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.

Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of unified trans-diagnostic treatment on the emotional expression and sexual function of the infertile women. Method: It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest and control group design. Two-month follow-up period was administered too. The statistical population included infertile women who referred to Infertility Clinic at Mother and Child Hospital and Samar Infertility Clinic in the city of Shiraz in the winter of 2021. Thirty six infertile women were selected through voluntary sampling method and randomly accommodated into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received ten sessions of unified trans-diagnostic treatment during two-and-a-half-months. The applied questionnaires in this study included Emotional Expression Questionnaire (EEQ) (King, Emmons, 1990) and Sexual Function Questionnaire (Keraskian, Mojembari and Kaiballah, 2014). The collected data were analyzed through mixed ANOVA via SPSS23 software. Findings: The results showed that unified trans-diagnostic treatment has significant effect on the emotional expression (F=39.82; Eta=0.54; P<0001) and sexual function (F=31.88; Eta=0.49; P<0001) in the infertile women. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that unified trans-diagnostic treatment can be used as an efficient therapy to improve emotional expression and sexual function in the infertile women through employing techniques such as identifying emotions, emotional awareness, cognitive reassessment, and identifying patterns of emotion avoidance.

Objective: Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that emotional problems can interfere with its treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (RCBT) and resilience training in expressing emotion in patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and control group. Among type 2 diabetic patients referred to comprehensive health care centers by purposive sampling, 45 people were selected as the final sample and then randomly selected in simple Three groups of 15 people including two experimental groups and one control group were assigned. One experimental group received 10 sessions of 60 minutes of RCBT and the other group received 9 sessions of 60 minutes of resilience training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and benferroni test. Findings: The results showed that there was a difference between the experimental groups and the control group in the post-test of expression of emotion with the control of the pre-test at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Also, there is no difference between religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training is effective in increasing the expression of emotion in diabetic patients and can be useful as an adjunctive therapy for diabetic patients.
