Abstract:
Background and aims: Subjective well-being as a major prerequisite of health ensures mental and physical health, a long life, happiness,
improved quality of life, and higher socioeconomic indices. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based
cognitive therapy (MBCT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on subjective well-being, psychological distress, and emotion
regulation in medical science students.
Methods: The statistical population of this semi-experimental comprised all female students at Kerman University of Medical Sciences
(Iran) in the academic year of ۲۰۱۹-۲۰۲۰. Forty-five students referring to the university counseling center were selected as the sample
of the study using convenience sampling and randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group (n = ۱۵ per group).
The first and second experimental groups underwent eight ۹۰- and ۴۵-sessions (twice a week) of MBCT and of ACT, respectively. The
research instruments included the Subjective Well-being Scale (SWS), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, and the Cognitive Emotion
Regulation Questionnaire.
Results: The results showed that MBCT and ACT were effective in improving the components of subjective well-being and emotion
regulation in medical students (P < ۰.۰۰۱). Moreover, MBCT and ACT significantly reduced the post-test scores of psychological distress
subscales in the experimental group compared to the control group (P < ۰.۰۰۱). Finally, no difference was observed between the two
therapies in terms of effectiveness.
Conclusion: According to the results, MBCT and ACT effectively promoted female students’ subjective well-being and emotion regulation
and alleviated their psychological distress.
