Abstract

Background

Depression and anxiety are prevalent psychological symptoms among COVID-19 survivors. This study compared the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and Beck cognitive therapy (BCT) in addressing these issues.

Methods

Forty-five COVID-19 survivors were randomly assigned to one of three groups: MBCT, BCT or a control. Pre- and postintervention assessments, using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), were conducted. Both interventions consisted of eight 90-minute sessions.

Results

An ANCOVA analysis revealed that BCT was more effective than MBCT in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms. Both interventions led to significant improvements, but no significant differences were observed between post-test and follow-up.

Conclusion

BCT is a promising intervention for depression and anxiety in COVID-19 survivors. Facilities providing cognitive therapy should be integrated into healthcare settings to support mental health recovery.

期刊介绍： Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
