Abstract:   (671 Views)
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two group therapies, namely Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), on post-traumatic growth in patients with multiple sclerosis. The study followed an experimental-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test approach and included a control group. A total of 45 patients were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group, with each group comprising 15 individuals. Data was collected using post-traumatic growth inventory (Tedeschi and Calhoun, 1996). The findings revealed that both the group therapy based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) were effective in promoting post-traumatic growth. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two therapies in improving post-traumatic growth in patients with multiple sclerosis (p > 0.05). These results have important implications for psychologists and counselors involved in the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals with multiple sclerosis.
