Abstract

 Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of reality therapy on improving psychological capital and sense of cohesion among Iranian Patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
Method: This study was performed in Tehran in 2021. Sampling was employed to select 36 participants who completed the Psychological Capital Questionnaire and Sense of Cohesion Scale in the pretest, posttest, and onemonth follow-up stages. The participants of the experimental group underwent eight weekly 90-minute sessions to receive the online reality therapy; However, the control group received no intervention.
Results: Data analysis showed a significant difference in psychological capital and sense of cohesion in the experimental group compared to the control group (P< 0/05). There was a significant difference in three subscales of psychological capital (i.e., self-efficacy, resilience, and hope) and two subscales of the sense of cohesion (i.e., perceptibility and controllability) in Patients with MS in the experimental group (P <0.05), but no significant difference in optimism (a subscale of the psychological capital) and significance (a subscale of sense of cohesion) (P> 0.05).
Conclusion: Due to the effects of reality therapy on patients with multiple sclerosis, this psychological therapy can be employed to improve the psychological capital and sense of cohesion.

Abstract [Persian]

هدف این مطالعه بررسی تأثیر واقعیت درمانی بر بهبود سرمایه روانشناختی و احساس انسجام در بیماران ایرانی مبتلا به مولتیپل اسکلروزیس بود.
روش‌ها: این پژوهش در سال 1400در شهر تهران انجام شد. با نمونه‌گیری 36 شرکت‌کننده، پرسش‌نامه سرمایه روان‌شناختی و مقیاس حس انسجام را در مراحل پیش‌آزمون، پس‌آزمون و پیگیری یک‌ماهه تکمیل کردند. شرکت‌کنندگان گروه آزمایش هشت جلسه هفتگی 90 دقیقه‌ای را برای دریافت واقعیت درمانی آنلاین پشت سر گذاشتند. اما گروه کنترل هیچ مداخله ای دریافت نکرد.
یافته ها: تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها نشان داد که بین سرمایه روانشناختی و احساس انسجام در گروه آزمایش نسبت به گروه کنترل تفاوت معنی داری وجود دارد (05/0 P<). در سه خرده مقیاس سرمایه روانشناختی (خودکارآمدی، تاب آوری و امید) و دو خرده مقیاس احساس انسجام (یعنی ادراک پذیری و کنترل پذیری) در بیماران مبتلا به ام اس در گروه آزمایش تفاوت معنی داری وجود داشت (05/0 > P اما تفاوت معناداری در خوش بینی (یک زیرمقیاس سرمایه روانشناختی) و معناداری (یک خرده مقیاس احساس انسجام) وجود ندارد (05/0 P>).
نتیجه گیری با توجه به تأثیر واقعیت درمانی بر بیماران مبتلا به مولتیپل اسکلروزیس، می توان از این روان درمانی برای بهبود سرمایه روان شناختی و احساس انسجام استفاده کرد.
