The Comparison of the Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Music Therapy and Relaxed Behavioral Therapy in Improving the Resilience of Coronary Artery Disease Patients

Although progress has been made in the treatment of cardiac patients in the last two decades, the prevalence of coronary heart disease is on the rise. Also, factors such as social stress, conflict and hostile behavior can lead to abnormal coronary artery contractions, increased coronary artery occlusion, malignant heart rate abnormalities, and consequently, cardiac failure. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of non-prescriptive CBT, tone and musical therapy in the resilience of coronary artery disease patients.

In this research, a pseudo-experimental design was used with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of the study included all patients with coronary artery disease who were hospitalized in Imam Ali Hospital in Kermanshah in 2017-2018. Sampling in this study was carried out in two stages. A sample of 50 eligible individuals was selected. The data gathering tool was the Conor and Davidson self-report questionnaire. The data were analyzed using MANOVA and MANCOVA in SPSS20 software.

The results of the study showed that the three therapeutic methods had a favorable effect on the patients' vibration, but CBT treatments had a more favorable effect on patients' resilience. After CBT, relaxation had the greatest impact on patient's resilience.

The effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in increasing the resilience of coronary artery disease patients is more than music therapy and behavioral relaxation.
