Abstract
Background: The research evidence has shown that cognitive behavioral group therapy had a significant impact on the quality of life and job motivation. This study aimed to assess the impact of cognitive behavioral group therapy on the quality of life and job motivation of female teachers.
Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures and a control group was utilized. The study population comprised all primary school teachers in Iran during the academic year 2021. Through simple random sampling, 30 female primary school teachers were assigned to either an experimental or a control group, with 15 participants in each group. The experimental group received eight sessions of cognitive-behavioral group therapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were collected using the Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Teachers' Career Motivation Questionnaire. One-way MANCOVA and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results indicated that the experimental group significantly improved their quality of life and job motivation compared to the control group at the post-test stage. Cognitive-behavioral group therapy was found to increase teachers' quality of life and job motivation (P = 0.002).
Conclusions: Therefore, we conclude that cognitive-behavioral group therapy is an effective means of enhancing the quality of life and job motivation of teachers.
