Abstract :
The present study aims to compare the effectiveness of community-based therapy and emotion-focused therapy on increasing distress tolerance and reducing suicidal ideation in Kurdish women. This study is applied in terms of its objective and quasi-experimental in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the study included all women with marital problems in Kurdistan Province in 2023 (1402 SH) who had marital issues and suicidal thoughts or suicide attempts, totaling 150 individuals. From this population, 45 individuals were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group, with 15 participants in each.Initially, all participants completed the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005) and the Beck Suicide Ideation Scale (Beck, 1976). One experimental group underwent 10 sessions of community-based therapy, while the other received 8 sessions of emotion-focused therapy. The control group did not receive any intervention. After the intervention, all participants completed the research instruments again.To analyze the data, multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were used. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 23.Therefore, implementing community-based life reconstruction training and emotion-focused therapy protocols can lead to increased distress tolerance and reduced suicidal ideation in Kurdish women.
