Objective: Considering the chronicity and long duration of multiple sclerosis and the importance of self-criticism and fatigue in these patients, the need to pay attention to the use of cognitive behavioral therapy and its third generation in these patients has been neglected. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive and behavioral training based on fatigue and cognitive self-compassion on the dimensions of fatigue and self-criticism in patients with multiple sclerosis. Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a post-test and follow-up design (2 months). Subjects with an age range of 20-40 years and with a scale of physical disability (EDSS) one to 5.5 and targeted sampling and voluntarily selected and randomly divided into experimental groups and evidence of division Were. Both groups answered the fatigue Impact scale (1994), Thompson & Zuroff (2004) in the pre-test-post-test and 2-month follow-up. The collected data were analyzed using mixed analysis of covariance with repeated measures. Findings: The results of analysis of covariance mixed with repeated measures showed that cognitive and behavioral training based on fatigue and cognitive self-compassion are effective on the dimensions of fatigue and self-criticism in patients with multiple sclerosis. Also, the effects of the intervention were maintained after 2 months of follow-up on the reduction of fatigue and self-critical scores. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, cognitive-behavioral training based on fatigue and cognitive self-compassion can be used along with drug interventions to reduce fatigue and self-criticism of multiple sclerosis patients in medical centers.

Objective: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the chronic diseases in which physical and psychological disorders are very common among these patients. Aim:The aim of this study was prediction of life expectancy based on quality of life, perceived stress and fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Method: The method of study was correlation. The statistical population of this study was all members of the Association of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Patients in the first half of the 1396 year that among the statistical population, 120 people were selected by simple random sampling method. The data gathering tool was questionnaires of MillerHope Scale (MHS), Quality of Life (SF-36), Quality of Life (SF-36), Product-service systems (PSS) and Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI). Data were analyzed using statistical tests of correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis with stepwise method.Results: The results showed that quality of life had a significant positive correlation with the life expectancy of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, but perceived stress and fatigue had a significant negative relationship with life expectancy in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Also the results showed that quality of life, perceived stress and fatigue was explained 39% of the total variance of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients that in the meanwhile, Perceived stress (Beta= - 0.34) had the greatest role in predicting the life expectancy of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and after that, respectively, were fatigue (Beta= - 0.22) and quality of life (Beta= 0.20).Conclusion: Considering the effect of quality of life, perceived stress and fatigue are suggested in the hope of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), while treating drugs to improve the psychological health and increase their hope,quality education courses based on quality of life and Based on reducing stress for them.

Objective: Cancer creates a lot of stress and can significantly affect quality of life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of stage of disease, illness perceptions, unmet needs and fatigue in predicting the quality of life of patients with cancer. Method: The sample consisted of 120 hospitalized patients in Tehran's Shohada hospital in 2014 that was selected purposefully. For data collecting, were used the Cancer-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (FACT-G), Fatigue in Cancer Therapy (FACT-F), Illness Perception (R-IBQ) and a Short-Form of Questionnaire for Needs of Cancer patients (SCNS -SF34). Multiple regressions was used to analyze the data. Findings: The general regression model showed significant role of disease stage, illness perception, unmet needs and fatigue in predicting the life quality of patients (p<0/01). Conclusion: In addition to providing physical care, attention to the psychological component in the lives of cancer patients to improve quality of life, will be important.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two non-medical treatment methods (progressive muscular relaxation and music therapy) on fatigue intensity of breast cancer patients. Method: Method of this study was experimental with design of pre-test and post-test on multi groups. The population were the total number of females who suffer from breast cancer and were introduced themselves to Shafa Partov Clinic in Ardabil province in order to radiotherapy from 2011 September until 2012 April. The samples (n=45, 16-45 years-old) were selected using available sampling and the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) was used for data collection. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics plus chi square and multiple analyses of variance (MANOVA). Findings: Both treatment methods were effective on reducing of fatigue intensity of cancer patients (pConclusion: It is advised that the therapists use the progressive muscles relaxation and music technique in order to decrease fatigue in cancer patients.
