Abstract EN

This study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive behavioral counselling program in reducing Post- traumatic Stress Disorder among a sample of displaced Syrians to Jordan.

The study population consisted of all displaced Syrians to Jordan who are living in Ramtha camp, totaling 4,500 people until February, 2013.

The study sample consisted of 24 members of the displaced Syrians, who have achieved the highest scores on the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Davidson scale.

The members of the sample were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group which consisted of (12) individuals, and a control group which consisted of (12) individuals.

Members of the experimental group received a cognitive behavioral counseling program, while the members of the control group did not have any counseling program.

The results of the (ANCOVA) analysis showed differences with a statistical indication at the level of significance (a ≤0.05) between the experimental group and the control group on the degree of Post- traumatic Stress Disorder scale in favor of the experimental group after completing the program directly; that is, cognitive behavioral counseling program has a positive effect in reducing symptoms of Post- traumatic Stress Disorder.

The (T- test) results indicated that there were no difference with a statistical indication at the level of significance (a ≤0.05) between the scores of the experimental group on the Post- traumatic Stress Disorder scale after completing the program directly, and the scores of the experimental group after a month of completing the application of program.
