Objective: Obesity is one of the health threatening problems and the second preventable mortality factor, the prevalence of which is increasing. The most frequent consequence of obesity treatment among adults is weight regain; so, preventing gradual weight regain should be the first goal in this case. The present study aims at determining the predictive power of biological, psychological and social factors in maintaining weight in the overweight and the obese.
Method: Therefore, 157 obese women referred to Sina Hospital Obesity Clinic were selected by purposeful sampling method. The subjects filled out the self-report questionnaires at the beginning of the study. Then, they underwent diet and sport medicine interventions. At the end of the sixth month, weight of the subjects was measured and the weight loss was studied.
Results: Results obtained from stepwise regression analysis indicated that among the studied variables of the research, subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state and trait anxiety, body areas satisfaction (BAS) and appearance evaluation (AE) have more predictive power in explaining weight maintenance variance and could explain successful weight maintenance by 37%.
Conclusion: The findings of the study show that weight maintenance has a positive meaningful relationship with subjective weight (SW), weight cycling, state anxiety and body areas satisfaction (BAS); also, there is a meaningful negative relationship with the said variable and trait anxiety and appearance evaluation (AE). Hence, programming for cognitive and emotional interventions is assumed necessary in clinical interventions for obesity.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare cognitive rehabilitation and mixed treatment of cognitive rehabilitation with emotion regulation on quality of life in patients with HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND). Method: This study was a quasi-experimental research conducted in form of pretest-posttest and follow-up, with two experimental groups. 46 HIV patients that had HIV-associated Neurocognitive Disorder, were selected and were included randomly in two experimental group (n=23). One experimental group administered a cognitive rehabilitation and another experimental group received both cognitive rehabilitation and emotion regulation. Participants completed the WHOQOL-HIV-BREF questionnaire in the pretest, posttest and follow-up assessment. The data were analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measure. Result: The results illustrate that the two groups differed at post-assessment. In particular, the experimental group 2 showed a remarkable improvement in WHOQOL-HIV-BREF. At the follow-up assessment, the experimental group 2 also showed more improvement than experimental group 1. However, there was a slight decrease in follow-up assessment in comparison to the post-assessment in both groups. Conclusion: The results showed that combination therapy of cognitive rehabilitation and emotion regulation is more effective than cognitive rehabilitation alone, in improving the quality of life of HIV patients with neurocognitive disorders (HAND).

Objective: This research aimed to predict the quality of life of hemodialysis patients based on alexithymia, anxiety sensitivity, and psychological hardiness. Methods: The current research was of a descriptive-correlational type. The statistical population of this study included all patients undergoing hemodialysis in Isfahan City in 2022. Accordingly, 294 participants (180 men, 114 women) selected using the available sampling method. Data collection tools include the alexithymia scale (Bagby and Parker, 1994), anxiety sensitivity scale (Reiss et al., 1986), psychological hardiness scale (Kiamarthi et al., 1998), and quality of life scale (World Health Organization, 1996). The research data collected using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and step-by-step regression using SPSS-27 software. Results: The results showed that alexithymia, anxiety sensitivity, and psychological hardiness could predict 49.5% of the variance in quality of life. Alexithymia predicted 42% of the variance of quality of life (P<0.01, β=-0.420), anxiety sensitivity predicted 25/7% of the variance of quality of life (P<0.01, β=-0/257), and psychological hardiness predicted 25/5% of the variance of quality of life (P<0.01, β=0.255). Conclusion: Based on this, it can to conclude that alexithymia and anxiety sensitivity are among the factors that play an effective role in reducing the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Alexithymia is a dysfunction in emotional processing that leads to a decrease in the ability to identify and diagnose emotions. When a person suffers from advanced kidney disease, i.e., undergoes hemodialysis, he faces problems and defects in the fields of self-esteem and independence in performing health and personal behaviors, so the high level of anxiety sensitivity and these physical worries in these people can be considered a common reaction in chronic patients. Since the quality of life defined and interpreted depending on the definition of the individual and his beliefs regarding the situation in which the individual is, these patients find their quality of life low. On the other hand, hemodialysis patients faced with an uncertain future and the inability to maintain the previous values of life, or at least the inability to follow these values as before the disease, since they find themselves unable to make changes in the said disease. Therefore, they become aroused faster and try less than healthy people to control their emotional situations, such as anxiety and physical changes. Accordingly, replanting and planning for the development and training of psychological hardiness in hemodialysis patients leads to an increase in the quality of life

Abstract:Of cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death in human societies leads to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) as the most common intervention. The length of hospital stay after surgery is an estimate of the success rate of surgery that cannot be completely explained by demographic and medical factors. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of psychological factors along with medical and demographic factors on the length of hospital stay after CABG surgery. In this study, 150 patients (30 females and 120 males) were selected from the convenience sampling method, among patients referred to Tehran Heart Center of Shahid Rajaie Hospital who were candidates for CABG surgery. Patients were asked to complete the questionnaire of 21 questions for anxiety- depression- stress (DASS-21). Stepwise regression analysis for psychological, medical and demographic variables showed that the most important variables to predict the length of hospital stay after surgery were anxiety and depression, diabetes and high blood pressure, age and gender. Thus, the results showed that the use of pre-operative assessment of these variables in the clinical setting, we can identify those patients for whom surgery may not be successful.
