Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focused on anger management on suicidal thoughts in male students in the first grade of secondary school in Chabahar County. Methodology: The present study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test framework. The statistical population of the study comprised all male students in the first grade of secondary school in Chabahar County during the 2022-2023 academic year. A sample of 30 male students who scored higher on the Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (2004) was randomly selected and then divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group (15 students each). The experimental group received ten sessions of mindfulness-based CBT focused on anger management, while the control group received no intervention. The Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale (2004) was used to collect data, and the data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS 22 software. Findings: The results of the present study showed a significant difference in the mean scores of suicidal thoughts between the experimental group and the control group in the post-test stage (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest that mindfulness-based CBT focused on anger management can be effective in reducing suicidal thoughts among students.
