Abstract: (11 Views)
The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on difficulties in emotion regulation and sleep quality in women with asthma. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control groups and a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population included female patients with asthma who attended the Allergy Diseases Specialty Clinic of Imam Ali Hospital in Karaj in 2024. Using a purposive sampling method, 45 participants were selected and randomly assigned to three groups: experimental group 1 (n=15), experimental group 2 (n=15), and control group (n=15). Data were collected using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz and Roemer, 2004) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; Buysse et al., 1989). Each experimental group received eight weekly group intervention sessions. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that the scores of emotion regulation difficulties and sleep quality differed significantly across the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages (p<0.01). The findings also indicated that there was no significant difference between the two therapy groups over time (p>0.05). Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that both interventions are effective in improving emotion regulation difficulties and sleep quality in women with asthma.
