Bilişsel Davranışçı Yaklaşım Temelli Psiko-eğitim Programının Anneler Üzerindeki Etkililiğinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, bilişsel davranışçı yaklaşıma (BDY) dayalı psiko-eğitim programının kadın danışma merkezine başvuran annelerin problem çözme ve iletişim becerilerine, evlilik doyum ve iyi oluş düzeylerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma, Bornova Belediyesi Kadın Danışma Merkezi’ne aile içindeki sorunlarla başa çıkamama nedeniyle psikolojik yardım almak için başvuran annelerle yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada, 17’si deney 1, 16’sı deney 2 ve 16’sı kontrol grubunda olmak üzere toplam 49 denekle çalışılmış olup, bu denekler deney ve kontrol gruplarına rastgele atanmıştır. Her gruba ön test olarak Problem Çözme Envanteri, İletişim Becerileri Değerlendirme Ölçeği, Evlilik Yaşam Ölçeği ve Psikolojik İyilik Hali Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Deney grubu her oturumu iki buçuk saat süren ve 16 oturumdan oluşan BDY’ye dayalı psiko-eğitim programına tabi tutulmuştur. Kontrol grubuna ise herhangi bir müdahalede bulunulmamıştır. Uygulama bitiminde her iki gruba son test olarak aynı ölçekler tekrar uygulanmıştır. Ön test, son test uygulamalarından elde edilen veriler, karışık desenlerde kullanılması uygun bir teknik olan “3×2 Karışık Desen ANOVA” tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada tüm analizler için anlamlılık düzeyi .05 olarak alınmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, BDY’ye dayalı psiko-eğitim programının annelerin problem çözme ve iletişim becerilerini, evlilik doyum ve iyi oluş düzeylerini artırdığı ortaya çıkmıştır.
