Abstract
A study to assess the effectiveness of thought field therapy on level of anger among adolescents in selected schools at Virudhunagar district was done by Mrs. K. Sutha Mahesh as a partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree of Master of Science in Nursing at Sri. K. Ramachandran Naidu College of nursing, Tirunelveli under the Tamil Nadu Dr. M. G. R. Medical University, Chennai during the year of September 2015. The objectives of the study were, 1. To assess the pre test and post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group and control group. 2. To find out the effectiveness of thought field therapy on level of anger among adolescents in experimental group. 3. To compare the pre test and post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group. 4. To associate the post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group and control group with their selected demographic variables. The following hypotheses were formed for the study All hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level. RH1 - The mean post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group was significantly lower than the mean post test level of anger in the control group. RH2 - The mean post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group was significantly lower than the mean pre test level of anger in the experimental group. RH3 - There was a significant association between the post test level of anger among adolescents in experimental group and control group with their selected demographic variables. The study was based on Roy’s stress adaptation model. The Quantitative approach was used for this study. The study was conducted in Government higher secondary school, Sankarapandiyapuram and Government higher secondary school, Uppathur in Virudhunagar district. The design adopted for this study was true experimental pre test post test control group design to evaluate the effectiveness of thought field therapy on level of anger among adolescents. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 30 samples for control group from Government higher secondary school, Uppathur and the same method was used to select 30 samples for experimental group from Government higher secondary school, Sankarapandiyapuram. The data collection tool used for the study was Modified NOVACO anger Scale. The content validity of the tool was obtained from four nursing experts and one medical expert in the field of psychiatric nursing. The reliability of the tool (r=0.89) was established by test retest method by using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient formula. The tool was accepted as reliable by the clinical experts. Pilot study was conducted to find out the feasibility and done the data analysis. Data collection was done by using the Modified NOVACO anger scale and the data obtained were analyzed both in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics. The major findings of the study were, 1. In experimental group the post test mean value was 56.57 with the standard deviation of 16.67. In control group the post test mean value was 69.2 with the standard deviation of 10.14. The calculated ‘t’ test value was 2.833. 2. In experimental group, it showed the mean value of 68.7 with the standard deviation 12.02 in pre test and a mean value of 56.57 with the standard deviation 16.67 in post test. The mean difference was 12.13. The calculated ‘t’ test value was 3.23. 3. There was a significant association between the post test level of anger among adolescents in the experimental group with the demographic variable sex and birth order. There was no significant association between the post test level of anger among adolescents in the experimental group with the demographic variables age, education, education of parents, occupation of parents, family monthly income, religion, number of friends, number of siblings, type of family, dietary pattern and area of living. 4. There was no significant association between the post test level of anger among adolescents in control group with their selected demographic variables. On the basis of the findings of the study it is recommended that, The following studies can be undertaken to strengthen thought field therapy as a good remedy for reducing the level of anger among adolescents.
