psychoeducation program was delivered through structured sessions and included interactive methods.
Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. While the intervention group received the psychoeducation program, no structured intervention was applied to the control group during the study period. Data were collected before and after the intervention, and changes in balanced life skills and life satisfaction were evaluated.
The findings were considered to contribute to the development of interventions aimed at supporting nurses' psychosocial well-being and to provide guidance for integrating positive psychotherapy approaches into nursing practice and education.
