Summary

Introduction: Interpersonal Relational Role Analysis (IRRA) is a psychosocial group intervention that allows individuals to see the problems they experience in interpersonal relationships and interactions in the group environment and to be handled together with group members.

Aim: The present study aims to investigate the effects of IRRA on nursing students' depressive symptoms and coping styles.

Method: This study was conducted with randomized controlled, pre-test-post-test control group design and follow-up test patterns. Students with depressive symptoms were randomly assigned to control (n=10) or intervention groups (n=10). Intervention group students received 21 weeks of IRRA intervention.

Results: It was determined that IRRA had a positive effect on nursing students' depressive symptoms and coping styles.

Discussion: This study is the first to evaluate the effects of IRRA on depressive symptoms and coping styles. Our study provides evidence on the effectiveness of IRRA in reducing the depressive symptoms of nursing students and in managing stress.

Implications for Practice: IRRA is a practical and useful intervention that mental health nurses can incorporate and use in their clinical practice while helping individuals to become aware of problems in relationships and roles that may impair their mental health.

Interpersonal Relational Role Analysis

Interpersonal Relational Role Analysis (IRRA) is a psychosocial group intervention that allows individuals to see the problems they experience in interpersonal relationships and interactions in the group environment and to be handled together with group members. Similar to Yalom's interactional group therapy model, IRRA sessions comprise warm up, the stages of setting the agenda, working, evaluating, and getting feedback from observers, which are based on the 'here and now' principle. IRRA helps to safely examine the roles in which group members are "stuck," in a group environment which is a small example of social life, and these roles are addressed in six steps.
