Abstract: (223 Views)
The present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy based on compassion and mentalization on the shame of mothers of children with trainable intellectual disability in Farsan city. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and control group design with a 3-month follow-up period. The statistical population included the mothers of children with educational intellectual disabilities in Farsan city in the second half of 2023. 45 of them were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to 3 groups (15 people in each group). The measurement tools were the Internalized Shame Questionnaire (ISS; Cook, 1987) and Clinical Interview (CI; American Psychiatric Association, 2022). The first experimental group received 8 90-minute sessions of mindfulness therapy based on compassion, and the second experimental group received 8 90-minute sessions of mentalization therapy. Research data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures. The results showed that the pre-test shame scores were significantly different from the post-test and follow-up scores (P<0.01). The results also indicated that both treatments produced significant changes in shame compared to the control group (P<0.01); while it was found that mentalization therapy produced a more significant difference than compassion-based mindfulness therapy over time (P<0.05). Overall, it can be concluded that both treatments, and especially mentalization therapy, are effective in improving shame.
