Özet:

 


Objectives:
Socially
disconnected widows usually live a lonely and depressing life with anxiety and
low self-worth. Many have contemplated suicide and others have become a victim
of suicide already. Evolving an intervention to provide succor to them to take
control of their lives may help a great deal. This paper presents the results
of a nonrandomized study assessing the potency of cognitive reframing (CR) in
reducing social disconnectedness (SD) among the widows.

Methods: The
pre- and post-data was collected from a non-randomized sample of 41 widows in
the treatment group and 45 in the waitlist control group. The mean age of the participants was 41.383 ± 6.730 [95% CI = 39.940–42.940] (min. = 25 - max. = 56) years. The
cognitive reframing administered spanned for eight weeks.

Results: Analysis
of the data collected suggests that cognitive reframing is significantly
effective in reducing socially disconnected behavior among the widows in the
study. The social disconnected behavior among the widows reduced by 40.95%
compared to 8.29% observed in the waitlist control group.

Conclusions: The CR technique may be helpful in
reducing social disconnectedness in widows. However, further study may be
required in a randomized sample to enhance generalization.
