Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on depression and dysfunctional attitudes in patients with multiple sclerosis. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, in a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group, 30 patients with multiple sclerosis were selected by recall and available sampling method and were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups. The intervention was performed in 8 sessions and each session lasted 45 minutes on the experimental group. Groups were evaluated for depression and dysfunctional attitudes before and after the intervention. Findings: The results of covariance analysis showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy has a significant effect on increasing depression and dysfunctional attitudes in patients with multiple sclerosis (P <0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study support the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy in improving the level of depression and dysfunctional attitudes of patients with multiple sclerosis.
