Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group. The mentioned care program during 6 sessions, each session of 60 minutes in groups of 5-6 people in the educational classes located in Seyed Al-Shohada Hospital in the morning and evening shifts by the researcher in the form of lectures, discussions and exchanges, video clips (using networks Valid authorized download according to the educational content) and the presentation of a spiritual package for the intervention group will be held. All sessions of this spiritual care program are conducted by the researcher and under spiritual consultation with the spiritual care specialists of Ala Center. Intervention in the group is explained by a spiritual cognitive approach. In this approach, much emphasis is placed on expressing concepts operationally. Much of the treatment is based on the here and now approach. The main goal of treatment is to help the patient to change his attitude and reduce negative thoughts about himself, the world and the future. The group intervention program is content-oriented and tries to change and correct patients 'attitudes in four areas of relationship with God, self, others and nature in order to increase patients' hope. Since prayer is sometimes used as a confrontation It is used religiously, if looking at prayer is instrumental and problem-oriented, one uses prayer only when there is a problem; But in a comprehensive, innovative and functionalist view, prayer is a cognitive model that attention to its content and concept, can change the attitude of the individual to himself, God, creation and existence. With such a view of prayer, this intervention helps to raise hope in patients.
