The effect of positive psychotherapy education on subjective wellbeing among nursing students

Abstract

Purpose This study was conducted to determine the effect of psychoeducation of the positive psychotherapy (PPT)‐based balance model applied to university students on spirituality index levels of their subjective well‐being. Design and Method The research was conducted as a quasi‐experimental study with a one‐group pretest–posttest design. The population of this study was composed of undergraduate students of a university and the sample was composed of the students taking Intern Practice Course of Psychiatric Nursing. In the study, the data were collected using a Personal Information Form and Spirituality Index of Well‐being. Findings Frequency, percentage, Shapiro–Wilk test, and Wilcoxon Signed‐Ranks tests were used to assess the data of the study. As a result of the statistical analysis, the students obtained significant results in the total score of Spirituality Index of Well‐Being and the subscales of “Self‐Efficacy” and “Life Schemes” (p < 0.05). Conclusion PPT‐based balance model education increases the subjective well‐being levels of the students significantly. Practice Implications PPT has a positive effect on the subjective well‐being levels of individuals with spirituality index, this method should be used more in clinical studies with healthy or sick people.

“…They had greater and deeper understanding in the self-exploration and self-awareness which thus had follow-up effects on in children’s well-being. This also corresponds to the results of some relevant studies in the past on career and self-exploration (Güleç Keskin & Gülirmak, 2022; Sharma et al, 2023) [ 12 ] [ 33 ]. Genearlly speaking, the concept of positive psychotherapy could be useful to promote students’ development on spirituality level of subjective well being.…”

“…This was to reduce the impact of the differences on the pretest, and then we carried out analysis of covariance to compare the differences between the experimental and control groups in the pretests and posttests for and of the SCAS and subscales and reduced the impact of the pretests. The test score of homogeneity of within-group regression coefficient of the experimental and control groups on the posttest for the SCAS scale and subscales, (F [ 1 , 12 ] = 3.19, 0.36, 0.02, 0.14, 0.00, 0.12, 0.00, p > .05), did not reach a significant level, indicating that the slopes in the posttest of the experimental and control groups for the SCAS scale and subscales were the same. The result was consistent with the assumption of homogeneity of regression coefficient, and then we preceded to conduct analysis of covariance.…”

“…The test of homogeneity of within-group regression coefficient reported that the scores of the experimental and control groups in the posttest on the PWBS scale and subscales, (F [ 1 , 12 ] = 0.11, 0.97, 0.87, 0.40, 0.57, 0.35, 0.07, p > .05), did not reach a significant level, indicating that the slopes in the posttest of the experimental and control groups for the PWBS scale and subscales were the same. The result was consistent with the assumption of homogeneity of regression coefficient, and then we preceded to conduct analysis of covariance to compare the difference between the experimental and control groups in the pretest and posttest on the PWBS scale and subscales.…”

“…Therefore, a stable cognitive emotion experience is developed to enhance one’s psychological well-being, individuals may like themselves more, establish a warm and trustworthy relationship with others, actively manage environment resources, and have a specific goal to obtain for self-growth and realization. In recent years, Güleç Keskin and Gülirmak (2022) [ 12 ] also found that the effect of psychoeducation of the positive psychotherapy based balance model could be applied to students on spirituality level of subjective well being.…”
