Comparison of the effectiveness of two classic cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on the emotion regulation strategies of patients with type 2 diabetes in Shiraz

Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on emotion regulation strategies. But there is a research gap between comparing the effectiveness of the two classic cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) and reducing mindfulness-based stress (MBSR) on emotion regulation strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Comparison of the effectiveness of two classical cognitive-behavioral therapies and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy was based on the strategies for regulating emotion in patients with type 2 diabetes in Shiraz.

The research was pre-test-post-test with control group. The statistical population included all type 2 diabetic patients present in Shiraz medical and hospital centers in 2018. Thirty-six diabetic patients were selected by simple random sampling and randomly assigned to three 12-person groups (two experimental groups and one contrast group). Research tools of Garnefskychr('39')s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Craig and Spinhaon (2001), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy Meetings (Mouse et al., 2015) and Behavioral Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Moloudi and Fattahi, 2011; quoted by Samadzadeh et al., 1397). ). Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

Two cognitive-behavioral therapies of classical behavior and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy had a significant effect on patientschr('39') emotion regulation strategies (P< 0/001). There was no significant difference between the two treatments in terms of the effect on emotion regulation strategies (P< 0/001).

Patients who participated in cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy experienced more positive and less negative emotion regulation strategies.
