The Effect of Cognitive Behavior Therapies on the Tendency of Women Suicides Suffering Mood Disorders Based on Frustration and Depression Indicators

Background: Depression disorders occur in all age ranges. However, the prevalence of this disorder is twice in women than men. Most women with a tendency to suicide or suicide attempts (successful or unsuccessful) they are suffering from major depression. Given the increasing mood disorders during the past three decades, evidences suggest that the cognitive-behavioral treatments are the most effective. Methods: This was a semi-experimental study, that was examined the effects of cognitive behavior therapies in woman with mood disorder that have a tendency to suicide. The subjects in this study were 30women in Imam Reza (SA) hospital in Mashhad with mood disorders who were selected by available sampling method. All of the subjects completed the Kazdian disappointment questionnaire and the (D) section of the mental health questionnaire. They were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Next, the experimental group received 10sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy sessions and post-test was performed on all of them. Covariance and independent T test were used in order to analyze the obtained data. Results: The obtained data showed a significant difference between the mean scores of the two groups after the intervention and based on T test value (0.745) at the significance level of Sig=0.001 in terms of H scale. Given the significant differences between the experimental and control groups after the implementation of therapeutic interventions and the control of other variables, ANCOVA was used. The obtained F value (134.242) at the significance level of Sig=0.001 confirmed the hypothesis that cognitive behavioral therapies in women would reduce the frustration level. The mean difference between control and experimental groups after the interventions based on T test value (0.762) at the significance level of Sig=0.001 indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the D scale. By using the covariance test at the significance level of Sig (0.001, the obtained F value was equal to 315.154, which confirmed the investigated hypothesis that cognitive behavioral therapies would reduce the depression rate in women. Conclusion: The results showed that participating in psychotherapy sessions was significantly reduced the levels of frustration and suicidal tendencies in women
