Abstract: (31 Views)
Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of positive group psychotherapy on the mood and perfectionism of medical students.
Methods: The present study is a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population includes medical students in Tehran who agreed to participate in the study. Of these, 30 were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group). Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Questionnaire and Watson et al.'s (1988) Positive Affect Questionnaire were used to collect data. Positive group psychotherapy was administered by the researcher in 8 sessions for 4 weeks, two 60-minute sessions per week for the experimental group. The control group did not receive any intervention during this period. The results of the experiments were calculated using SPSS software.
Results: The findings of the study show that positive group psychotherapy has an effect on the level of medical students' mood and significantly improves it. Also, positive group psychotherapy has an effect on the level of medical students' perfectionism and significantly reduces it.
Conclusion: Using positive group psychotherapy methods can be effective in treating many mental problems and disorders, including perfectionism and improving the mood of people affected by negative events.
