    Abstract: 
    This research seeks to investigate the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive therapy on reducing the psychological symptoms of cancer patients. This research project is quasi experimental design with a pre-test, post- test given to a control group. From among 300 patients supported by Arezoo Charity Center in Pars Abad Moqan, 30 patients (15 females and 15 males) were chosen and divided into two groups: experimental group and control group, and convenience sampling was used in this study which was based on SCL-25 Symptom Checklist. The experimental group attended 8 two-hour sessions on religion-based cognitive therapy, whereas the control group received no treatment. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used for making a comparison between the means. The results show that religion-based cognitive therapy reduces all the aspects in SCL-25 scale except schizophrenia, somatization and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Moreover, religion-based cognitive therapy can be used as a supplementary treatment alongside the medical treatments to cure the psychological problems of cancer.

    Title :کارآمدی شناخت درمانی مذهب محور بر کاهش نشانه های روان شناختی بیماران مبتلا به سرطان
    Abstract: 
    با توجه به اهمیت مداخلات معنوی در درمان مشکلات روان شناختی، این پژوهش با هدف تعیین میزان کارآمدی شناخت درمانی مذهب محور بر کاهش نشانه های روان شناختی بیماران مبتلا به سرطان اجرا شد. این پژوهش یک طرح نیمه آزمایشی از نوع پیش آزمون و پس آزمون با گروه گواه می باشد. از میان 300 بیمار تحت حمایت مؤسسه خیریه آرزو در شهرستان پارس آباد مغان 30 بیمار (15زن و 15 مرد) با استفاده از نمونه در دسترس، در دو گروه آزمایشی و گواه جایگزین شدند. ابزار پژوهش، پرسش نامه فهرست نشانگان روان شناختی (SCL-25) بود. اعضای گروه آزمایش در 8 جلسه 2 ساعته تحت شناخت درمانی مذهب محور قرار گرفتند، اما گروه کنترل مداخله ای دریافت نکرد. برای مقایسه میانگین ها از تحلیل کواریانس چند متغیری (MANCOVA) استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که شناخت درمانی مذهب محور نشانه های روان شناختی همه ابعاد مقیاس SCL-25، بجز روان گسستگی، جسمانی سازی و وسواس فکری- عملی را کاهش می دهد. همچنین شناخت درمانی مذهب محور، می تواند به عنوان یک درمان مکمل در کنار درمان های پزشکی برای بهبود مشکلات روان شناختی بیماران مبتلا به سرطان در نظر گرفته شود.
