Objective: The use of stress coping methods in multiple sclerosis patients can lead to significant changes in the level of cognitive immune biomarkers. Therefore, the aim of this research was Investigatin on the Effect of Coping Therapy on Immunological Biomarkers among Multiple Sclerosis Patients. Method: The present research was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest method with control group. The study population included all patients with multiple sclerosis support member with MS. S. Tehran province was in 1397, 30 patients with M. S. Among eligible and volunteer patients, they were selected and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eight sessions of treatment as copping therapy, and the control group received the same number of routine care sessions. To measure of the hypothesis, human Immunological Biomarkers kits were used to measure and blood samples collected 3 times and psychologically intervention was coping therapy. Findings: The results showed pre-test and post-test and follow-up component of IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, INF-gama, white blood cells, lymphocytes and a significant difference (05/0> P) and grades stage follow-up measures remained fairly stable and lasting effect of the intervention is still coping therapy. Conclusion: The course of coping therapy improves the Immunological Biomarkers in patients with multiple sclerosis. In addition, this approach reduces the effectiveness of the intervention, follow-up time after the test had no effect

Objective: positive psychology is a scientific approach with a focus on strengths instead of weaknesses, building the good in life instead of repairing the bad. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy. Orientation on sense of coherence, self-efficacy, psychological well-being and resilience was performed in nurses. Method: This study was an experimental study with pre-test-post-test design with control and follow-up group. 30 Nurses were selected through convenient sampling. Subsequently, the participants were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. The experimental group received positive psychology training whereas the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups were evaluated before and after the intervention and in the follow-up stage through Antonsky Coherence Questionnaire, Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, Reef Psychological Welfare Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale.The Data were analyzed using repeated measure (ANOVA). Findings: The results of analysis showed that positive psychology training led to a significant increase in resilience, psychological well-being and sense of coherence in nurses. The results of follow-up test also showed that this method has enough stability and sustainability. However, no significant difference was observed between the intervention and control groups regarding self-efficacy. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, positive psychology interventions can be used to promote sense of coherence, psychological well-being and resilience in nurses.

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.

Finally, the data were analyzed by repeated measure at the significant level of 0.05. Findings: The results showed that the mean scores of depression, anxiety and stress in the experimental group were significantly decreased in the post-test compared to the control group and this decrease remained stable at the follow-up (p <0.001). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, group reality therapy can be considered as an effective intervention method in reducing the psychological problems of type 2 diabetes mellitus
