The statistical population of the study included all female patients with osteoporosis in the city of Isfahan in a period of four months beginning from the third quarter of the year in 2018-19 who referred to private orthopedic clinics. The sample size in the study was 26 patients with osteoporosis who were selected through convenient sampling method and they were randomly replaced into experimental and control groups (13 patients in the experimental and 13 in the control groups). 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.
