Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence signifies the progression from adolescence to maturity. An adult's personality may be afflicted with social anxiety disorder because of developmental failure. Group therapy for therapeutic purposes is one method of resolving this. The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of therapeutic group therapy on the enhancement of adolescents' psychosocial and emotional development. Develop a quasi-experimental design employing a control group methodology of pre-test-post-test. Methods: The research sample comprised 326 individuals who satisfied the inclusion criteria: they were adolescents who were enrolled in school and were willing to participate as respondents. Criteria for exclusion: minors who decline to participate as respondents. The paired t-test is utilized for univariate analysis in research data analysis. Results: There was a significant difference in psychosocial development scores before and following therapeutic group therapy (p-value = 0.000), and in emotional development scores before and following therapeutic group therapy (p = 0.000), according to the study's findings. By implementing therapeutic group therapy with adolescents, nurses can enhance the standard of mental health nursing care. Conclusion: Therapeutic group therapy has the potential to enhance adolescents' psychosocial and emotional development.
