Abstract

Introductoin: Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine diseases. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotional-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on the emotions of obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test research design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was women with polycystic ovary syndrome in the age range of 20-40 (after puberty and premenopausal age) referred to the Ibn Sina clinic in Tehran. The sampling method of this study was purposive sampling: 45 obese female volunteers with polycystic ovary syndrome with body mass index higher than 30 in three groups of emotion therapy and treatment Cognitive-behavioral and control groups (each group consisting of 15 people) were randomly replaced. The instruments of the present study included a questionnaire of positive emotion and negative emotion scales. After completing the pretest, the intervention groups received 9-45 minutes of intervention in weekly sessions for 9 sessions in individual sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Data in the study were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferren post hoc test in SPSS-25 software at the level of 0.05. 
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of emotions in terms of group membership (experimental groups and control group) in the post-test stage. Therefore, emotion-focused therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy improved emotional scores compared to the control group (P<0.05). In addition, these two emotional therapies and cognitive-behavioral therapies had the same effect on emotions (P <0.05). In addition, the results showed that the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy on emotions continued in the follow-up phase.
Discussion and Conclusion: Psychologists can use these results in clinical interventions to use emotion-oriented and cognitive-behavioral therapies to reduce negative emotions and increase the positive emotions of obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
