Background: According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of Covid-19 is a global pandemic that leads to negative emotions in people involved, and because research has shown that teaching cognitive emotional regulation strategies is effective on people with negative emotions. Therefore, is an intervention program based on cognitive emotion regulation strategies effective in people with coronary heart disease crisis?
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of crisis intervention program on adaptive and maladaptive regulation strategies of people with coronary heart disease crisis.
Methods: This study was applied in terms of purpose and experimental in terms of method with pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all people with coronary heart disease in Rasht in 2020, from which 30 people were selected using the available sampling method and randomly substituted in the experimental group (15 people) and the control group (15 people). Were the participants of the experimental group received 10 sessions of crisis intervention plan. For data collection, the short version of the Persian version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire of Garnefski et al. (2005) was used. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the adjusted means of the experimental and control groups in terms of cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Thus, the crisis intervention program increased adaptive strategies and decreased maladaptive strategies in people with coronary heart disease. In particular, the program improves the situation in adaptive strategies in the components of insignificance, refocusing on planning, positive reassessment, acceptance and positive refocusing, and in inconsistent strategies in the components of self-blame, blaming others, rumination and catastrophe. Therefore, the research hypothesis that the effectiveness of the crisis intervention program on cognitive emotion regulation strategies of people with coronary heart disease crisis was confirmed (p <0.01).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be said that the use of crisis intervention program can increase adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and reduce maladaptive strategies in people with coronary heart disease and thus control their emotions, thus improving the mental condition of people with crisis. To cause a crisis.
