Keywords:
self-regulation, mindfulness-based cognitive program, depression, geriatric patients with chronic diseasesAbstract
This study employs a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group to 1) compare the average depression scores of geriatric patients with chronic diseases in the experimental group before and after participating in the self-regulation mindfulness-based cognitive program, and 2) compare the average depression scores between the experimental and control groups before and after the intervention The sample consisted of sixty geriatric patients with chronic diseases, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments included a self-regulation mindfulness-based cognitive program conducted weekly and the 7-color ball depression assessment form (11Q). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-tests to compare means.
The result revealed that 1) the experimental group exhibited significantly lower average depression scores after the intervention compared to before (M = 13.53, SD = 2.39 and M = 4.87, SD = 1.63; t = 3.32, p = .000) and 2) the experimental group had significantly lower depression scores after the intervention compared to the control group (M = 4.87, SD = 1.63 and M = 13.47, SD = 2.11; t = 3.14, p = .000).
The findings suggest that healthcare professionals should implement this program to reduce depression among geriatric patients with chronic diseases.
