Introduction: Progressive diseases such as Parkinson's disease, in addition to affecting a person's physical health, also affect his mental health and especially cause neurotic disorders such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy" on depression and anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Methods: In this study, a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design with a control group was used. The statistical population included all patients with Parkinson's disease referring to hospitals, treatment centers, and affiliated units of Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences. Among them, 40 people who had a score above 14 out of 63 on the "Beck Depression Inventory-2" and a score above 8 out of 63 on the "Beck Anxiety Inventory" were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups (20 people in each group).
A demographic questionnaire, "Beck Depression Inventory" and "Beck Anxiety Inventory" were used to collect data. The content and face validity were calculated by convergent method and reliability was calculated by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The intervention group underwent 8 sessions of 150 minutes of "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy" held once a week. The control group did not receive any intervention during the research and underwent intervention at the end of the research in order to comply with research ethics. The data was analyzed in SPSS .26.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of depression and anxiety before the intervention in the intervention (depression: 5.37 36.80 ± 80 and anxiety: 37.15 ± 5.37) and control group (depression: 34.00±6.09 and anxiety: 34.75±5.31) statistically had no significant difference, but after the intervention the mean depression and anxiety in the intervention (depression: 25.15±3.73 and anxiety: 23.3±80.86) and control group (depression: 34.40±5.91 and anxiety: 37.70±5.16) There was a significant difference. Also, the effect of the mentioned treatment was continuous in the follow-up phase in the intervention group. "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy" has a positive effect on depression and anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease with a significant level of P≤0.01.
Conclusion: The "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy" as an interventional method can be effective in reducing the symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, it is suggested as a non-pharmacological intervention with the aim of improving the psychological status of these patients.
