چکیده

مقدمه: زنان مطلقه با مشکلات فراوانی در زمینه سلامت مواجه هستند و نیازمند مداخلات روان‌شناختی می‌باشند. هدف پژوهش حاضر، مقایسه اثربخشی درمان پذیرش و تعهد با شفقت درمانی بر افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی در زنان مطلقه بود.
مواد و روش‌ها: این مطالعه نیمه ­تجربی با طرح پیش‌آزمون و پس‌آزمون با گروه کنترل انجام شد. جامعه پژوهش زنان مطلقه مراجعه‌کننده به مراکز مشاوره شهر اهواز در سال 1398 بودند که 60 نفر از آنان با روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند انتخاب و با روش تصادفی در سه گروه مساوی جایگزین شدند. هر یک از گروه‌های آزمایش به مدت 8 جلسه 90 دقیقه‌ای تحت درمان پذیرش و تعهد، و شفقت درمانی قرار گرفتند. داده‌ها با مقیاس‌های افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی جمع‌آوری و با روش‌های مجذور کای، تحلیل کوواریانس چند متغیری و آزمون تعقیبی بونفرونی تحلیل شدند.
یافته‌ها: گروه‌های آزمایش و کنترل از نظر سطح تحصیلات، سن، تعداد فرزند و مدت طلاق تفاوت معنی‌داری نداشتند. درمان پذیرش و تعهد و شفقت درمانی در مقایسه با گروه کنترل باعث کاهش افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی در زنان مطلقه شدند (001/0>p)، اما بین دو روش درمانی در کاهش افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی تفاوت معنی‌داری وجود نداشت.
نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج نشان‌دهنده اثربخشی هر دو روش درمانی در کاهش افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی بود. بنابراین، درمانگران و متخصصان سلامت می‌توانند از این روش­ها جهت بهبود ویژگی‌های مرتبط با سلامت به‌ویژه کاهش افکار خودآیند منفی و احساس تنهایی استفاده کنند.

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Divorced women face many health-related problems and require psychological intervention. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-focused therapy on negative automatic thoughts and feeling of loneliness in divorced women.
Materials and Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest design with the control group. The research population included the divorced women admitted to counseling centers in Ahvaz in 2019, among whom 60 subjects were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to three equal groups. Each experimental group was treated using acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-focused therapy for 8 sessions of 90 minutes. Data were collected in pre-test and post-test stages with negative automatic thoughts and feelings of loneliness scales and analyzed by methods of chi-square, multivariate analysis of covariance, and Bonferroni post hoc test.
Results: The findings showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of education level, age, number of children, and duration of divorce (p<0.05). Moreover, compared with the control group, acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-focused therapy led to reduction in negative automatic thoughts and feelings of loneliness in divorced women (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two methods in reducing negative automatic thoughts and feelings of loneliness (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results indicated the effectiveness of both treatment methods in reducing negative automatic thoughts and feelings of loneliness. Therefore, therapists and health experts can use both methods to improve health-related traits, especially to reduce negative automatic thoughts and feelings of loneliness.
