T
he purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral stress management intervention on
general health and quality of life in patients with cardiovascular diseases in Ahvaz. The available samples were used for
selecting the subjects so that 30 individuals from the cardiovascular patients were selected to participate in the survey and
were divided randomly into two groups, experimental and control every 15 persons. All the participants answered the General
Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Questionnaire (Who-QOL-BRIEF).
The experimental group received 10 sessions of stress management training by the cognitive- behavioral method. At the post-
test stage, the responses of both groups to the questionnaires were recorded again. The data was analyzed using MANCOA. The
results showed that cognitive-behavioral stress management intervention had a positive significant effect on the general health
and the quality of life of the treatment group. The findings show that cognitive-behavioral stress management intervention
can be effective as a selective psychotherapy method and also as a supplement in the medical treatment of the cardiovascular
patients.
