Abstract: (422 Views)
Objectives The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused acceptance and commitment therapy (CFACT) on pain self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods This is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a pre-test/post-test design. Participants were 36 patients with MS in Mazandaran province, northern Iran, in 2022-2023 who were selected by voluntary sampling method and randomly assigned to two groups: intervention (n=18) and control (n=18). The disability of patients was measured by Kretzke’s expanded disability status scale. They completed the pain self-efficacy questionnaire (PSEQ), and pain catastrophizing scale (PCS). The intervention group received the CFACT at 10 session using the protocol adapted from the book “ACT Practitioner’s Guide to the Science of Compassion”. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS v.27 using multivariate analysis of covariance
Results The CFACT increased pain self-efficacy (P=0.004) and reduced pain catastrophizing (P=0.025) in the intervention group compared to the control group at the posttest stage.
Conclusion The CFACT is effective in improving pain self-efficacy and reducing pain catastrophizing in patients with MS, by helping patients shift their focus from catastrophizing pain to engaging in meaningful activities.This treatment can be used in clinics and hospitals.
