Background and Objective: Adolescent girls experiencing stress and psychological pressure may engage in behaviors that can contribute to suicide ideation and difficulties in social functioning. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy intervention on suicidal ideation and social acceptance in adolescent girls.
Materials and Methods: This research followed the protocols of an applied study with a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of adolescent girls aged 15 to 18 years in Tehran, Iran. The study sample comprised 30 adolescent girls recruited via convenience sampling, according to established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, participants were randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15).
A pretest was administered to both groups before the intervention. The experimental group received the compassion-focused treatment program across eight sessions, each lasting 60 minutes, over the course of one month. The data were collected using the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation and the Marlowe–Crowne Social Acceptance Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the analysis of covariance test in the SPSS (version 26) software.
Results: The findings indicated that compassion-focused therapy had a significant effect on suicidal ideation and social acceptance in adolescent girls (p < 0.01), and its effect on reducing suicidal ideation was greater than that of social acceptance.
Conclusions: Compassion-focused therapy can be used by school psychologists and counselors to reduce suicidal ideation and improve social acceptance among adolescent girls.
