Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder with widespread musculoskeletal pain that is often associated with psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress. In this study, the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program and cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing these symptoms in women with fibromyalgia was compared.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 45 women with fibromyalgia who were randomly assigned to three groups (MBSR group, CBT group, and control group). The instruments used included the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). The experimental groups underwent the respective treatments for 8 weeks. The data were analyzed using the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test.
Findings: The results showed that both MBSR and CBT methods had a significant effect on reducing depression, anxiety, and stress in women with fibromyalgia (p<0.05), but the MBSR method was more effective in reducing depression, stress, and anxiety than CBT.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the mindfulness-based stress reduction program and cognitive-behavioral therapy are effective on depression, anxiety, and stress in women with fibromyalgia. |
