A program evaluation study was conducted to determine if a group psychoeducation course would improve wellness scores in subjects with trauma-related disorders. The sample consisted of 10 men age 20–65 years and 44 women age 20–66 years. Levels of wellness were evaluated using the Wellness Assessment Tool [International Journal of Psychiatric Nursing Research, 3(1) (1996), 308–317] that evaluates 10 wellness items in each of the four domains: health, attitudes/behavior, environment/relationship, and spirituality. Paired sample correlations showed statistically significant correlations among 37 of the 50 pairs, ranging from .524 in the health scores to .830 in spirituality. The paired t tests also showed significant differences at P = .05 in each of the wellness domains. Subjects felt an improvement in overall health, a decrease in interpersonal conflict, a stronger sense of spirituality, and improvement in environmental control and interpersonal relationships.

Conclusions The results of the study must be interpreted with caution given the purposeful sample, the small sample size, and the pilot nature of the study. Yet, the results of the data analysis hold implications for future investigations and clinical practice. The analysis of the data indicated that the subjects in this study reported a significant change in many areas of health. During the initial stages of the BE SMART psychoeducation program, the participants felt that many aspects of health, such as spirituality, attitudes/behavior, and psychiatric symptoms, were independent of each other. Over the course of the program, the data suggest that the participants began to increase various wellness components such as increasing exercise and improving nutrition, thus beginning to integrate various wellness components, and report an increase in their overall health. As integration of wellness components occurred, the subject reported a marked improvement in their overall wellness as well as an improved level of functioning.
