Purpose: The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing stress and anxiety in hospitalized patients.
Methods: The research method is semi-experimental and pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population consists of patients hospitalized in Tehran hospitals. 30 people were selected using the convenience method and randomly assigned to two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group). Research data were collected through the Lavibond and Lavibond (1995) Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Questionnaire. Cognitive behavioral therapy was administered by the researcher in 8 sessions for 4 weeks, two sessions per week, each session lasting 60 minutes, for the experimental group. The control group did not receive any intervention during this period. The test results were calculated using SPSS software.
Results: The findings of the study indicate that cognitive behavioral therapy has an effect on the level of stress in hospitalized patients and significantly reduces it. Also, cognitive behavioral therapy has an effect on the anxiety of hospitalized patients and significantly reduces it.
Conclusion: Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients become more aware of their behaviors, emotions, and problems, and to regulate and manage their behaviors, they pay attention to targeted programs based on cognition and thinking, as well as directing their behavior to reduce stress and existential anxiety
