Abstract:
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of meaning centered therapy and unit-oriented therapy on resilience and quality of life in leukemia patients. The research method was pragmatic in nature with regard to its objective. In terms of data collection, it followed a semi-experimental design comprising a control group and a pre-test-post-test-follow-up phase. The statistical population for this research comprised all leukemia patients referred to Mahyar Charity in Tehran during 2019 and 2020. A random sample of 60 patients was drawn from this population, and they were subsequently assigned into two experimental groups and one control group, with age and gender homogenization. Participants for pre-test, post-test and follow-up responded to the Back Anxiety Inventory (BAI); the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The participants of the first experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of meaning centered therapy and the participants of the second experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of unit-oriented therapy. Analysis of variance with repeated measures and SPSS-24 software were used to analyze the data. On the component of emotional quality of life, the present study found a statistically significant difference between the efficacy of meaning-centered therapy and unity-oriented therapy (P=0.001). Regarding resilience, there was no statistically significant distinction between meaning-centered therapy and unit-oriented treatment (P=0.635).
