چکیده: (736 مشاهده)
Background and Objective: Numerous studies have documented the effectiveness of play therapy in helping children modify their thoughts and behaviors. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral play therapy (CBPT) in addressing internalizing problems in children aged 8–10 years.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest and posttest design with a control group, involving 391 students selected through cluster sampling. Students were assessed using the Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL), Multidimensional Anxiety Scale (MASC), and Child Depression Inventory (CDI). Among 153 students whose scores were T≥63 in CBCL, ≥60 in MASC and ≥18 in CDI, 42 individuals diagnosed as having internalizing disorders through the psychiatric interview and assigned randomly and equally to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group attended 14 therapeutic sessions (once a week, 45 minutes each session) and received CBPT, but the control group did not. After the last session, all participants were reassessed using the CBCL, MASC, and CDI. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).
Results: The results showed that the internalizing behavior problems of the experimental group reduced after attending CBPT sessions. According to the eta coefficient, 40%, 69%, 69%, 72%, 55%, and 62% of the variation in internalizing behavior problems and their factors (anxiety/depression, withdrawal/depression, somatic complaints), anxiety, and depression in the experimental group were due to participating in CBPT.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the CBPT is a useful therapeutic technique to reduce internalizing behavior problems and their negative effects on academic performance in 8–10-year-old children.
