Abstract:   (657 Views)
background: The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of emotion-oriented schema therapy on death anxiety in nurses with obsessive-compulsive personality traits.
methods: This research was practical and semi-experimental (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up) with a control group. The statistical population was nurses working in social security hospitals from 2021. The statistical sample consisted of 13 people in the experimental group and 13 people in the control group from nurses working in the Corona department, who had an average score on the personality questionnaire of the fifth diagnostic statistical guide and Templer's death anxiety. Experiment and control (13 people in each group) were randomly assigned. Templer's death anxiety scale was used to measure the research variable in the pre- and post-treatment stages.
The experimental group was treated with emotional schema therapy for 10 sessions of 120 minutes. The control group did not receive treatment. At the end of the treatment period, the post-test was performed. The data were analyzed with the help of SPSS-24 software and by the variance analysis method with repeated measurements.
  Result: The results of the analysis showed that this therapeutic intervention reduces the death anxiety of nurses with obsessive-compulsive personality traits working in the Corona ward. P < 0.01
Conclusion: emotional schema therapy intervention can be one of the effective treatment strategies to improve the death anxiety of nurses with obsessive personality traits. Therefore, holding training courses in this field is recommended.
