Evaluating the Emotion Regulation Program on Enhancing Family Resilience

Abstract

The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of emotion regulation program in enhancing family resilience. By comparing the outcomes between experimental and control groups, the research sought to determine the intervention's impact on improving the resilience levels within family units. A total of 40 participants were divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent a emotion regulation program designed to enhance family resilience, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Family resilience was measured for both groups at three time points: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, using standardized resilience assessment tools. The study employed descriptive statistics, analysis of variance with repeated measurements, and the Bonferroni post-hoc test to analyze the data. The findings indicated significant improvements in family resilience scores for the experimental group from pre-test to post-test, which were largely maintained at follow-up. The analysis of variance revealed significant time, group, and time × group interaction effects, underscoring the intervention's effectiveness. The Bonferroni post-hoc test further confirmed the sustainability of these improvements over time. The study concludes that the emotion regulation program was effective in enhancing family resilience among the participants in the experimental group, with these improvements being sustained over time. These results suggest the potential utility of such interventions in fostering resilience within family units, highlighting the importance of targeted psychological support in resilience enhancement programs.
