Background: Today, with the increasing trend of urbanization and industrialization of societies, physical and mental diseases are increasing. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) on emotion regulation, quality of life (QOL), pain perception, and hostile documents in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: This research was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design, a control group, and a 2-month follow-up period. The statistical population comprised patients with cardiovascular disease at Tehran Heart Hospital, Iran, in 2023. The statistical sample, consisting of 30 individuals, was purposefully selected. Subsequently, 15 individuals were randomly assigned to the control group and another 15 to the experimental group. The intervention group underwent SFBT, comprising 8 sessions of 90 minutes each, conducted once a week. Data were collected and analyzed using the Affective Control Scale (ACS; Williams et al., 1997), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ; Melzack, 1975), and the Hostile Documents Questionnaire (Arnetz et al., 2003). The variance was analyzed.
Results: The results showed that with controlling the pretest, there was a significant difference between the scores of the control and experimental groups in terms of emotion regulation (P < 0.001; F = 40.716), QOL (P < 0.001; F = 110.980), pain perception (P < 0.001; F = 159.959), and hostile documents (P < 0.001; F = 168.955).
Conclusion: These findings indicate that SFBT plays an important role in controlling heart patients' emotions and QOL, so these findings can be used to formulate preventive and even treatment programs for heart patients.
