Fifty eligible students from two campuses of a state university will be randomized to an intervention group (n=25) or a control group (n=25). The intervention group will receive a structured SFBT-based program delivered face-to-face, while the control group will continue usual conditions during the study period. Outcomes will be assessed using standardized questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. The primary analyses will compare changes in outcome scores over time between groups.', 'detailedDescription': 'Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) delivered to associate degree students on hope, problem-solving skills, and life satisfaction.\n\nDesign: This is a parallel-group randomized controlled experimental study. Setting: The study will be conducted at a state university vocational school located on two separate campuses.\n\nParticipants and sample size: The planned sample size is 50 university students, with approximately 25 participants in the intervention group and 25 in the control group.\n\nIntervention: The intervention group will receive a structured, face-to-face SFBT-based brief program focusing on goal setting, identifying exceptions, scaling questions, and strengthening personal resources and small-step planning.\n\nControl: The control group will continue usual conditions and will not receive the SFBT program during the study period.\n\nOutcome measures: Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, the Continuous Hope Scale (CHS), the Problem Solving Inventory (PSI), and the Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS). Outcomes will be assessed at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and follow-up (T2).\n\nStatistical analysis: Data will be analyzed using appropriate descriptive statistics and repeated-measures approaches to compare changes over time between groups.
