Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of meaning centered therapy and unit-oriented therapy on resilience and quality of life in leukemia patients. The statistical population of this study included all patients with leukemia referred to Mahyar Charity in 2019 and 2020, from which 60 patients were randomly selected and randomly and by age and gender homogenized assigned into two experimental groups and one control group. Participants for pre-test, post-test and follow-up responded to the Back Anxiety Inventory (1988); the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 by Aaronson et al. (1993) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003). The participants of the first experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of meaning centered therapy and the participants of the second experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of unit-oriented therapy. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. The results of the present study showed that there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of unity-oriented therapy and meaning centered therapy on the component of emotional quality of life (P=0.001). There was no significant difference between the effectiveness of unit-oriented treatment and meaning centered therapy on the resilience (P=0.635).
