The experimental group received ninety-minute therapeutic interventions related to mindfulness during two months once a week while the control group didn’t receive any psychological intervention during the study. Then the people in both groups took the posttest. The follow-up stage was administered after 45 days. The applied instruments included, pain catastrophizing scale (Solivan, et.al, 1995) and Petersbourg sleeping quality questionnaire (Boys, Reynolds, Bermen and Kopfer, 1989). After collecting questionnaires and extracting raw data, data analysis of this study was done via SPSS23 by descriptive statistics and repeated measurements ANOVA.
Finding: The results of the study showed that Mindfulness Therapyhas significant effect on sleeping quality (0.77) and pain catastrophizing (0.83) in the women with osteoporosis (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on this, we can use mindfulness therapy to improve the sleeping quality and pain catastrophizing in patients with osteoporosis.
