Comparison of the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and semantic group therapy on reducing depression and increasing resilience and life expectancy in improved patients

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral and semantic group therapy on reducing depression and increasing resilience and life expectancy in patients with Quid 19 in Tehran.

This experimental study was a pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the study includes people who improved from Quid 19 in 1400 in Tehran hospitals. First, 60 people were selected based on available sampling, then based on the scores of Beck Depression Inventory, Connor and Davidson Resilience and Schneider Life expectancy questionnaires, 30 of these people were randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group. One experimental group received 10 sessions of semantic therapy and the second experimental group received 13 sessions of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, but the control group did not receive any intervention.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two cognitive-behavioral group therapies and meaning therapy on reducing depression and increasing resilience and life expectancy in patients improved from Quid 19.

The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy and semantic therapy have been equally effective in reducing depression and have been effective in increasing resilience and life expectancy. Cognitive-behavioral therapy has been effective in increasing resilience and life expectancy.
