Objective: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases caused by metabolic disorders with devastating effects. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of self-healing (the healing codes) training on emotional well-being, psychological hardiness, and recovery in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design and a control group. The study population comprised all women with type 2 diabetes who referred to the health centers of Isfahan. Thirty patients were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly divided into experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The research instruments included Keys and Magyar-Mae Emotional Well-Being Questionnaire (2003) and Kiamarsi Psychological Hardiness Questionnaire (1998) which were completed by the participants in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Patients' blood sugar was measured and recorded by a specialist in three stages. The experimental group underwent fourteen sessions (60-minute sessions per week) of self-healing training and the control group was waiting for intervention. The repeated measures ANOVA was used for analyzing the data by using SPSS software (version 24). Findings: Self-healing training effectively increased emotional well-being and psychological hardiness in patients with type 2 diabetes (p< 0.01). In terms of improving social well-being and the disease process, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the pre-test stage. Conclusion: Self-healing can be used as a new approach in positive psychology to increase the emotional well-being and psychological hardiness in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: Cancer affects various aspects of a patient's quality of life, including mental, psychological, social, and economic status. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between mindfulness and resilience with emotional well-being due to the role of emotion regulation in cancer patients. Method: The method of this research is descriptive and the correlational research design is structural equation modeling. The statistical population in this study includes cancer patients in 1399 who were selected by purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 200 (male and female) cancer patients in hospitals in Tehran. To collect data from the Freiburg Sawer et al.'s (2011) Short Form of Mindfulness, Wagnild & Young (2009) Resilience Scale, the Gross and John Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2002), and the emotional Well-Being Scale of Keys & Magyarmo (2003) was used. Bootstrap method was used to analyze the intermediate. Findings: The results showed that mindfulness and resilience have a direct and significant effect on emotional well-being. Also, the direct effect of mindfulness and resilience on emotion regulation was significant. the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between mindfulness and resilience with emotional well-being was not significant.

Objective: This study examined the mediating effect of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Method: In a sample consisting of 409 boy adolescents, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Special Support (MSPSS), the Stress Appraisal Measure-Revised (SAM-R), Adolescent Resilience Scale (ARS), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were administered. Structural equation modeling was used to assess the mediating effects model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support with health behaviors and emotional well-being. Results: Results showed that the complete mediated model of psychological resilience on the relationship between cognitive appraisal processes and perceived social support and health behaviors and emotional well-being had a good fit to data. Furthermore, all of the regression weights in the hypothesized model were statistically significant and the psychological resilience variable accounted for 25%, 12% and 11% of the variance in health behavior, positive affect, and negative affect, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, these findings show that the part of the available variance in health behaviors and subjective well-being in the context of prediction these behavioral and emotional models by cognitive appraisals and perceived social support accounted for adolescents' psychological resilience.
