Method: the present study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and follow-up with control group. The study population consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes referred to Iranian hospital in Dubai. 45 patients were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and one control group. Training groups were treated based on quality of life and emotion regulation. Glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose were measured before, after, and 6 months after the intervention. Findings: the results showed that treatment based on the quality of life and emotion regulation was effective on biomarkers in patients with type2 diabetes (). Comparison of the means of the two experimental groups showed that there was no significant difference between their effectiveness on HbA1C (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference between their effects on blood glucose levels at the posttest stage (P≤0.01). Conclusion: the results of this study showed the effect of quality of life therapy and emotion regulation on controlling blood glucose and HbA1C in patients with type2 diabetes.

Method: The present study was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest, control group and two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the present study included the people with Parkinson in the city of Isfahan in the winter of 2018-19. 40 patients with Parkinson were selected through non-random available sampling and were randomly replaced into experimental and control groups (20 patients in the experimental group and 20 in the control group). The experimental group received training intervention of hope therapy based on positivist approach in ten ninety-minute sessions during three months. The applied questionnaires in this study included Self-efficacy (Sherer and Adams, 1994) and loneliness questionnaire (Russell, 1996). The data from the study were analyzed through repeated measurement ANOVA. Findings: The results showed that the training package of hope therapy based on positivist approach has significant effect on Self-efficacy and loneliness of Parkinson patients (p<0/001). However, this effect on the follow-up was also maintained. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that training package of hope therapy based on positivist approach can lead to the improvement of Self-efficacy and loneliness of Parkinson patients due to enjoying the methods of hope therapy and positivist psychotherapy.

Abstract: Aim. The purpose of the present research was to study effectiveness of group stress inoculation training (SIT) on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and life quality in the women involved blood pressure. Method: The method of research was semi experimental and with design is pretest- post test by control group. For sampling, by using of life quality questionnaire and manometer, 30 women that had low life quality and 130 above systolic and 90 above diastolic blood pressure were chosen on simple random basic and were divided on voluntarily experimental and control groups. Experiment group received 10 sessions of SIT techniques an control group did not receive any training. After receiving of training, life quality and blood pressure were measured for next time. Results: Results showed systolic blood pressure (3.09) diastolic blood pressure (3.17) life quality (3.30) P<0.05 revealed significant effect. Present investigation clarified importance SIT method on the decreasing systolic, diastolic blood pressure and increasing life quality of women.
