This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on self-care and compassion fatigue in mothers of children with cancer. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest, post-test, control group, and 45-day follow-up design. The sample size in the study was 25 mothers of children with cancer who were selected from those referred to Omid Educational Therapeutic Center in Isfahan 2018 through a convenient sampling method and were randomly replaced into experimental and control groups (12 mothers in the experimental and 13 mothers in the control group). The experimental group received eight ninety-minute compassion-therapy intervention sessions over 75 days once a week, while the control group didn't receive any intervention during the study. The instruments research included a self-care questionnaire (Galina et al., 2015) and a professional life quality questionnaire (Stam, 2005). Findings: The results of ANCOVA showed that compassion-focused therapy influenced self-care and compassion fatigue in the mothers of children with cancer in post-test and follow-up significantly (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the present research findings, compassion-focused therapy is suggested to be an effective method to improve self-care and reduce compassion fatigue in mothers of children with cancer

Objective: Living with diabetes limitations is associated with special psychological distress. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the effectiveness of stress management method based on cognitive behavioral approach and self-care training and the combination of both on quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes. Method: The present study is a randomized four-group double-blind clinical trial with mixed between-and within-subjects design. The research sample included 60 people with type 2 diabetes selected purposefully among the members of the Kerman Diabetes Association by considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the study. The participants, after matching in terms of age and gender, were randomly replaced in 4 groups of 15 people and the experimental groups received the relevant interventions in 8 sessions and the control group did not receive any intervention. Pre-test, post-test and 2-month follow-up of the members of all 4 groups were performed by 36-item quality of life questionnaire. Findings: According to the results of the SPANOVA analysis, the mean scores of quality of life (physical and mental health) in the post-test and follow-up phases were increased compared to the pre-test phase and the occurred increase remained stable until the follow-up phase. Conclusion: although medical training and self-care and psychological interventions are solely necessary and useful for people with diabetes, the combination of medical and psychological interventions are necessary to improve the quality of life and stability of the obtained results.

Objective: Self-care is very important in controlling type 2 diabetes and the present study aimed to develop and validate a type 2 diabetes self-care questionnaire. Method: The present study was a series of consecutive exploratory experiments guided by the approach of testing and classification and was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively in two stages. The statistical population in the first stage consisted of specialists, physicians and researchers in the field of type 2 diabetes in 2020-2021 that 10 persons were selected by purposive sampling. In the second stage, 432 patients with type 2 diabetes in Tehran in 2020-2021 were selected by available sampling method and considering criteria. In order to collect the information of the first stage, an in-depth and semi-structured interview and a researcher-made initial questionnaire were used. Findings: It showed that from the results of the interviews, 41 concepts were extracted by open coding in 4 main dimensions. Content validity ratio index and content validity index were calculated and 4 factors were identified in the exploratory factor analysis. Finally, this 34-item questionnaire explained 58.76% of the variance of type 2 diabetes self-care in patients aged 30 to 60 years: factors related to health literacy (39.64%), psychological factors (11.82%), physical factors (4.19%) And factors related to access to facilities (3.11%). Also, the first-order confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the above 4 factors and a total alpha of 0.95 was obtained. Conclusion: This questionnaire has good validity and reliability and its use is recommended for self-care monitoring of these patients and use in research.

Objective: Appropriate self-care is the base of treatment in hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological factors (personality traits, anxiety, depression and stress) and the self- care of hemodialysis patient. Method: In a cross-sectional study 125 patients under chronic hemodialysis admitted to Al-Zahra and Noor hospitals of Isfahan city in 2012 were enrolled to the study with regard to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data collection tools were including three questionnaires (the five-factor personality inventory (Neo Big-5), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and Hemodialysis Self-care checklist that after the choice of samples were given to complete. the data was analyzed by multivariate regression model. Findings: Depression and conscientiousness are significantly correlated with self-care in hemodialysis patients. There is an inverse correlation between self-care and depression and a direct correlation between conscientiousness with self-care. Conclusion: It seems that pay attention to psychological factors are required in practice with hemodialysis patients.

Introduction: Identifying factors associated with psychological well-being of the elderly, is one of the topics of interest to aging psychology. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of lifestyle, psychological capital and self-care behaviors in predicting mental well-being in elderly peoples with type 2 diabetes. Method: This research is descriptive and correlational. In this study, 350 in Kermanshah were selected from various parts of the city using randomized sampling and clustering method to participate in the study. To collect information, the Basic Adlerian Scales for Interpersonal Success-Adult Form Kern and etal (1933), psychological capital Mac Gee (2011), Summary Of Diabetes Self – Care Activities (SDSCA) Tobert and etal (2000) and Adult Subjective well-being questionnaire Keyes & Magyar-Moe (2003) were used. The collected information was analyzed using software Spss21 and statistical tests such as Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multivariate regression. Results: The bivariate relationship of life style with any component of social (r=0.412), emotional (r=0.427) psychological well-being (r=0.461), and mental well-being (r=0.403), is positive and significant (P ≤ 0.001) the relationship between psychological capital and mental well-being (r=0.410) is significant and positive (P ≤ 0.001), there is also a significant and positive relationship between self-care (r=0.497), and mental well-being (P ≤ 0.001). The results of multivariate regression showed that 78 percent of the variance in mental well-being of the elderly people is explained by social interest-belonging, responsibility, gentleness, self-efficacy, toleration, optimism, hope and self-care. Conclusion: The results of this study have important implications about the importance of lifestyle, psychological capital and self-care behaviors in maintaining emotional, social and psychological well-being of elderly people.
