简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effect of a psychodrama group intervention on mental health promotion among nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received weekly psychodrama sessions for 12 weeks, while the control group prepared group presentations on the same themes without psychodrama techniques. Mental health promotion levels were assessed before and after the intervention using a validated scale.
详细描述
This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial conducted among nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group participated in a psychodrama group intervention consisting of 12 weekly sessions, each lasting approximately 120-150 minutes. Sessions were facilitated by a trained psychodramatist and followed the classical psychodrama structure, including warm-up, action, and sharing phases.
The control group participated in weekly group presentations and discussions on the same themes as the intervention group but did not receive any psychodrama techniques. Mental health promotion levels were assessed before and after the intervention using the validated Mental Health Promotion Scale.

研究组 & 干预措施
Presentation Group
Participants in this group participated in weekly group sessions conducted concurrently with the intervention group for 12 weeks. Students prepared and delivered group presentations on topics aligned with the themes addressed in the psychodrama sessions. Presentations were shared in a classroom setting and followed by moderated group discussions. No psychodrama techniques, role-playing, or dramatic enactments were used.
干预措施: Presentation Group (Behavioral)
Psychodrama Group
Participants in this group received a structured psychodrama-based group intervention conducted once weekly for 12 weeks. The program was organized around thematic sessions including communication skills, self-awareness, self-esteem, personal development, values, family and close relationships, peer relationships, stress coping, anger management, assertiveness, sexuality, and physical well-being. Sessions involved experiential psychodramatic techniques such as role-playing, group games, and guided enactments aimed at enhancing emotional expression, interpersonal awareness, coping skills, and mental health promotion.
