Effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy on Cognitive Fusion and Positive and Negative Affect in Women with Type II Diabetes
Considering the accelerated development of type II diabetes and the role of cognitive factors, such as cognitive fusion and emotions, the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on cognitive fusion, as well as positive and negative affect in women with type II diabetes.
This quasi-experimental study was conducted based on a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all women with diabetes referred to the Diabetes Center in Birjand, Iran, in the second half of 2018. In total, 30 cases were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Acceptance and commitment intervention was performed in eight 90-min sessions. The required data were collected using a 7-item Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire by Gillander et al. and a 20-item Positive and Negative Affect Schedule by Watson et al. Subsequently, the collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 24) through multivariate analysis of covariance. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant
The results showed a significant difference between the mean scores of cognitive fusion and positive and negative affect in type 2 diabetic patients (P≤0.05).
According to the results of this study, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is effective in reducing cognitive fusion and negative affect and increasing positive affect in patients with type II diabetes.
