Abstract
Purpose: Due to the prevalence of sexual identity disorder in our country, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on social health and depression in patients with sexual identity disorder. Materials and Methods: The statistical population consisted of men with sexual identity disorder in Tehran who were selected through convenience sampling of 40 of them and voluntarily in the pre-test stage of research questionnaires which included Saffarinia Social Health Questionnaire (2014). And Beck Depression Inventory (1978) were completed and randomly assigned to the study design. The experimental group underwent group spiritual therapy for 14 sessions and then, in the post-test phase, both groups answered the research questionnaires. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) with repeated measures. Findings: The results showed that spiritual therapy improved social health and depression in the experimental and post-test groups (P <0.01). Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on social health and depression in patients with sexual identity disorder, this treatment can be used to reduce their psychosocial problems.
