Objective: The present study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in cognitive strategies of emotional regulation and general self-efficacy of mothers with children with cerebral palsy. Method: It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group design from the population of mothers with children with cerebral palsy in North Khorasan province,that 28 mothers were selected by available sampling and placed in two experimental and control groups. In the pretest, Garnfsky, Craig and Spinhaven (2009) and Schwartz (1981) general self-efficacy questionnaires were used. In the next stage, cognitive-behavioral therapy was performed on the experimental group. The control group did not received any intervention. After this step and after performing a post-test, the data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANOVA). Findings: The findings showed an increase in the mean of the experimental group in the self-efficacy variable and all positive cognitive strategies for emotion regulation.On the other hand, increasing the general self-efficacy score and positive emotion regulation strategy and decreasing the score of mothers' negative emotion regulation strategy. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study we can replace negative emotions with positive ones by informing and helping cognitive reconstruction and reduce mothers' psychological harm.

Objective: The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between body image anxiety and obsessive beliefs with body management in applicant of cosmetic surgery. Method: The method of the present study is correlational and structural equation model type. The statistical population of this study included all applicants for cosmetic surgery referred to clinics and beauty hospitals in Mashhad, 2019. Samples were selected by available sampling method (212 people). Data were collected by using three BICI body image concern questionnaires, Yale-Brown's modified scale of obsessive-compulsive disorder for body dysfunction, and body management, and they were analyzed by structural equation modeling using LISREL and SPSS software. Findings: The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the variables of concern about body image and body management, respectively, were strong predictors of the possibility of cosmetic surgery. Also, data analysis shows the appropriateness of the indicators and indicated a good and acceptable fitness for the hypothesized model at a significant level. The findings of the structural model showed that the path of obsessive disorder variable is directly and significant related to concern of body image and is related to body management by mediating anxiety about body image. Conclusion: In order to improve body management in the cosmetic surgery applicants should pay more attention to the components of their body image concerns and obsessive beliefs.
