Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on chronic pain, resilience and self-care in women with coronary artery disease.
Background. Women with cardiovascular disease have many problems in the field of physical and mental health and one of the effective methods to manage these problems is treatment based on acceptance and commitment.
Method. The study was conducted based on a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with a control group design. The statistical population included all women with coronary artery disease who referred to Tabriz Heart Hospital within six months in late 2019 and early 2020. After reviewing the clinical interview, women were selected to enter the study based on inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to experimental (n=15) and control group (n=15). Data were collected using the Van Korf et al. Chronic Pain Scale, the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, and the Rigel et al. Self-Care Scale. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS version 19.
Findings. The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy had a statistically significant effect on chronic pain, resilience and self-care of women with coronary artery disease. Acceptance and commitment therapy reduces chronic pain and improves and increases resilience and self-care in women with coronary artery disease.
Conclusion. Acceptance and commitment therapy improved resilience and self-care and reduced chronic pain in women with coronary artery disease. It is recommended that therapists and health professionals use acceptance and commitment therapy along with other educational and therapeutic methods to improve health-related characteristics. |
