<![CDATA[Families of patients with violent behavior may experience mental health issues, such as stress due to the prolonged period of patient care and the heavy burden of caregiving, leading to feelings of uncertainty. Uncertainty about the disease becomes more pronounced as individuals confront it for extended period, making one’s life more unstable. The state of intolerance to uncertainty is closely related to the patient’s tendency for violent behavior which is difficult to predict. This study aims to investigate the effect of happy spiritual intervention on intolerance of uncertainty in families of patients with violent behavior. This study used a pre-posttest quasi-experimental design with a control group. Purposive sampling was utilized to recruit 50 respondents who were divided into two groups. The intervention group received six sessions of happy spiritual intervention using the family heart connection (FAMCY) application which included guidelines for implementing the therapy. The collected data were analyzed using a t-test to analyze the effect of the happy spiritual intervention on intolerance of uncertainty in the patient’s family. The results indicated a significant difference in intolerance of uncertainty between the two groups after the intervention was administered (p = 0.001). The intervention group exhibited a lower mean value (70.44) in comparison to the control group (80.44). The happy spiritual intervention has a significant effect on reducing intolerance of uncertainty in families dealing with violent behavior.]]>
