Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disorder that presents significant psychological challenges for patients worldwide. In such cases, psychological interventions can offer valuable assistance. Therefore, one of the objectives of this study was to assess the impact of Acceptance and Commitment-Based Group Therapy (ACGT) on metacognitive beliefs and treatment adherence in individuals with multiple sclerosis residing in Ahvaz, Iran, in 2020. A purposive sampling method was employed, with 30 participants selected and randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group, each consisting of 15 individuals. Data collection involved the use of the Metacognitive Beliefs questionnaire developed by Wells & Cartwright-Hatton (2004) and the Adherence to Treatment questionnaire by Seyyed Fatemi et al. (2018). This quasi-experimental study followed a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design, including a control group. The experimental group participated in an eight-session, 90-minute Acceptance and Commitment-Based Group Therapy (ACGT), while the control group received no treatment. Data analysis was performed using analysis of covariance. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based group therapy (ACGT) in improving metacognitive beliefs and enhancing treatment adherence in individuals with multiple sclerosis (p < .01). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that this treatment approach can be beneficial for enhancing metacognitive beliefs and promoting treatment adherence in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Abstract

Objective: The overarching objective of the current empirical investigation was to comprehensively forecast the levels of parental self-efficacy, taking into account the dynamics of parent-child interactions as well as the metacognitive beliefs held by mothers specifically raising children who are diagnosed with particular learning disabilities.
Methods: The methodological approach employed in this research was correlational descriptive in nature. The statistical sample for this inquiry comprised 320 mothers of children with learning disabilities residing in Shiraz city during the academic year 2023, who were selected through purposive sampling techniques. The instruments utilized for data collection encompassed Parenting Self-Agency Measure(PSAM), Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS), and Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ). The data underwent analysis utilizing the SPSS-24 statistical software.
Results: The findings of the regression analysis indicated that both parent-child interactions and the metacognitive beliefs of mothers serve as significant direct predictors of their levels of parental self-efficacy.
Conclusions: The results predominantly endorse the significance of cognitive and emotional frameworks within parents as determinants of parental self-efficacy.
