Type II diabetes is one of the chronic diseases, and diabetes distress is one of the psychological factors affecting its management. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the effectiveness of self-healing with mindfulness-integrated cognitive behavior therapy on diabetes distress and control of glycemic in type II diabetic patients

This semi-experimental research was conducted on 60 people with type II diabetes who were selected purposefully. People were randomly divided into two intervention groups and one control group. The intervention groups received twelve 90-minute sessions (one session per week) of mindfulness-integrated cognitive behavior therapy and self-healing. The research tools were Polonsky et al.'s Diabetes Distress Scale (2005), which has content validity and reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87, and laboratory equipment to measure hemoglobin glycoside. The data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measurements and post hoc tests in SPSS-24 software.

Between the two methods of intervention, only self-healing could effectively reduce glycosidic hemoglobin (P≤0.01). Moreover, both methods of intervention reduced diabetes distress; however, the effect of self-healing remained stable over time (P≤0.01).

The results indicated that self-healing was able to reduce hemoglobin glycoside in addition to diabetes distress and its effect remained constant over time. It is suggested to investigate the effect of self-healing in other areas related to diabetes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-healing training on self-compassion, self-esteem, and aggression in poorly supervised teen girls.

The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group. The research population included poorly supervised teen girls in Isfahan that were for sake of this research gathered by public instigators in counseling centers. 40 people that were willing to participate in this research by the accessible method were randomly put into two groups the experimental group (20 people) and the control group (20 people). Self-compassion scale of Ross Vonk, Pummir, Kristin Neff, and Vangacht (2011), Stanley Coopersmith’s self-steam scale (1967), and Eyesenk and Gllenn Wilson’s aggression scale (2011) were used as a pre-test. Afterward, the experiment group was put under 14 sessions (a 30-minute session per week) for learning how to self-heal. After that both groups took the post-test and a month of follow-up was executed for both groups.

For analyzing the results, a frequent variance analysis test was used. Results show that teaching self-healing had a significant effect on the rise of self-compassion and self-steam and a decrease in aggressive behaviors in participants (p<0.05).

According to the results of research that are done so far, we can put teaching self-compassion as a new optimistic approach method for increasing teen girls’ psychological health with relatively stable effects, in the subject of increasing self-care skills

Aims :

Hypertension is one of the most common health problems with chronic consequences. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of self-healing training on psychological well-being in women with hypertension.

Methods & Materials:

 The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up design and control and an experimental group. Thirty women with hypertension referred to the health centers were selected according to convenience sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=15 per group). The research instruments included Ryff’s scale of psychological well-being (1989). Repeated measures were utilized to analyze the data.

Findings:

 The results indicated that the mean total scores of the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up of psychological well-being scale in the experimental group were equal to 213.20, 199.86, and 200.86 respectively, and it was equal to 185.26, 1977.33, and 200.06 in the control group. Also, self-healing training significantly increased psychological well-being in participants in the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.05).

Conclusion:

 The self-healing training increased psychological well-being in women with hypertension to strengthen the role of the individuals by reducing physiological stress, treating destructive cellular memories, lifestyle modification, and relaxation techniques. Therefore, this method can be used as a new approach with relatively lasting effects to increase the self-care skills of patients with hypertension in health-related centers.

Aging is one of the important stages of human development. Death anxiety and sleep quality are among the most common mental health issues in the elderly which can be improved by proper intervention. This study aims to assess the effect of self-healing training on sleep quality and death anxiety of older women living in nursing homes.

Methods & Materials: 

This is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest/posttest/follow-up phase. The study population consists of all older women aged 60-70 years living in a nursing home in Isfahan, Iran in 2020. Of these, 40 were selected using a convenience sampling method and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were randomly assigned into two groups of intervention (n=20) and control (n=20). They were assessed by the Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index before, immediately after, and 45 days after the intervention. The intervention group received a 12-session self-healing intervention while the control group was placed in a waiting list without receiving any intervention. The results were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS software, version 24.

 The self-healing training significantly improved the components of death anxiety (fear of own death, fear of the process of own dying, fear of the death of others, and fear of the process of others dying) and some of sleep quality components (subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, and use of sleeping medication) (P<0.05). These effects significantly remained constant in the follow-up phase in the components of fear of own death, subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances and use of sleeping medication (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in other variables between the post-test and follow-up phases (P> 0.05).

 The self-healing training can reduce perceived death anxiety and improve sleep quality of older women living in nursing homes. It can be used as an effective educational method for improving the lifestyle and mental health of older women living in nursing homes.

The successful elderly seems to be one of the main concepts in gerontology. The elderly is a biological process experienced by all living beings, including humans. The quality of life may affect the elderly’s health. Accordingly, the current study was to determine the effectiveness of self-healing training on the quality of life among the elderly in 2020. The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population included all women living in a nursing homes in Isfahan, Iran, among whom 40 were selected using convenience sampling and according to the inclusion criteria, by a public call in the mentioned boarding nursing homes, and assigned randomely into two groups (20 members each). The measure applied in the present study was Ware and Sherbourne’s quality of life questionnaire. Latifi and Marvi’s self-healing training was performed for the experimental group during twelve 60-minute sessions. Data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) by using SPSS-24 software. The results demonstrated that self-healing training had positive effects on the components of quality of life (including physical function, role limitation due to physical reasons, energy and vitality, emotional well-being, physical pain and general health) in the experimental group compared to the control group significantly in the post-test (p<0.05) and these effects had remained significantly constant in the follow-up phase (p<0.05). However, there was found no significant difference in the other components of quality of life (including limitation of role playing due to emotional reasons and social functioning), both in the posttest and follow-up stages (p>0.05). According to the results of the present study, it can be mentioned that the self-healing approach improves the quality of life and increases the elderly’s general health by reducing the physiological stress through methods of treating destructive cellular memories, improving lifestyle and teaching relaxation techniques.

Binge eating disorder as a psychological disorder commonly leads to confusion and problems for people.  A problem People with binge eating disorder is low capacity of distress tolerance, and this increases the tendency of an individual to Binge eating. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and self-healing therapy on Distress tolerance in women with bulimia nervosa.

Methods and Materials: 

This study was quasi-experimental (pre-test post-test with the control group). The statistical population of the present study included all women with bulimia nervosa who were referred to specialists and medical centers in Isfahan in 1398. 45 women were selected by purposive sampling and randomly placed in experimental and control groups. Data collection tools were Distress tolerance Simon and Gaherchr (2005) questionnaires. Each of the experimental groups underwent 12 sessions of Michellechr  cognitive-behavioral group therapy, and Marvi and Latifichr  self-healing therapy, but the control group did not receive an educational certificate. Research  data  were analyzed using  Mancova  and chi-square test.

Based on the chi-square test, no significant difference was observed in terms of age, education, and disease duration between the three groups (P <0.05). The results showed that the cognitive-behavioral and self-healing experimental groups were significantly different from the control group in the Distress tolerance variable (P <0.05). Also, self-healing therapy has increased the Tolerance and absorption dimensions and Distress tolerance more than cognitive-behavioral therapy (P < 0.05).

According to this study, cognitive-behavioral therapy and self-healing can be used to increase the Distress tolerance of women with bulimia nervosa. However, self-healing treatment seems to be more than effective cognitive-behavioral therapy in this case.

Hypertension is one of the most common health problems with chronic consequences which its management is mainly related to self-care status. One of the factors in achieving better psychological self-care is learning self-healing techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of self-healing method on lifestyle and improvement of symptoms in women with hypertension.

The present quasi-experimental study was conducted with pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up on two experimental and control groups. Thirty female patients with hypertension were selected from one of the clinics in Isfahan province through available sampling and then randomly assigned to two groups (n=15). Data collected by valid questionnaire of Taghizadeh and Rezvani relaxed lifestyle questionnaire (2017) and a researcher made demographic form and then analyzed using repeated measures statistical method.

The results showed that self-healing training had a significant effect on increasing relaxation-oriented lifestyle and reducing and stabilizing participantschr('39') blood pressure after the test and follow-up (P <0.05).

It seems that self-healing training by reducing physiological stress through the treatment of destructive cellular memories, lifestyle modification and training relaxation techniques, has increased relaxation and decreased blood pressure in patients. Therefore, this method can be used as a new approach with relatively lasting effects to increase the self-care skills of patients with hypertension in health-related centers.
