Anger expression and its control among youth is a major concern for the health professionals. There is dearth of intervention-based study in Indian context. The present work aims to evolve an intervention module for management of anger among youth in India.
The present module has been validated on 100 individuals with inclusion criteria of age from 18 to 25 years and the individuals with dependence on psychoactive drugs and refusal to participate were excluded from the study. The Anger data sheet, Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, and State Trait Anger Expression Inventory were administered at baseline as well as at 1-month interval after 6 sessions of intervention. The 82 participants completed postassessment and 18 participants were dropouts of the follow-up sessions.
Pre-post cognitive therapy based anger management intervention program showed the difference in the domains of resilience; clinical anger, state and trait anger and anger control in.
The study implies the need for community-based sensitization for issues related to anger expression and facilitation of approaches to promote adaptive anger control among youth.
青少年的愤怒表达及其控制是健康专业人员主要关注的问题。在印度背景下,缺乏基于干预的研究。目前的工作旨在开发一个针对印度青少年愤怒管理的干预模块。
本模块已在100名年龄在18至25岁之间的个体上进行了验证,依赖精神活性药物的个体和拒绝参与的个体被排除在研究之外。在基线以及6次干预后的1个月间隔时,使用愤怒数据表、布斯-佩里攻击性问卷和状态-特质愤怒表达量表进行评估。82名参与者完成了后测,18名参与者退出了后续 sessions。
基于认知疗法的愤怒管理干预前后项目在复原力领域;临床愤怒、状态和特质愤怒以及愤怒控制方面显示出差异。
该研究表明需要针对与愤怒表达相关的问题进行社区宣传,并促进在青少年中促进适应性愤怒控制的方法。
