Abstract
Abstract
Background: Studies in Iran show that 0.2% of children and adolescents under 15 suffer from cancer. Having a child with cancer, the family is facing a lot of challenges for the mother and causes parents to spend a lot of energy and money on the child. In many cases, the pressure from child care seems to increase to the extent that the mental health of parents has undergone a destructive change and, as a result, affects the care of these children. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of group-based schema therapy and Mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the resilience of mothers of children with cancer.
Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental design was a pretest-posttest with control group. The statistical population of this study was all mothers of children with cancer in Taleghani Children's Hospital of Gorgan during the first half of 1397, 30 mothers were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups of test and one control group. Based on the protocol developed Experimental groups participated in Schema Therapy sessions (12 sessions) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program (8 sessions). Control group subjects received no treatment or intervention. The research tool was a questionnaire of 25 questioners by Conner and Davidson (2003). Data were analyzed using SPSS software, descriptive statistics and one-variable covariance analysis.
Results: The findings of this study showed that the F value for the resilience variable at the post-test stage at the significant level P <0.05 was significant. In other words, the effect of Schema Therapy technique on resiliency Obtained (F = 109.35, P <0.001) And the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction technique training on resilience Obtained (F = 35.46, P <0.001), Which represents Significant changes in the research process in the experimental groups and The efficacy of the two treatments was similar.
Conclusion: Schema therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction programs Led to increase resilience in the experimental group in the post-test phase. As a result, we can use schema therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction programs as useful interventions on resiliency in mothers of children with cancer.
