Abstract: (77 Views)
Objective: Suicide is an issue of global importance because human life is of the utmost value. When appropriate education and therapeutic interventions are provided to strengthen individuals psychologically, it becomes possible to protect and preserve human life. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of self‑compassion therapy on resilience, coping strategies, and stress among women with a history of suicide attempts.
Methods: The statistical population of this study consisted of all women with suicidal ideation in Neyriz County. A sample of 30 participants was selected using a cluster sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received self‑compassion therapy during eight treatment sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Resilience Questionnaire, Coping Strategies Questionnaire, and Stress Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
Results: The results of the study indicated that self‑compassion therapy had a significant effect on increasing resilience and improving coping strategies, while also reducing stress among women with a history of suicide attempts.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that self‑compassion therapy can be an effective psychological intervention for improving psychological functioning in women with a history of suicide attempts. The use of this therapeutic approach may help many individuals and contribute to improving their overall quality of life.
