Abstract:

Background and Aim: Military service is a major change in lifestyle that is inherently stressful. If young men cannot adapt to this period, it can cause psychological disorders or lead to the exacerbation of existing psychological problems, including self-mutilation. Therefore, due to the high prevalence of self-mutilation in this period, it is essential to identify the interventions that prevent or reduce this problem. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Emotional Schema Therapy on improving cognitive emotion regulation in the soldiers with self-mutilation attempts. Methods: This study was conducted following a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study design in 2019. The participants in this study consisted of 20 soldiers who referred to (505 Army Psychiatric Hospital) and were selected using availability sampling assigned to two groups, the experimental group and the control group awaiting treatment (10 in each group). Participants in the experimental group received 10 sessions of Emotional Schema Therapy for 90 minutes per week, and participants in the control group awaiting treatment did not receive any intervention. The instruments used in this study included Inventory of statements about self-injury (ISAS), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Leahy emotional schema scale (LESS), and a researcher-made demographic information questionnaire. The data were analyzed by Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) using SPSS 22 software. Results: The mean ages of the experimental group were 19.70 years, and the mean ages of the control group awaiting treatment were 19.50 years. All participants were male and single. In terms of the level of education, 20% of the participant had not a high-school diploma, and 80% of the participant had a high-school diploma. The results obtained from Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) confirmed the effect of Emotional Schema Therapy on reducing self-mutilation attempts (75%) and increased cognitive emotion regulation (76-89 percent) in soldiers (P<0.01). Conclusion: The results of this study concluded that Emotional Schema Therapy was effective and psychologists in military counseling centers after completing the necessary training courses, use the emotional schema therapy approach to treat and reduce self-mutilation attempts in soldiers.
