This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effect of a psychodrama group intervention on mental health promotion among nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group received weekly psychodrama sessions for 12 weeks, while the control group prepared group presentations on the same themes without psychodrama techniques. Mental health promotion levels were assessed before and after the intervention using a validated scale.
This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial conducted among nursing students. Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group participated in a psychodrama group intervention consisting of 12 weekly sessions, each lasting approximately 120-150 minutes. Sessions were facilitated by a trained psychodramatist and followed the classical psychodrama structure, including warm-up, action, and sharing phases.
The control group participated in weekly group presentations and discussions on the same themes as the intervention group but did not receive any psychodrama techniques. Mental health promotion levels were assessed before and after the intervention using the validated Mental Health Promotion Scale.
