Objective: The present research was aimed to study the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy in cognitive emotion regulation and ego strength among cardiovascular patients with obesity.
Method: The method was semi-experimental with pretest, posttest and 3-month follow-up with control group design. The statistical population included all cardiovascular patients with obesity in Tehran who referred to Shariati and Rajaei hospitals in 2019-2020. The sampling method was purposive method. Thirty patients were assigned in two groups randomly (15 patients in each group). The experimental group received emotion-focused intevention in 90-minute weekly sessions for eight weeks. The control group were in waitting list. To gather the data, the cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefsk and Kraaij., 2007) and the psychosocial inventory of ego strengths (Markstrom, et al., 1997) questionairs were implemented. The data were analyzed by SPSS-24 via analysis of variance with repeated measures.
Results: Results showed that emotion-focused therapy was effective in increasing positive emotional cognitive regulation (p<0.001) and ego strength (p<0.001). The effectiveness of this treatment in negative emotional cognitive regulation was not significant (p>0.05). The interactive effect of time group for the components of hope (P = 0.170, h2 = 0.018), desire (h2=0.182, P = 0.012), goal (h2 = 0.207, P = 0.005), competence (h2=0.141, P=0.042), loyalty h2=0.296, P = 0.001, F = 6.95), love (h2=0.317, P=0.001), care (h2=0.274, P=0.001) and wisdom (h2=0.190, P=0.011) are significant. The results of the Ben Feroni test comparing the effect of time showed that the difference in the average scores of the eight components of my strength in the pre-test-post-test and pre-test-follow-up stages is statistically significant, but the difference in the average scores in the post-test-follow-up stages is not significant.
Conclusion: According to the findings, it could be said that emotion-focused therapy was a reliable and a stable method in order to improving the psychological conditions of cardiovascular patients, especially ego strength and positive emotional cognitive regulation. In explaining the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy in increasing the strength of cardiovascular patients with obesity, it can be said that emotion-oriented therapy is by processing emotional experiences to cardiovascular patients in regulating their emotional functions and in this way achieve more consistent emotional responses that increase resilience and strength. Achieving adaptive emotional responses by modulating emotional responses and coping with disempowering maladaptive emotions increases my resilience in these individuals.

Objective: Obesity as a metabolical disorder is the origin of some health problems such as cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was comparing efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on activity and weight in obese individuals with cardiovascular disease. Method: The design of this semi-experimental research was pre/posttest with control group. Statistical population included all obese patients with cardiovascular disease referred to Sina clinic hospital in Tehran. 45 patients were selected by convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned into three groups. First group received CBT, second group received MBCT and third group considered as control group. Baecke habitual physical activity questionnaire and body mass index (BMI) were used as research tools. Mixed analysis of variance method was used for analyzing. .Result: Results indicated the significant effect of within subject factors in BMI and activity in leisure time, but in between subject factors groups has significant difference only in activity in leisure time, so that CBT and MBCT groups got higher scores in this variable. Conclusion: Based on results of this study, it can be said that CBT and MBCT can lead to increase activity in patients with obesity and cardiovascular diseases by changing the life style and cognitions.

Objective: The motivation for various activities is strongly influenced by individual perceptions of one’s activities toward those activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between situational motivation and perceived intensity of exercise in obese women to predict a change in positive effect from a Pilates exercise session. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 17 obese women with a mean weight of 87.4 ± 0.10, age 39.10 ± 10.0, and a body mass index of 35.9 ± 3.5 voluntarily participated. They responded to the positive affective questionnaire and situational motivation scale before the exercise program. Then performed Pilates training and immediately after the training, they again completed the positive affective questionnaire. The perceived was also measured after exercise. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and hierarchical regression. Results: The results showed a significant difference in the level of positive affect after-before exercise (P≤0.05). Predictive regression analysis was a positive effect on the interaction of internal motivation and perceived severity, as well as their interaction with the identified adjustment factor (P≤0.05). Conclusion: The current findings showed that Pilates exercises improve positive effect in obese women, also internal motivation was seen to be a strong predictor. According to the finding, strengthening the internal motivation in obese women is recommended for physical activity and attaining the positive effect of it.

Introduction: Studies have shown that overweight and obesity are associated with poor executive function and cognitive abilities. This can be due to changes in the structure and function of the brain, the aim of the study was to investigate executive functions, particularly inhibition control system and problem - solving in groups of overweight and obese children compared with normal weight children. Method: design study is causal- comparative. 41 primary school students, in 7 to 12 year age, Of the population of primary school of Tehran were selected as samples available in 1395. 21 students with excess weight and 20 students with normal weight were measured in Strop test, the Tower of London tools and BMI. Results: The results of T-test showed significant differences in the ability in inhibitory system function between two groups Conclusion: According to the findings, it seems the obese children and adolescents have poorer inhibition control system than normal weight peers. This deficiency can reduce the other cognitive abilities in long term and have an impact on children's academic and social success.
