چکیده

پیش­ زمینه و هدف: در سال های اخیر چاقی و اضافه وزن به یک تهدید مهم بهداشت عمومی در سراسر جهان تبدیل شده است. این پژوهش با هدف بررسی اثربخشی روان درمانی مثبت نگر بر باورهای اختلال خوردن، ناگویی هیجانی و کاهش وزن در زنان دارای اضافه وزن انجام شد.
مواد و روش­ها: طرح پژوهش نیمه آزمایشی از نوع پیش آزمون – پس آزمون با گروه کنترل و مرحله پیگیری بود. جامعه آماری شامل زنان دارای اضافه وزن مراجعه کننده به کلینیک های تغذیه در شهر ارومیه در سال 1398 بود. آزمودنی ها با استفاده از ملاک های ورود غربال شدند. از بین آ­ن ها نمونه ای به حجم 30 نفر به روش نمونه گیری در دسترس انتخاب شدند و به صورت تصادفی در دو گروه 15 نفره جای گرفتند. برای گروه آزمایش، آموزش روان­درمانی مثبت­نگر در 8 جلسه 1ساعته براساس دستورالعمل سلیگمن و رشید (2008)  ارائه شد، در حالیکه گروه کنترل هیچ آموزشی دریافت نکردند. ابزار پژوهش شامل محاسـبه تـوده بـدنی،که با تقسیم وزن (برحسب کیلوگرم) بر مجذور قد (برحسب متر) اندازه گیری شد، مقیاس ناگویی هیجانی تورنتو  ( TAS-20)  و پرسشنامه باورهای اختلال خوردن (EDBQ) بود.
یافته­ها: نتایج حاکی از تاثیر معنادار روان درمانی مثبت نگر بر کاهش وزن، باورهای اختلال خوردن و ناگویی هیجانی در زنان دارای اضافه وزن بود.
بحث و نتیجه ­گیری: با توجه به نتایج بدست آمده می­توان برای کاهش وزن، باورهای اختلال خوردن و ناگویی هیجانی از روان درمانی مثبت نگر استفاده کرد. لذا به درمانگران پیشنهاد می گردد که این مداخله در درمان اضافه وزن و چاقی به کار گرفته شود.

چکیده [English]

Background and Aim: In recent years, obesity and overweight have become a major public health threat over the world. This research has aimed at investigating the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on eating disorder beliefs, Alexithymia and weight loss in overweight women.
Materials & Methods:
The research design was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group and follow-up stage. The statistical population included overweight women referring to nutrition clinics in Urmia in 1398. Subjects were screened using the inclusion criteria. Among them, a sample of 30 people was selected by available sampling method and randomly   divided into two groups of 15 people. For the experimental group, positivist psychotherapy training was provided in 8, 1-hour sessions according to the instructions of Seligman and Rashid (2008), while the control group did not receive any training. The research instruments included body mass index (BMI) which was measured by dividing weight (in kilograms) by height squared (in meters), Toronto Alexithymia Scale ( TAS-20)  and Eating Disorders Beliefs Questionnaire (EDBQ).
Results: The results showed that positive psychotherapy has significant impacts on weight loss, eating disorders beliefs and   alexithymia in obese and overweight women.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, positive psychotherapy can be used for weight loss, eating disorders beliefs and Alexithymia. Therefore, it is suggested that this intervention applies for overweight and obesity treatment.
