Introduction: Depression is the most common mental health disorder in adolescence while positive youth development plays the role of a reducing factor in this regard. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy and existentialism acceptance and commitment therapy on positive youth development in depressed adolescent girls.
Methods: The present study was a semi-experimental with pretest-posttest and follow-up design. The statistical population of the study was depressed adolescent girls in district 3 of Isfahan in 2021. The study sample included 45 participants who were selected by the purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental and groups. For the experimental group, ten sessions of compassion-focused therapy and existentialism acceptance and commitment therapy were performed, while the control group did not receive any treatment. The positive youth development questionnaire of Geldhof and colleagues was utilized to collect the data and the Kutcher adolescent depression scale was used for primary screening. Data were analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that compassion-focused therapy and existentialism acceptance and commitment therapy had a significant effect on improving positive youth development (P-Value<0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference between the effect of two treatments on improving positive youth development (MD=-3.456, P-Value =0.026).
Conclusion: Considering the effect of compassion-focused therapy and existentialism acceptance and commitment therapy in the experimental group, these interventions can be used to increase positive youth development through reducing the risk of depression.
