Conclusions
As far as we know, this is the first study which investigates the effect of SFBT applied to parents with high level of anxiety in the COVID 19 pandemic on reducing anxiety. In the study, it has been found that SFBT applied to parents with high level of anxiety is an effective method in reducing the state anxiety levels of parents. Considering the advantages of applying SFBT in a short time and its rapid effect, it is recommended that SFBT should be applied to disadvantaged groups such as vulnerable children (with chronic diseases) and their parents in order to minimize the negative effects that may occur during and after the pandemic process. In addition, it is recommended to conduct follow-up studies to examine the long-term effects of SFBT.
