This study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive behavioral
counselling program in reducing Post- traumatic Stress Disorder among a
sample of displaced Syrians to Jordan. The study population consisted of all
displaced Syrians to Jordan who are living in Ramtha camp, totaling 4,500
people until February, 2013. The study sample consisted of 24 members of
the displaced Syrians, who have achieved the highest scores on the Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder Davidson scale. The members of the sample were
randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group which consisted
of (12) individuals, and a control group which consisted of (12) individuals.
Members of the experimental group received a cognitive behavioral
counseling program, while the members of the control group did not have
any counseling program.
The results of the (ANCOVA) analysis showed differences with a
statistical indication at the level of significance (a ≤0.05) between the
experimental group and the control group on the degree of Post- traumatic
Stress Disorder scale in favor of the experimental group after completing
the program directly; that is, cognitive behavioral counseling program has
a positive effect in reducing symptoms of Post- traumatic Stress Disorder.
The (T- test) results indicated that there were no difference with a statistical
indication at the level of significance (a ≤0.05) between the scores of the
experimental group on the Post- traumatic Stress Disorder scale after
completing the program directly, and the scores of the experimental group
after a month of completing the application of program
