Brief summary
This study aims to examine the effect of narrative group counseling applied to nursing students studying at a public university on psychological resilience. The research was used parallel group, randomized, controlled experimental design. According to the power analysis results, the sample size was determined to be at least 54 people. Due to possible losses, 25% more people were included in the study and 68 students who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to the intervention (n = 34) and control group (n = 34). In the study, the assignment of students to the intervention and control groups were made by stratified randomization(gender,class). Due to the fact that nursing department courses continued all day on weekdays, limited transportation and winter conditions, students from the intervention group (n = 7) and the control group (n = 5) did not want to continue the sessions. The implementation of the research was completed with a total of 56 students, with n=27 in the intervention group and n=29 in the control group. Personal information forms and Adult Resilience Scale were used to obtain research data. The data collection process was carried out in four stages: pre-test, post-test, 3-month follow-up test and 6-month follow-up test.
Detailed description
The intervention group received eight sessions of narrative group counseling. The control group also received four session of stress management training.
Interventions
OTHERNarrative Group Counseling
Two of the principles that explain how narrative therapy works are: to always maintain a stance of curiosity on the part of the practitioner and to ask questions to which the practitioner does not actually know the answers and to which the answer is known to the participants. To guide therapeutic conversations that include these questions, Michael White and David Epston have designed a series of conversation maps in the application of narrative therapy. Taking these maps into consideration, the sessions were planned with the guidance of relevant literature and structured with expert opinions. Group counseling was applied to the intervention group once a week in 8 sessions. The intervention was completed face to face, in a calm, quiet and bright environment, with a round seating plan. One session lasted 90 minutes. Each session was completed in two parts with a 10-minute break.
OTHERstress coping interviews
In addition to the students' routine practices, four sessions of stress coping interviews will be held for the control group, with an interval of two weeks, after the information meeting.
