The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of psychological self-care training on self-criticism and emotional reactivity among female high school students with suicidal ideation in Harsin city. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest–posttest control group design. The study population consisted of female students in the second cycle of secondary education in Harsin during the 2024–2025 academic year (N = 996). From this population, 30 eligible participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The experimental group received ten 90-minute sessions of psychological self-care training based on the program developed by Orange et al. Data were collected using the Emotional Reactivity Scale (ERS; Nock et al., 2008), the Levels of Self-Criticism Scale (LOSC; Thompson & Zuroff, 2004), and the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI; Beck et al., 1979). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The findings indicated that, after controlling for pretest effects, there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in posttest mean scores of emotional reactivity and self-criticism at the 0.05 significance level. These results suggest that the psychological self-care training program had an acceptable effect in reducing self-criticism and emotional reactivity among female high school students with suicidal ideation.
