Abstract :

This study intended to compare the effectiveness of group training of anger management based on cognitive reconstructing and mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) on mental fatigue, perceived stress, and emotion regulation in nurses. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-, and post-test design and a control group, statistical population included all the nurses of Shafa hospital in Urmia (n=85), among them 45 people were selected through on-hand method and were randomly assigned in two experimental and one control groups (each group 15 people). The research instruments included mental fatigue scale (Feron & Tidel), perceived stress scale (Cohen), and emotions questionnaire (Watson) and anger management based on cognitive reconstructing and MBSR packages. Data analysis was done by one-way analysis of covariance with SPSS software. The findings indicated that MBSR was more effective than anger management based on cognitive reconstructing regarding decreased perceived stress. No significant difference was observed regarding the effectiveness of two methods on both variables of mental fatigue and emotion regulation (in sig level of 0.05). In conclusion, participating in anger management training sessions based on cognitive restructuring and MBSR makes nurses familiar with their feelings, emotions and thoughts and can control their negative emotions, thereby experiencing lower levels of perceived stress and mental fatigue.
