Objective: Nurses are more often exposed to cyberchondria owing to their frequent contact with patients. Thus, the present study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive and compassion therapies on the level of cyberchondria symptoms in nurses. Method: The research utilized an experimental method involving a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design. As for the sample size, 60 nurses from hospitals in Tabriz participated in the research in 2022. Through random selection, the nurses were assigned to three groups, i.e. metacognitive therapy, compassion therapy and control group. McLurry and Shevlin’s Cyberchondria Scale (CSS) was employed for data collection. Next, the researchers carried out data analysis with the use of the mixed analysis of variance model, Tukey's and Benferroni's post hoc tests, using SPSS statistical software (version 22). A significant P value of less than 0.05 was observed. Findings: The time factor proved to have a significant impact on the amount of cyberchondria dimensions. In other words, the level of cyberchondria dimensions decreased from pre-test to follow-up. Moreover, the interaction effect of time and group also revealed that there were significant variations among the three groups (i.e. metacognitive therapy group, compassion therapy group and control group) in terms of compulsion, distress, excessiveness and reassurance. In other words, the level of cyberchondria dimensions in the intervention groups was lower than that of the control group in the post-test and the follow-up phases. Conclusion: Given the effectiveness of metacognitive and compassion therapies on cyberchondria symptoms, it seems that the application of metacognitive therapy and compassion therapy interventions will alleviate and treat cyberchondria symptoms in nurses.

Therefore the role of coping process incancerous patients is so important for their health conditionMethod: The method of study is descriptive and correlation. approximately statisticcancer patients of Tehran is approximately 10000 to 12000, therefore, 400 patient(269 woman and 131man) recourse to therapeutic centers of Tehran includingImam Hossein Hospital and Dr. PayamAzadeh clinic were randomly selected andcompleted the Scuttle emotional intelligence inventory and coping style scales(CISS).Results: The result of t-test showed there is no significant deference betweenemotional intelligence and coping styles in man-woman and single- marital groupof cancerous patients. The result of Pearson correlation coefficient showed thereis positive relationship between emotional intelligence and its subscales and taskorientedcoping style. In addition there is positive relationship between emotionalintelligence and subscales and avoidance-oriented coping style.Conclusion: This data can be useful for creating and clinical approaches and withattention to important role of emotional intelligence and efficient coping stylesbecause of more healthy consequence and increase of patients resistance capacityin front of difficult conditions and better capability with designing andperformance of efficient learning programs it can be help strong then and supportthis elements.
