Abstract: (1652 Views) |
Background: As a vulnerable social stratum, female heads of households are exposed to all kinds of psychological, social and economic harms. The present study aimed to determine the effects of resilience skills on psychological well-being and self-efficacy in female heads of households based on the Henderson and Milstein model.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study with an interrupted time-series design was conducted on 34 female heads of households presenting to local facilitation and development centers in the suburbs of Karaj, Iran, in 2020-2021. Once the eligible individuals were identified, data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire, a psychological well-being questionnaire and a resilience scale. The study variables were measured at three time points: Before, immediately after and three weeks after the intervention. On each measurement occasion, the data of each individual was compared to her own data from the other occasions. Using the resilience training program by Henderson and Milstein (1996), all the individuals were given eight 75-minute sessions. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 21.
Results: According to the results, participants’ mean age was 37.91 ± 6.81 years and their resilience score was 47.26 ± 5.05. The results of the repeated-measures test revealed the effect of the intervention on the mean scores of self-efficacy and psychological well-being over time(P<0.001). The effect of the resilience training program was 69.6% on self-efficacy and 52.6% on psychological well-being.
Conclusion: By developing emotional capabilities, promoting spirituality and creating a sense of hopefulness and optimism in life, resilience training programs can be effective in improving individuals’ psychological health and self-efficacy. |
