Abstract
Introduction: Social-emotional competence is an effective factor in reducing suicidal thoughts. Despite the implementation of various interventions to reduce suicidal thoughts, there is still a research gap in the field of comparing the effect of cognitive-behavioral interventions, self-compassion, and positivity based on religious teachings on the social-emotional competence of female students with suicidal thoughts. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy, self-compassion, and positive thinking based on religious teachings on social-emotional competence among female students with suicidal thoughts
Methods: The current study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design with a control group. The population consisted of all female high school students in Khorramabad during the academic year 2023-2024. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used. The data collection tool in this study was the suicidal ideation questionnaire (Beck et al., 1979) and the social-emotional competence scale of Zhou and Jie (2012). The experimental groups received respectively: cognitive-behavioral therapy (Brian & Rad, 2018) for 10 sessions, self-compassion training (Pol Gilbert, 2000) for 8 sessions, and positivity based on religious teachings (Farnam & Hamidi, 2016) for 8 sessions, while the control group received no intervention. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by single and multivariate covariance analysis using SPSS-25 software.
Results: The results showed that all three trainings had a significant effect on the components of social-emotional competence (p<0.001) and there was a significant difference between the control group and the three training methods in the components of "social-emotional competence". It is observed (p>0.001). The results of the follow-up test showed that "cognitive-behavioral group training" was more effective than other interventions on the components (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of the research showed that cognitive behavioral education is a more effective intervention for improving the social-emotional competence of female students to reduce suicidal thoughts.
