Introduction: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry about various aspects of life. One cognitive mechanism associated with GAD is worry, which serves as an attempt to manage emotional responses. However, individuals with GAD often struggle with emotional regulation, leading to significant emotional dysregulation. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) based on intolerance of uncertainty (IU), combined with an attentional bias modification (ABM) program, in reducing worry and difficulties in emotion regulation among women with GAD. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test/post-test/follow-up design with a control group. The study population consisted of women with GAD in Isfahan, Iran in 2024. Using convenience sampling, 30 participants were selected and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). Data were collected using the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). Results: The combination of CBT based on IU and the ABM program led to a significant reduction in worry and emotion regulation difficulties in the experimental group, both immediately after the intervention and at the two-month follow-up. Conclusion: These findings suggest that integrating an attentional bias modification program into CBT based on intolerance of uncertainty can effectively reduce worry and improve emotional regulation in subjects with GAD.

Background: Psychological Distress is a type of mental stress that people experiencedue to various causes. This study aims to investigate Psychological Distress in cancerpatients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed during one year on cancerpatients who referred to two academic hospitals affiliated with Mashhad University ofMedical Sciences for treatment or follow-up. We used the Psychological Distressquestionnaire for data collection. Results were analyzed using SPSS version 16. P<0. 05 was considered significant. Results: Patients had a mean ± SD age of 54± 15. 30 years (range: 18 to 89). The mostcommon cancers were colorectal, gastroesophageal, and breast. Patients had a meanDistress thermometer score of 5± 2. 99. Out of 256 patients, 173 (67. 7%) scored 4 or higher. The Distress thermometer scores were higher among females, rural residents, patientstreated within the previous month, patients with insight of their illness, those with loweducation levels and low functional status, non-smokers, and divorced patients. Asignificant relationship existed between patients who had insight of their illness, received treatment in the previous month, and low functional status with the PsychologicalDistress score. The most prevalent cause of Psychological Distress among the participantswas fatigue (68. 8%), followed by pain (59. 4%), difficulty in transportation (59. 4%), anxiety (57. 2%), sadness (50. 4%), anger (44. 5%), and depression (43. 8%). Conclusion: The results of this study have revealed higher rates of severePsychological Distress in women, rural residents, patients with low educational andfunctional status, drug abusers, and divorced patients. Therefore, early detection ofPsychological Distress and appropriate interventions among these groups of patients isof cardinal importance. The most prevalent causes of Psychological Distress among thepatients in the current study are fatigue and pain. We recommend that supportive andpalliative care be implemented to reduce both the pain and enhance the functional statusof cancer patients.

Formation of identity entails the integration of skills, world view and identification which emerges as a relatively cohesive, unique and differentiated whole. An integrated explanatory self which identifies the individual’s thought and behavior and can be regarded as the underlying arena for Psychological Distress. The research purpose was to investigate the relationship between identity styles and Psychological Distress. Therefore, in a descriptive-correlative study, 3245 college students (1703 male students and 1534 female students) were tested with regard to the identity styles and Psychological Distress. The correlation results of the scores indicated that information-oriented style, normative style and identity commitment are significantly negatively correlated to Psychological Distress; however, diffuse avoidant style was significantly, positively correlated to Psychological Distress. It seems that, individuals who adopt diffuse-avoidant style delay decision-making on their identity and gradually these maladaptive and avoidant strategies give rise to Distress.

Nowadays, an estimated 15% of couples are having trouble conceiving. Infertility is not only a reproductive health problem, but also a social problem that affects family and other interpersonal relationships. Infertility involves Psychological problems for both partners. There is a correlation between Psychological factors and infertility. It seems that the main cause of infertility can be Psychological rather than biological factors. Anxiety, depression, stress associated with infertility and antidepressants used in these patient can impact in the treatment of infertility and their outcomes. Persistent fertility problem will have several negative influences on a couple's life and may cause relationship breakdown. Therefore, more research should be conducted on the reasons of infertility as a way to find the factors related to infertility and reduce its impact.
