Abstract :

The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of anger management training based on cognitive reconstruction on the mental fatigue, perceived stress and emotion regulation of nurses at Shafai Hospital in Urmia. The statistical population of the research Included all the nurses…. nurses of Shafai Hospital in Urmia, from which 30 people were selected by a purposeful method and were randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The selection of the sample size was done with the help of Cohen's table and based on the power of the test. The design of this research was

 

 semi-experimental, with pre-test, post-test and control group. The educational packages include anger management techniques based on cognitive reconstruction, and Yoder's psychological fatigue questionnaire (2010), Watson, Clarke and Telgen's (1988) excitement questionnaire, and Cohen et al.'s (1983) perceived stress scale were used to measure the research variables. The implementation method was in the order that first the subjects were selected by the screening method and were put

 

 in two experimental and control groups. Before the implementation of the intervention in each group, three questionnaires were administered as a pre-test on the participants of all groups. After that, anger management techniques based on cognitive reconstruction were taught in the experimental group, and finally, the same questionnaires were administered again as a post-test on the participants of both experimental groups. To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance was used in SPSS22 software. According to the findings of the research, the modified mean of the anger management experimental group in perceived stress, mental fatigue and emotion regulation was 30.46, 6.87, 65.88 respectively, and the mean of the control group in these variables was 35.86 , 11/05 and 59/37 respectively. The average difference between these two groups in the post-test of the dependent variables of the research was

 

 significant at the level of 0.01. Therefore, it can be said that the average of the anger management experimental group was

 

 significantly lower than the average of the control group in perceived stress and mental fatigue and higher than the control group in emotion regulation. According to these findings, the research hypothesis was confirmed and it can be said that anger management training based on cognitive restructuring has an effect on the perceived stress and mental fatigue and increasing effect on the  emotion regulation.
