Comparison of the effect of positive behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy on cognitive flexibility, women with breast cancer

Among the people who have received a diagnosis, according to the entry and exit criteria, we prepare a list and randomly select 45 of them, and randomly divide them into three groups. Then, randomly, one of the groups will be used as a control group, the other group as experimental group 1 (positive behavioral therapy), and the third group as experimental group 2 (cognitive behavioral therapy).

45 women with breast cancer referred to Milad Shahr Hospital in Tehran were selected and answered the cognitive flexibility questionnaire, then they were randomly assigned to three groups using the rand function of Excel software, and after identifying the three groups Each group was placed in one of the plans, and the control group did not receive information about the process and how it was implemented until the end of the research. Educational sessions in the field of cognitive flexibility at the positive life center under the cover of the welfare organization on a weekly basis for 8 sessions of 90 minutes (Fridays: cognitive behavioral therapy group from 9 to 10:30 and positive therapy group from 11 to 12 :30) was taught.

group cognitive behavioral therapy، positive behavioral therapy، control group

Cognitive flexibility, perception of controllability, perception of justification of behavior, perception of different options.

After performing the pre-test stage in a joint session, people were randomly assigned a number using a list of numbers, and based on the lottery, the first person was placed in group 1, the second person was placed in group 2, and the third person was placed in group 3. Each group was randomly assigned to the first group (cognitive behavioral therapy), the second group (positive behavioral therapy), and the third group did not receive any intervention as a control group.

Individuals were blinded to be placed in groups, and after three groups were determined, each group was blindly placed in one of the plans (neither the participants nor the researcher knew about the placement of individuals in the groups until the day of the training sessions). The analyst did not know about the people and groups under analysis

All data can be presented in excel without mentioning the participants. Protocols and results can be presented in reports.
