Abstract

Background: Late adolescents are at risk for depression because they are manifested with various adaptations, including adjustment to their growth development, adaptation to learning in school, and changing digital society. Objective: This quasi-experimental research aimed to test the effect of the social problem-solving therapy program on depression among late adolescents. Method: Thirty participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected and assigned to the experimental (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The research instruments included the personal data form, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale with Cronbach's alpha of 0.82, and the social problem-solving therapy program. The experimental group received the social problem-solving therapy program. The control group received regular nursing care. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, two-way repeated measures ANOVA, and pairwise comparisons using the Bonferroni method were employed to analyze the data. Result: The results revealed that the experimental group had significantly different mean depression scores at post-test and 1-month follow-up compared to the control group, with p < .05 (F128 = 16.30, p < .05). In the experimental group, the mean depression scores at post-test (mean = 13.27, SD = 5.27) and 1-month follow-up (mean = 15.13, SD = 5.08) were significantly lower than those at pre-test (mean = 20.20, SD = 0.86) with p <. 05. Conclusion: The result revealed that the social problem-solving therapy program could be applied to decrease depression among late adolescents. Therefore, nurses and other healthcare professionals should consider integrating this intervention into their practice to prevent or reduce depression among this late adolescents.
