Abstract:   (380 Views)
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on psychosomatic complaints, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation in girls with a history of suicide attempts. The study was applied research with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included young girls with a history of suicide attempts in Hamadan, Iran, in 2025. The sample consisted of 30 participants (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) selected through convenience and purposive sampling. The research instruments included the Psychosomatic Complaints Scale (Takata & Sakata, 2004), the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire (Van Orden et al., 2012), and the Scale for Suicide Ideation (Beck et al., 1979). The experimental group received compassion-focused therapy in 8 sessions of 90 minutes, while the control group received no psychological intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and SPSS software.
The findings indicated that compassion-focused therapy significantly reduced psychosomatic complaints, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation in the experimental group compared to the control group.
Based on the results, compassion-focused therapy appears to be an effective approach in reducing psychological vulnerability related to suicide through decreasing self-criticism, increasing self-compassion, and improving emotion regulation, and can be applied in preventive and therapeutic interventions.
Keywords: Compassion-focused therapy, psychological pain, Perceived burdensomeness, Suicidal ideation.
