Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral program in enhancing psychological resilience among abused women in Ibb City, Yemen. A purposive sample of 24 women aged 15–45 who scored low on a psychological resilience scale was selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (n = 12 each). The experimental group participated in a structured CBT-based intervention designed to improve personal competence, social connectedness, spiritual values, and problem-solving skills. Pre-, post-, and follow-up measurements were conducted using a resilience scale developed by the researchers. Data analysis using Mann–Whitney U, Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, and repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant improvements in psychological resilience in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < .05). Gains were maintained at follow-up, indicating the sustained impact of the intervention. These findings suggest that CBT-based programs are effective tools for supporting the psychological recovery and empowerment of abused women in culturally specific contexts.
