“Sağlıklı İlişki Geliştirme Programı”nın Türk Ergen Kızların İlişkilerinde Yaşadıkları Çatışma Düzeylerine Etkileri

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a “Healthy Relationship Development Program” on the conflict levels of female adolescents during their romantic relationships. A pre-test-post-test comparison design was used and there was also a control group. Adolescent girls (aged 18-19 years) who were in a relationship with a romantic partner were included in the study. These girls were selected among students who continued their education in the Inegol Vocational School of Uludag University in Bursa. Experimental and control groups were separately composed of 25 female adolescents. A ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Conflict in Female Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory (CADRI)’ and ‘HealthyUnhealthy Relationship Information Form and Program Evaluation Form’ were used. The pre-test was applied to both control and experimental groups. Then, the ‘Healthy Relationship Development Program’ (16 sessions) was performed. After implementation of the program, the post test was carried out on the test and control groups. Relational aggression and the physical, sexual and verbal-emotional abuse levels of female adolescents decreased through the effect of the ‘Healthy Relationship Development Program’. Furthermore, it was determined that adolescent girls’ knowledge of healthy/unhealthy romantic relationships was improved
