About

The research was conducted to examine the effect of solution focused approach on anger management and violent behavior in adolescents.

Full description

Anger, which is one of the universal emotions; It is a natural response to unsatisfied demands, frustrations, and unmet expectations. Adolescents are the group that most experience the feeling of anger that everyone frequently encounters in daily life.

Adolescent individuals may have more difficulty in controlling their anger than other age groups. Inappropriately expressed anger; It can lead to various physical, social and psychological problems such as incompatibility in interpersonal relationships, negative effects on health, disagreement in the workplace, conflict and violence.

Adolescents who do not know how to deal with their anger can engage in various violent behaviors by expressing their anger in inappropriate ways. Aggressive behaviors that develop due to the tendency of violence in young people pose a problem in terms of public health, considering the effects on the mental health and well-being of adolescents. In studies examining the victims of violence in the adolescent period; It has been determined that the victims have a wide range of health and psychological problems.

There are various approaches that support anger control psychosocially for adolescents, who are a risky group in anger control. Preventive intervention programs are implemented for adolescents on the causes of anger, anger expression patterns, anger management, problem solving techniques, improving communication skills and stress management. Recently, Solution-Focused Approach (SFA), which is one of the alternative approaches that focuses on the solution, not the problem, and provides practical and short-term well-being, has been started to be used in the management of violent behavior and anger.

SFA is an initiative that respects individuals and believes in their own resources and potential. In SFA, the problems of the individual are not examined, the resources and strengths of the individual are determined. Access to these resources provides an important opportunity for the individual to discover their skills and abilities. SFA meets the values and principles of mental health and psychiatric nursing on a common ground, as the individual searches for the skills and power resources that the individual will use in the process of change. Psychiatric nurses focus on good and working solutions and on the moments when the problem will not happen, instead of focusing on the problem and deficiencies, in order to contribute to the individual's adaptation and solution-generating skills. With this support, the individual is provided with an important opportunity to realize their personal characteristics and develop their social skills. Although SFA can be applied to all age groups, the most effective evidence-based studies are those in which children and adolescents participate.

In this study, unlike other studies, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by examining the effect of SFA on improving anger management and reducing the level of violence in adolescents. SFA intervention can be used as a nursing intervention in adolescents with low anger control and high tendency to violence. When psychiatric nurses use SFA principles and practices; It contributes in areas such as protecting and improving adolescent health, reducing violence and aggression behaviors, providing anger management, strengthening talents, skills and capacities, and improving in case of illness, in order to create healthier generations free from violence.
