Objective: Adolescents have psychological problems such as anxiety and emotion regulation, which require therapeutic interventions to reduce them. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of life review therapy based on Islamic ontology on anxiety caused by Corona and difficulty in regulating emotions in adolescent girls.
Materials and methods: This research was conducted in a semi-experimental way with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all adolescent girls (17-21 years old) who referred to Shahrbabak counseling centers with anxiety problems and difficulty in regulating emotions, and 30 people (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group) were selected by convenience sampling. Life review therapy based on Islamic ontology, 8 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week were implemented in the experimental group and the control group did not receive any training. The data were collected in the pre-test and post-test stages using the anxiety questionnaires of Corona Alipour et al. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 24 software. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results showed that in the experimental group, the average score of Corona anxiety decreased from 28.8 in the pre-test stage to 15.2 in the post-test stage. Also, in the experimental group, the average score of difficulty in regulating emotions decreased from 106.2 in the pre-test phase to 79.41 in the post-test phase (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings, it can be concluded that the application of life review therapy based on Islamic ontology has an effect on the anxiety caused by Corona and the difficulty in regulating emotions in teenage girls
