Psychologists consider the integration of the individual psychologically and socially in his social environment and the individual’s self-care is the most important indicators of mental health. integration refers to a harmonious relationship between the individual and the environment he lives in, the individual can satisfy his psychological and social needs, then the family and social environment is the effective world in achieving the psychosocial integration of the individual due to the nature of the handlings and interactions within the family, which in turn reflects on the psychological integration of the individual outside his family into the society he lives in. These variables have been given countless attention by researchers, especially among individuals who have been suffering from trauma. The researcher has selected ISIS survivors as a sample for undertaking this dissertation as their hardships were noticeable during researcher’s work with some organizations. The self-concept and self-care constitute one of the dimensions of mental health. Self-care refers to the individual’s awareness of his being and then caring for it, self-development occurs because of maturity and learning, so the positive self-concept is a manner of the individual’s self-esteem, appreciation, and caring for oneself. Then self-realization, also, it reflects on his behavior either positively or negatively. This indicates the extent in which an individual relishes mental health. The researcher in this dissertation aims to identify the following: 1- The levels of psychosocial integration and self-care for the Yazidi survivors as a whole then extracting the significance of the differences between the arithmetic averages in terms of their hypothetical averages before applying the cognitive psychological program behavioral. 2- The levels of psychosocial integration of the Yazidi survivors as a whole according to the demographic variables (educational level, years of stay in the hands of ISIS, the sequence of the survivor in the family, financial status, marital status, age, number of children) then extracting the significance of the differences between the arithmetic averages in terms of their hypothetical averages before applying the cognitive psychological program behavioral 3- The levels of self-care among Yazidi survivors as a whole according to the demographic variables (educational level, years of stay in the hands of ISIS, the sequence of the survivor in the family, financial status, marital status, age, number of children) then extracting the significance of the differences between the arithmetic averages in terms of their hypothetical averages before applying the cognitive psychological program behavioral. 4- The levels of psychosocial integration and self-care of the Yazidi survivors as a whole then extracting the significance of the differences between the arithmetic averages and the hypothesis after applying the cognitive-behavioral psychological program. 5- The levels of psychosocial integration of the survivors as a whole and according to the demographic variables (educational level, years of stay in the hands of ISIS, family member sequence, financial status, marital status, age, number of children) then extracting the significance of the differences after applying the cognitive-behavioral psychological program. 6- The levels of self-care among the Yazidi survivors as a whole according to the demographic variables (educational level, years of stay in the hands of ISIS, family member sequence, financial status, marital status, age, number of children) and extracting the significance of the differences after applying the cognitive-behavioral psychological program. 7- The researcher also aims to verify the null and alternative hypotheses of the dissertation, from which the null hypothesis refers to: A- There are no statistically significant differences in the average scores between the pre and post-tests of the psychosocial integration variable. That is, there is no effect of the cognitive-behavioral program on the development of psychosocial integration. B- There are no statistically significant differences in the average scores of the survivors between the two tests, pre and post tests for the self-care variable, that is, there is no significant effect of the cognitive-behavioral program on the development of self-care. C- As for the alternative hypothesis in both cases, it indicates there is a significant effect of the cognitive-behavioral program on the development of psychosocial integration and self-care among the Yazidi survivors, meaning there are statistically significant differences between the two tests, the pre-test and the post-test, in favor of the post-test. 8- The correlation between psychosocial integration and self-care before and after applying the program. To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher prepared two scales, one of them is for psychosocial integration, which in its final form consisted of (46)items, and the other for self-care having (32)items. The researcher also prepared a cognitive-behavioral psychological program based on the cognitive-behavioral theory, where the number of sessions with a sample of survivors reached (24) sessions after presenting the program to a group of specialized experts in this field. The research community included women and girls who survived ISIS families and who live in camps in the Dohuk governorate in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq. The number of survivors in Qadia camp were (86) survivors. Qadia camp for the displaced from Shingal city was identified as a model because the residents of Qadia camp from the villages of Kojo and Tel Azir are the most affected, where they were tortured and killed by ISIS terrorists, and then they were displaced to several areas. The basic research sample consisted of (20) survivors from Qadia camp, who were subjected to the conditions of participation with them in the sessions after obtaining the fundamental approvals from them After processing the data statistically using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS(1)), the results of the research showed the following: 1- The Yazidi female survivors of ISIS families did not enjoy a significant level of psychosocial integration and self-care before applying the cognitive-behavioral program. 2- According to the demographic variables (educational level, years of staying in the hands of ISIS, family hierarchy, material condition, marital status, age, and number of children), the results showed that the Yazidi survivors do not have a significant level of psychosocial integration, which indicates that the Yazidi survivors before the implementation of the program did not enjoy integration. social psycho. 3- Also, the results showed, according to demographic variables (educational level, years of stay in the hands of ISIS, the hierarchy of the individual in the family, material condition, marital status, age, and number of children) that the Yazidi survivors do not enjoy a significant level of self-care, meaning that the Yazidi survivors before the implementation of the program did not take care of themselves. 4- The cognitive-behavioral psychological program used in this research has a positive impact on the development of psychosocial integration and self-care among Yazidi survivors. 5- There are significant differences between the arithmetic means and the hypothesis according to the demographic variables of psychosocial integration in favor of the arithmetic means after applying the program. 6- There are significant differences between the arithmetic means and the hypothesis according to the demographic variables of self-care in favor of the arithmetic means after applying the program. 7- There appeared a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05) between the two tests in favor of the post-test, meaning that the cognitive-behavioral psychological program used in this research had a significant effect on the development of psychosocial integration and self-care for a sample of Yazidi survivors from ISIS families. 8- There is a statistically significant direct relationship between psychosocial integration and self-care among the Yazidi survivors of ISIS families after the application of the program, while this relationship did not appear statistically significant between the two variables before the application of the program, which indicates that the cognitive-behavioral program has an impact in strengthening the levels of the two variables among Therefore, in strengthening the relationship between the two variables directly and statistically, the greater the psychosocial integration of the sample, the greater their self-care. And vice versa. According to the results of the dissertation, the researcher presented a set of recommendations to the concerned parties and suggestions for researchers to conduct further studies in the future.
