Abstract
Aim and Background: Inflammatory bowel disease has clinical features and therapeutic interventions that can greatly impact patients' psychological function and personal relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on negative and positive emotions and cognitive emotion regulation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Methods and Materials: The design of the present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of this study included inflammatory bowel patients in Isfahan. The study sample consisted of 30 patients with inflammatory bowel disease who were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Participants in the pre-intervention and post-intervention stages to the questionnaire فه Positive and Negative Emotions و Watson et al. (1988) and Garnfsky et al. (2002) responded to the cognitive regulation of emotion. The experimental group underwent yoga-based cognitive therapy based on 8 sessions of 90 minutes, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using variable covariance analysis and SPSS22 software. Findings: The results of comparing the experimental group with the control group showed that negative emotions and cognitive regulation of emotion were significantly different from the control group. Yoga and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly affect negative and positive emotions (p <0.05). It also had a significant effect on the cognitive regulation of emotion, except for the dimensions of acceptance and blame of people with inflammatory bowel disease (p <0.05). Conclusions: In general, the results indicate the effect of yoga-based mindfulness cognitive therapy on negative emotions and positive emotions and cognitive emotion regulation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and can be considered as an important and key intervention alongside drug therapies in patients. Inflammation of the intestine is used. Also, the results of this research can be used by health psychologists.
