ABSTRACT
Aim and background: Chronic Low back pain (LBP) is leading cause of healthrelated premature retirement and is associated with substantial downstream economic losses and reduced quality of lif. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Treatment Based On Emotional Efficiency on Alexithymia and health-related quality of life in Women with Chronic Low Back Pain.
Material and Methods: The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a 45-day follow-up period. The statistical population of this research included all women with chronic Low back pain who referred to the hospital and specialized pain clinics in Isfahan city in the summer quarter of 1401. In this research, 30 patients suffering from chronic back pain were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 patients in each group). The experimental group received 8 sessions of 90 minutes during two months of treatment based on emotional efficiency, but the control group did not receive any intervention. In this research, the health-related quality of life questionnaire (Warr, 1988) and the Toronto Alexithymia scale were completed by Bagby, Parker and Taylor (1994). The data was analyzed through SPSS-23 software and with the analysis of variance test with repeated measures.
Results: There was no significant difference between the scores of Alexithymia and health-related quality of life in the experimental and control groups in the pre-test (P<0.05). The results showed that the treatment based on emotional efficiency increased and decreased the health-related quality of life and Alexithymia of women with chronic low back pain in the post-test, respectively compared to the control group (P<0.001). The effect of treatment based on emotional efficiency on health-related quality of life and Alexithymia was permanent in the follow-up phase (P<0.001). .
Conclusion: Treatment based on emotional efficiency is suggested as an effective treatment in health centers to improve health-related quality of life and reduce Alexithymia in women with chronic low back pain.
