چکیده


 
هدف از انجام پژوهش حاضر، بررسی تأثیر درمان نوروفیدبک بر اضطراب کارکنان شرکت نفت و گاز کارون بود. طرح پژوهش، آزمایشی از نوع پیش‌آزمون- پس‌آزمون با گروه گواه بود. جامعه آماری پژوهش، شامل تمامی کارکنان مرد شرکت نفت و گاز کارون بودند. 40 نفر از کارکنان مرد به صورت در دسترس انتخاب شدند. پس از مصاحبه بالینی و با در نظر گرفتن ملاک‌های ورود و خروج، شرکت‌کنندگان انتخاب شده و به‌طور تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایش و گواه گمارده شدند. پس از آن، اعضای گروه آزمایش 40 جلسه آموزش نوروفیدبک را در طول 20 هفته و به‌صورت 2 جلسه 45 دقیقه‌ای در هر هفته دریافت کردند، در حالی‌ که گروه گواه هیچ گونه مداخله‌ای دریافت نکردند. مداخله نوروفیدبک، با استفاده از ابزار نکسوز4 و نرم‌افزار بیوتریس صورت گرفت و برای سنجش اضطراب نیز مقیاس خود‌سنجی اضطراب زانک (S.A.S) مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. تحلیل داده‌ها با استفاده از نرم‌افزار SPSS-21 و روش آماری تحلیل کوواریانس تک‌متغیری انجام گرفت. نتایج حاصل از تحلیل داده‌ها نشان داد که تفاوت معنی‌داری میان گروه آزمایش و گواه از لحاظ اضطراب وجود دارد. میزان اضطراب در گروه آزمایش نسبت به پیش‌آزمون و گروه گواه به‌طور معنی‌داری کاهش یافت. نوروفیدبک باعث کاهش اضطراب شرکت‌کنندگان در مرحله پس‌آزمون شد و این اثر در مرحله پیگیری نیز تداوم داشت.

چکیده [English]

Introduction
Anxiety is one of the common problems in industrial environments and its continuity may have a negative effect on one's cognitive ability and performance. One of the negative consequences of anxiety is decreased concentration. Focused attention is essential to doing the job well.The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of Neurofeedback treatment on anxiety in male employees of Karoon oil and Gas Company.
 
Method
The research method was experimental with pre-posttest, and control group. The study population consisted of all male employees of Karoon oil and Gas Company, that were matched on educational status, sex, not suffering from acute physical and mental disorders, and other criteria considered in this research, then randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 40-sessions of neurofeedback treatment. Neurofeedback treatment was administered in experimental group 2 sessions per week for a total of 40 sessions for 45-minute per week, but the control group did not receive any intervention. Neurofeedback treatment was carried out by using of Nexuz 4 and the bio trees software. For assessment of anxiety, Zank Self-assessment scale for anxiety (S.A.S) was used. ANCOVA was used for data analysis.
 
Results
The results indicated that there was a significant difference between experimental and control group in anxiety symptoms (p < 0.004). The rate of anxiety symptom significantly decreased in comparison with pretest and control group. These results significantly persisted after follow-up period.
 
Discussion
Neurofeedback treatment significantly decreased the anxiety in male employees of Karoon oil and Gas Company. So, using Neurofeedback treatment in all industrial organizations is recommended.
