Introduction: Being overweight endangers not only physical health but also poses a significant threat to the mental health of people with the disorder. On the other hand, one of the concepts related to obesity and overweight is eating attitude. The present study aims to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on the eating mood and mental health of overweight people in the Dehdasht nutrition clinic and health centers at 20-2019.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 overweight people referred to the Nutrition Clinic and Health Centers in Dehdasht were selected by the purposeful method and then divided into intervention and control groups by simple random sampling. The intervention group received ten training sessions based on the cognitive-behavioral therapy group through the researcher for five weeks. The control group received only the routine training program of the clinic. Initially, immediately after the last intervention session and three months after the intervention, both groups completed the demographic Questionnaire form and the attitude of eating and mental health Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using inferential statistical tests (independent t-test, chi-square test, and repeated measures (ANOVA) in SPSSV.16 statistical software.
Results: In this study, 30 samples in two groups of intervention (15 people) and control (15 people) entered the final analysis stage. Repeated measures test showed that eating attitudes in the cognitive-behavioral therapy group were significantly reduced (P = 0.045), but changes in the control group were not statistically significant (P = 0.525).Also, there was a considerable difference between the mean mental health of individuals in the CBT group at different times (P = 0.001). Still, the changes in the control group were not statistically significant (P = 0.925).
Conclusions: According to the results of the study, it can be said that the cognitive-behavioral approach can have a positive effect on improving eating attitude and mental health of overweight people; Therefore, due to the high prevalence of obesity and overweight in Iran and its side effects in these people, as well as the fact that group therapy is a useful, low-cost, convenient and safe method and has no side effects, it is recommended to use this method as a useful method used by psychologists to improve eating habits and mental health of overweight people.
