Comparing the effectiveness of desensitization through eye movement and reprocessing with cognitive therapy based on mindfulness on sleep quality in people with primary insomnia

مقایسه اثربخشی حساسیت‌زدایی از طریق حرکت چشم و پردازش مجدد با درمان شناختی مبتنی بر ذهن آگاهی بر کیفیت خواب در افراد مبتلا به بی‌خوابی اولیه

This study compared the effectiveness of EMDR therapy with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on sleep quality in patients with insomnia.


Article Abstract

[Description in English, but resource in Farsi.]

“The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of desensitization through eye movement and reprocessing with cognitive therapy based on mindfulness on sleep quality in individuals with Primary insomnia. The statistical population of this study included all individuals suffering from Primary insomnia who sought treatment at private psychiatric clinic and the comprehensive health service centre of the Prophet (PBUH) between December 2022 and March 2023. The sample size was determined using Cohen’s table, resulting in 48 participants (16 in each group), who were randomly selected and assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The research data collection tools included the Petersburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire (1989). Mixed ANOVA analysis, post-experience tests, and version 26 of SPSS software were used for data analysis. The results indicated that desensitization treatment programs through eye movement and reprocessing, as well as cognitive therapy based on mindfulness, are effective in improving sleep quality in individuals with Primary insomnia. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the two treatments in improving the research variables. Therefore, it is recommended that therapists in the field of sleep disorders consider utilizing both treatments to address this disorder.”

“هدف پژوهش حاضر مقایسه اثربخشی حساسیت‌زدایی از طریق حرکت چشم و پردازش مجدد با درمان شناختی مبتنی بر ذهن آگاهی برکیفیت خواب در افراد مبتلا به بی‌خوابی اولیه بود. جامعه آماری این پژوهش شامل کلیه افراد مبتلا به بی‌خوابی اولیه مراجعه‌کننده به کلینیک روانپزشکی خصوصی و مرکز خدمات جامع سلامت پیامبر اکرم (ص) بودند که در بازۀ زمانی دی تا اسفند سال۱۴۰۱ به این مراکز مراجعه کردند. حجم نمونه از طریق جدول کوهن ۴۸ نفر (۱۶نفر در هر گروه) تعیین، به صورت در درسترس انتخاب و در دو گروه آزمایش و یک کنترل گمارش شدند. ابزار جمع آوری داده های پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه کیفیت خواب پیترزبورگ (۱۹۸۹) بود. جهت تجزیه و تحلیل داده های پژوهش از تحلیل آنوای آمیخته، آزمون‌های پس از تجربه و نسخه ۲۶ نرم‌افزار SPSS استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که برنامه های درمانی حساسیت‌زدایی از طریق حرکت چشم و پردازش مجدد با درمان شناختی مبتنی بر ذهن آگاهی بر بهبود کیفیت خواب در افراد مبتلا به بی‌خوابی اولیه موثر هستند و بین هر دو درمان در بهبود متغیرهای پژوهش تفاوت معناداری وجود ندارد. درنتیجه، توصیه می شود درمانگران حوزه اختلالات خواب جهت بهبود این اختلال از هر دو درمان بهره گیرند.”
