Résumé
Self-injurious behavior (SIB), when frequent and repetitive, can lead to risk behaviors resulting in accidental or intentional suicide. Psychoeducation about resourcefulness can be critical to interrupt the cycle of self-injury. Therapeutic puppetry provides a safe and secure vehicle for expressing feelings without fear of retaliation. Determine the outcome of a resourcefulness psychoeducation program, utilizing hand puppets as a teaching tool, on the measure of resourcefulness for adult women who self-injure. A psychoeducation program, utilizing hand puppets as a teaching tool, was offered to women during psychiatric hospitalization. Participants completed the Resourcefulness Scale (RS) pre and post intervention. A program evaluation to determine the effectiveness of hand puppets was completed. Acceptability and feasibility of the program was evaluated. Sixteen participants completed the program. Results showed a statistically insignificant increase in scores. The program evaluation revealed agreement that resourcefulness learning was accomplished. Participants reported that hand puppets were helpful in practicing resourcefulness skills. Majority of participants recommended continuation of the program.

BACKGROUND
Self-injurious behavior (SIB), when frequent and repetitive, can lead to risk behaviors resulting in accidental or intentional suicide. Psychoeducation about resourcefulness can be critical to interrupt the cycle of self-injury. Therapeutic puppetry provides a safe and secure vehicle for expressing feelings without fear of retaliation.
OBJECTIVES
Determine the outcome of a resourcefulness psychoeducation program, utilizing hand puppets as a teaching tool, on the measure of resourcefulness for adult women who self-injure.
METHODS
A psychoeducation program, utilizing hand puppets as a teaching tool, was offered to women during psychiatric hospitalization. Participants completed the Resourcefulness Scale (RS) pre and post intervention. A program evaluation to determine the effectiveness of hand puppets was completed. Acceptability and feasibility of the program was evaluated.
RESULTS
Sixteen participants completed the program. Results showed a statistically insignificant increase in scores. The program evaluation revealed agreement that resourcefulness learning was accomplished. Participants reported that hand puppets were helpful in practicing resourcefulness skills. Majority of participants recommended continuation of the program.
