Abstract: (186 Views)
Introduction: In today's society, mental disorders, especially depression, have become highly prevalent among adolescents. This study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on the hope for life and severity of depression in adolescents suffering from depression in Yazd.
Method: This semi-experimental study was conducted in 2023 using a pre-test post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up in Yazd. The study population consisted of adolescents aged 12 to 18 in Yazd County. Using a convenience sampling method, 45 depressed 14-year-old girls were randomly assigned to three groups of 15 (metacognitive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and control group). After administering the pre-test using the Mariaquas Depression Questionnaire and Miller's Hope Scale, post-tests were conducted for all three groups after 8 sessions (90 minutes each). For data analysis, means and standard deviations were used for descriptive statistics, and analysis of covariance was employed for inferential statistics. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.
Results: The results were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The findings indicated that there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in both the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.05). The scores of the experimental groups showed significant changes in the variables of hope for life and severity of depression after the intervention (p < 0.05), while the control group did not show significant differences (p>0/05).
Conclusion: The results were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The findings indicated that there were significant differences between the experimental and control groups in both the pre-test and post-test (p<0/05). The scores of the experimental groups showed significant changes in the variables of hope for life and severity of depression after the intervention (p<0/05), while the control group did not show significant differences (p>0/05).
Conflict of interest: The authors declared no conflict of interest.
