Abstract: (1361 Views)
Background: The neurocycle model has been developed based on cognitive neuroscience studies
and can be applied to manage the functioning of the mind.
Objectives: The present study investigated the effectiveness of the neurocycle mind-management
approach in the resiliency and wellbeing of female university students.
Materials & Methods: This single-subject experimental study was conducted based on the AB
model. The research population comprised all single female university students aged 20 to 30
years studying at Khatam University in 2022. The participants were 3 students who attended the
training intervention, and one was the control. The study data were collected using Connor and
Davidson’s (2003) resilience scale and Ryff’s (1989) psychological wellbeing scale. Data analysis
was performed through chart analysis, clinical improvement rate, and reliable change index.
Results: The obtained data revealed that the students’ resilience and psychological wellbeing
scores increased compared to the baseline and control values. The overall improvement rates of
the participants in terms of resilience and psychological wellbeing were 45.23% and 43.89%,
respectively, though not clinically significant. In all three participants, the reliable change index in
both variables was higher than 1.96, so the impact of the intervention was statistically significant.
Based on the follow-up phase results, the effects of the intervention increased after 1 month from
the last intervention session, but the improvement was not significant.
Conclusion: The neurocycle mind-management technique can be explored and used as an effective
intervention to improve female university students’ resilience and psychological wellbeing.
and can be applied to manage the functioning of the mind.
