Abstract

Purpose

This feasibility study examined the aggression management training (AMT) interventions on self-esteem, impulsivity, and aggressive behavior among adolescents residing in delinquent or observation homes.

Methods

A quantitative research approach with the quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group (comparison) pretest and Posttest design was adopted. A total of 32 male adolescents (16 each in experimental and comparison groups) residing in two different observation homes in the state of Bihar, India were selected by convenience sampling technique. The study evaluated the following outcome measures: self-esteem, impulsivity, and aggressive behavior for both groups at baseline and 1 month. AMT was administered to the experimental group bi-weekly for 4 weeks covering four components in 8 sessions.

Results

We analysed the data with independent and paired t-tests for between and within the group differences, and Pearson correlation for a relationship. AMT intervention improved self-esteem and reduced aggressive behavior and impulsivity among adolescents residing in delinquent homes. A correlation was found between aggression and impulsivity, and between self-esteem and impulsivity.

Psychiatric nursing Implications

The study had provided initial evidence for practice that can help psychiatric nurses significantly implement these types of interventions among significant, vulnerable, and ignored groups of adolescents detained in observation homes to prevent the occurrence of repeat offenses.

攻击管理训练对不良家庭青少年自尊、冲动和攻击行为的影响——一项来自东印度的可行性研究

目的本可行性研究考察了侵犯管理训练（AMT）对居住在犯罪家庭或观察家庭的青少年自尊、冲动和攻击行为的干预。方法采用准实验非等效对照组（比较）前测和后测设计的定量研究方法。通过方便抽样技术，共选择了居住在印度比哈尔邦两个不同观察院的32名男性青少年（实验组和对照组各16名）。该研究评估了以下结果指标：基线和1个月时两组的自尊、冲动和攻击行为。实验组每两周给药一次，为期4周，共8次，共4个成分。结果我们用独立和配对t检验分析了组间和组内差异的数据，并用Pearson相关分析了一种关系。AMT干预改善了居住在犯罪家庭的青少年的自尊，减少了他们的攻击行为和冲动。研究发现，攻击性和冲动性以及自尊和冲动性之间存在相关性。精神病护理的影响该研究为实践提供了初步证据，可以帮助精神病护士在被拘留在观察院的重要、脆弱和被忽视的青少年群体中显著实施这些类型的干预措施，以防止再次犯罪的发生。
