Abstract: (71 Views)
Objective: Type 2 diabetes is an endocrine disease, the management of which is considered one of the necessities of medical science. Therefore, in recent years, improving the psychological security (PS) of these patients has been the focus of therapists. Group cognitive behavioral therapy (GCBT) is one of the common methods to improve PS. The present study aims to investigate the effects of GCBT on the PS in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: The current study was a quasi-experimental and a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The sample included 30 elderly female patients with T2DM who visited a counseling center in Fariman City, Iran. Subjects were selected using the convenience sampling method. The study was conducted during August-September 2023. The subjects were assigned randomly into test (15) and control (15) groups. The test group received eight sessions of GCBT (90 minutes). Data were collected using Maslow’s psychosocial security questionnaire, at the pre-test and post-test.
Results: The results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) indicated that GCBT significantly increased the PS in patients with T2DM (P≤0.05). GCBT was effective in improving the PS of the patients with T2DM.
Conclusion: This method can be used by psychiatrists and healthcare providers to enhance PS in patients with T2DM. The GCBT intervention with the protocol used in this study is effective in increasing PS in patients with T2DM. Therefore, GCBT can be used along with drug treatments for patients with T2DM. In addition, it is recommended that planners design programs to improve the PS of patients with T2DM based on this research.
