| description | Background: Having a child suffering from Cerebral Paralysis (CP) brings about frequent psychological and emotional damages for the mothers that applying appropriate psychological therapies to decrease these damages is a requirement. But does training self-compassion help decreasing social stigma and improvement of distress tolerance in the mothers of the children with CP?
Aims: therefore the present study was conducted aiming to investigate the effectiveness of training self-compassion on decreasing social stigma and the improvement of distress tolerance in the mothers of the children with CP. Method: the present research was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest, control group design and two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the present study included mothers of the children with CP in the town of Shahrekord in the first quarter of this solar year. 30 mothers of the children with CP were selected through voluntary non-random sampling method and randomly replaced into experimental and control groups (15 mothers in the experimental and 15 in the control group). The experimental group received 10 ninety-minute sessions of training self-compassion during two months. The applied questionnaires in the study included questionnaire of social stigma (Mac and Wook, 2010) and questionnaire of distress tolerance (Simons and Goher, 2005). The data from the study were analyzed through repeated measurement ANOVA. Results: the results showed that training self-compassion significantly influences social stigma and distress tolerance in the mothers of the children with CP (p˂ 0/001). This treatment can reduce the social stigma and improve the distress tolerance of mothers. Conclusions: findings of the present study implied that training self-compassion employing techniques such as training being aware of positive and negative experiences, creating positive experiences through mental visualization training compassion expression and behavior modification through environmental reinforces can be used as an efficient therapy to decrease social stigma and improve distress tolerance in the mothers of the children with CP. |
