Objective: Smoking additionally is one of the risk factors for cancer, can play an important role in the recovery process of cancer patients. This issue is affected by several factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was investigating the role of emotional repression and ego – strength in predicting of smoking and non-smoking in cancer patients. Method: In this research that is a descriptive – correlative and cross-sectional study, from the cancer patients who referred to the chemotherapy part in Vali-e-Asr hospital in Tabriz during the April and May months of 2017, 120 patient were selected using the available sampling method. The instruments used in this study were Weinbergeret.al Adjustment Inventory (WAI) (1979) and Markstrom et.al Psychosocial Inventory of Ego Strength (PIES). Data were analyzed using software SPSS 21 and Logistic regression method.Result: Findings Showed that among the components of emotional repression, subjective experience of distress (β= -0.12) can predict smoking.The regression model of emotional repression for 73/3 percent of participants correctly predicted the results. About ego – strength, hope (β= -0.16) and purpose (β= -0.14) are able to predict of smoking. Also, ego – strength’s model for 77.5 percent of participants correctly can predict smoking. Conclusion: subjective experience of distress, hope and purpose are an important determinants of smoking in cancer patients. It is necessary to consider the role of these variables in smoking cessation interventions in cancer patients.

Objective:There is evidence of a relationship between mind and body about pain. The aim of this study was to study the structural relations among chronic pain, mindfulness and behavioral activation and inhibition systems.Method:The present research is descriptive-correlative, retrospective, and cross-sectional.In this research from 300 students, 166 students with chronic pain from the Payam-E-Noor University of Tehran were selected by voluntary and available sampling. McGill pain questionnaire, and five-facet mindfulness scale and behavioral activation and inhibition systems scale were used as research tools for data collection.Data were analyzed using correlation and structural equation. Results:The results showed that the hypothesized model fit is good and acceptable. Behavioral Activation System has a direct and negative effect on pain) β=0/38) and behavioral inhibition system direct and positive effect on pain) β=0/36). The Behavioral Activation System through the mediation of mindfulness has an indirect effect on pain and behavioral inhibition system through mindfulness has an indirect effect on pain.Conclusion: It can be concluded that behavioral activation and inhibition systems and mindfulness important determinants of pain.
