Methods: The experimental design was a pre-test and post-test study. The statistical sample of this study included all patients with irritable bowel syndrome who were referring from June to September 2012 to Isfahan health centres. The research sample consisted of 60 individuals chosen using the easy sampling method Recruited in the experimental group and 30 individuals in the control group. The evaluation instruments included questionnaires on self-care and hopefulness behaviors. Both groups took out a pretest at first. The experimental group then tested on the experimental group in eight sessions, and a post-test was conducted between the two groups. Data analysis was performed using Multivariate Covariance Analysis (MANCOVA) and One-Way Covariance Analysis.
Results: The mean (SD) age of the experimental group was 33.5 (6.90) and 34.76 (5.19), respectively. The results showed that the mean (SD) of self-care score increased from (49.11) to 49.7 (74.7) in the post-test (P > 0.001), but the mean (SD) The self-care scores of the control group in the pre-test (6.9) was 9.50, which was post-test (51.9), which was 3.3%. This difference was not statistically significant (P < 0.05). The mean (standard deviation) of hopedness score in the pre-test of the experimental group increased from (3.6) to 1.36 (35.4) in the post-test (P <0.001), but the mean (standard deviation) of hope scores. The control group in the pretest (4.9) was 26.4, which in the post-test (6.21) was 8.28, which was not statistically significant (P <0.05).
