Child and adolescent psychiatric inpatients have social skill deficits and problems in peer relations. Helping them develop social skills can be undertaken as a nursing intervention. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of a sociability promotion program on children`s and adolescents' peer relation and loneliness in a child and adolescent psychiatric unit.
Data were collected from March 1, 1999, to September 30, 1999. The 28 subject were selected from the child and adolescent psychiatric unit of a university hospital, 14 patient were assigned to the experimental group and 14 were assigned to the control group.
The study had a nonequivalent control group pre-post design. For 8 weeks the experimental group participated in Sociability Promotion Program that met weekly for one hour. The control group received no treatment. The tools used in this study were sociability promotion program that the researcher designed, Index of Peer Relations(IPR), and Children`s Loneliness Questionnaire(CLQ).
The control group data were collected first during the first admission week and again after 8 weeks. After the control group data collected, the experimental group data were collected. The experimental group participated in the sociability promotion program after their preliminary data were collected. The sociability promotion program were consist of 8 sessions and the program was conducted by one researcher and one nurse.
The data were analyzed using the SAS computer program: t-test were used to test the homogeneity of the variables for the two groups before and after intervention.
The analysis indicated that the improvement in the experimental group`s mean score on peer relation was not statistically significant. It was due in part to the sample size of 14. Otherwise, the improvement in the experimental group`s mean score on children`s loneliness was statistically significant and the improvement in peer relation and children`s loneliness mean scores changes among depressed patients were statistically significant. Improvement in mean score peer relations and loneliness scores were higher for children than for adolescents, but the differences were not statistically significant.
Thus, the sociability promotion program increased children`s and adolescents' loneliness in a psychiatric unit. But the study should be replicated with the appropriate sample size and more intensive program.
