Abstract:   (652 Views)
Background and Objectives: Depression among adolescent girls is a common problem that affects their health behaviors. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Behavioral Activation (BA) and its combination with Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intention (MCII) on health promotion of adolescent girls with depressive mood.

Materials and Methods: The research was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with a control group. Among the female students of the first secondary school in Karaj city in the academic year 1400-1401, after screening 300 received questionnaires and according to the entry criteria, 45 people were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. BA and its combination with MCII were held in 10 sessions of 90 minutes. The health promoting lifestyle profile was administered before the interventions, after the interventions and 3 months later. The data were analysed by Analysis of variance with repeated measurements, Shapiro-Wilk, Levene, M. Box, Mauchly's Sphericity and Ben Froni's follow-up test, at a significance level of P<0.01 and finally for 40 people.

Results: The difference in the average of health promoting lifestyle components in the two experimental groups compared to the control group is statistically significant and both independent variables increased the average of the components in the post-test and follow-up stages compared to the pre-test. Also, the difference between the effect of BA and its combination with MCII on the components of health responsibility (p=0.036), spiritual growth (p=0.023) and stress management (p=0.030) was significant. So that the combination of BA with MCII has increased the average of the mentioned components more compared to BA.

Conclusion: Although BA is an effective method to health promotion of adolescent girls with depressive mood, despite this, its combination with MCII leads to more effective results.
