The effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on coping strategies, depression, and suicidal ideations in students

Numerous studies have examined the effect of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and the study of coping strategies, depression, and suicidal ideation. However, there is a research gap in the study of the effect of cognitive-based cognitive-cognitive therapy on cognitive coping strategies, depression, and studentschr('39') suicidal thoughts.

To investigate the effect of cognitive-based cognitive-cognitive therapy on coping strategies, depression and studentschr('39') suicidal thoughts.

The research was semi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design with control group. The statistical population of the study was all male and female undergraduate students of Payame Noor University of Kermanshah in the second semester of 2018-2019. 24 students were randomly selected as a sample and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (12 people). The research instruments included: Lazarus and Volkman (1984) coping strategies questionnaires, Beckchr('39')s second edition of Depression (1996), Beckchr('39')s Suicidal Thought (1979) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy sessions (Van Soon, Niklik, Pop, and Pop & Power, 2011). Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly reduced studentschr('39') emotion-driven strategies, depression, and suicidal ideation (P< 0/01).

Students who participated in cognitive, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy sessions scored lower on coping strategies, depression, and suicidal ideation.
