摘要
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group play therapy on anxiety-based school refusal and behavioral issues in elementary school boys. A randomized controlled trial design (pretestposttest with a control group) was utilized. Thirty elementary school boys with school refusal issues were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The intervention group received ten sessions of cognitive-behavioral group play therapy. The Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) questionnaire and Rutter's Children's Behavior Questionnaire were used as assessment tools. Mean scores for anxiety-based school refusal and behavioral problems in the intervention group showed a significant decrease (p < 0.001). Cognitive-behavioral group play therapy is a practical approach to reducing anxiety levels and behavior problems in children with anxiety-based school refusal in primary school grades.
