The purpose of this study was to the comparison of the effectiveness of semantic cognitive reconstruction therapy and self-encouragement therapy on chronic fatigue in people with psychosomatic skin. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. The statistical population of the study included people with psychosomatic skin who were referred to Bank Meli hospital and had a medical record in fall 2020. Among them, 45 people were selected by purposive sampling and randomly replaced in a control group (waiting for treatment) and two experimental groups (15 people in each group). The subjects of the first and second experimental groups received semantic cognitive reconstruction therapy (during 12 sessions) and self-encouragement therapy (during 10 sessions), respectively. the control group (waiting for treatment) did not receive any intervention. For data collection, the Interpersonal chronic fatigue CFS (Chalder, 1993) was used. Data were analyzed by analysis of covariance and LSD. The results showed that semantic cognitive reconstruction therapy significantly decreased chronic fatigue (F=89.47, p=0.0004). Also, self-encouragement therapy significantly decreased chronic fatigue (F=66.12, p=0.0009). The results also showed that self-encouragement therapy has a greater effect on chronic fatigue (F = 66.12 and p <0.05) than semantic cognitive reconstruction therapy. According to the results of the present study, self-encouragement therapy can be used to decrease chronic fatigue more effectively than semantic cognitive reconstruction therapy in people with psychosomatic skin.
