Objective: One of the most common issues of old age is chronic pain. The aim of mindfulness-based approaches is to create psychological flexibility and change attitudes towards pain. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the symptoms of pain perception in older women
Methods and Materials: It was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and one-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population was 60 and older women lived in Isfahan in 1402. Among them 30 women were selected by available sampling method and using the entry criteria and randomly assigned to equal experimental and control groups. The research tool was the short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. The experimental group received the intervention in eight two-hour sessions and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The data were analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance using SPSS-25 software.
Results: The average age of the participants of the experimental group was 64.07±3.37 and the control group was 64.20±3.57, the average total pain perception score of the experimental and control groups was reported as 22.67 and 35.13 respectively in the post-test phase and 23.60 and 35.07 respectively in the follow-up phase. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the average of the three assessment stages (pre-test, post-test and follow-up) in all subscales and the total score (P<0.01). The results of the Benferroni test indicated the effectiveness of the treatment in the post-test and follow-up phase for all subscales compared to the control group (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: The use of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy significantly leads to the reduction of pain perception in older women.
