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.
