Abstract:

Background: 

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a short-term and structured intervention approach that has a favorable research background. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of MBCT on negative automatic thought, psychological symptoms, severity of pain and quality of life in female patients with fibromyalgia. 

Methods:

 In a randomized controlled trial, from February to October 2021, 20 patients with fibromyalgia were selected using purposive sampling method and assigned into two experimental and control groups through block randomization. MBCT was presented to the participants in the experimental group in eight sessions and the control group was placed on a waiting list. Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), Pain Intensity Questionnaire (PIS), Psychological Symptoms Questionnaire (anxiety, stress and depression) (DASS), and Automatic Negative Thoughts Questionnaire (QNS) were completed by the participants in two stages (pre-test and post-test). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS version 26. 

Results:

 Preliminary results showed that MBCT had a significant effect on the severity of pain index and psychological symptoms (all’s <0.05). Secondary results also indicated that this therapeutic intervention was effective in reducing negative automatic thought and improving the quality of life (all’s<0.05). 

Conclusion: 

Findings of this study in line with the research background showed the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach on psychological indices in female patients with fibromyalgia, although additional studies in this field are suggested.
