The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) on resilience in old people with "empty nest syndrome."
Three older adults with empty nest syndrome underwent CBT for 8 weeks in a single-case experimental design. Changes in resilience were tracked through measurements at baseline, intervention, and follow-up. Visual analysis as well as an effect size index of Percentage of Nonoverlapping Data (PND) were then analyzed.
CBT resulted in a significant increase in psychological resilience for all three participants across the intervention phase. Follow-up data showed that all subjects were able to maintain their resiliency four weeks after the intervention.
This single-case experimental study supports the hypothesis that CBT improves resiliency in old people with empty nest syndrome.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy is effective in increasing resiliency in old people with empty nest syndrome. The culture dynamics is an important component in the emergence and persistence of empty nest syndrome.
本研究旨在探讨认知行为疗法（CBT）对患有“空巢综合征”老年人心理弹性的影响。
采用单病例实验设计，对三名患有空巢综合征的老年人进行为期8周的认知行为疗法治疗。通过在基线、干预和随访阶段的测量来跟踪心理弹性的变化。然后进行视觉分析以及非重叠数据百分比（PND）效应量指标分析。
在整个干预阶段，认知行为疗法使所有三名参与者的心理弹性显著提高。随访数据显示，所有受试者在干预四周后都能够保持其心理弹性。
这项单病例实验研究支持认知行为疗法可提高患有空巢综合征老年人心理弹性的假设。
认知行为疗法在提高患有空巢综合征老年人的心理弹性方面是有效的。文化动态是空巢综合征产生和持续存在的一个重要因素。
