Abstract
This research aimed to study the effects of a group counseling program based on positive cognitive behavioral therapy to enhance psychological well-being among dental students using a quasi-experimental design. The sample comprised 20 undergraduate dental students who have psychological well-being scores at the moderate level or below and are willing to participate in research, matched by psychological well-being scores and randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group, with 10 students in each group. The research instruments were a psychological well-being scale with an overall reliability of 0.958 and a group counseling program based on positive cognitive behavioral therapy. The data were analyzed using a t-test and Cohen’s d. The result showed that 1) the psychological well-being score in dental students after participating in the group counseling program based on positive cognitive behavioral therapy was significantly higher than before the experiment at the.05 level, 2) the psychological well-being score in dental students after participating in the group counseling program based on positive cognitive behavioral therapy was significantly higher than the control group at the.05 level, and 3) the effect size of the program was 1.16. Therefore, the group counseling program based on positive cognitive behavioral therapy could enhance the psychological well-being among dental students.
