Abstract: (165 Views)
Background: Anxiety, worry, or unease represents a widespread, uncomfortable, and ambiguous sensation of fear and concern with an unidentified origin, marked by uncertainty, helplessness, and physiological arousal. While numerous studies have explored the effects of various treatments on anxiety, no research to date has applied schema therapy to examine its impact on perfectionism, responsibility, and self-esteem in women experiencing anxiety.
Aims: The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of anxiety treatment using schema therapy on perfectionism, responsibility, and self-esteem in women.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental pre-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population comprised all women aged 20 to 30 with anxiety who visited the Hozour No Clinic in Tehran. From this population, 30 individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to either an experimental group (15 individuals) or a control group (15 individuals). Before the interventions, participants completed questionnaires on perfectionism (Terry-Short et al., 1995), responsibility (Gough, 1984), and self-esteem (Rosenberg, 1965). The experimental group then received schema therapy training. Finally, both groups underwent a post-test. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate covariance analysis with SPSSV19 software.
Results: The findings indicated a significant difference between the two groups in positive perfectionism (p< 0.019, F= 6.275) and negative perfectionism (p< 0.006, F= 9.136). Additionally, the results showed significant differences in responsibility (p < 0.009, F = 7.808) and self-esteem
(p< 0.001, F= 13.439) between the two groups.
Conclusion: The use of schema therapy in the treatment of anxiety reduces perfectionism and enhances responsibility and self-esteem. Therefore, awareness of this therapeutic approach can assist psychologists, counselors, students, and other professionals in improving the variables of perfectionism, responsibility, and self-esteem in individuals with anxiety.
