Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of the training program based on lived experience in parent-child relationships and schema therapy on empathy, emotional regulation and mental health of abused adolescent girls.
Method: This study was combined (qualitative and quantitative). In the qualitative part, the research method was phenomenological and in the quantitative part, the research method was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control group. The statistical population of the present study included all abused teenage girls who were present in welfare centers for girls in Sanandaj city in 1402. The sample of the research was selected in the qualitative section using the purposeful sampling method and they were subjected to a semi-structured interview. In the quantitative part, the statistical sample of the present study was made up of 45 adolescent girls with bad guardians. The first experimental group received the intervention program based on lived experience in parent-child relationships and the second experimental group received the schema therapy program and the control group did not receive the programGoldberg's mental health questionnaires (1972), Davis's empathy (1994) and Gross and John's (2003) emotion regulation questionnaires were used as research tools. Data analysis was done with SPSS 28 software and multivariate covariance analysis and Bonferroni post hoc test were used
Findings: The findings showed that only the lived experience intervention was effective for one of the emotion regulation scales (Cognitive reappraisal) and both intervention methods were effective on empathy and mental health (p<0.05). Bonferroni's post hoc test showed that the effectiveness of the lived experience intervention on empathy was greater than the schema therapy intervention, but the effectiveness of the two intervention methods on mental health was the same.
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that the training program based on lived experience in parent-child relationships is effective in improving the ability of abused adolescent girls, and it is recommended to use it in the treatment and education process.
