Resilience Enhancement Program, Suicide Risk, Mood DisordersAbstract
This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine the effects of the group resilience enhancement program on the suicide risk of patients with mood disorders. The sample consisted of 34 patients, both male and female, aged between 25-59 years, diagnosed with mood disorders (F31.x, F32.x) and receiving treatment in the inpatient department of a psychiatric hospital under the Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health. The participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 17 patients. Data were collected using a personal information questionnaire and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I) for suicide risk assessment. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures, and independent t-test statistics.
The results showed that: The suicide risk scores of patients with mood disorders in the experimental group were significantly lower after 1 month and 2 months of receiving the group resilience enhancement program compared to their pre-program scores, with statistical significance at .05. The suicide risk scores of the experimental group were significantly lower after 1 month and 2 months of receiving the mental resilience enhancement program compared to the control group which received standard nursing care, with statistical significance at .05. There was no significant difference in the suicide risk scores of the experimental group between the 1-month and 2-month follow-up periods.
