The experimental group received two sessions of psychodrama every two weeks for 90 minutes for five weeks. Data were collected using Wisconsin cards in both groups as pre and post test and data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (Mean and SD) and analytical statistics such as covariance ( MANCOVA) .
Results : The results showed n that between experimental groups who received psychodrama and control group who didn t receive psychodrama the difference was significant (P<0.0005) and the group with psychodrama had higher performance. Also there was a significant difference between balance means in two groups in missed element reduction error (P<0.0005) and psychodrama was effectiveness on reduction error (increase cognitive flexibility) in nursing students. There was no significant difference between two groups in the element of uses of feedbacks (P<0.068).
Conclusion: Psychodrama was effective intervention on executive functions and missing error element. Therefore this method can be used to improve students cognitive flexibility and empower them in confronting stress and resolve specific problems encountering in their field of study. |
