Method:The statistical population included the mothers of children with thalassemia in Tehran. The convenience sampling method was used to select 200 subjects as the sample.Results: The research evidence and the results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the perceived support had the mediation role in predicting psychological distress, based on coping styles, but it didn’t have the mediation role in predicting psychological distress, based on emotional control. Also the perceived support had a significantly direct impact on psychological distress (-0.75). Emotional control had a significantly direct impact on psychological distress, too (0.36). The significantly direct impact of coping styles on psychological distress and the perceived support was 0.36; however, emotional control did not have a significantly direct impact on the perceived support. Conclusion: According to the research findings, it can be concluded that the perceived support, emotional control and coping styles influenced the psychological distress among the mothers of children with thalassemia.
