Objective: Cancer is one of the diseases that is the cause of many deaths in the world today, and it is also one of the types of chronic diseases that has attracted the attention of many researchers. Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery Training is a specific intervention to improve the psychological problems of cancer patients, therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery Training on catastrophizing the perceived pain and stress of cancer patients. Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all cancer patients who were diagnosed with cancer in 2021 at Shahid Rajaei Center in Babolsar city. The study sample of 30 people was selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into two groups of 15 people (control group of 15 people and experimental group of 15 people). The experimental group was trained in Carlson and Speka's Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery, which was held in the form of 8 sessions of 90 minutes and held once a week. The pain catastrophizing questionnaire of Sullivan et al. (1995) and the perceived stress scale of Cohen, Kamrak and Mermelstein (1983) were used to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis in SPSS 27 software. Results: Before performing covariance analysis, its assumptions were first tested.Accordingly, by examining the results of the Shapiro-Wilk test, it was found that the sample distribution of the data in the variables of positive perception of stress, negative perception of stress and catastrophizing of pain is normal.To check the homogeneity of variances, Levine's test was used for the variable of pain catastrophizing (p>0.05; F=0.004) and the variable of perceived stress (p>0.05; F=0.074). The results showed that the assumption of equality of variances of two groups is maintained at the community level.In this regard, the box test also confirmed the assumption of homogeneity of variance and covariance of the two groups (p>0.05; F=1.136). The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that after controlling for pre-test effects, there was a significant difference between the average scores of the two experimental and control groups in the variables of pain catastrophizing and perceived stress (p<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, it is concluded that the healing of cancer based on mindfulness is a desirable and suitable intervention to influence the catastrophizing of pain and perceived stress of cancer patients.

Objective: Physiological signs of stress can account to a preventive factor in the treatment of cancer by weaken the immune system. This study conducted in order to investigate the effectiveness of narrative exposure therapy on improving of stress physiological indexes in women with cancer.Method: This study is a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest along with control group. The statistical population of this study included all female cancer patients, hospitalized in the summer of 1395 in Radiology and Oncology wards of Motahari hospital of Foolad Shahr city. The thirty person from these patients selected by purposive sampling and randomly replaced into two groups (n = 15) and control (n = 15). The biofeedback device, Manufactured by Ravan Tajhiz Company is used to collect data on the pre-test and post-test. Experimental group were received 6 sessions of 90 minutes of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET). Collected data was analyzed by MANCOVA test using SPSS18 software. Result: there were significant differences between two groups at the variables of the skin sweating (P<0/002), S=skin temperature (0/001) and heart rate (P<001). Conclusion: The results suggest that NET could be a useful treatment for reduction of the physiological symptoms of stress in cancer patients.

Objective: Current study was conducted in order to investigate the relationship ofreligious orientation and death attitudes with quality of life and somatizationsymptoms in women.Method: Whole women, lived in Urmia in spring 2012, comprised statistical societyof this study. 140 women, who had been selected randomly by multistage clustersampling method, responded orderly to the questionnaires of religious orientation,attitudes toward death, quality of life and somatization symptoms .Collected datawere analyzed by Pearson correlation and regression tests.Results: The results showed that quality of life has a positive correlation with internalreligious orientation and the attitudes of approach acceptance toward death.Somatization symptoms also related positively to the attitudes of avoidance ofdeath and escape acceptance. Furthermore results of regression analyze showedthat 14 percent of women’s life quality variance was explained by internalreligious orientation and the attitudes of avoidance of death. Regression ofsomatization symptoms based on religious orientation and attitudes about deathwas not significant.Conclusion: This results reveal religious and spiritual bases and consequently thedeath attitudes as one of the effective variables on the women quality of life andtheir health.
