Objective: Depression is a disability factor all over the universe, which significantly increases the global burden of the disease. More than 350 million people in the world suffer from depression, among which one of the significant consequences is the increased suicide rates and attempted suicide. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy on cognitive flexibility, impulsivity, and social adjustment in depressive patients with attempted suicide.
Methods and Materials: The research design was semi-experimental, with experiment and control groups and pre-test and post-tests. The statistical population of this research included all depressive patients with attempted suicide in Ilam during 2019; among them, 30 people were chosen in terms of simple random sampling and assigned into experimental and control groups. The research instrument includes the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (Dennis & Vanderwal, 2010), Impulsivity (Barrat, 1994), Social Adjustment (Bell, 1961), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Package (Linehan, 1993). Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and non-variable analysis (ANCOVA) were used to analyze the data. The analyses were performed using 26 versions of SPSS 26 software.
Findings: The results indicated that Dialectical Behavioral Therapy was effective in cognitive flexibility (F=265.441, P<0.000), impulsivity (F=484.471, P<0.000), and social adjustment (F=1065.787, P<0.000) in depressive patients with attempted suicide
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, dialectical behavioral therapy is helpful to treat depression disorders and intervene in critical situations such as attempted suicide.
