Background and aims: AIDS is one of the largest deadly and chronic infectious diseases in the world. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of group training with a positive approach and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on the psychological well-being and productivity of people with HIV.
Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study. For this purpose, 45 people with HIV were randomly selected and divided into three groups of 15 people (Positive group training, ACT, and control). Reef's psychological well-being questionnaire and Connor-Davidson Resilience scale were administered for all three groups (pre-test). The participants of the experimental groups were trained in eight sessions of 90 minutes. Two weeks after the training, the post-test was performed. In order to analyze the data, covariance analysis was used.
Results: The results showed that positive group training and ACT were effective in promoting psychological well-being and resilience. Based on the findings, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of positive group training and ACT on psychological well-being and resilience of patients with HIV.
Conclusion: In summary, the results showed that both approaches (training of positive Approach and ACT) have beneficial effects on the lives of people living with HIV.
