Objective: This study sought to assess the effect of “group cognitive therapy” for raising hope among tuberculosis patients hospitalized in Masih Daneshvari Hospital.
Method: The inclusion criteria: diagnosis of tuberculosis, male gender, minimum age of 18 yrs., complete consciousness, no substance abuse and no history of psychiatric drug consumption. The study population included all male tuberculosis patients hospitalized in Masih Daneshvari Hospital during May 2012-May 2013. Sampling method: All patients with tuberculosis (24 patients) who had inclusion criteria were selected and then they were divided to experimental and control groups by simple randomized method. This applicable study had a pre-test and post-test design and the test and control groups were compared. Hope was measured in the test group before and after the intervention (cognitive therapy in 12 sessions of 60 min each) and in the control group (twice, no intervention) using Snyder’s Hope Scale.
Results: Group cognitive therapy in the experimental group significantly raised hope (motivation and determination to find a solution) in comparison to the control group.
