Abstract: (326 Views)

The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion group training on reducing intentional self-injury and improving social functioning in teenagers in correctional centers in Tehran province. The current research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a follow-up period of two months. The statistical population of this research included all the male clients of the reform and education center of Tehran province in 2023. In this research, 30 people were selected purposefully and were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people, intervention and control. During 8 sessions, the experimental group was subjected to the group intervention of the Compassion Therapy program. Self-injury questionnaire (SHI; Sanson et al., 1998) and Child and Adolescent Social and Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAF; Price et al., 2002) were used to collect data. Data analysis was done by using repeated measurement variance analysis. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the self-harm variable between the pre-test and post-test and between the pre-test and follow-up of the intervention group (P<0.05), but no significant difference was observed in the social functioning variable between the measurements. In general, it can be concluded that self-compassion group training has an effective role in reducing self-harm behaviors; But it was not effective enough to improve social functioning.

Keywords: Self-compassion, Intentional self-harm, Social functioning.
