“…The findings of the study suggest that emotional schema therapy was effective in improving emotional cognitive regulation among students with adaptive disorders related to romantic break‐ups. This finding is consistent with previous research conducted by Ghadampour et al (2018), Ghodrati Shahtoori et al (2020), Kianipour et al (2018), Leahy (2010, 2012), Morvaridi et al (2016) and Naderi et al (2015). Emotional schema therapy aims to help individuals identify and challenge maladaptive emotional schemas or patterns of thinking and behaviour that underlie emotional difficulties.…”

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of online group therapy based on emotional schema therapy with that of transdiagnostic therapy in improving distress tolerance and cognitive emotion regulation among university students with adjustment disorders due to romantic break‐ups. The statistical population included all students who experienced a romantic break‐up in Iran in 2020, aged 18–38 years. Due to COVID‐19 pandemic restrictions, participants were selected online. After filling in initial forms, diagnostic interviews were conducted through purposive sampling. A group was then randomly selected and divided into three groups: the first experimental group (transdiagnostic group therapy) included 15 participants; the second experimental group (emotional schema therapy) consisted of 15 participants; and the third group was the control group with 15 participants. The experimental groups received ten 90‐min group therapy sessions. Participants completed the Distress Tolerance Questionnaire and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire at pretest, post‐test and 1‐month follow‐up stages. According to the results of repeated measures ANOVA, there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05) in the post‐test scores of distress tolerance and cognitive emotion regulation strategies. However, there were no significant differences between the two experimental groups. The results indicated that both internet‐based transdiagnostic group therapy and emotional schema therapy were effective interventions in mitigating symptoms of adjustment disorders due to romantic break‐ups among university students. This highlights the potential of online group therapy as a viable option for students experiencing such disorders, particularly during pandemic‐related restrictions.

“…Several group-based approaches have been explored by researchers in the quest to ameliorate stress problems among clients in different settings, including a stress inoculation approach among athletes, [14] a mindfulness intervention approach among older adults, [15] acceptance and commitment therapy among social workers, [16] emotion-focused therapy among military veterans, [17] and group rational-emotive behavior therapy (group REBT) among parents, undergraduates, teachers, and nursing students [18–24] . The group REBT approach developed by Albert Ellis in 1955 is an evidence-based group intervention for remedying stress in different client groups by identifying and adjusting clients’ thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that make them vulnerable to stress [22,25,26] …”

Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated the need for a stress management intervention among construction workers. Construction workers, despite their degree of stress, are expected to contribute to the accomplishment of projects on construction sites. This study aimed to ascertain the effect of a group rational emotive behavior therapy (group REBT) on stress management among a select sample of skilled construction workers in construction industry in Nigeria. Methods: With a randomized controlled trial design, 160 skilled construction workers completed the study and responded to the perceived stress scale-14 and work-related irrational beliefs questionnaire. Participants were randomly allocated to either the intervention group (n = 80) or the control group (n = 80). The main method of data analysis used in the study was repeated measures within-between subjects analysis of variance statistic. Results: Results show that group REBT significantly improved stress and work-related irrational beliefs scores of the skilled construction workers after they were exposed to the intervention and compared with their colleagues in the control group. The significant reduction in stress and work-related irrational beliefs scores of the treatment group were also sustained at follow-up. Conclusion: Group REBT was significant in reducing stress and work-related irrational beliefs among the skilled construction workers.

“…Suicide attempt history may predict subsequent attempts, and recurrent suicidal attempts comprise a risk factor for suicidal deaths; thus, 50% of those who have died by suicide had a history of at least one suicidal attempt. [ 5 6 7 ] Suicide and repeated suicide attempts raise the cost of healthcare systems, increase years of life lost, impede productivity, and impose a high – especially emotional – burden on the family.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Unless mental health care is provided to suicide attempters after discharge from the emergency department, suicide prevention opportunities may be lost. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of motivational interviewing (MI)-based training on using mental health services and reducing the severity of suicidal thoughts. METHODS: This quasi-experimental study was performed on seventy suicide attempters who had been admitted to the emergency department of three university hospitals in Southeast Iran in 2019. Eligible patients were chosen through convenience sampling, and they were randomly divided into the experimental ( n = 35) and control ( n = 35) groups. The intervention group received three MI sessions on the day of discharge and the 1 st week after discharge. Twelve weeks after the intervention, the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation and the using mental health services were completed in both the groups. Data were analyzed using Chi-squared test, independent t -test, and paired t -test. RESULTS: While there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the mean score of suicidal ideation on the pretest, the experimental group experienced a significant decrease in this respect at the end of the study; thus, this group scored 8.86 ± 5.30, which is considerably lower than that obtained in the control group (15.85 ± 6.65) ( P = 0.0001). Furthermore, at the end of the study, the rate of using mental health services increased much more in the experimental group than in the control group ( P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: MI training had a significant positive impact on mitigating suicidal ideation and promoting mental health services use. To improve mental health and to better serve suicidal individuals, it is recommended that short-term interventions be developed in the form of post-discharge education for suicidal patients admitted to the emergency department.
