Popis: This research is carried out in the pre test-post test, control group and semi-experimental design to detect effect of metacognitive training applied on depression and cognitive distortion levels of depression patients. Total of 77 patients diagnosed with depression, including 38 experimental and 39 control groups, compose the sample of the study. The data were collected by ‘Personal Information Form’, ‘Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)’ and ‘Cognitive Distortions Scale (CDS)’. Metacognition training was applied once a week as a group training as a total of 8 sessions. In the pre-test, no significant difference was observed in the experimental and control groups in terms of the mean scores of BDI and CDS (p > 0.05). In the post-test, it was determined that the mean scores of BDI and CDS were significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group (p 0.05). It was determined that metacognition training was effective in decreasing depression and cognitive distortion levels of patients. It is recommended that metacognition training is applied by mental health professionals in the treatment of depression.
