Objective: In the context of the widespread prevalence of coronavirus, self-care behaviors play an important role in individual and public health, so it is important to identify its antecedents. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the role of self-compassion, emotion regulation, and corona anxiety in predicting self-care behaviors of family members with Covid-19. Method: In the present cross-sectional study, a correlation design was used. The study population was family members of patients with Covid-19, and 235 people were selected by convenient methods. A self-report of 10 questions of self-care behaviors, Corona anxiety scale, emotion regulation scale, and self-compassion scale was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression tests. Findings: The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between self-kindness (the first component of self-compassion) and psychological symptoms of corona anxiety with self-care behaviors, and there is a significant negative relationship between suppression emotion regulation strategy and self-care behaviors. But the two components of self-compassion, including common humanity, mindfulness, reappraisal emotion regulation strategy, and physical symptoms of corona anxiety don't have significantly associated with self-care behaviors. Also, self-kindness, psychological symptoms of corona anxiety, and emotion suppression strategy were predicting corona self-care behaviors. Conclusion: Therefore, in explaining the corona-virus-related self-care behaviors, paying attention to self-kindness, the psychological symptoms of coronary anxiety, and the emotion suppression strategy will help.

Objective: The present research was conducted by the aim of comparing the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on self-compassion and quality of life among women with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Method: The present research was semi-experimental in which a pretest-posttest and follow-up with control group design was used. The research population included all the female patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus referring to the Rheumatology clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital and Tooba clinic of Sari city, Iran, in the first half of 2019. The study sample included 60 patients who were selected by available sampling method and, then, were assigned into two experiment groups and one control group through random assignment method. All the three groups were assessed by using the Neff’s Self-Compassion Scale (2003) and the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Questionnaire (1998) in pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. The first and the second experiment groups respectively received the ACT and CFT interventions in eight 120-minute session in groups. Findings: Results indicated that the ACT and CFT methods have been effective on improving self-compassion and quality of life in the posttest and follow-up stages (p < 0.01). Findings affirmed that the effectiveness of CFT on improving self-compassion was greater. No significant difference was observed between the both interventions on the quality of life variable (p<0.01). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, psychologists and health practitioners are recommended to use these two therapeutic models for reducing the psychological problems of patients with SLE.
