Aims and background: In addition to physical problems, chronic pain causes sufferers to experience psychological problems; therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on pain catastrophizing and psychological well-beingin in women with chronic pain.
Materials and Methods: This study was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up with a control group design. The statistical population was made up of female patients with chronic pain referred to Emma Reza hospital inTabriz
Results: There was no significant difference between the scores of pain catastrophizing and psychological well-beingin in the experimental and control groups in the pre-test (P<0.05). The results showed that MBCT reduced and increased pain catastrophizing and psychological well-beingin of women with chronic pain in the post-test, compared to the control group, respectively (P<0.001). The effect of MBCT on pain catastrophizing and psychological well-beingin was lasting in the follow-up phase (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It seems that well-beingin can reduce pain catastrophizing and increase psychological well-beingin in women with chronic pain, therefore it is likely to be a useful treatment strategy to improve the pain catastrophizing and psychological well-beingin in women with chronic pain.
