Objective: Cancer is one of the diseases that is the cause of many deaths in the world today, and it is also one of the types of chronic diseases that has attracted the attention of many researchers. Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery Training is a specific intervention to improve the psychological problems of cancer patients, therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery Training on catastrophizing the perceived pain and stress of cancer patients. Method: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all cancer patients who were diagnosed with cancer in 2021 at Shahid Rajaei Center in Babolsar city. The study sample of 30 people was selected through purposive sampling and randomly divided into two groups of 15 people (control group of 15 people and experimental group of 15 people). The experimental group was trained in Carlson and Speka's Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery, which was held in the form of 8 sessions of 90 minutes and held once a week. The pain catastrophizing questionnaire of Sullivan et al. (1995) and the perceived stress scale of Cohen, Kamrak and Mermelstein (1983) were used to collect data. The obtained data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis in SPSS 27 software. Results: Before performing covariance analysis, its assumptions were first tested.Accordingly, by examining the results of the Shapiro-Wilk test, it was found that the sample distribution of the data in the variables of positive perception of stress, negative perception of stress and catastrophizing of pain is normal.To check the homogeneity of variances, Levine's test was used for the variable of pain catastrophizing (p>0.05; F=0.004) and the variable of perceived stress (p>0.05; F=0.074). The results showed that the assumption of equality of variances of two groups is maintained at the community level.In this regard, the box test also confirmed the assumption of homogeneity of variance and covariance of the two groups (p>0.05; F=1.136). The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that after controlling for pre-test effects, there was a significant difference between the average scores of the two experimental and control groups in the variables of pain catastrophizing and perceived stress (p<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, it is concluded that the healing of cancer based on mindfulness is a desirable and suitable intervention to influence the catastrophizing of pain and perceived stress of cancer patients.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of pain catastrophizing and neuroticism in the prediction of fear of movement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: This study was a correlational study. From patients with rheumatoid arthritisexperiencing chronic pain who referred to Gilan health centers, 100 patients were selected through convenience sampling method. Instruments used in this study included the Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK), the Pain catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and the NEO five-factor inventory-short form (NEO-FFI). Findings: The results showed that pain catastrophizing and neuroticism significantly predicted fear of movement. The standardized regression coefficient for pain catastrophizing was 43.33 and for neuroticism was 0.278. Conclusion: neuroticism and pain catastrophizing can affect the quality of life by increasing the patient's fear of movement and avoiding activity, and increase chronic pain problems. Therefore, these factors need to be considered in the management and treatment of these patients

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness training based on acceptance, commitment and compassion on pain catastrophizing, distress tolerance and post-traumatic growth in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome. Method: This study was done by semi-experimental approach with two groups and three stages (pre-test, posttest & follow up). 30 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome were selected through available sampling and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. Intervention was administered to the experimental group for 10 sessions. The research tools were included of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale of Sullivan et al (1995), Simons & Gaher Distress Tolerance Questionnaire (2005), and Post Traumatic Growth Questionnaire of Tedeschi & Calhoun (1996). Findings: The results showed that training based on acceptance, commitment and compassionhas significant effects on pain catastrophizing, distress tolerance and post-traumatic growth in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (p < 0.001). These effects have remained in the 45 days follow-up period. Conclusion: According to the results, training based on acceptance, commitment and compassionhave implications for improving the psychological state of patients with fibromyalgia that can be used to improve the quality of life of these patients.
