Introduction: Anxiety is the most common spectrum of psychiatric disorders and one of its most important types is a generalized anxiety disorder. Sleep quality is the psychological sensation that affects the quality of life and feeling healthy and also leads to symptoms of mental and physical illness. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy, biofeedback therapy, and their Integrating therapy on sleep quality in women with generalized anxiety disorder.
Methods: The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up with the control group. In this study, the statistical population of all women with a generalized anxiety disorder was referred to the Aramesh center of Boroujerd city in the year 2021 and using the available sampling method, 60 of them were selected and replaced in four equal groups. The experimental groups underwent cognitive-behavioral therapy (8 sessions), biofeedback therapy (8 sessions), combination therapy (8 sessions); but the control group received no training and remained on the waiting list. To collect data generalized anxiety disorder scale (Spitzer et al, 2006) and Pittsburgh sleeps quality index (Buysse et al, 1989). Data analysis was performed using SPSS-24 software in two sections: descriptive and inferential (analysis of variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni).
Results: The results of the study showed that three types of treatment in post-test and follow-up had a significant effect on sleep quality in women with a generalized anxiety disorder (P<0.05).  Also, Integrating therapy had stronger effects in the improvement of sleep quality than cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Based on the results of the present study and considering the greater effectiveness of Integrating therapy, it is suggested that Integrating therapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy with biofeedback therapy) is a treatment to reduce sleep problems in women with generalized anxiety disorder.
