Comparison of a combination of acceptance and commitment-based therapy and self-compassion training and emotion oriented cognitive-behavioral therapy on self-care and adherence to treatment in icardiovascular patients

Introduction Heart disease and its psychological complications are known to be the most important causes of mortality in the world. Compares in heart patients.

The present study was a pre-test, post-test with a control group. The statistical population included a number of women with heart disease in Khorramabad in 1399, of whom 45 were available ( 15 people in the first group 15 people in the second group 15 people in the control group) Intervention in the two treatment groups was held separately in 10 sessions of 90 minutes each and no training was applied for the control group. The instrument of this study was the 12-item self-care scale developed by Jarsma and the 20-item treatment follow-up (5 general follow-up questions and 15 specific follow-up questions) developed by Hayes. The test answered its questions and multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data.

The combination of acceptance and commitment-based therapy and self-compassion training and emotion-oriented cognitive-behavioral therapy improves self-care and adherence to treatment in women with cardiovascular disease (p <0.05) and percentage Their improvement was higher than the control group (p <0.05). But the two experimental groups were not significantly different (P <0.05).

The combination of acceptance and commitment-based therapy and self-compassion training and emotion-oriented cognitive-behavioral therapy leads to continuity and management in self-care, symptom detection and adherence to physician recommendations in women with cardiovascular disease.
