Objective: MS is chronic and progressive in nature and affects various aspects of a person's life and affects his or her thoughts. The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts based on psychological hardiness and perceived Physical image in MS Patients. Method: In this descriptive correlational study, according to Morgan table and by available sampling method, 306 people were selected as a sample group from a statistical population of 1500 patients with multiple sclerosis in Qom in 1399. The instruments used were questionnaires of Suicide ideation (Beck, 1961), Psychological hardiness (Lang and Golet, 1981) and Body-Self relationships (Kash et al., 1987). Data analysis performed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression using SPSS22 software. Findings: The data showed that the tendency to suicidal thoughts was significantly correlated with psychological hardiness (r=-0.762, p<0.01) and perceived body image (r=-0.424, p<0.01) and also showed that psychological hardiness with beta -0.734 and perceived body image with beta -0.156 at the error level of 0.05 can predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the promotion of psychological hardiness in patients with MS allows access to a list of coping strategies against the pressures caused by events; improving body image perception leads to their problem-oriented approach to problems and maintaining their mental health.

Method: The research method in this study was a combination (qualitative and quantitative) in which quantitative data played a complementary role to qualitative data. The research community in this study were people who chose quarantine lifestyle during the corona virus epidemic. The sampling method in the present study was purpose-based sampling and the sample size was 474 people (309 women and 165 men). In the qualitative part, the data were categorized and coded using the content analysis method. In the quantitative part, spss-21 software was used to describe the data, and the results were coded and analyzed based on Glasser's five needs theory. Findings: Based on the results of the current research, 63 activities were extracted that were more prevalent among people during quarantine. Through these activities, people could satisfy all their needs and in this way create positive emotions in themselves. The inferential analysis of the findings of this research showed that there was a significant difference between men and women in the levels of the need for survival, love and freedom in all the activities performed, and among all the needs, there was a significant difference in the need for power and freedom between age groups. There was a significant difference in the studied case.

Objective: Post-traumatic growth and ambiguity tolerance are known as the most important psychological factors in cancer patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of predicting anxiety symptoms based on ambiguity tolerance and post-traumatic growth in women with breast cancer. Method: The present study was descriptive of the correlational type. The population of the present study was all women with breast cancer in two private centers in Tehran in the second half of 2017, of which 150 people were selected by purposful sampling to test the hypotheses. The participants answered Beck's anxiety questionnaires (1990), Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) and Ambiguity to tolerance (AT) Inventory (macline 2009, second version) and The obtained data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. Findings: The results showed that ambiguity tolerance explained 26.4% of the variance of anxiety symptoms in women with breast cancer. In the second stage, the inclusion of post-traumatic growth components into the equation explained 39.6% of the variance of anxiety symptoms. Also, among the components of post-traumatic growth, two components of life value and relationship with others negatively and significantly predicted anxiety symptoms in breast cancer patients. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be said that post-traumatic growth and ambiguity tolerance have a good predictive role in the anxiety symptoms of breast cancer patients.

Method: The present study is a randomized four-group double-blind clinical trial with mixed between-and within-subjects design. The research sample included 60 people with type 2 diabetes selected purposefully among the members of the Kerman Diabetes Association by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study. The participants, after matching in terms of age and gender, were randomly replaced in 4 groups of 15 people and the experimental groups received the relevant interventions in 8 sessions and the control group did not receive any intervention. Pre-test, post-test and 2-month follow-up of the members of all 4 groups were performed by 36-item quality of life questionnaire. Findings: According to the results of the SPANOVA analysis, the mean scores of quality of life (physical and mental health) in the post-test and follow-up phases were increased compared to the pre-test phase and the occurred increase remained stable until the follow-up phase. Conclusion: although medical training and self-care and psychological interventions are solely necessary and useful for people with diabetes, the combination of medical and psychological interventions are necessary to improve the quality of life and stability of the obtained results.

Objective: The purpose of the present study wasto investigate the efficacy of health literacy group therapy on the improvement of glycosylated hemoglobin and self-care activities in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: The current research was a quasi-experimental of pretest- posttest and control group design. The statistical population of this study included all patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to the subspecialty clinic for diabetes and metabolic diseases in Kashan, and 30 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly selected and assigned to two experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group intervention program was performed in eight 120-minute sessions but the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Data was collected using The summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure and Hemoglobin A1c Test and also were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and univariate analysis of covariance. Findings: The present study confirmed the effectiveness of health literacy-based group therapy on glycosylated hemoglobin improvement and self-care activities. The findings showed that the effect of the health literacy group therapy led to decreased glycosylated hemoglobin (p= 0.71) and also increased self-care activities in type 2 diabetic patients (p= 0.76). Conclusion: The results suggest that in addition to medical treatments, health literacy-based group therapy can be used to improve type 2 diabetes control indices to prevent complications of the disease

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy (MBSR) on wound healing and perceived stress in post abdominal surgery patients. Method: The statistical population included all patients who were candidates for abdominal surgery admitted to Golestan Hospital in Tehran. 75 of these patients were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into 3 study groups. The first group received an 8-session intervention of hypnotherapy and the second group received an 8-session MBSR intervention and the third group was considered as a control. Data were collected using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Scale (Bates-Jensen & Sussman, 2012) and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (Cohen et al., 1983) and analyzed by repeated measurement variance analysis. Findings: The results showed that hypnotherapy and MBSR have an effect on wound healing and perceived stress in post abdominal surgery patients (P <0.001). Conclusion: Hypnotherapy and MBSR accelerate wound healing and also reduce side effects and perceived stress in the post-test and follow-up phase in the above patients. Therefore, these two treatment models can be used as adjunctive therapy to prevent or reduce complications after abdominal surgery.
