Abstract: (83 Views)

The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of compassion-focused acceptance and commitment group therapy on self-critical rumination, interpersonal hopelessness, and distress tolerance in adolescents with suicidal ideation. The research method was a quasi-experimental one with a pretest-posttest design and a control group with a 1-month follow-up phase. The statistical population included adolescents with suicidal thoughts who referred to counseling and psychological service centers in Kuhchenar in 2024. Based on the inclusion criteria, 30 adolescents were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental (15 individuals) and control (15 individuals) groups. To collect data, the Self-Critical Rumination Scale (SCRS; Smart et al., 2016), Interpersonal Hopelessness Scale (IHS; Tucker et al., 2018), and Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS; Simons & Gaher, 2005) were used. The experimental group participated in eight 90-minute sessions held weekly. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis. The results showed that there were significant differences in the scores of self-critical rumination, interpersonal hopelessness, and distress tolerance in the experimental group from pretest to posttest and from pretest to follow-up (P<0.05). In conclusion, compassion-focused acceptance and commitment group therapy appears to have played a meaningful role in improving the psychological condition of adolescents with suicidal ideation. The intervention seems to have facilitated positive changes by reducing negative psychological components and strengthening coping abilities, with these effects remaining stable over time.
