Abstract
Objective: Cancer is life-threatening and a major challenge to the well-being of those affected.The purpose of this study was to predict psychological well-being based on emotion regulation strategies, cognitive flexibility and mindfulness in cancer patients. Method: The research design was correlational. The statistical population of the study was women with cancer referred to the Cancer Campaign, Institution, and Association in Tehran during the first three months of the year 119 people were selected using available sampling method. Participants responded voluntarily to the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003), Cognitive Flexibility (Dennis & Vanderval, 2010), Mindfulness (Brown & Ryan, 2003), and Psychological Well-being (Reef, 1989). The data were analyzed by SPSS v.21 and Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression. Findings: The results showed that the variables of re-evaluation of emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, and mindfulness were positively and significantly correlated with psychological well-being, and the relationship between the repressive component of emotion regulation with psychological well-being was negative and significant. Conclusion: Psychological well-being has positive effects on the mental health and endurance of cancer patients, as emotion regulation, cognitive flexibility, and mindfulness are associated with psychological well-being, so these factors are needed in treatment and consider patients and plan effective interventions in this area.
