Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of EMDR and PC on quality of life in patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Method: The study was a quasi-experimental that included pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The statistical population included all patients with CABG referred to the rehabilitation clinic of Tehran Heart Center, and were selected using available sampling based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty-six randomly selected patients were divided into two experimental groups and one control group. In EMDR group, each patient underwent this treatment individually in six sessions, and the same was carried out for PC. The control group received no treatment. The research instruments included Impact of Event Scale and SF-36, which were performed on patients in all groups in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up. Data analyzed using MANCOVA. Findings: The results in the post-test showed a significant difference between EMDR and the control group in emotional problems and in the follow-up showed a significant difference between the two groups in physical function, emotional problems, energy / fatigue, emotional well-being and pain, and significant differences between the PC and the control group in emotional problems and emotional well-being. Also, the results did not show any significant difference between the effectiveness of the two interventions on the quality of life. Conclusion: It seems that EMDR and PC were both effective in enhancing quality of life. Also, there is no significant differences between the two treatments.
