چکیده

Objective: Divorce can have multiple psychological consequences for divorced women.

The sample consisted of ۳۰ divorced women from welfare counseling centers in areas ۱ and ۲ of Tehran, who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: experimental (۱۵ individuals) and control (۱۵ individuals). The experimental group participated in ۱۲ sessions of Heimberg and Becker's (۲۰۰۲) cognitive-behavioral therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The Distress Tolerance Questionnaire by Simons and Gaher (۲۰۰۵) was used for data collection. Descriptive statistics followed by multivariate covariance analysis and univariate covariance analysis and SPSS software version ۲۲ were used for data analysis.Findings: The results indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly increased psychological distress tolerance (F = ۴۳.۶۳, p < ۰.۰۱) in divorced women.Conclusion: Therefore, cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective in increasing psychological distress tolerance among divorced women and is also beneficial in enhancing their mental health and aiding in the improvement of their living conditions.Objective: Divorce can have multiple psychological consequences for divorced women.
