Your research study is about evaluating the effectiveness of **Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)** in reducing psychological distress among psoriasis patients and improving their self-compassion and Mental Health Locus of Control (MHLC).
The study highlights that psoriasis patients often suffer not only from physical symptoms but also from psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-judgment, and low self-compassion. Traditional treatments mainly focus on physical symptoms and may not fully address these emotional and psychological difficulties.
To address this gap, the study proposes MBCT as a psychological intervention that combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy techniques. MBCT helps patients become more self-aware, reduce negative thinking, and develop self-compassion without self-judgment. The research also explores MHLC, which refers to how much control individuals believe they have over their health outcomes.
The study aims to investigate whether MBCT can:
The research follows a quantitative experimental design conducted in phases. Initially, baseline levels of distress, MHLC, and self-compassion will be assessed. Later, MBCT interventions will be implemented and evaluated for effectiveness.
Overall, the study seeks to contribute to integrated psoriasis care by emphasizing the importance of psychological health alongside physical treatment, ultimately improving patients' quality of life and therapeutic outcomes.
