Abstract: (5 Views)

This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on psychological capital dimensions of patients with hypertension. The present research method was a type of quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test, and a control group design with a two-month follow-up period. The population of this study included patients with hypertension who were referred to Heshmat Hospital in Rasht in 2025. From this population, 45 eligible volunteers were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The research questionnaire was the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (Luthans, 2007) (PCQ). Repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the pre-test scores of the psychological capital variable and its components had a significant difference with the post-test and follow-up scores (P>0.05). Also, the results indicated that there was a significant difference between the two treatments over time (P>0.05), which shows the greater effectiveness of ACT than MBSR. Therefore, it can be concluded that both treatments are effective on psychological capital dimensions in patients with hypertension; But ACT was more effective.
