Introduction

Although war finished years ago, disabled veterans’ families, especially their wives, are still suffering from a lot of physical and psychological problems, which can seriously affect their well-being. The present study aimed to examine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) approach on the resiliency and quality of life among disabled veterans’ wives with PTSD.

Method

In the present semi-experimental study, a pretest and a posttest were administered to the experimental and control groups, and the follow-up phase was carried out a month later. The statistical population included all the psychiatric disabled veterans’ wives with PTSD in Kuhdasht, Iran. A sample of 51 subjects was selected and randomly divided into 3 group .13 individuals were randomly assigned into the acceptance and commitment therapy group, 13 into the mindfulness-based cognitive therapy group, and 15 into the control group. WHOQOL- BREF and CD-RISC questionnaires were employed as the data collection instruments.

Results

The results of the present study revealed that ACT and MBCT approaches enhanced the participants’ scores in resiliency and quality of life (p<0.01). The results of one-month follow-up study further indicated that the effect remained unchanged (p<0.01). Both interventions were affective and a comparison of the two approaches indicated that ACT has more efficiency.

Discussion

The results of the present study showed that both ACT and MBCT approaches enhanced resiliency and quality of life among the disabled veterans’ wives with PTSD.
