Orphans and vulnerable children fall under the category of children who are at risk of exposure to more stressful circumstances and receive less social assistance compared to other children. This study aims to investigate the impact of group counseling based on social intervention and psychological therapy (SSGPC) on social support and the perceived stress growth of orphans and vulnerable children. In one special educational needs school in Nanning, China, the SSGPC was developed and implemented. Using the social support and post-stress growth scales, the researchers investigated the effects of SSGPC on orphans and vulnerable children. Twenty-seven orphans and vulnerable children between the ages of nine and 12 were arbitrarily assigned to the experimental and control groups. A pre-test post-test method of quasi-experimental design was applied, with 13 participants in the experimental group and 14 in the control group. The results revealed that the intervention group had significantly higher scores for social support and post-stress growth than the control group. The SSGPC had significantly improved the levels of social support for orphans. The findings indicated that the SSGPC provided an effective way to improve social support and post-stress growth of orphans and vulnerable children.
孤儿和弱势儿童属于面临更多压力环境风险且相比其他儿童获得社会援助较少的儿童类别。本研究旨在调查基于社会干预和心理治疗的团体辅导（SSGPC）对孤儿和弱势儿童社会支持及感知压力成长的影响。在中国南宁的一所特殊教育需求学校，开发并实施了SSGPC。研究人员使用社会支持和压力后成长量表，调查了SSGPC对孤儿和弱势儿童的影响。将27名9至12岁的孤儿和弱势儿童随机分配到实验组和对照组。采用准实验设计的前测后测方法，实验组有13名参与者，对照组有14名参与者。结果显示，干预组的社会支持和压力后成长得分显著高于对照组。SSGPC显著提高了孤儿的社会支持水平。研究结果表明，SSGPC为提高孤儿和弱势儿童的社会支持及压力后成长提供了一种有效方法。
