Abstract: (406 Views)
Background and Objectives: Adolescents who are abused and neglected face many challenges, and it is imperative to pay attention to their mental health.The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of art therapy focused on compassion on the distress tolerance of abused and neglected adolescent girls.
Materials and Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study that was conducted with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population was all abused and neglected female adolescents of Bushehr City in 2023. The sample size was 30 people selected by the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups (15 people in either group). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 90 minutes of compassion-focused art therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The instrument to gather data was Simons and Gaher's (2005) Disturbance Tolerance Scale. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Results: Art therapy focused on compassion was effective in tolerating the turmoil of abused and neglected adolescents. Eta squared showed that 18.5% of tolerance variance, 18.7% of absorption variance, 16.9% of evaluation variance, and 20.6% of adjustment variance are due to the effectiveness of art therapy focused on compassion (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Art therapy focused on compassion has been effective in increasing tolerance of emotional disturbances in abused and neglected adolescent girls. Therefore, it is recommended that this treatment be used in organizations interacting with injured people to increase the tolerance of disturbance and increase their mental health.
