| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of emotion regulation-based psychotherapy supported by neurofeedback application on psychological symptoms considering the neurological changes caused by trauma in the brain. For psychological symptoms, the SCL-90-R, one of the most widely used psychological screening scales in clinical research, was used. The study was conducted with a total of ten trauma-exposed individuals between the ages of 8-15, three males and seven females. Two groups were formed to test the effects of both interventions. Participants were randomly selected for the experimental and control groups. While only emotion regulation-based sessions were applied to the control group, neurofeedback was applied to the experimental group in addition to emotion regulation sessions. In the analysis of pre-test, post-test and follow-up test scores obtained from the experimental and control group participants, Mixed Inter-Group Intra-Variance Analysis (Mix Desing ANOVA) with a factor of 2 (experimental group, control group) x 3 (pre-test, post-test, follow-up test) was used. According to the results of the research, a significant difference was found in both groups in terms of pre-test-posttest and follow-up test results corresponding to the large effect value. This finding suggests that emotion regulation studies are effective in individuals who have experienced trauma. The neurofeedback-supported emotion-regulation-based sessions applied to the experimental group reduced the symptoms of trauma more in all sub-dimensions than the control group. On the other hand, this decrease was found to be statistically significant and had a large effect size only for the depression and hostility sub-dimensions. It was concluded that this difference for these two sub-dimensions was caused by the use of neurofeedback. In addition, the difference was found to be more permanent in the neurofeedback group on the follow-up measures. | |
