Abstract
Kenya experienced post-election violence in 2007/2008; leaving 1,113 people dead and over 650,000 people displaced from their homes with untold traumatic suffering. The purpose of this study was to assess effectiveness of Virginia Satir’s Model in trauma recovery of 2007/08 Post Election Violence Integrated Internally Displaced Persons in Thika Sub County in Kiambu County, Kenya. The study used quasiexperimental research design using Solomon’s Four Non – equivalent Control Group Design. The researcher sampled 125 participants from the accessible 240 Integrated Internally Displaced Persons from Kiandutu, Kiganjo, Gachagi and Umoja slum study group villages. These IIDPs had tested positive for posttraumatic stress disorder after a baseline survey by a local non - governmental organization in Thika Sub County in 2012. The control groups were taken through regular counseling model while the experimental groups were exposed to Virginia Satir’s Model. Quantitative methods of data analysis involving the use of Analysis of Variance and ttest were used to list statistical significant difference within and among means in the posttest scores for the groups. Computations were conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21 for windows. The researcher established that Virginia Satir’s Model was as an effective intervention model for enhancing rational thinking among the IIDPs in Thika Sub County.
