The Effectiveness of Compassion and Emotion-focused Therapy on Self-harming Behaviors and Interpersonal Needs in Female Adolescents with Suicidal Ideation
Background and Aim: Self-harm is one of the psycho-social problems that is very common in adolescence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the The Effectiveness of Compassion and Emotion-focused Therapy on Self-harming Behaviors and Interpersonal Needs in Female Adolescents with Suicidal Ideation. Method: This quasi-experimental study was a pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all female high school students in Tehran in the academic year 2021-2022. From area 2, 45 people were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Emotional therapy and compassion-based therapy were performed in 8 sessions of 60 minutes in experimental groups 1 and 2, respectively. The control group did not receive any training. Data were collected using the Sanson Self-Injury Questionnaire (1998), the Beck Suicide Thought Scale (1979) and the interpersonal needs questionnaire of Van Arden et al. (2012) and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results showed that the experimental groups in the post-test stage had a significant decrease in terms of perception of overload, neutrality, self-harming behaviors and suicidal ideation (P<0.05). Emotional therapy was more effective than compassionate therapy in reducing the perception of overload, belonging, neutrality, self-harming behaviors, and compassionate therapy was more effective in reducing suicidal ideation. Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be said that using both interventions can reduce the feeling of belonging, neutrality, suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors in adolescent girls by affecting the perception of overload.
