Abstract: (372 Views)
Background and Objective: This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based therapy (ACT) and intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) on perfectionism and the quality of life of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental research was performed with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design and a control group. The statistical population of the research included all the patients of Mehr Neurological and Psychiatric Hospital as well as Imam Reza and Khorramabad Health Centers in the second half of 2022-2023. In total, 42 participants were selected by the available sampling method and divided into three groups, namely ISTDP (n=14), ACT (n=13), and the control group (n=15). They answered the Perfectionism Inventory by Hill et al. (2004) and Quality of Life by Ware and Sherbourne (2000) in three stages. The intervention groups received scheduled intervention during eight sessions based on the treatment protocol, while the control group did not receive any training. The obtained data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measurements.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the effects of the two methods of ACT and ISTDP on the maladaptive dimension of perfectionism (P=0.004) and the mental health dimension of quality of life (P=0.047).
Conclusion: It was concluded that the ACT reduced the scores of the maladaptive aspect of perfectionism more and increased the scores of the mental health dimension of the quality of life, compared to the ISTDP. Therefore, it can be said that ACT is a more effective method for the reduction of maladaptive perfectionism and increase of the mental health dimension of quality of life in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder compared to ISTDP.
