Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic storytelling on social anxiety and cognitive emotion regulation in school children with visual impairment. Method: This is a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population includes students of Narjes Blind Educational Complex in Tehran. Thirty eligible individuals were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of control (15) and experimental group (15). The Labiotz’s scale of social anxiety and Garnefsky and Craig's cognitive emotion regulation were used. The experimental group received ten sessions of story therapy (each session for 90 minutes) and the control group did not receive any intervention. At the end of the course, post-test was performed for both experimental and control groups. Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that story therapy had a significant effect on social anxiety and cognitive emotion regulation (total) and its components like positive re-attention, focus on planning, positive review and re-evaluation, self-blame, rumination, Scrutinizing, catastrophizing, and blaming others in the experimental group as compared to the control group (P < 0/01). Conclusion: In general, therapeutic storytelling can help improve social anxiety and cognitive emotion regulation in children with visual impairment. |
