Introduction: Coping self-efficacy is an important factor in stress management and promoting psychological health in people with chronic diseases. Given the importance of this issue, this study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and attachment-based compassion therapy on coping self-efficacy in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of this study included all MS patients in Hamedan in 2024. 60 people were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to three groups: test 1 (20 people), test 2 (20 people), and control (20 people). The coping self-efficacy scale was used to collect data. Schema therapy and attachment-based compassion therapy were implemented as a group for 8 sessions for the intervention groups. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Findings: The results of the between-group comparison showed that there was a significant difference between the schema therapy and control groups (P=0.01); there was also a significant difference between the attachment-based compassion and control groups (P=0.01); but there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups, schema therapy and attachment-based compassion (P=1.00). In fact, both interventions had the same effect on increasing coping self-efficacy in MS patients.
Conclusion: Overall, it can be concluded that schema therapy and attachment-based compassion therapy both had the same effects on increasing coping self-efficacy in MS patients.
