Journal Article 2015 08 29 Introduction: The purpose of present study was investigating cognitive model of anxiety according to Dugas’s model about anxiety cognitive components in cancer patients. In this model cognitive variables such as intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, cognitive avoidance, negative problem orientation and their direct and indirect effects on worry and anxiety as structural and measurement were investigated. Method: Three hundred of cancer patients was selected from a hospital and chemotherapy clinic in Isfahan city. They were evaluated with intolerance of uncertainty scale, metacognitive questionnaire (positive beliefs about worry subscale), cognitive avoidance scale, negative problem orientation questionnaire, Pen State worry questionnaire and state- trait anxiety inventory. Data of research examined through structural equation modeling. Results: The results show that this model had good fit for cancer patients and relations between mediator variables, Endo and Exo variables are significant. Conclusion: significant variance of worry and anxiety are explained by this model in cancer patients.
