The Effectiveness of Centrality Therapy Focusing on Compassion for Tolerance, Chronic Pain and Corona's Anxiety in Gorgan Teachers

Anxiety is one of the common symptoms in patients with chronic respiratory disorders, including chrona, which negatively affects health and quality of life by weakening the immune system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment focused on compassion on tolerance, chronic pain and anxiety caused by Corona in Gorgan's teachers in 2022.

The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all the third grade teachers in the city of Gorgan in the academic year 2021-2022, of which 30 people were selected as a sample using available sampling method and randomly placed in 2 experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group received compassion-focused therapy, and the control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. The research tools included Alizadeh Fard et al.'s anxiety questionnaires, McGill's pain and distress tolerance questionnaires by Simmons and Gaher. The research data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance test.

The results showed that the results generally showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the evidence of distress tolerance, chronic pain, and anxiety caused by Corona (P <0.0001). Central treatment focused on compassion is an important factor in increasing distress tolerance and reducing chronic pain and anxiety caused by chrona in teachers.

Based on the results of therapists, counselors, and psychologists, along with other therapies, use the treatment focused on compassion to promote teachers' psychological status.
