Background: Patients undergoing dialysis face numerous physical and psychological challenges that can affect their life expectancy. Among these, psychotherapeutic interventions such as COGNITIVE-behavioral GROUP THERAPY and MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY have been recognized as effective methods for improving mental health. However, the comparison of the effectiveness of these two methods in increasing life expectancy in dialysis patients has been less explored. Aims: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of COGNITIVE-behavioral GROUP THERAPY and MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY on the life expectancy of dialysis patients. Methods: The research method was quasi-experimental, of the pre-test-post-test type with a control GROUP and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population of this study included all dialysis patients referred to the dialysis center of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Shahrud city in the year 1402 (2023), totaling 211 individuals. From the statistical population, 45 individuals were selected through purposive sampling. The research tool included the Life Expectancy Questionnaire (Snyder, 1991). The COGNITIVE-behavioral THERAPY protocol (Valsaraj et al., 2021) and MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY (Segal et al., 2023) were implemented for the experimental GROUPs. Data were analyzed using mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) in SPSS version 25. Results: The findings showed that both COGNITIVE-behavioral THERAPY and MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY had a significant effect on the life expectancy of dialysis patients in the post-test (P< 0.001). There were differences in life expectancy scores across the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, regardless of the type of intervention. Among the two intervention methods, COGNITIVE-behavioral THERAPY was more effective in increasing the life expectancy of dialysis patients (P< 0.001). Conclusion: The results indicate that the use of psychotherapeutic interventions, especially COGNITIVE-behavioral THERAPY, can be considered as a practical strategy for improving life expectancy and enhancing the mental health of dialysis patients

Introduction: The aim of comparing the effectiveness of COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY GROUP and COGNITIVE THERAPY BASED on MINDFULNESS on self-compassion in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control GROUP with follow-up. The statistical population of this research included all hemodialysis patients referred to the dialysis center of Khatam Al-Anbia Hospital in Shahrood city in 1402, numbering 211 people. The research sample included 45 people and the purposive sampling method was used. Research tools include,The questionnaire was the self-compassion questionnaire of Neaf (2003), as well as the therapeutic protocol of COGNITIVE-behavioral THERAPY (Valsaraj et al., 2021) and COGNITIVE THERAPY BASED on MINDFULNESS (Segal et al., 2013) was used. The data was analyzed using the statistical test of mixed analysis of variance. Results: The findings showed that the two intervention methods of COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY and COGNITIVE THERAPY BASED on MINDFULNESS had a significant effect on improving self-compassion in hemodialysis patients in the post-test. There was a difference between the scores of the self-compassion in the three stages of pre-test, post-test and follow-up regardless of the type of intervention. Among the two intervention methods of COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY and COGNITIVE THERAPY BASED on MINDFULNESS, COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY was more effective in increasing self-compassion in hemodialysis patients (P<0. 001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that with both methods of COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY and COGNITIVE THERAPY BASED on MINDFULNESS, especially COGNITIVE behavioral THERAPY which was more effective, the recovery in hemodialysis patients can be accelerated.

Background & Objectives: Obesity is a metabolic disorder, characterized by increased body fat, as an essential risk factor for different diseases. A critical problem in obese individuals is overweight. Obesity is associated with less vitality, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, fatigue, and mood swings. Besides, obesity generally adversely impacts health and quality of life in individuals. Another issue encountered by individuals with obesity is low self–, esteem. Defects in body image are also among the most common psychological problems in overweight subjects. A treatment method that can improve psychological symptoms in individuals with obesity that has received less attention from researchers, especially in Iran, is GROUP MINDFULNESS–, BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY (GMBCT). Thus, the present study aimed to determine the effects of GMBCT on weight, body image, and self–, esteem among obese individuals. Methods: This was a quasi–, experimental study with pretest–, posttest–, follow–, up and a control GROUP design. The statistical population of this study included all obese individuals referring to the Mehr Psychological Counseling and Psychology Center in Tehran City, Iran, in 2019. Of them, 32 subjects were selected by the convenience sampling method. Then, they were randomly divided into the GROUPs of GMBCT and control (n=16/GROUP). The sample size was estimated as 32 subjects BASED on previous studies and considering a maximum standard deviation of 10, α, =0. 05, and a test power of 95%. The inclusion criteria of the study were presenting obesity BASED on a physician's diagnosis,the age range of 30–, 50 years, an educational level of diploma to MA,no chronic illnesses and mental health disorders BASED on psychologists’,approval as well as the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ–, 28,Goldberg & Hillier, 1979). Absence from >2 treatment sessions and the occurrence of major stress due to unforeseen events, such as the death of a first–, degree relative or divorce were also considered as the exclusion criteria of the study. The required data were collected using the Body Mass Index (BMI), the Cooper Smith Self–, Esteem Inventory (Cooper Smith, 1976), and the Body Image Questionnaire (Cash & Lavallee, 1997). The MINDFULNESS–, BASED psychoTHERAPY protocol was performed in eight 90–, minute sessions (two sessions/week) BASED on Kabat–, Zinn’, s training package (2019). In the descriptive statistics section, mean and standard deviation were calculated. In the inferential statistics section, repeated–, measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni posthoc test were applied. Additionally, the research GROUPs were compared concerning gender by Chi–, squared test as well as age and BMI using Independent Samples t–,test. The analyses were performed in SPSS at the significance level of 0. 05. Results: The present research findings suggested that GMBCT improved BMI (weight) (GROUP effect: p<0. 001, time effect: p<0. 001, time*GROUP effect: p<0. 001), body image (GROUP effect: p<0. 001, time effect: p<0. 001, time*GROUP effect: p<0. 001), and self–, esteem (GROUP effect: p<0. 001, time effect: p<0. 001, time*GROUP effect: p<0. 001),these values were tested and followed up in the experimental GROUP. The collected results also signified the effectiveness of GMBCT remained consistent until the follow–, up phase for weight (p=0. 69), body image (p=0. 72), and self–,esteem (p=0. 81). Conclusion: BASED on the current research findings, GMBCT was effective on weight, body image, and self–, esteem in obese individuals.

Background: It is necessary to perform psychological interventions for cancer patients with regard to the effect of disease on their different dimensions of biological, psychological, and social conditions. The goal of this research was to assess the effectiveness of MINDFULNESS BASED GROUP COGNITIVE THERAPY on the assertiveness of women with breast cancer.Materials and methods: In the frame of a pre- post- test experimental design among patients with breast cancer who referred to Mehraneh charity of Zanjan city, 24 patients were selected using convenience sampling method and randomly were assigned to experimental and control GROUPs. The experimental GROUP was learned by the fundamentals of the MINDFULNESS-BASED GROUP COGNITIVE THERAPY for eight sessions of two hours (once per week). Members of both GROUPs were assessed by Schering' assertiveness scale in pre-test and post-test parts of the study. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA method.Results: The results showed that in the post-test, the average score of the total assertiveness in the experimental GROUP (90.80) was more than control GROUP (62.00) and F-value was significant at the level of p<0.001.Conclusion: BASED on the findings of this study, MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY can be used in reduction of dysfunctional beliefs among cancer patients in addition to medical treatments in oncology ward.
