Introduction: The purpose of present study was investigating cognitive model of anxiety according to Dugas’s model about anxiety cognitive components in cancer patients. In this model cognitive variables such as intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, cognitive avoidance, negative problem orientation and their direct and indirect effects on worry and anxiety as structural and measurement were investigated. Method: Three hundred of cancer patients was selected from a hospital and chemotherapy clinic in Isfahan city. They were evaluated with intolerance of uncertainty scale, metacognitive questionnaire (positive beliefs about worry subscale), cognitive avoidance scale, negative problem orientation questionnaire, Pen State worry questionnaire and state- trait anxiety inventory. Data of research examined through structural equation modeling. Results: The results show that this model had good fit for cancer patients and relations between mediator variables, Endo and Exo variables are significant. Conclusion: significant variance of worry and anxiety are explained by this model in cancer patients.

Objective: This research was conducted to assess the effectiveness of LEARN stressmanagement program on reduction of perceived stress and worry among femalestudents of Payame Noor University in Tehran.Method: For this reason, among volunteers who their scores in perceived stress scalewere one standard deviation more than average (M=27.26, SD=8.32) and so theywere realized stressful, twenty- six participants, regarding to exclude- includecriteria were selected and randomly assigned into two experimental and controlgroups. All participants filled out all of the items of perceived stress scale andPennsylvania state worry questionnaire prior to and after LEARN program toexperimental group.Results: Data analysis by using repeated measures method revealed that perceivedstress and worry significantly improved among participants of experimentalgroup in comparison to control group (pConclusion: Therefore, LEARN program by its components could affect the stresscycle in different aspects, and led to stress and worry reduction.
