This study used a pre-post test matching technique experimental design follow up by content analysis. Results showed that the experimental group had a decreased level of grief relative to the control group, the texts showed an interested result to be further discussed.ĪB - The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of expressive writing on the level of one’s grief through a sequential design (expressive writing experiments for 3 consecutive days for 15 minutes each days then an analysis of the participant’s writing contents was conducted). Randomized matching technique was use to divide participant into experimental (expressive writing) and control (non-expressive writing).The baseline score measured by the complicated grieving inventory of >25 (Prigereson, 1995). The total number of participants (both in the experimental and control groups) was 30 (M-age = 21.2 SD = 1.2), lost their parents more than six month. N2 - The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of expressive writing on the level of one’s grief through a sequential design (expressive writing experiments for 3 consecutive days for 15 minutes each days then an analysis of the participant’s writing contents was conducted). T1 - Expressive writing changes grief into meaning – a sequential explanatory design approach
