Abstract: (1450 Views)

The present research¬ aimed to determine the effectiveness of group acceptance and commitment therapy on the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on cognitive emotion regulation, psychological well-being, and quality of life in the elderly. This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population included all the elderly living in Illam city during 2021. For this aim, 32 of the elderly were chosen through a convenience sampling method along with inclusion criteria and placed randomly into two groups experimental and control (with 16 members). In order to collect data, questionnaires on cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski et al, 2001-CERQ), psychological well-being (Ryff, 2002- RSPWB), and quality questionnaires (BREF-WHOQOL, 1996) were used. The experimental group received treatment based on acceptance and commitment in 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group did not receive any therapeutic intervention. Research data were analyzed using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results of the analysis of covariance showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of dependent variables in the post-test stage (P<0/001). The results showed that group therapy based on acceptance and commitment is effective in reducing, maladaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies and increasing adaptive Cognitive Emotion Regulation strategies for psychological well-being and quality of life in the elderly.
