Abstract

Several studies have combined the combination of two disciplines of psychology and cardiology to help with the help of psychology to better prevent and treat heart-related diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of schema therapy on D-type personality and medication adherence in coronary heart disease patients with the role of moderating work memory and prospective memory. This experimental study was carried out in a single-subject experimental manner by controlling the multiple baselines simultaneously and with adherence of 6 weeks. Five men with heart disease were selected through targeted sampling from among those referring to Razavi supersonic hospital. Patients participated in this study after the treatment conditions. The effectiveness of the treatment protocol in 3 stages (baseline, 10-session treatment, and 6-week follow-up) using the D-type Personality Questionnaire, PMQ, Wechsler’s Memory Testimonial Questionnaire, and MMAS- 8) were investigated. The data were analyzed using Visual Drawings, Permanent Change Index (RCI), and Percentage Improvement Formula. The results showed that the effect of schema therapy on the reduction of personality type D, increased working memory, perspective, and adherence to medical treatment of cardiac patients was statistically significant (P <0.05) and clinical significance. Schematic therapy is effective in reducing personality D, increasing working memory, perspective, and medication adherence of inclusive medical therapy.
