Abstract
Background & Objective: According to research, it appears that the prevalence of suicide in Iran among adolescents, especially adolescent girls, is relatively high, and among suicide methods, chemical poisoning is also common. In addition, adolescents who attempt suicide also suffer from many social and psychological problems. Poor emotional self-disclosure and low social self-efficacy are among the problems of this group. Due to the importance of emotional self-disclosure and social self-efficacy, many approaches and interventions have been developed to increase the levels of these psychological variables. Two of these interventions are cognitive behavioral therapy and self-determination training. Accordingly, the present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy with self-determination training on emotional self-disclosure and social self-efficacy in adolescent girls who attempted chemical suicide.
Methods: The present study was a semi-experimental research method with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all adolescents girls who attempted chemical suicide and were admitted to the Poisoning Emergency of the Nomadic Martyrs Training and Treatment Center in Khorramabad city in 2024. Using purposive sampling, 45 eligible volunteers were included in the study. These people were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The first experimental group received Frey's (1999) cognitive behavioral therapy, and the second experimental group received Field and Hoffman's (1994) Steps to Self-Determination training package. At the beginning of the study, subjects in all three groups completed the Smith and Betz (2000) Social Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and the Snell et al. (1988) Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale, and after the end of the interventions, they completed both questionnaires again. To examine the research aim, univariate analysis of covariance and post hoc test were used. Data were analyzed at a significance level of 0.05 using SPSS software version 28.
Results: The results showed that both cognitive behavioral therapy and self-determination training had a significant effect on increasing emotional self-disclosure (Eta=0.506, p<0.001) and social self-efficacy (Eta=0.671, p<0.001) in adolescent girls who attempted chemical suicide. However, it seems that cognitive behavioral therapy had a greater effect on increasing emotional self-disclosure (p<0.001), and self-determination training was also more effective in increasing social self-efficacy (p<0.001).
Conclusion: In general, it can be concluded that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective and beneficial in increasing emotional self-disclosure in adolescent girls who attempt chemical suicide, and self-determination training is more effective and beneficial in improving the social self-efficacy of these adolescents.
