Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Islamic spiritual dignity therapy on depression and death anxiety of dialysis patients.
Methods: This semi-experimental study used a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all dialysis women in Mashhad city, and 12 subjects (6 in the control group and 6 in the experimental group) were selected as a sample from the Mohaban Dialysis Center in Mashhad by the researcher's call in 2021. In this study, people were replaced by a non-probability (voluntary) sampling method and randomly in two experimental and control groups. During the sessions, one of the people in the experimental group had a stroke and died, and our sample fell. In the pre-test stage, the subjects of both groups responded to Beck's depression questionnaire (1996) and Templer's death anxiety questionnaire (1970). The subjects of the experimental group were subjected to dignity group therapy during six sessions each session for two hours, while the control group did not receive any treatment. At the end of the plan's implementation, both groups answered the mentioned questionnaires again. Finally, the data collected were analyzed by covariance analysis.
Results: Dignity therapy has a positive effect on dialysis patients in reducing the two components of depression and death anxiety (P<0.01). Dignity therapy has established a significant difference between the control and experimental groups.
Conclusion: The results showed that dignity therapy is effective in reducing depression and death anxiety in dialysis patients. Islamic spiritual dignity improves depression and death anxiety of individuals, and this group therapy can be used to promote the reduction of depression and death anxiety. |
