The Suicidal Ideation variables were measured by Beck Scale Suicidal Ideation (BSSI). The data were analyzed using co-variance.
The results showed no significant difference between the dependent variables of the two groups before the treatment. But after the intervention, there was a significant difference between the suicide ideation of two groups.
