The Effectiveness of Group Therapy Based on Mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the anxiety, metabolic control and quality of life in type 2 diabetic patients

A randomized clinical trial with parallel groups

In order to conduct research, by attending the Diabetes Association of Tehran, while explaining the nature and objectives of the research and obtaining patients' consent, individually from each case, first the initial evaluation in terms of anxiety, metabolic control and pre-test quality of life will be performed. The mindfulness test group will be in 2 sessions of 90 minutes per week for 8 sessions, the cognitive-behavioral group will be in the form of 2 sessions per week for 8 sessions of 90 minutes after the sessions both groups will be anxious again. , Metabolic control and quality of life will respond.

Inclusion criteria include age range 25 to 45 years, having type 2 diabetes, a sense of cooperation and a willingness to participate in medical intervention and being literate was at least a diploma (for reading and writing). Exclusion criteria included chronic mental disorders, severe depression, chronic physical illness with diabetes such as blindness and amputation.

For the first group of mindfulness cognitive group psychotherapy, For the second group, cognitive behavioral therapy will be performed.

anxiety, metabolic control and quality of life

Using the block randomization method by the statistical consultant, the following randomization is done in 3 groups of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and control: First, the list of names of qualified people is provided and coded. In block randomization, the number of participants in all groups will be very close, this is done by building blocks of sequences and intersections so that the same number of participants are allocated to study groups within each group. First, we encode the groups based on the Latin letters as follows: A = mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, B = cognitive-behavioral therapy and C control group In this study, with three groups A, B, and C, we create the following six groups and assign the numbers 1 to 6 to each: ABC-ACB-BAC-BCA-CAB-CBA Then, using the table of random numbers, we contract that if the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 6 appear in order, one of these blocks will be selected, and if another number appears, we will assume it to be null and void and move on to the next selection. In fact, we have obtained a random sequence of numbers with a table of random numbers, which we consider the order of the assigned allocation for each number. In this way, the number of people in the groups will be almost equal.
