Introduction: The present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of meaning therapy and education based on acceptance and commitment to the resilience and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population of this research included all the patients with multiple sclerosis in Arak City in 2021, which were selected as an available sampling of 45 patients and randomly assigned to 3 groups of 15 people (two experimental groups and one control group) meaning therapy, therapy group based on commitment and acceptance and the control group were replaced. The measurement tools in this research were the Connor-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (1998). The experimental groups were respectively subjected to meaningful therapy and education based on acceptance and commitment for 14 sessions of 45 minutes, and the control group received the usual treatment. Statistical data analysis was done using the analysis of covariance method and SPSS version 23 software.
Results: The findings showed that after the intervention, both treatment methods improved resilience and quality of life compared to the control group, and the treatment results were maintained in the follow-up period (p<0.001); However, there was no significant difference between the two treatment methods in improving resilience and quality of life (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that meaning therapy and education, which are based on acceptance and commitment, along with other treatment methods, are effective intervention techniques for enhancing the resilience and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis.
