Interventions for people suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD), such as dialectical behavior therapy, often include a problem-solving component. However, there is an absence of published studies examining the problem-solving abilities of this client group in Iran. The study compared inpatients and outpatients with BPD and a control group on problem-solving capabilities in an Iranian sample. It was hypothesized that patients with BPD would have more deficiencies in this area.
Fifteen patients with BPD were compared to 15 healthy participants. Means-ends problem-solving task (MEPS) was used to measure problem-solving skills in both groups.
BPD group reported less effective strategies in solving problems as opposed to the healthy group. Compared to the control group, participants with BPD provided empirical support for the use of problem-solving interventions with people suffering from BPD.
The findings supported the idea that a problem-solving intervention can be efficiently applied either as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other available psychotherapies to treat people with BPD.
针对边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者的干预措施，如辩证行为疗法，通常包含问题解决部分。然而，在伊朗，尚无已发表的研究考察该患者群体的问题解决能力。本研究在一个伊朗样本中，比较了BPD住院患者和门诊患者与一个对照组在问题解决能力方面的差异。研究假设BPD患者在这方面会有更多缺陷。
将15名BPD患者与15名健康参与者进行比较。采用手段-目的问题解决任务（MEPS）来测量两组的问题解决技能。
与健康组相比，BPD组在解决问题时报告的策略效果较差。与对照组相比，BPD参与者为对BPD患者使用问题解决干预措施提供了实证支持。
研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即问题解决干预措施既可以作为一种独立疗法有效应用，也可以与其他现有的心理治疗方法结合使用，以治疗BPD患者。
