تأثیر آموزش راهبردهای شناختی مبتنی بر ذهن‌آگاهی بر خودکارآمدی بیماران معتاد تحت درمان

The present study was carried out aiming at investigating the efficacy of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness on self-efficacy of addicts under treatment. This research has a quasi-experimental design and enjoys a pre-test, post-test, and a control group. The research population included all addicts under treatment in registered treatment and rehabilitation centers in Bojnourd, a city north east of Iran. To prepare the sample, 100 individuals were selected at random. They completed Sherer & Maddux General Self-Efficacy Scale. The final sample consisted of 30 individuals with lowest scores in the GSES. The subjects were randomly assigned into two same-sized experimental and control groups. The results were analyzed using descriptive and deductive statistical methods (covariance analysis). Findings suggested that there is a meaningful difference in post-test average scores of GSES (after counting for pre-test effect) in the two groups. In other words, training individuals with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy resulted in the enhancement of self-efficacy in the experimental group compared to the control group on the basis of results in the post-test. The results implied that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy leaves a positive effect on self-efficacy of patients with addiction under treatment.
