Abstract

 Background: A large number of studies point to the widespread low level of subjective well-being in patients with coronary artery disease, especially in women. Although the Compassion-Focused Therapy has been an effective treatment in enhancing the ability to become sensitive to suffering along with trying to heal, the Interpersonal Psycho-Therapy also focuses on changing and modifying interpersonal relationships through positive therapeutic alliance; so, can the short-term IPT improve these patients' subjective well-being as well?
Aims: The present study tries to compare the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy on Women's Subjective well-being suffering from coronary artery disease.
Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design and a control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all female patients referring to the Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic of Afshar Hospital in Yazd. A total of 41 patients were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The instrument of this study was Keys and Magyarmo's (2003) Subjective Well-Being Scale For the first experiment group, the compassion-focused therapy (Gilbert, 2014, 2010), and for the second experiment group, the and interpersonal psychotherapy (Weissman, 2007) were delivered in groups and in eighat 90-minute sessions, but the control group received no intervention. The data were analyzed using the mixed variance analysis.
Results: The results showed that the CFT and IPT increased the subjective well-being and its components at the end of the intervention and the follow-up period (P <0/05). There was no difference between these two treatments in terms of increasing the subjective well-being in the women with coronary artery disease (p <0/05).
Conclusion: Considering its effects on subjective well-being, the IPT, alone or with a complementary treatment, can be effective in improving the subjective well-being in women with coronary artery disease.

Aims: The current study aims to determine the efficacy of interpersonal psychotherapy on action flexibility and blood- pressure in women with coronary artery disease.
Methods: The current study was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a follow-up period (45 days). The statistical population of the study includes all female patients with coronary artery disease who had an appointment at the Cardiac Rehabilitation in Afshar Clinic of Yazd in 2021; 28 of them were selected in a targeted method and replaced by random assignment in the groups. Data collection tools include Action flexibility questionnaire (Connor & Davidson, 2003) and sphygmomanometer. The data was analyzed using mixed variance analysis and SPSS24 software.
Results: According to the results obtained, interpersona psychotherapy significantly affects the flexibility of patients' actions (P>0.05). Although this treatment had a significant effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the end of the interventions, this effect was not effective in the follow-up stage (p<0.05).
