Abstract

Introduction: Skin diseases, not only may have physical consequences
but also costly psychological consequences in one’s life. The present
study was conducted to compare the effect of group counseling with the
approaches of Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and
Commitment Therapy (ACT) on the internalized shame of patients with
vitiligo.
Material & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test
and post-test design and follow-up and control groups. The study
population consisted of all women with vitiligo who were referred to
Razi Hospital, in Tehran, in 1399. A total of 45 persons who met the
inclusion criteria were purposefully selected and randomly divided into 3
groups of 15 people each (two experimental groups and one control
group). The study tool included Cook's Internalized Shame Scale (1993).
Descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance was
used to test the research hypotheses. The data were analyzed using SPSS
software (version 20).
(Ethic code: R.IAU.SRB.REC.1399.125)
Findings: Both CFT and ACT therapeutic approaches were effective in
reducing internalized shame in patients with vitiligo, compared to the
control group. A comparison of the two approaches showed no
significant differences between the two experimental groups of CFT and
ACT in terms of all components of shyness, self-esteem, and internalized
shame.
Discussion & Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, the above-
mentioned treatments can be used to improve the psychological status of
patients with vitiligo.

Abstract

Introduction: Psychosomatic experts have tried to associate mental disorders to physical illnesses. The vulnerability of different parts of the body is thought to depend on fundamental differences between individuals. One of the methods that seems to affect the psychological problems of asthma patients is acceptance and commitment therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance- and commitment-based therapy on resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy in asthmatic patients.

Methods: This quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test study was conducted on 30 asthmatic patients who were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups according to the inclusion criteria. Acceptance and commitment therapy sessions were based on the treatment package of Hayes et al. in 8 sessions of 60 minutes on the experimental group and no intervention was performed on the control group. All participants took part in the pre-test and post-test. Collection tools included Conner-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, Schneider Life expectancy, and Ryf Psychological Well-being.

Results: The results showed a significant difference in the components of resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy in asthmatic patients before and after the experiment (p <0.05). In other words, acceptance and commitment-based therapy had a positive effect on resilience, psychological well-being and life expectancy in asthmatic patients and these components have increased in patients.

Conclusion: Findings showed that acceptance- and commitment-based therapy was effective on resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy of asthmatic patients. This treatment is suggested to be used in conjunction with drug therapy to improve the psychological symptoms of asthmatic patients.

Abstract

Act is one of the third generation therapies in which there is trying to alter the one ̓s relationship with his or her thoughts and feelings instead of changing the cognitions. The aim of this research is to evaluate the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on reducing depression and anxiety in infertile women who undergoing In vitro fertilization (IVF). ACT has not used for reducing anxiety and depression in pregnant women before. In this study Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest and follow up with control group was used. Among women who had primary or secondary infertility, undergoing IVF, and were at 14-22 weeks gestational age, available sampling was conducted. 35 women with above feature, assigned to experiment (17) and control (18) groups randomly. SCID and BDI-II and BAI were used for assessing depression and anxiety; before the intervention and after it; and all of them repeated one month after ending the intervention. The experimental group participated in 8sessions of ACT, which lasted 90 minutes weekly; while control group didn't undergo any training. To examine the hypothesis, mixed analysis of variance between - the subjects (SPANOVA) was used. Analysis of mixed variance of the effects between-groups for depression and anxiety showed the significant level was less than 0/05. Thus with 95% reliability, it can be resulted that Act was effective for decreasing of depression and anxiety in experimental group. The results indicated by creating psychological flexibility, ACT decreased depression and anxiety in pregnant women who undergoing IVF significantly. This reduction remained one month after ending of intervention.
It seems acceptance and commitment therapy as a complementary treatment, in addition to medical treatments for infertility, improves the health of the mother and fetus during pregnancy and can have an important role.
