Abstract: (1096 Views)
Background & aim: Mindfulness-based interventions are considered as one of the cognitive-behavioral therapies that reduce the psychological stress resulting from diseases such as high blood pressure in patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on tolerating helplessness, failure and anger control in women with high blood pressure.
Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test design, post-test with control group. 30 women with hypertension were selected and randomly divided into a experimental group and a control (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group). The experimental group received 8 sessions of 120 minutes of mindfulness-based stress reduction training, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The Simmons and Gaher (2005) Helplessness Tolerance, the Harrington Failure Tolerance (2005), the Spielberger Anger Control (1996-1999) questionnaires were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance via SPSS-28 software.
Results: The results showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction methods were able to increase the rate of helplessness tolerance, failure tolerance and anger control in women with high blood pressure (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In overall, the results showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction methods can be used as a treatment to reduce the problems of patients with hypertension, especially women in counseling centers and hospitals.
