The effects of psycho-education program based on logotherapy for the development of a healthy sense of identity in emerging adulthoods

This study aims to examine the effects of a psychoeducation program developed on the basis of logotherapy, for the development of a healthy sense of identity among emerging adulthoods. The Solomon Four-Group Design was used in the study. There were two experimental groups and two control groups, each of which consisted of 16 members. The experimental groups participated in 11 sessions of the logotherapy-focused psychoeducational program. Titles of the sessions were identity and meaning, life and meaning, roles in our life, responsibilities and meaning, family and meaning, logo-autobiography, suffering and meaning, values and meaning, authentic goals, and evaluation and termination. The control groups, on the other hand, received no specific intervention (the “education as normal” groups). The Self Perceived Identity Scale developed by Ersanli and Şanli (2015) was used as the main data collection instrument. In accordance with the Solomon Four-Group Design, only one experimental and one control group took a pre-test; the remaining groups did not take such a test. However, all groups took a post-test. Follow-up was conducted with all four groups 3 months after the sessions ended. Statistical analyses revealed that negative identity perception levels of the experimental groups significantly decreased, while their positive identity perception levels increased meaningfully. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the control groups. Thus, it can be concluded that logotherapy-focused psychoeducational programs may be effective in decreasing negative identity perceptions and increasing positive identity perceptions. In other words, logotherapy-focused psychoeducational programs can help individuals in late emerging adulthood to develop a healthy perception of their identity. Finally, the findings were discussed in light of the relevant literature and suggestions were presented for their practical application.

Effects of psychoeducation on the mental health and relationships of pregnant couples: A systemic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundPrevious studies suggest that psychoeducational interventions for pregnant and postpartum couples can improve perinatal mental health outcomes and promote couples’ relationships. However, most studies conducted to date have focused only on maternal depression, with few studies addressing the needs of fathers, or the effects of paternal participation on the mental health/relationship of both partners. ObjectivesThis study aimed to systematically examine the effects of perinatal couples’ psychoeducation on parental mental health and their relationship. DesignA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Data sourcesSix electronic databases were searched, including Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PubMed. Review methodsThe authors independently extracted data from journals written in English or Korean, published between January 2000 and August 2017. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported psycho-emotional symptoms and couples’ relationship outcomes were screened. Of the 11 studies that systematically reviewed couples’ mental health and relationship problems, seven RCTs, with data available to pool for quantitative analysis, were reviewed. The total number of participants from all studies was 7119, and the number of participant couples ranged from 15 to 869. ResultsPsychoeducational interventions had a small effect size in promoting maternal mental health (SMD = −0.307; 95% CI: −0.47 to −0.14). However, there was evidence of heterogeneity for the overall outcome, with I2 of 16% and p = .27. Paternal mental health also improved, but with a small effect size (SMD = −0.296; 95% CI: −0.53 to −0.05). The pooled results of four studies showed that interventions had very small effect sizes for improving maternal perception of the couple's relationship (SMD = 0.125; 95% CI: −0.05 to 0.30). There was evidence of heterogeneity for the overall outcome, with I2 of 7% and p = .36. Psychoeducational interventions with fathers showed a medium effect size for improving paternal perception of the couple's relationship (SMD = 0.348; 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.52); heterogeneity was I2 of 0% and p = .68. ConclusionThis study was meaningful as it revealed evidence from published trials regarding the effectiveness of psychoeducational programs that target both pregnant women and their partners. Results indicate that psychoeducational interventions can reduce maternal postpartum depression and ameliorate paternal negative affect, as well as provide overall improvement in the couples’ relationship satisfaction. However, further studies on physiological indicators and/or clinical symptoms of postpartum depression are needed to better understand the practical significance of psychoeducational intervention.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an interpersonal communication skills psycho-education program to improve empathy and communication skills of visually impaired adolescents. Participants of the study were sixteen early adolescents schooling in an elementary school for visually impaired youth in Diyarbakir. The study has a factorial design having two groups (treatment and control] and three measures (pre-test, post-test and follow-up test). Empathy levels of the participants were measured by Κ?-Si Empathie Tendency Scale for Children and Adolescents, and communication skills were measured by Communication Skills Evaluation Scale. While the participants in treatment group were exposed to interpersonal communication skills training for nine sessions, members of the control group did not receive any treatment.

Analysis indicated effectiveness of the psycho-education program in increasing empathy levels and communication skills of the visually impaired adolescents.Key WordsVisually Impaired Adolescents, Interpersonal Communication Skills, Empathy, Psycho-education Group.There is a universally strong will to get into interaction with others in human beings. Social interaction is the basic ingredient that supports social environment and maintains it (Hargie, 2011). Communication meets one of fundamental psychological needs of human being; a need for interaction (Kaya, 2010). As a social being, human beings have a need to live with others, and building effective communication is a prerequisite for living together with others. Yet, it is also inevitable to display socially accepted behaviours in a society to live with others (Tagay, Baydan, & Voltan-Acar, 2010).Interpersonal communication can be defined as a psycho-social process in which at least two individuals reciprocally disclose information, emotions, thoughts and experiences they have by specific means (Kaya, 2010). All interpersonal relationships and interpersonal problems happen to be through interpersonal communication. While healthy interpersonal communication results in deeper, meaningful and satisfying relationships, unhealthy interpersonal communication patterns result in wide range of personal and interpersonal problems (Korkut, 1996). Thus, it is paramount to learn and teach the strategies of effective interpersonal communication, because individuals who can establish effective, healthy and satisfying relationships get more satisfaction from life as well as themselves (Korkut, 2000).One of the motivations in interpersonal relationships is to be understood by others regarding ones experiences, emotions and thoughts. Empathy can be defined as an ability to understand the other person is a paramount aspect in interpersonal relationships. Thus, empathy as a term is one of the essentials in interpersonal relationship and communication (Kaya & Siyez, 2010). According to Rogers (1975) there are some elements of having empathy toward someone. It means to get into one s inner world and be there in a deeper level. This can be accomplished by being very sensitive to ones changing emotions, be it fear, anger or confusion moment by moment. Patterson (1973) defined empathy as perceiving ones reference of perceptual framework, his/her emotional aspects and their meanings in an as if condition (cited in Akkoyun, 1982). Empathy is considered as an ability and a tendency (Kaya & Siyez, 2010). It is multidimensional (Davis, 1983), and has two components; emotional and cognitive. While the cognitive component is about understanding other persons thoughts by getting into his/her role, the emotional component is about understanding his/ her emotions as much as they are felt by the other person (Dokmen, 2005). Blair (2005) added a third component; motor empathy described as mirroring the motor responses of the other person. …
