The Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy on Quality of Life in Patients with Functional Indigestion
Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy on Quality of Life in Patients with Functional Indigestion in Arak, in 2018.
The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with experimental and control group. The statistical population was all women with functional dyspepsia in Arak who were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly assigned into two experimental (n = 12 and control (n = 12) groups. Finally, each group was 11. The experimental group received cognitive-behavioral group intervention in eight 90-minute sessions and the control group remained on the waiting list. The measuring tool used in the study was the Quality of Life Nippen (1998) Questionnaire. Data analysis was done by SPSS22 software in two parts: descriptive and inferential (covariance).
The results showed that the intervention in the experimental group increased the quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia. Also, comparing the means of the experimental and control groups, it can be concluded that the intervention in the experimental group increases the quality of life components including stress and worry, interference with daily activities, eating and drinking disorder, disease awareness and feeling. Controlling for and interfering with work and education has been functional in patients with dyspepsia.
cognitive behavioral group therapy is an effective way to improve the quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia.
