ABSTRACT
Introduction: “God made people good, but they have found all kinds of ways to be bad”.The way one acts or conducts oneself, particularly toward others, is referred to as behavior. Good deeds create a better world, and evil deeds create a worse world. Adolescents are the future citizens. It is during adolescence that people shift from childhood to adulthood. They may experience resentment on a daily basis. Injustice, wrongdoing, public humiliation, etc., can all contribute to the emotion. Using them improperly could have an impact on how students behave. Developing healthy habits helps people think more clearly and do all jobs to a very high quality. Practice refers to repeatedly doing something. They will have practice letting go of unpleasant feelings through behavioral therapy. The goal of behavioral therapy, a crucial part of contemporary healthcare, is to improve future citizens' conduct. This paper fills the gap between nursing research and behavioral therapy. School-age children frequently have behavioral issues, which, if untreated, can have detrimental effects on any society.
Methods: In behavioral therapy nursing research targeted at helping teenagers let go of negative emotions and foster positive interpersonal relationships, J.W. Kenny's Open System Model framework acted as a guide. With 180 pupils, experimental pre-test post-test control group design was adopted. Prior to and following behavioral therapy, motivation toward transgression, general well-being, and academic self-efficacy were evaluated. The core ideas of the open system model offered a framework for creating behavioral therapy interventions and structuring the therapy itself.
Results: The study's findings indicated that behavioral therapy interventions could improve students' academic self-efficacy and lessen their wounded sentiments, both of which could foster positive interpersonal interactions in a school setting.
Conclusion: The open system framework opens the door for more thorough and efficient teaching in this crucial area by expanding its applicability to the special difficulties and sensitivities present in academic contexts.
Key words: Behavioral therapy, nursing research, open system model, conceptual framework, hurt feelings, academic self-efficacy, students.
