Abstract: (117 Views)
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on resilience in adolescents undergoing methadone treatment. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population comprised adolescents receiving methadone treatment at addiction rehabilitation centers in Bushehr during the first half of 2024. 60 people were purposefully selected from the aforementioned population; this study had two experimental groups and a control group, each of which had 20 people randomly selected. Data were collected using the Resilience Scale (RISC-CD; Connor & Davidson, 2003). The first experimental group received eight sessions of MBCT, while the second received ten sessions of tDCS. Data analysis was conducted using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The findings showed that by controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference at the 0.05 level between the mean posttest of resilience in the experimental and control groups. In addition, the findings showed a significant difference at the 0.05 level in the posttest resilience scores of the experimental group. Overall, it can be concluded that MBCT was more effective than tDCS in increasing resilience among adolescents undergoing methadone treatment.
