Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction on perceived stress, negative mood, self-efficacy, and pain perception in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study included all patients with rheumatoid arthritis referred to Tehran Shariati hospital. A sample of 40 patients (20 females and 20 males) was selected with targeted sampling from this population and were randomly assigned into experimental (10 male and 10 female) and control (10 male and 10 female) groups. In this intervention, the experimental group underwent mindfulness-based stress reduction program during 8 sessions for 2 months, 2 hours per week, and the control group was placed on the waiting list. The experimental and control groups also completed the Perceived Stress Scale by Cohen et al (1983), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale by Lovibond & Lov bond (1995), the Self-efficacy Scale by Sherer et al (1982), and the McGill pain questionnaire by Melzack (1975) at pre-test and post-test. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings: The results showed that in the post-test phase, mindfulness-based stress reduction treatment significantly (p<0/001) increased self-efficacy and significantly (p<0/001) reduced perceived stress, negative mood, and pain perception in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: Mindfulness-based stress reduction can be effective in increasing self-efficacy and decreasing perceived stress, negative mood, and pain perception in these patients.

Objective: The role of psychological distress has been approved in the clinical course of skin diseases. which. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction program and its combination with Biofeedback on disease perception, mental health, and severity of clinical symptoms in patients with psoriasis. Method: The present research is a quasi-experimental study with an inter-subject design. The statistical population included all patients with psoriasis referred to the Dermatology Research Center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. From this population, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 45 patients were selected by purposive sampling method and replaced randomly in three groups of 15 people (two experimental groups and one control group). The first experimental group received 8 sessions of Biofeedback and 8 sessions of mindfulness-based stress reduction. The second experimental group received only mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention and the control group did not receive any intervention. The research instruments included Broadbent et al.'s (2006) Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, Goldberg (1988) General Health Questionnaire, and Corti (2009) Psoriasis Area Severity Index. Findings: According to the results of SPANOVA analysis, both interventions were found to be effective. However, combining mindfulness-based stress reduction programs with Biofeedback was more effective and more sustainable. Conclusion: These two therapies, especially in combination, can be used as an effective method in psoriasis patients.
