Objective:To explore the effectiveness of solution-focused coaching(SFC) on the emotion and self-perception in nurses with job burnout.Methods:Sixty female nurses with moderate to severe job burnout in a hospital were randomly allocated into the SFC group and control group.The participants in the SFC group were intervened with solution-focused coaching once a week for 30 minutes,which lasted for 3 weeks.The participants in the control group read at the same frequency and time.In the baseline and after the 3-week intervention,the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule(PANAS),Attention to Positive and Negative Inventory(APNI),and a selfreference valence task were used to measure the effects.Results:In the post-intervention test,the scores of Positive Affect(PA) and Attention to Positive Inventory(API) were higher in the SFC group than in the control group(Ps<0.05),and the scores of Attention to Negative Inventory(ANI) were lower in the SFC group than in the control group(P <0.05).In addition,the ratio of positive trait words to be rated as being able to describe themselves in the post-test was higher than that at baseline in the SFC group(P <0.05).Conclusion:It shows that solution-focused coaching could improve the positive emotion of female nurses with burnout,improve their attention bias to positive information,and also enhance their positive self-perception,suggesting that it might be an effective intervention method to them.

Objective: To explore the effect of the solution-focused brief group counseling on relieving procrastination of graduate students. Methods: Totally 33 graduate students with procrastination [the score of Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) was more than or equal to 3. 5] were selected through the Internet. They were randomly divided into two groups, 17 in the ordinary counseling group (ordinary group) and 16 in the solution-focused counseling group (SF group). Samples in the SF group were given the solution-focused brief group counseling, while the ordinary group was given ordinary group counseling. The General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES)，Self-control Scale (SCS) and Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) were used to get the outcome of graduate students at baseline，the time after the group counseling (1 week follow-up，1 month follow-up). Results: The interactive effect between group and time of SCS，PPS were statistically significant (Ps <0. 01). Separate analyses showed that there was no significant difference between two groups in all variables at baseline (Ps >0.05). At the end of the group counseling，the SCS scores were higher in the SF group than in the Ordinary group，and the PPS scores were lower in the SF group than in the Ordinary group. Conclusion: It suggests that solution-focused brief group counseling could improve self-control and relieve procrastination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
