Background: Grief disorder can significantly disrupt an individual's normal functioning. The effectiveness of narrative exposure therapy has been studied for certain disorders, but there is a research gap regarding its effectiveness for grief disorder.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of narrative exposure therapy in reducing grief symptoms and facilitating post-traumatic growth in individuals with prolonged grief disorder.
Methods: The present research was a quasi-experimental study of the pre-test – post-test type with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all adults (18 to 60 years old) diagnosed with prolonged grief disorder based on the DSM-5-TR criteria in Qazvin city in 2022. Sixteen individuals were selected as the sample using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (8 participants in each group). that these groups were matched based on gender. The research tools included the Grief Experience Questionnaire (EGQ) (Barrett & Scott, 1989), the Structured Clinical Interview for Prolonged Grief Disorder (SCIP) (Holly et al., 2022), the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996). The protocol used in this study was the narrative exposure therapy session program (Schauer et al., 2011). The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 24 and an independent t-test to compare pre-test and post-test score differences.
Results: The results indicated that narrative exposure therapy significantly reduced prolonged grief symptoms(t= 9.332, P= 0.001) and facilitated significant post-traumatic growth (t= -6.203, P= 0.001). It is worth noting that narrative exposure therapy led to a significant reduction in all subscales of prolonged grief except for stigmatization, and it facilitated all subscales of post-traumatic growth (p< 0.01).
Conclusion: It can be suggested to implement narrative exposure therapy, considering clinical considerations, in psychological centers for the treatment of individuals with prolonged grief disorder.
