Based on this, the present study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on anxiety sensitivity and enthusiasm for life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

The statistical population of this research was all the patients who came to the private offices of gastroenterology specialists in Sari city in 1400 with complaints of irritable bowel syndrome, 30 people were selected by purposeful sampling and divided into two experimental groups (15 people) and control (15 people) were randomly divided. In order to analyze the data, anxiety sensitivity questionnaires (Rees et al., 1986) and enthusiasm for life (Hassanzadeh, 2014) were used. The experimental group underwent 16 sessions of intensive short-term psychodynamic intervention by Dovanlo (1990), but no intervention was done in the case of the control group. Data were analyzed through covariance test with SPSS version 22 software.
Results: The results indicated a significant difference between the post-test averages of the two experimental and control groups (p<0.05). Covariance analysis showed that cognitive behavioral therapy intervention has reduced anxiety sensitivity and increased enthusiasm for life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
