Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Meaning-Centered Group Psychotherapy (MCGP) on promoting meaning in the lives of individuals with spinal cord injury. This single-blind study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, follow-up, and experimental and control groups. Forty-three patients with poor meaning in life were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received MCGP, while the control group received no intervention. The data were collected by the Meaning in Life Questionnaire and analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The results revealed significant differences between the post-test and follow-up scores of the experimental and control groups regarding the presence of meaning in life and the search for meaning in life. Also, no significant difference was found between the post-test and follow-up scores of the experimental group, which demonstrated the stability of the treatment effects. In general, MCGP significantly improved the meaning in the lives of patients with spinal cord injury.

以意义为中心的团体心理治疗对促进脊髓损伤个体生活意义的作用

本研究旨在探讨意义中心团体心理治疗(MCGP)对脊髓损伤患者生活意义提升的作用。这项单盲研究是准实验的，包括前测试、后测试、随访、实验组和对照组。采用有目的抽样的方法，选取43例生活意义差的患者，随机分为实验组和对照组。实验组给予MCGP治疗，对照组不予干预。采用《生活意义问卷》收集资料，采用多变量协方差分析。结果显示，实验组和对照组在生活意义的存在和寻找生活意义方面的测试后和随访得分存在显著差异。实验组的后测和随访得分无显著差异，说明治疗效果的稳定性。总的来说，MCGP显著改善了脊髓损伤患者的生活意义。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
