| dc.description.abstract | This study examined whether Solution-Focused Brief Group Counseling (SFBGC) is effective in addressing psychological problems of sexually abused children in Godanaw Rehabilitation Integrated Project. Fifty participants aged 12-18 year old selected purposefully based on inclusion criteria who randomly assigned into the control and treatment group, each with 25 participants. The research design was a non-equivalent control group pretest and posttest of a quasi-experimental design. Three standardized scales, namely, the Children Depression Inventory, the Child Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used to measure the dependent variables at two occasions: pretest and posttest. Participants in the treatment group received SFBGC for three weeks, three days per week, 1:00-1:20 hours per session for a total of 8 sessions. Results of dependent t-test indicated that, after treatment, participants engaged in treatment group showed statistically significant reduction in the level of depression (4ffl24 , t$2.186, p'$0.05) and significant improvement in self-esteem (d.ftf24, t!5-2.623, P50.05) compared to the control group. Independent t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment and control group in posttraumatic stress symptoms during the pre-test (dJ548 , tFO.183, pj§O.05) and during the post-test (d.r~48, tFO.199, P50.05) respectively. From these results it was suggested that the application of SFBGC has to be expanded to address psychological problems of sexually abused children in more other organizations or settings. | en_US |
