Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training based on virtual reality on perceived stress, pain tolerance, and sleep quality in women with multiple sclerosis referred to Golestan Hospital. The statistical population of this study included all individuals who referred to Golestan Hospital in Ahvaz with multiple sclerosis in 2015. The sample size was 30 women with multiple sclerosis who were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to an experimental group (15 people) who received mindfulness training based on virtual reality and a control group of 15 people who did not receive treatment. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The instruments used in this study included the Cohen et al.
Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983), the Pain Tolerance Questionnaire (McGill, 1997), the Boyce et al. Sleep Quality Questionnaire (1989), and the mindfulness training treatment protocol based on virtual reality by Pouyan et al. (1404). Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the effectiveness of mindfulness training based on virtual reality had a different and significant effect on the three variables of perceived stress, pain tolerance, and sleep quality of women with multiple sclerosis referred to Golestan Hospital in the experimental and control groups.
