Objective: Family as an important social factor affecting chronic pain is considered by researchers in the field of pain because it is one of the most effective environments for people's physical and mental health. Methods: Accordingly, a research was conducted to investigate the progression of phobia movement based on the dimensions of family functioning with a total of 100 patients with musculoskeletal pain using available random sampling. The questionnaires (FAD) and (TSK) questionnaire were used to examine the family function and the movement of chronic pain-related phobias. Results: The results showed that the relationship between total family function and fear of motion variable is significant (α = 0.219) at α = 0.05. This relation is direct and among the dimensions of family function, emotional blend, emotional responsiveness and communication the greatest relationship was shown with this variable, and the dimensions of family function explained the amount of phobia motion due to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion: This study showed that general family function can have an effect on panic disorder, problem solving, emotional blend, emotional response and direct communication.

Objective: Pediatric disease affects the health condition of their mothers. The present study conducted with the aim of examining the effectiveness of a mother-child attachment-based intervention on health indices in mothers of children with a chronic disease. Method: Method of the present study was experimental with a pre/post-test design. The subjects were twenty-two mothers who volunteered for this randomized controlled trial and had a child undergoing medical treatment for their chronic disease. After being evaluated by a battery of questionnaires that included Parenting Stress Index (PSI; Abidin, 1990) and 28-form General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28; Goldberg & Hillier, 1979) mothers were paired on the basis of health subscales scores, age, the number of family children, and the kind of their child’s disease. Each one of paired mothers was then randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. Mothers in experimental group received ten sessions of mother-child attachment-based intervention over a 5-weeks period with their children. Meanwhile, mothers and children in control group received 10 simple conversational sessions without any psychological intervention, as a dummy intervention. Both groups were evaluated again after completing their respective treatment regimens. Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed significant differences between two groups after treatment and revealed significant changes in mothers’ health indices including competency, social isolation, attachment to child, health, physical syndrome, anxiety and depression, in experimental group in pre-post-treatment stages comparison. Conclusion: It can be concluded that mother-child attachment-based intervention would improve quality of health in mothers of children with chronic disease.

Objective: Infertility prone people to depression and anxiety.disattention to infertile women’s emotional disorders reduces the possibilityof fertility. Psychological interventions can improve the mental health of infertile women. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stress management (cognitive-behavioral) training on the mental health of infertile women. Method: The present study is a semi-experimental survey done on a witness group. The related statistical groups are consisted of a number of sterile women recourse to Shiraz sterile center in summer 1390. For this reason, 24 sterile women having high stress scores were chosen. The chosen women were divided into two groups. The group stress management education (cognitive- behavioral) was performed during a period of 10 weekly sessions. The mental health questionnaires in two phases of pre and post tests were filled out. Also, data analysis was done according to descriptive statistical method and (covariance analysis), through using SPSS 18. Result: The average mental health score of experiment group in post test phase has increased meaningfully in comparison to the other group as well. Conclusion: The acquired results signify thepossibility of stress management education (cognitive- behavioral) to be employed as a useful intermediary method in dealing with sterile women

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of modified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) in catastrophizing, acceptance and severity of pain in Fibromyalgia patients. Method: This study was a semi-experimental study. 24 women with Fibromyalgia were randomly allocated to mindfulness intervention and control group. Then Pain Cataststrophizing Scale, Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire and Multidimensional Pain Inventory were completed by subjects in both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of multi covariance (MANCOVA). Results: The results of multi covariance analysis showed that cataststrophizing, acceptance and pain severity have significant differences between two groups (p< 0/01). Moreover, there are significant differences in subscales of pain cataststrophizing (rumination, magnification and helplessness) and pain acceptance (Activities engagement and Pain willingness) between groups (p< 0/01). Conclusion: The Results support effectiveness of modified mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in reducing cataststrophizing and pain severity, and increasing pain acceptance in Fibromyalgia patients.
