Abstract :

Suicide is a complex social consequence and it is an increasing problem among female students, so the aim of the present study was the effectiveness of schema therapy on cognitive fusion and academic vitality of female students committing suicide. The current research was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test and a post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all secondary school female students in Isfahan city in 2023 who had a history of suicide in the last two years. Among them, 30 people were selected by the available sampling method and were replaced randomly and by lottery in two experimental and control groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group). The experimental group received schema therapy (10 sessions) and one session every week for 60 minutes, and the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. The research questionnaires included the cognitive fusion questionnaire of Gillanders et al. (2014) and the academic vitality scale of Dehghanizadeh and Hossein Chari (2011). For data analysis, univariate covariance analysis was used with SPSS version 25 software. The results showed that schema therapy was effective in reducing cognitive fusion and increasing academic vitality in the post-test phase (p<0.001). The findings of the present study can be used in selecting and designing the most appropriate therapeutic approach to reduce suicidal thoughts of female students with psychological distress.
