Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Intervention group

In the study, a 6-session psychoeducation programme on coping with anger was given to the intervention group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cognitive-Behavioral Approach Based Psychoeducation Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A 6 session cognitive-behavioral approach based psychoeducation program developed in line with the literature review is applied in the research.
