Aims and Background: Epilepsy patients are involved in many psychological problems, so in addition to medical interventions, psychological interventions should also be considered in their recovery plan. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (MBSRT) on intensity pain and quality of life of man with epilepsy.
Materials and Methods: This study was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population of the research included all man with epilepsy inTabriz 2023. In total, 30 people were selected by purposive sampling method, and randomly divided into two groups (15 people each). Members of the experimental group received their treatment in eight sessions of 1.5 hours; however, the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups answered the 20-question McGill's intensity pain and 36-question quality of life Questionnaires, before, after and 4 months after the intervention. Data were Analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures.
Results: There was no significant difference between the intensity pain and quality of life in the experimental and control groups in the pre-test (P<0.05). The results showed that MBSRT reduced and increased intensity pain and quality of life of man with epilepsy in the post-test, compared to the control group, respectively (P<0.001). The effect of MBSRT on intensity pain and quality of life was lasting in the follow-up phase (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It seems that mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy can reduce intensity pain and increase quality of life in man with epilepsy, therefore it is likely to be a useful treatment strategy to improve the intensity intensity pain and quality of life in man with epilepsy.
