Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy in reducing obsessive-compulsive disorder and general anxiety among female patients recovering from coronavirus in Tabriz. The sample of this research consists of 24 women who have recovered from the coronavirus disease and who have been referred to counseling centers in Tabriz due to pervasive anxiety and obsession. The research samples were selected through purposive sampling from the statistical population, and then 12 people were randomly placed in the experimental and 12 in the control groups. The research was applied in terms of purpose and semi-experimental in terms of implementation with a pre-test and post-test and a control group design. Maudsley's obsessive-compulsive questionnaires and Beck's anxiety questionnaire were used to collecting data. A pre-test was taken from both groups, and the experimental group received the treatment protocol based on acceptance and commitment in 14 sessions. The inferential results of the research, carried out using the covariance method, showed the confirmation of the research hypotheses, and it was found that the treatment protocol based on acceptance and commitment reduces obsession and pervasive anxiety among female patients who have recovered from coronavirus disease in Tabriz. Also, the results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy reduced all components of obsession (checking, washing, slowness-repetition, doubt-duty) in the experimental group.
