Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral group therapy on stigma and death anxiety in epileptic patients in Bukan. Method: The quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest or control group. The statistical population included all patients with epilepsy referred to medical centers in Buchan in 1399. Accordingly, 60 people (22 men and 38 women) were divided into two groups of 30 people, including the experimental group and the control group, by random assignment. The experimental group was evaluated as a clinical trial in 8 sessions of 90 minutes twice a week using the Templer Death Anxiety Questionnaire (1970) and the modified Ritcher Disease Stigma Scale (2003) to collect data. Multivariate covariance was used to analyze the data. Findings: Results of multivariate analysis of covariance, effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on death anxiety (P=0.05) and stigma (P=0.01) and its components including loneliness (P=0.01), confirmation of stereotypes (P= 0.01) Experience of social discrimination (P= 0.05) and Withdrawal from the community(P=0.05). Therefore, the use of cognitive therapy has a significant effect on death anxiety and stigma and its components such as loneliness, confirmation of stereotypes, experience of social discrimination, withdrawal from the community of subjects in the experimental group. Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioral group therapy reduces death anxiety and stigma and its components such as loneliness, confirmation of stereotypes, experience of social discrimination, withdrawal from society.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-compassion with depression in women with breast cancer with mediator death anxiety. Method: This research was a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included all women with breast cancer referring to hospitals and medical center of Mahdieh, Imam Khomeini Hospital, Firoozgar Hospital and Pars Hospital in 1396. The sample size was 397 people who were selected and responded to Beck Depression Inventory (2001), God Attachment Questionnaire to Rowat and Kirkpatrick (2002) and Templer's Death Anxiety Questionnaire (1979). The data of this study analyzed by structural equation method and using smart PLS software. Result: The results showed that the full inflows in the present model are confirmed at a significant level (p> 0/01). These results suggest that both direct paths and indirect paths have a significant effect on depression, but the paths that are more valid to the path of anxiety of death -> depression than other paths. Conclusion: In the formation of depression in women with breast cancer, mental and spiritual factors such as self-compassion and death anxiety are involved.Their findings implied the strong relation among spirituality values and psychological constructs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of emotional regulation intervention on the survival and anxiety of women with breast cancer. Method: The research design is a pre-test, post-test, and experimental group. The statistical population of the study consisted of women with breast cancer who referred to Shahid Afzali Hospital in spring of 2012. The experimental group consisted of 30 patients who were randomly divided into two groups of 15 subjects. The experimental group received 8 sessions of emotional regulation intervention and the control group did not receive intervention during this period. The research tools were the convergent vibrational scale and death anxiety. Data were analyzed using statistical methods such as mean, standard deviation and multivariate covariance analysis. Result: The results showed that emotional adjustment sessions had an important effect on increasing the survival and decreasing the anxiety of women with breast cancer (p Conclusion: Emotions are socially useful and They can be effective in conveying feelings to others and building social interaction, and they can play an effective role in reducing the anxiety of women with cancer.

Objective: Various studies indicated that the death anxiety is more common in refractory disease (like, cancer); and it effects on many aspects of patients life such as their quality of life and promoting health behavior as well as physical and psychological problems. Thus, identifying effective psychological factors on death anxiety in cancer patients could us help to substantial contribute in understanding and managing this kind of existential anxiety. Methods: In order to comparing and examining the relationship between death anxiety and attachment styles, 210 people, including 70 members of three groups of cancer patients under chemotherapy, hospital staff, and ordinary people who were matched the demographic variables were recruited and completed Templer Death Anxiety scale and Attachment Styles questionnaire. For analyzing Data series of variance analyses and Pearson correlation coefficients was used. Results: Results showed that death anxiety was positively and significantly linked with insecure attachment styles and was negatively and significantly correlated with secure attachment style in cancer group. Comparison of attachment styles among groups showed that there were significantly differences between the styles of relationship as secondary, preoccupation with relationship, and need for approval. So that, cancer patients had higher scores in insecure attachment styles (relationship as secondary and preoccupation with relationship) than hospital staff. Furthermore, there was significantly difference in the style of need for approval between hospital staff and cancer patients, also hospital staff and ordinary people. Hospital staff had less mean score than cancer patients group and ordinary people. Conclusion: Since the results demonstrated that death anxiety is more common in cancer patients, and according to the relationship between death anxiety and attachment styles especially in the cancer group it can be said that we can use the issue for managing death anxiety of cancer patients.
