The Effectiveness of Cognitive Self-Compassion Training on Improving Self-Determination Needs of cannabis Patients in Dezful

The effects and harmful effects of personal, social and cultural harm and dependence on addiction to cannabis have led the community to prevent, stop and prevent the recurrence of the drug. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive self-management education on improving the self-identification needs (autonomy, competence and perceived relationship) of cannabis patients. The present study is a semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design with control group. The sample consisted of 40 subjects who were randomly selected from among those who were referred to Dezful Health Care Detention Center and were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups (each group was 20). The intervention group received 8 sessions of 90 minutes undergoing cognitive dyslexis training and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The groups completed the scale of self-diagnostic needs of Syribo et al. In the pre-test and post-test phases. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and single-variable (ANCOVA) using SPSS-21 software. The results of covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the two groups. In other words, cognitive self-censorship education has been effective in improving the self-determination needs (autonomy, competence and perceived association) of cannabis patients (P <0.05). Regarding the effect of cognitive self-censorship training on improving the self-determination needs (autonomy, competence and perceived communication), it is recommended that patients with hashish be used by the relevant authorities in the field of addiction and psychologists to use this method to increase the self-determination needs of cannabis patients.
