Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate The effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy on adherence of doctor's directions of diabetic patients. Method: The method of this research was a Quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest design with control group. The population of the study included all diabetic patients, who were members of Diabetic Association in the city of Mashhad in 2018. Wich 30 of them were placed using purposive sampling method and were matching assigned to experimental group (n=15) and control group (n=15). Participants of the experimental group received 8-sessions of mindfulness-based therapy and the control group only used the common treatment. To collect the data adherence of doctor's directions questionnaires (Hayes & et al, 1994) were used. Data were analyzed using covariance method. Findings: The results showed that adherence of doctor's directions of patients participating in the experimental group significantly increased compared to the control group (P<0/05). Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that mindfulness-based therapy increases the adherence of doctor's directions of diabetic patients.

Objective: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in Iran and the world. It is chronic, progressive and expensive and creates many complications. This study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief in the prediction of quality of life in diabetic patients. Methods: The study was based on a descriptive correlational method. Statistical population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes in Ardabil city in 2015. 124 diabetic patients were selected as the statistical sample using the convenience sampling. Data were collected through Dugas and Sextons cognitive avoidance scale (2008), Wells metacognitive belief scale (2004) and the world health organization quality of Life Scale (1996). Research data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief with quality of life in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). Beta coefficients for predictor variables indicated that thoughts repression -0.16, thoughts succession -0.20, avoidance of threatening stimuli -0.22, changing image to thought -0.24 and metacognitive belief -0.12 have significantly predictive capability of Quality of Life in Diabetic Patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief are considered the predicting variables related to quality of life in diabetic patients.
