Despite the long period of study in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, only a small number of treatments have proven effective. The current study aimed to compare the effectiveness of reality therapy and compassion-focused therapy in the reduction of depression, anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.\u0000Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted on 45 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (diagnosed by a gastroenterologist applying the Rome III criteria) who were assigned to two experimental groups: reality therapy (n=15) and compassion-focused therapy (n=15), as well as the control group (n=15). The experimental groups received eight sessions of reality therapy and compassion-focused therapy. All three groups responded to the Severity of Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS-SI) and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale(DASS-42) as pre-post and follow-up tests.\u0000Results: The results of the repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated a significantly lower mean score in depression, anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms among the experimental group in the post-test. The follow-up test administered eight weeks after the post-test did not show any change in the results.\u0000Conclusion: The obtained results supported the effectiveness of reality therapy and compassion-focused therapy in the reduction of depression, anxiety, stress, and physical symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. There was also no significant difference in the efficacy of these two treatments.","PeriodicalId":91846,"journal":{"name":"Avicenna journal of neuropsychophysiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48950639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total number of students in the first semester of 2019-20 was 4860 cases, and the statistical sample size based on Cochran's formula was estimated at 377 individuals from six schools selected by multi-stage cluster random sampling. The data were collected using Coronavirus Quarantine Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire, Irritability Questionnaire, and Self-Esteem Questionnaire.

In addition, there was a positive and significant relationship between quarantine and all components of self-esteem, except for academic (educational) self-esteem (P<0.05).
