Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction on perceived stress, negative mood, self-efficacy, and pain perception in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study included all patients with rheumatoid arthritis referred to Tehran Shariati hospital. A sample of 40 patients (20 females and 20 males) was selected with targeted sampling from this population and were randomly assigned into experimental (10 male and 10 female) and control (10 male and 10 female) groups. In this intervention, the experimental group underwent mindfulness-based stress reduction program during 8 sessions for 2 months, 2 hours per week, and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The experimental and control groups also completed the Perceived Stress Scale by Cohen et al (1983), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale by Lovibond & Lov bond (1995), the Self-efficacy Scale by Sherer et al (1982), and the McGill pain questionnaire by Melzack (1975) at pre-test and post-test. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings: The results showed that in the post-test phase, mindfulness-based stress reduction treatment significantly (p<0/001) increased self-efficacy and significantly (p<0/001) reduced perceived stress, negative mood, and pain perception in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: Mindfulness-based stress reduction can be effective in increasing self-efficacy and decreasing perceived stress, negative mood, and pain perception in these patients.

Objective: Chronic pain affects a person's thinking, performance and feelings, causing various limitations in a person's life. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between pain perception based on childhood trauma and mediated emotion regulation in people with chronic pain. Method: The method of the present study is a descriptive correlational method of structural equation modeling (path analysis). From patients referred to pain clinics in Tehran in 1399, 300 patients with chronic pain were selected by convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study included Granfsky and Craig's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), Bernstein Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and Visual Pain Scale (VAS). SPSS and Amos software were used to analyze the data. Findings: The results indicate that each of the positive and negative emotion regulation strategies plays a mediating role in the relationship between pain perception and childhood trauma in patients with chronic pain. Conclusion: The tendency of individuals to use positive or negative cognitive emotion regulation strategies can be a determining factor in the impact of childhood trauma on the perception of chronic pain.
