Indicated by its title, the study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a counseling program based on the cognitive-behavioral approach in improving the level of adaptation and reducing future anxiety among children in Jordanian children's villages. The results demonstrated the ability of the counseling program applied in this study to improve the level of adaptation on all dimensions (psychological, family, social and academic), and reduce future anxiety on all dimensions (social, family, economic, psychological, and academic) among the children of the Jordanian Children's Villages (SOS).
Distinguishing factors and recommendations
What distinguishes Azzeh’s study from others is that it relied on the use of both the adaptation scale and the future anxiety scale, which have not been previously studied in combination. Furthermore, Azzeh added new topics to the counseling program that previous studies did not address.
It is also considered one of the only studies applied to the children of the Jordanian SOS Children’s Villages. The study expressed the importance of developing counseling programs and recommended applying the counseling program and the tools that were developed throughout this study to the children in care homes of the Jordanian Ministry of Social Development.
Royal directives
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Intisar Al-Smadi as supervisor, Prof. Ibrahim Maali as head of the discussion committee, Prof. Suhaila Banat as an external discussant from Amman Arab University, and Dr. Fatima Al-Talaheen. One of the reasons that prompted the researcher to carry out his study were the royal directives to pay attention to orphans and the like who lack family support and find solutions to deal with the challenges they face to empower them and integrate them into society as well as support the Jordanian Children's Villages into this direction.
It is worth noting that the Jordanian SOS Children's Villages Association provides alternative care for children who lack family support, and also provides support for young men and women up to the age of 24 to help them reach the stage of independence. They cover various aspects of housing, food security, education, health and psychological care, empowerment, economic security, protection, and community integration in a warm family atmosphere.
