简要总结
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)-based structured program on hope, problem-solving skills, and life satisfaction among students attending a university vocational school. Fifty eligible students from two campuses of a state university will be randomized to an intervention group (n=25) or a control group (n=25). The intervention group will receive a structured SFBT-based program delivered face-to-face, while the control group will continue usual conditions during the study period. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. The primary analyses will compare changes in outcome scores over time between groups.
详细描述
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) delivered to associate degree students on hope, problem-solving skills, and life satisfaction.
Design: This is a parallel-group randomized controlled experimental study. Setting: The study will be conducted at a state university vocational school located on two separate campuses.
Participants and sample size: The planned sample size is 50 university students, with approximately 25 participants in the intervention group and 25 in the control group.
Intervention: The intervention group will receive a structured, face-to-face SFBT-based brief program focusing on goal setting, identifying exceptions, scaling questions, and strengthening personal resources and small-step planning.
Control: The control group will continue usual conditions and will not receive the SFBT program during the study period.

盲法说明
Due to the nature of the intervention, participants and the researcher administering the intervention were aware of their group assignments; since the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy sessions to be applied to the experimental group were conducted by the researcher, participant/practitioner blinding could not be ensured, however, the analysis phase was blinded.

研究组 & 干预措施
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Participants received face-to-face Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) delivered once weekly for 6 weeks (6 sessions). Sessions were structured according to the core principles and techniques of the solution-focused approach.
干预措施: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) (Behavioral)
Control (Wait-list)
Participants received no structured intervention during the 6-week study period and completed assessments on the same schedule as the intervention group. After completion of post-intervention and 1-month follow-up assessments, the control group was offered two face-to-face SFBT sessions.
结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline in hope (Continuous Hope Scale [Sürekli Umut Ölçeği, SUÖ] total score)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test), Week 6 (post-test), and 1-month follow-up.
Hope will be assessed using the Continuous Hope Scale (Sürekli Umut Ölçeği, SUÖ) total score. The scale includes 12 items (with 4 filler items not scored), and the total score is derived from the scored items on an 8-point Likert-type response format. Total score range: 8 to 64. Higher scores indicate higher hope (better outcome).
次要结局
- Outcome Measure title (Secondary Outcome): Change from baseline in problem-solving (Problem Solving Inventory [PSI] total score)(Baseline (pre-test), Week 6 (post-test), and 1-month follow-up.)
- Change from baseline in life satisfaction (Satisfaction With Life Scale [SWLS] / Turkish version [Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği, YDÖ] total score)(Baseline (pre-test), Week 6 (post-test), and 1-month follow-up.)
