Background: Granulomatous mastitis is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of the breast, which, in addition to chronic pain and physical problems, has brought patients many problems and challenges in the areas of marital satisfaction, sexual relations, and adaptation to the disease. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on marital satisfaction, sexual desire and resilience of patients with granulomatous mastitis disease in Isfahan city.
Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The study population consisted of patients with chronic granulomatous mastitis disease that referred to Al-Zahra, Zahra-ye Marzieh, Shariati, Sina, and Issa ben Maryam hospitals in Isfahan city in 2023. Based on medical records, 30 women with granulomatous mastitis disease were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). Data was collected using the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire (EMSS), the Halbert Sexual Desire Questionnaire (HISD), and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (RISC-CD), in two phases, pre-test and post-test, on the experimental and control groups. The acceptance and commitment therapy was held in nine sessions each lasting 90 minutes, once a week. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software using the analysis of covariance.
Results: The results showed that the mean age of the participants in the experimental group was 31.48±2.82 and in the control group was 32.49±3.91 years. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of covariance showed that 64.8% of the variance in increased marital satisfaction, 71.2% in sexual desire, and 71.9% in resilience in the post-test phase was due to the effectiveness of the acceptance and commitment therapy (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on marital satisfaction, sexual desire, and resilience in women with granulomatous mastitis, it is suggested that psychologists and counselors to use this intervention to improve marital satisfaction, resilience, and resolve marital problems in affected patients.
