Methods An 8-week spirituality-focused group work was conducted and selected via a randomized controlled sampling method. Results For the sense of alienation, a significant main effect of time ( F = 23.03, p < .01, partial η 2 = .56, 95% CI [0.20, 0.72]), a significant effect for groups ( F = 8.82, p < .01, partial η 2 = .33, 95% CI [0.03, 0.57]) were observed. The interaction effect between the sense of alienation over time and the group was also found ( F = 8.82, p = .27, partial η 2 = .07, 95% CI [0.30, 0.78]).
