Objective: The present research aimed at examining the comparison the effectiveness of imagery rescripting and reprocessing therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on insomnia and negative automatic thoughts in cancer women. Method: This research method was semi experimental with pretest-posttest design. Using Kendal & Hollon`s negative automatic thoughts and Morien`s insomnia intensity questionnaires, 42 women of cancer who had negative automatic thoughts and insomnia were randomly selected and were voluntarily assigned in two experimental and one control group (each group was 14). The first experimental group received 7 sessions IRRT techniques based on the Smoker`s educational package (once a week) and the second experimental group received 8 sessions MBSR techniques based on the Kabat-Zinn’s educational package (once a week) and the control group did not receive any training in this field. After executing the IRRT and MBSR, negative automatic thoughts and insomnia of the members of the three groups were measured again. Results: Multivariate covariance analysis (Man Cova) was used to analyze data. Calculated F for negative automatic thoughts and insomnia showed a significant difference in all three groups, also IRRT has also been more effective in reducing negative automatic thoughts than MBSR but these two therapeutic methods have no significant difference in insomnia. Conclusion: In general, this research indicated that the IRRT and MBSR method can be considered an effective intervention in reducing negative automatic thoughts and insomnia in women with cancer.

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. Conclusion: This investigation showed with SIT training can cause decreasing of above blood pressure and increasing life quality of women
