Abstract

Introduction: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is designed to help patients identify and process their emotions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Emotion-Focused Therapy on improving Depression and Self-Compassion in women with Breast Cancer. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a 3-month follow-up. The sample consisted of 30 women with Breast Cancer in Tehran who had a Depression score of >17 at screening and were selected via purposive sampling and randomly placed in experimental and control groups of 15. The experimental group underwent EFTover twelve 50-minute individual sessions according to the Greenberg Emotion-Focused Therapy protocol. Research data were collected using the Beck Depression Inventory and the Self-Compassion Scale before, after, and 3 months after the end of treatment. Data analysis was performed using repeatedmeasures two-way ANOVA. Results: The experimental group scored significantly higher in selfcompassion and lower in Depression in the posttest compared with the pretest. In the follow-up assessment, Depression scores were as low as the posttest levels, but Self-Compassion scores decreased relative to the posttest; however, they remained significantly above the pre-test levels. In the control group, both Depression and Self-Compassion scores were stable over time. Conclusion: EFT can be used as an appropriate intervention to reduce Depression and increase Self-Compassion significantly and enduringly in women with Breast Cancer.
