Introduction: Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is one of the approaches used to change problematic emotions and behaviors caused by painful experiences. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of TF-CBT on active coping style and life expectancy in 9-12-year-old orphan girl children.
Method: The research method was carried out in a semi-experimental way with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up plan with a control group. The statistical population of the study included orphan children and girls living in the boarding centers of Isfahan City. To carry out the research, 40 people who were willing to participate in the project were selected through a public call in the welfare boarding center. Then they were randomly assigned to two experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. Hernandez's coping behavior questionnaires (2008) and Schneider's children life expectancy questionnaires (1995) were administered as a pre-test, and then the experimental group underwent 10 sessions (one 45-minute session per week) of TF-CBT of Feder et al. (2010) and after the completion of the post-test treatment and after 45 days of follow-up, it was performed for both groups.
Result: Repeated analysis measurement of variance test was used in SPSS-23 software to analyze the results. The results showed that TF-CBT had a significant effect on increasing active coping style and life expectancy of the participants (p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of the research TF-CBT can be used as one of the new approaches to increase the life expectancy of orphan girls with relatively stable effects, to increase coping style in welfare centers. |
