Effectiveness of the TSL (Thank you, Sorry, and Love) program for adaptability of military children

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the TSL (Thank you, Sorry, and Love) program in enhancing the adaptability of military children in the Republic of Korea. A total of 30 military children were selected as participants and assigned to three groups: an experimental group receiving the TSL program, a comparison group receiving a resilience program, and a control group. Measures of adaptability (including resilience, perceived stress, depression, family function, and school adaptation) were administered to the military children at pre, post, and follow-up stages. The results reveal significant differences in adaptability between the TSL program participants and the other groups' participants at the post-intervention and follow-up assessments. These findings suggest that the TSL program has the potential to effectively enhance the adaptability of military children and maintain their adaptive capacities across various domains in the long term.
