Objective: Chronic musculoskeletal pain includes local pain and referred pain that causes pain in the joints of different parts of the body. Chronic pain has negative and detrimental effects on the psychological and physical performance of patients and causes physical and mental problems for patients. Inactivity, excessive mental stress, excessive mental stress, and prolonged poor posture can all cause muscle strain that directly affects nerve endings, causing chronic pain. Although pain as a general sensation has biological bases, but because pain is affected by psychological and social factors in addition to biochemical factors. Recent models have examined pain in a multidimensional way and have emphasized the role of psychological factors in the process of pain perception. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy and mindfulness therapy in improving self-efficacy, conflict in emotional expression, and pain perception in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Method: The research method in the present study was semi-experimental and a pre-test and post-test design was used along with the control group. The statistical population of the present study includes all patients suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain in Tehran in 2022. Using the available sampling method, 60 people were randomly selected into 3 groups of 20 people: emotion-oriented treatment, mindfulness treatment and control were divided. Pain self-efficacy, emotional conflict and disease perception questionnaires were used to collect data. Analysis of covariance test and SPSS statistical software were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that emotion-oriented and mindfulness therapy has a significant effect on improving self-efficacy, emotion expression conflict, and pain perception, and these results were still stable in the 3-month follow-up (p<0.05). Comparing the effect of the two intervention methods, the results of the Sheffeh test showed that the effect of emotion-oriented treatment on the conflict of emotion expression and pain perception was significantly higher than that of mindfulness treatment (p<0.05). The results of the Scheffe test show that there is no statistically significant difference between the two experimental groups and the control group in the pain self-efficacy scores (p<0.05), and in other words, the effect of the two methods was almost the same; However, the effect of the treatment on the emotional expression variable had a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). So, it can be said that the emotion-oriented treatment had a greater effect than the mindfulness treatment. Also, the results of the Shefeh test showed that the effect of emotion-oriented treatment on patients' pain perception had a statistically significant difference (p<0.05), in other words, the effect of emotion-oriented treatment on the pain perception variable was greater than that of mindfulness treatment. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded to help improve self-efficacy, emotional expression conflict and pain perception of patients with chronic pain, emotion-oriented and pain mindfulness treatment is effective and it is recommended due to the higher effect of emotion-oriented treatment intervention in improving conflict expression Emotion and pain perception of chronic pain patients should use this intervention method.

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: positive psychology is a scientific approach with a focus on strengths instead of weaknesses, building the good in life instead of repairing the bad. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy. Orientation on sense of coherence, self-efficacy, psychological well-being and resilience was performed in nurses. Method: This study was an experimental study with pre-test-post-test design with control and follow-up group. 30 Nurses were selected through convenient sampling. Subsequently, the participants were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. The experimental group received positive psychology training whereas the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups were evaluated before and after the intervention and in the follow-up stage through Antonsky Coherence Questionnaire, Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, Reef Psychological Welfare Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale.The Data were analyzed using repeated measure (ANOVA). Findings: The results of analysis showed that positive psychology training led to a significant increase in resilience, psychological well-being and sense of coherence in nurses. The results of follow-up test also showed that this method has enough stability and sustainability. However, no significant difference was observed between the intervention and control groups regarding self-efficacy. Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, positive psychology interventions can be used to promote sense of coherence, psychological well-being and resilience in nurses.

Objective: The present study aims to compare irrational beliefs, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being in healthy individuals and patients with migraine headaches. This study is a cross-sectional-comparative post event. Method: The statistical universe of this research includes all men and women suffering from migraine headaches, and all healthy men and women in Ardabil in 1390 (A.H). The subjects were 30 patients suffering from migraine headaches referred to psychological, neurological, and brain clinics selected by convenience sampling method, as well as 30 healthy people selected by cloning method (based on age, education level, and social-economic status). To collect data, the questionnaires of irrational beliefs, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being were used. Result: The results of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and correlational coefficient showed that there was a significant difference between the two groups "Migraine sufferers and Healthy people" in terms of three variables of "self-efficacy, irrational beliefs, and psychological well-being" in the level of P≥0.01. Conclusion: The results showed that most psychological problems had their roots in irrational thoughts and beliefs about self, others and the world around. In other words, irrational beliefs in migraine patients cause stress and anxiety in their life, and much more difficulties in matters concerning life.
