Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Psychological Problems and Mindfulness in Individuals with Diabetes
Keywords:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, anxiety, depression, stress, mindfulnessAbstract
Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on psychological problems and mindfulness in individuals with diabetes.
Methods and Materials: This semi-experimental research employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population comprised all diabetic patients who visited medical centers in Rasht in the year 2024. Using convenience sampling, 30 diabetic patients who expressed willingness to participate were selected and randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. Participants in the experimental group underwent ten 90-minute sessions of CBT. The control group did not receive any intervention. Data collection at both pretest and posttest stages utilized the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) and the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory – Short Form. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.
Findings: Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) results indicated significant differences between groups in posttest scores for anxiety, depression, stress, and mindfulness components (p < .01).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that CBT significantly reduced anxiety, depression, and stress levels while enhancing mindfulness among diabetic patients.
