Abstract

Introduction: Infertility is a prevalent condition in women in the reproductive age, which is often followed by psychological problems. Aim: This study examined the effectiveness of Schema Therapy vs. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy on Worry and Psychological well-being in Infertile Women. Method: This research was conducted in the form of a multi-group quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test and follow-up with a control group. Among the Infertile Women referred to infertility centers in Sari city in 2022, 45 women were selected using an available sampling method and randomly assigned to two intervention groups and one control group. The Schema Therapy group received 12 sessions and the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy group received interventions related to their group in 8 sessions once a week. The participants of three groups completed Ryff's Psychological well-being Scale (RPWBS,1990) and Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ,Meyer et al., 1990) in the pre-test, post-test and 3-month follow-up phases. Analyses were performed using Student's t test, Chi-squared, and mixed ANOVA where appropriate. Results: There was a significant difference between the schema-based therapy and mindfulness groups with the control group. Both Schema Therapy and MBCT had significant effects on reducing Worry and increasing Psychological well-being in Infertile Women (P<0. 001). Also, no significant difference was observed between the Schema Therapy and MBCT groups on Worry and Psychological well-being in the post-test and follow-up (P>0/05). Conclusion: This study showed similar effects of both the schema and mindfulness-based therapies on the Worry and psycholgical well-being in Infertile Women in Iran. Therefore, experts, researchers and therapists in this field can use these interventions as effective treatment options to improve the psychological functions of Infertile Women along with their medical treatments
