Aim and Background: One of the common problems in type 2 diabetes patients with depression symptoms is emotional distress, which causes many negative consequences for these people, so present study was conducted to comparison of the effectiveness of Autobiographical Memory Specificity training and acceptance and commitment therapy to the emotional distress of diabetic patients with depression.
Methods and Materials: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a follow-up period of three months. The statistical population of the study included people with type 2 diabetes and depression who were referred to medical centers in Isfahan city in the first six months of 1400. The final sample of the study included 50 Patients with type 2 diabetes and depression, who were selected through convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Then, the experimental groups received training on personalization of historical memory (8 sessions of 90 minutes) and therapy based on acceptance and commitment (7 sessions of 90 minutes) separately during two months. This is even though the control group did not receive the interventions and was waiting to receive these interventions. The tools used included an emotional distress questionnaire. Data analysis was done by software (SPSS-23) and mixed analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test.
Findings: The results showed that Autobiographical Memory Specificity training and acceptance and commitment therapy have a significant effect on the emotional distress of diabetic patients with depression (p<0.001). Also, the follow-up test results indicated no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two treatments on emotional distress (p≤0.05).
Conclusions: The research findings indicated that therapists could use the Autobiographical Memory Specificity and acceptance and commitment therapy to reducing the emotional distress of diabetic patients with depression.
