Abstract :
According to UNICEF, approximately 12 million girls worldwide are married before the age of 18, with the majority of cases occurring in developing countries. Child marriage has been linked to numerous negative outcomes, including lower levels of education, increased risk of poverty, and poorer physical and mental health. This research was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on resilience and mental well-being of girls with child marriage between ages 14-17. The study was conducted using a quasi-experimental method and a pre-test, post-test design with a control group and a follow-up phase.The statistical population included all female students in the age range of 14 to 17 in the Razavieh region of Mashhad in the academic year of 2018-2019. 30 students were selected through available sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people for each group). In order to collect data, Keyes and Magyar-Moe Mental Well-Being Scale (SWS) and Connor and Davidson CD-RISC Resilience Questionnaire were used. The data were analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) test in SPSS version 21. The findings indicated the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on resilience and mental well-being (p < 0.01). Moreover, the mean scores in the post-test increased significantly compared to the pre-test, and this improvement remained stable at the follow-up stage. According to the findings, this therapeutic approach can serve as an effective intervention for enhancing resilience and mental well-being among girls, thereby supporting broader health‑promotion and care objectives.
