Abstract (1385 Views)
Aims: This quasi-experimental study examined the efficacy of an emotion regulation-based educational intervention in enhancing psychological resilience among spouses of veterans hospitalized at Ebne Sina Psychiatric Hospital.
Materials & Methods: Forty participants were randomly assigned to experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The experimental group underwent eight 90-minute emotion regulation training sessions twice weekly, incorporating Gross’s and Lazarus’s models, while controls received no intervention. Psychological resilience was assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) at pre-test and Post-test. Data were analyzed via ANCOVA using SPSS 26.
Findings: Post-test resilience scores significantly increased in the experimental group (72.6±7.8) compared to controls (57.3±8.9; p<0.001). All CD-RISC subscales (tolerance of negative emotions, trust in instincts, acceptance of change, control, and spiritual influences) showed statistically significant improvements (p<0.001 for all), with large effect sizes (Cohen’s d=1.35-1.82).
Conclusion: Structured emotion regulation training effectively enhances psychological resilience in veterans’ spouses. Integrating such interventions into mental health programs for veterans’ families is recommended to mitigate caregiving-related stress.
