AB - The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of Christian Group Counseling on adolescents with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). For this purpose, the researcher analyzed differences observed in participants that partook in Christian Group Counselling Program (CGCP) and those who did not who were divided into two different groups, one experimental and the other, control group. The participants consisted of 24 students in grade 11 and 12 with high PDS-K (Korean PTSD measure) scores who currently attend churches located in Seoul and Kyung-Gi area. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group in order to apply CGCP and test and analyze its effects.
The verification measures used for this study was Cronbach’s α, and the reliability and validity of the validation scale were proved to be relatively high. The study applied quasi experimental design and the CGCP was applied to the students in the experimental group once a week for 90 minutes, 13 times in total, from November 16, 2013 to February 18, 2014. For data sampling, preliminary examination, pre-, and post- tests based on a questionnaire were conducted to see if there is any change observed.
The primary data were analyzed through a statistical package program PASW (SPSSWIN 20.0). In order to verify the frequency, average, and hypothesis, frequency, percentage, and t-test were applied, and to verify the hypothesis, statistical significant level was set at 95%. Based on the testimonies of the observer as well as parents counselling, individual case studies were conducted for those in the experimental group with a high average difference in the pre- and post- tests.
Findings of the study are as follows: First, the result of homogeneity test between the experimental group and the control group came to be p=.402. This shows that there is no significant difference statistically in scores. Second, as a result of analysis of the pre- and post- test differences between the control group and the experimental group, the average of pre(M=2.78)-post(M=2.64) of the experimental group is proved to be relatively higher than the average of pre(M=2.79)-post(M=2.78) of the control group. While the significance level of the control group is proved to be meaningless, the significance level of the experimental group is proved to be p <.01, showing statistical significance.
CGCP’s effect on adolescents with PTSD is proved to be positive. This implies that there is much potentiality in CGCP for the restoration and healing of the adolescents with PTSD.
