Background: Considering the increase in the number of patients with irritable bowel syndrome and their major problems in the field of sleep quality, rumination and ataxia, it seems that many of these patients lack sufficient knowledge and skills to properly manage such a condition. They do not have any problems. Aims: The purpose of the research was to compare the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on sleep disorder, emotional dyslexia, and rumination in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Methods: It was a semi-experimental research design of pre-test-post-test and follow-up type with control group. In order to select the participants, among the women suffering from irritable bowel syndrome who referred to the government counseling center of Kerman city in 2022, 45 patients were selected based on the entry and exit criteria of the study and were selected in three treatment groups focused on emotion, cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and evidence were included. Emotion focused therapy (Greenberg et al., 1993) was performed during 8 weekly sessions, cognitive therapy based on mindfulness (Segal et al., 2002) was performed during 8 weekly sessions, and the control group did not receive any therapy. Questionnaires for sleep disorder (Buysse, 1989), alexia (Bagby et al., 1994) and rumination (Nolen Hoeksima and Morrow, 1991) were completed in three phases: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The data were analyzed using the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements and SPSS version 23 software. Results: The results of mixed analysis of variance showed that emotion-focused therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy had a significant effect in improving sleep disorder and rumination in the post-test and follow-up phase (P<0.01); However, in the alexithymia variable, only the treatment focused on emotionality had a significant effect (P<0.01). Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that treatment focused on emotion and cognitive therapy based on mindfulness improves sleep disorder, rumination and emotional dyslexia in women with irritable bowel syndrome.
