Introduction: The present study aimed to the effectiveness of stress management and relaxation training on change attitude on nutrition in adolescents with eating disorder. Methods: Twenty subjects of high school girls were selected using random sampling method and assigned into experimental and control groups. With a pre-test and post –test control group design, the subjects in the intervention group underwent 9 sessions of stress management and relaxation training, but the control group did not. Both groups were evaluated suing Eat-26, and data were analyzed by analysis of covariance. Results: Findings showed that there was no statistically significant deference between the two groups in pretest phase, but stress management and relaxation training, significantly decreased attitude of eating disorders in adolescent in the experimental group.

Abstract:Of cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death in human societies leads to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) as the most common intervention. The length of hospital stay after surgery is an estimate of the success rate of surgery that cannot be completely explained by demographic and medical factors. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of psychological factors along with medical and demographic factors on the length of hospital stay after CABG surgery. In this study, 150 patients (30 females and 120 males) were selected from the convenience sampling method, among patients referred to Tehran Heart Center of Shahid Rajaie Hospital who were candidates for CABG surgery. Patients were asked to complete the questionnaire of 21 questions for anxiety- depression- stress (DASS-21). Stepwise regression analysis for psychological, medical and demographic variables showed that the most important variables to predict the length of hospital stay after surgery were anxiety and depression, diabetes and high blood pressure, age and gender. Thus, the results showed that the use of pre-operative assessment of these variables in the clinical setting, we can identify those patients for whom surgery may not be successful.

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.

Introduction: The purpose of the present research was to compare body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety between obese and normal weight adolescents by examining the moderating role of sociocultural influence on weight loss and body change. Method: In this cross-sectional-descriptive study, 70 obese adolescent girls and 72 adolescent girls with normal weight were selected from among Tabriz City high school students and were matched according to education, gender, and age. Results: The results of two-factor ANOVA showed significant difference between obese adolescents and normal weight adolescents with regard to body image and Social Physique Anxiety. Also the results showed that a high Sociocultural influence on Weight loss and body change have significant role in the rise of the Social Physique Anxiety. However, it did not have any significant moderating role in the social physique anxiety or the body image problems. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, we can conclude that obesity and high sociocultural influence on Weight Loss and body change are important factors in rising body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety. But sociocultural influence does not modify the role of obesity on the increase or decrease of body image problems and social anxiety.

Introduction: The aim of the current study was to prediction of resilience from cognitive emotion regulation in individuals with HIV infection. Methods: To accomplish the stated goal 130 were selected by means of accessible sampling procedure from the counseling center of behavioral illness of Imam Khomeini Hospital. The Resiliency Scale and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were administered on them. Results: Analysis of data using a multiple regression analysis revealed that the magnitude of resilience can be predicted from the quality of cognitive emotion regulation in individuals with HIV infection. Moreover, data revealed that individuals that had adjustment cognitive emotion regulation were higher in resilience(R2= 0/46).Conclusion: This study showed that the adjustment cognitive emotion regulation is significant predictor of resiliency in individuals living with HIV. Therefore, identifying and modifying maladjustment cognitive emotion regulation through psychological intervention can be helpful in increasing resilience of individuals living with HIV.Keywords: Cognitive Emotion Regulation, Resilience, HIV Infection.

Objective: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in Iran and the world. It is chronic, progressive and expensive and creates many complications. This study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief in the prediction of quality of life in diabetic patients. Methods: The study was based on a descriptive correlational method. Statistical population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes in Ardabil city in 2015. 124 diabetic patients were selected as the statistical sample using the convenience sampling. Data were collected through Dugas and Sextons cognitive avoidance scale (2008), Wells metacognitive belief scale (2004) and the world health organization quality of Life Scale (1996). Research data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief with quality of life in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). Beta coefficients for predictor variables indicated that thoughts repression -0.16, thoughts succession -0.20, avoidance of threatening stimuli -0.22, changing image to thought -0.24 and metacognitive belief -0.12 have significantly predictive capability of Quality of Life in Diabetic Patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Thus, it can be concluded that cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief are considered the predicting variables related to quality of life in diabetic patients.
