Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of anger management programs based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in psychiatric inpatients. This study used a nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized, and quasi?experimental design. 31 subjects were recruited. The experimental group (n=16) received 5 sessions of 2 week program. The control group (n=15) could receive the same program as the experimental group after completion of the first- and 14th-day questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows. Compared with the control group, patients on treatment showed significant reduction in scores of anger-out (U=19.50, p＜.001), and anger-expression (U=40.50, p=.001). This present trial results demonstrate that anger management programs significantly reduced anger-out and anger-expression. These results can suggest that anger management programs contribute to controlling anger-expression of psychiatric inpatients.
