Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of self-compassion treatment on the quality of life and self-esteem. The method of this study was experimental and group pretest-posttest design. The statistical community of this study included addicts' wives who referred to addiction treatment centers in Ardabil in 2022, from which 40 eligible women were selected by available sampling method and randomly replaced in the experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). The experimental group received 8 sessions of self-compassion-based treatment, while the control group did not receive any interventions. In two stages of pretest-posttest, quality of life and self-esteem questionnaires were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance. The results of the analysis showed that self-compassion treatment is effective in increasing the quality of life (3.45) and self-esteem (9.24) in addicts' wives (P<0.05). The results of the present study can be the basis for applying this intervention in addicts' wives and due to its greater effectiveness can be considered and have more practical implications for educators, clinicians, psychologists and psychiatrists.
