Journal Article 2020 02 26 Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent neurologic disabling disease in young ages accompanied by psychological side effects. Recently prevalence of MS has been rising in Iran. The aim of the present study was to explanation of psychological problems and coping behaviors among women with multiple sclerosis. Method: This was a qualitative study. In all 15 women with MS participated in study. Patients were selected in a convenience sampling method. Semi-structured interview was used for data collection. The data were collected until saturation achieved. After coding, the data was analyzed through conventional content analysis. Findings: In general, five themes emerged from analysis as psychological problems. These were poor life skills, inadequate (avoidant) coping strategies, depression and emotional- cognitive distortions, relationship problems and fear of solitude including emotional dysregulation, marital, family and social relationships, cultural beliefs and MS stigmatization.

Journal Article 2019 09 07 Objective: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has The most burden of deseas among physical illnesses. CHD is one of the chronic illnesses that the physiological and psychological factors have interactions in development and maintanence of it. So modifying and eliminating of it risk factors is essential in the treatment of CHD. Hence, The objective of this study was comparing the effectiveness of two types of training including autogenic relaxation with positive self-talk and emotional regulation on affective control among patients with cardiovascular disease. Method: This study was an semi-experimental study and pretest-posttest-follow up design with control group and using convenient sampling method,45 female volunteers with CHD disease were selected and randomly assigned into three groups. The experimental groups were instructed the protocols of each intervention. All the subjects filled out the affective control scale prior to, after, and 1/5 months later thanthe end of each intervention. Data analysis were analised by applying repeated measures analysis of variances and Tukey's follow-up test methods. Findings: Findings revealed that both interventions could significantly modify the affective control (P<0.05), but these two groups didn`t have significant fifferencer (P>0.05). Conclusion: Enhancement of the affective controlcan be achieved through the both training by instructing their special techniques. So, The practitioners could apply these interventions in combination to medical treatments for controlling the CHD symptoms.

Purpose- The current study aimed to compare the meaning of life and attitude towards death between caregivers of cancer patients and general people. Method: It is a causal-comparative research study. Through visiting the Firoozgar Hospital and Roshana Cancer Center, a total of 52 individuals who had and cared for one first-degree relative affected with cancer for the past year were selected as the convenience sample. However, another group with no experience of caring cancer patient was selected as the convenience sample and matched with the first group. Both were asked to complete the Meaningful in Life Questionnaires (MLQ; Steger, Frazier, Oishi & Kaler, 2006) and the Death Attitude Profile (DAP) - Revised (Wang, Racker & Gasser, 1994). Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance. Findings: Data analysis showed that those experiencing care, anxiety, and avoidance of death reported higher scores in death attitudes death compared to general people, although there were no significant differences in meaning in life. Conclusion: Cancer patient caregivers face uncertain future and worsening conditions for patients; which develop anxiety, and avoidance of death.

Journal Article 2020 01 06 Objective: Heart disease affects not only the patient but also his family. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between family environment, marital commitment, spousal support and self-care behavior among heart failure diseases. Method: This study was a correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study was heart failure patients referring to health centers in Kerman city in 1397. A total of 200 patients were selected by available sampling. The data gatherd using self-care behaviors questionnaire (jaarsma & et al, 2003), marital commitment questionnaire (Stanley & Markman 1992), Family environment questionnaire (Moos & Moos, 1986), andspouse support Questionnaire (Sallis & et al, 1987) and analyzed by Pearson's correlation, regression analysis and structural modeling modeling. Findings: The finding showed that the family environment and the spousal support could significantly predict self-care behaviors in patients (p<0.05) but the predicting role of marital commitment was not significant (p>.05). Findings of structural equation modeling showed that family environment influenced patients self-care behaviors by increasing their spousal support. Conclusion: the results showed that spousal support has a significant mediating role in the relationship between family environment and self-care behaviors of cardiac patients and marital commitment has not a significant role in model predicting self-care behaviors.
