All patients suffering from high blood pressure in the first 6 months of 2023 at Laleh Hospital in Tehran (218 people) formed the statistical population of the study, out of which 45 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned into three equal groups of 15. To collect data, along with the demographic information checklist-form made by the researcher, Sukhodolsky’s Anger Rumination Scale was also used. Intervention was respectively applied for participants in positive therapy and cognitive-analytical therapy sessions according to Seligman et al.'s and Ryle et al.'s protocols during 8 sessions. Data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA

The scores of anger rumination (η=0.63, F=89.48) and anger afterthoughts (η=0.25, F=9.71), thoughts of revenge (η=0.47, F=25.15), anger memories (η=0.32, F=13.55), and understanding of causes (η=0.46, F=24.59) in the test groups in the post-test stage significantly improved compared to the control group and, this improvement remained stable in the follow-up stage (p<0.05). Also, the results of Benferroni's post hoc test showed no significant difference between the two treatment approaches in terms of effectiveness (p>0.05).

Both treatment approaches had a positive effect on reducing anger rumination indices in hypertensive patients. It is suggested to use more exercises derived from these approaches in planning rehabilitation and therapeutic interventions to improve the emotional-behavioral performance of these patients.

Alopecia areata is the reason why 2-3% of skin patients refer to skin and hair centers.

One of the major problems of today's societies is chronic diseases that have created many tensions along with the heavy costs that impose on the economies of countries. Among these chronic diseases is cancer, which, by disrupting human life, overshadows the cultural, family, and social dimensions. Breast cancer is a common malignant disease that affects women in many communities. Diagnosis and treatment of this disease have changes in sexual function, negative self-image, communication problems, and the like, and thus has special effects on the well-being of life and mental health. Human society has always valued the beauty of the human body, but this beauty has not been defined in all cultures and throughout history. Body image is partly the result of personal experiences, personality, and various social and cultural factors, including the definition of beauty. A person's feelings about his or her physical appearance in the eyes of others or the cultural ideals in which he or she lives shape his or her body image. It is important to know that a person's perception of their appearance can be different from others' perception of their appearance or social standards. Body image also has a wide range of psychological and physical effects on the individual. Body image is one of the important categories in the formation of individual identity and the concept of "self". People who have a positive body image accept and love their body as it is, and are more resilient to the pressures that are unrealistically available for girls to be slimmer and boys to be more muscular, resulting in less depression. By having a positive body image, a person accepts his body as it is, and this enables him to focus his mind and energy on the growth and expansion of other aspects of his life. The cognitive-behavioral model is introduced by Beck for the first time. Beck's model explains how emotional problems can arise through patterns of negative thoughts, and also shows that such problems can be addressed by altering thought processes. The cognitive-behavioral model combines the role of human behavior in the development and maintenance of such problems. Corrections such as cognitive and cognitive-behavioral are sometimes used interchangeably in different articles. In general, cognitive therapy has educational, cognitive, and behavioral aspects. The educational aspects include explaining cognitive triangles, schemas, and wrong logic to the patient. The therapist should explain to the patient that they are formulating hypotheses together and testing them during treatment. Cognitive therapy requires a complete description of the relationship between depression and thinking, emotions, and behavior, as well as the philosophy of all aspects of therapy. Behavioral aspects of treatment include the use of relaxation training, regular desensitization, self-control training, self-review, role modeling, behavior modification, assertiveness training, role-playing and reverse role-play, homework, exercise, and more. According to the studies, it seems that both therapeutic approaches have been effective on breast cancer separately, and on the other hand, because no research has shown the effectiveness of these two approaches on the body image level in patients, according to the researcher. Has not been studied in breast cancer, so the research question is how to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and psycho-display on the level of body image in women with breast cancer and which type of treatment is more effective? 

This quasi-experimental study was designed with pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up with a control group that was approved by the code of ethics with the number IR.IAU.Dubai.REC.1399.017 from the Islamic Azad University of Dubai. The researchers also followed the ethical protocols of Helsinki Studies, and the subjects' information remained anonymous, and all of this information will remain secure after the study. The study population was women with breast cancer who were referred to Shohada Tajrish Hospital in Tehran in 2009-2010. The sample of the present study included 45 people (15 people for each group; that is, 15 people in the experimental group 1 and 15 people in the experimental group 2 and 15 people in the control group). In this study, the available sampling method was used; among the patients who were referred to the Cancer Research Center at Shohada Tajrish Hospital and underwent a mastectomy, 45 were selected and again randomly assigned to three groups and 15 experimental (two groups) in each group waiting for treatment. The protocols were psychotherapy (Ghotbi Nejad et al., 2019) and cognitive-behavioral therapy Kharazi et al. (2018) (sixty minutes per session). For data collection, in addition to the demographic information form, including age, the Fisher's body image test was developed by Fisher in 1970 and contains 46 items. A mixed analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. 

The results showed that the two methods of group therapy, psychoactive and cognitive-behavioral, had a significant effect on body image after the test. There was also a difference between body image scores in the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, regardless of group. 

The results showed that among the methods of cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychotherapy, group cognitive-behavioral therapy was more effective in improving the body image of women with breast cancer. Cognitive-behavioral therapy with components affecting the improvement of body image can enable the ability to effectively cope with challenges and stressful situations, which is one of the most important types of coping, meaningful situations. Achieving this capability is the main goal of the cognitive-behavioral approach because the main premise of this approach is to change the cognition of a person's entire behavioral and emotional system. In this approach, the person removes the control of his psychological system from the domination of subconscious factors such as negative automatic thoughts and consciously and actively determines his mood and behavioral system through direct control of his cognitive system. Therefore, during treatment, more adaptive cognitions based on unconditional self-acceptance and self-esteem and in accordance with logical facts and norms replace distorted and excessive images and thoughts about body image, self-esteem, decreased awareness, and fear of negative evaluations and thoughts and cognitions. They will be negative and ultimately improve the body image, and on the other hand, negative cognitive dimensions are a natural part of the mental system of individuals.

</span> Asthma is a psychosomatic disease with different physical and mental dimensions, each of which can aggravate the other. Properly treating this disease requires appropriate medical and psychological measures. Psychologists are interested in the widespread prevalence of psychological disorders, especially anxiety and depression, among patients with asthma. Research shows that people with asthma who report more symptoms of anxiety are more likely to need medical treatment, frequent hospitalizations, and emergencies. These people are more incapable of daily activities and show more behavioral problems. One of the most critical issues among patients is adherence to treatment because non –compliance is always an important and multifaceted problem in the field of health. So, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of stress inoculation and positive psychology on anxiety and adherence to treatment in patients with asthma.</span></span>

</span>The present quasi –experimental study employed a pretest –posttest and three –month follow –up design with a control group. The statistical population included all patients with asthma referred to the specialized and sub –specialized center of Milad Hospital in Tehran City, Iran, in 2019. Of whom, 45 eligible individuals (based on inclusion and exclusion criteria) volunteered to participate in the study. They were randomly assigned to three groups: positive psychology training, stress inoculation training, and the control group. Data were collected using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck et al., 1988) and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (Morisky et al., 1986). Positive psychotherapy training was conducted in fourteen 90 –minute sessions twice a week for two months. Immunization training against stress was conducted during nine 90 –minute sessions. No intervention was provided for the control group.</span> Central and dispersion indices such as mean and standard deviation were used to describe the data. For data analysis, repeated measures analysis of variance, Tukey and Bonferroni post hoc tests, analysis of variance, and the Chi –square test were used in SPSS.22 software. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.05. </span></span>

</span> The analysis of variance of variables of anxiety and adherence to treatment was significant for time effect (p<0.001), group effect (p<0.001), and time*group effect (p<0.001). Positive psychology training and stress inoculation training were effective on anxiety (p<0.001) and adherence to treatment (p<0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the two types of training in variables of anxiety (p=0.017) and adherence to treatment (p<0.001). In the experimental groups, the mean scores of variables of anxiety and adherence to treatment in the posttest and follow –up stages were significantly different from the pretest stage (p<0.001), but there was no significant difference between the posttest and follow –up stages in the mean scores of variables of anxiety (p=0.105) and adherence to treatment (p=0.804), indicating the durability of the effectiveness of the two types of training over time.</span></span></span>

</span> Based on the findings of this study, positive psychology training had a greater effect on reducing anxiety and increasing adherence to treatment of patients with asthma than stress inoculation training.</span></span></span></span>

 Cancer is considered the major health problem in the 21st century. The increasing growth of cancer in about last two decades and the detrimental effects it has had on the physical, mental, social and economic aspects of human life have, more than ever, caused concern among experts. Cancer is a "life-threatening disease" that kills more than 6.7 million people each year. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women. It is a highly heterogeneous disease in which hereditary and environmental risk factors play a role, leading to the accumulation of masses and progressive genetic and epigenetic changes in breast cancer cells. In recent years, the Psychodrama approach has been used in the psychological improvement of cancer patients. In this type of treatment, screening is used to promote the mental health of patients. Researchers have examined the usefulness of Psychodrama in the emotional regulation of patients. People who have a high level of interaction with others, their emotions are dominant and use less logical thinking in the face of different situations. These people are in dire need of approval from important people in their lives and therefore are more disposed to psychological problems such as depression in the event of stress and interpersonal problems. Psychodrama can be effective in reducing their integration by developing the role of individuals and increasing their spontaneity and creativity. In fact, Psychodrama is a method of therapy that helps participants in a process to recreate their social and psychological issues in a real context, because this treatment provides an opportunity for them to be able to vent their emotions in the right direction. Psychodrama is one of the types of group therapies that help a person to review and discover the psychological dimensions of his problem by showing them and not just through dialogue. This approach, which uses mental imagery, imagination, physical actions, and group dynamics, is a combination of art, play, emotional sensitivity, and outspoken thinking that facilitates the release of trapped emotions to help individuals acquire new and more effective behaviors and to open up undiscovered ways of resolving conflict as well as recognizing one's own form. Psychodrama connects cognitive analysis with experimental and action dimensions. In practice, implementing interpersonal interaction in a problem, involving the body and mind that an event is taking place in the present, conveys ideas and feelings to a person's level of awareness that are not possible only in the case of talking about that issue. Non-verbal aspects not only affect the quantity and quality of the relationship, but are also clues to latent internal motivations and attitudes, such as behaviors with more anger or more obvious states of fear that raise awareness of emotions Which may be hidden in the person. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a combination of theories and techniques of behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. Behavioral and cognitive approaches both derive to some extent from the empirical tradition and its emphasis is on increasing cognitive skills and decreasing maladaptive cognitive activities, and it also uses behavioral tasks to change behavior and these methods are used for patients according to their progress in each session. In a research entitled “The effect of group training on cognitive-behavioral therapy based on improving quality of life on hope and happiness in people with breast cancer” Naqibi, Saeedi and Khazaei found that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the variables of hope and happiness after adjusting the pre-test scores. A cancer diagnosis can affect the emotional health of patients, families, and caregivers. Common feelings during this life-changing experience include anxiety, distress, and depression. Roles at home, school, and work can be affected. It's important to recognize these changes and get help when needed.  

The current study was a quasi-experimental design of pre-test-post-test with a control group with follow-up. The statistical population of this study included all women aged 30-50 years with breast cancer who referred to a specialist doctor's clinic for treatment and received a diagnosis of breast cancer. The sample of the current study consisted of 45 people (15 people for each group; ie 15 people in experimental group 1, ie 15 people in experimental group 2 and 15 people in control group). In this study, the available sampling method was used; Among the people who were introduced through surgical clinics or through other specialists. About 45 patients were selected and randomly assigned again in three groups and 15 experimental (two groups) and control in each group. Inclusion criteria were; 1- Not using psychotropic drugs, narcotics and psychological therapies during the study, 2- Being over 30 years old, 3- Not having acute or chronic mental disorders, and 4- Expressing satisfaction for the participation of the subjects and criteria for leaving The study included; 1- Not attending the experimental sessions and intervention for more than two sessions, 2- Not wanting to continue attending the experimental sessions and intervention and 3- Having a severe psychiatric disorder that needs immediate treatment. The Reef Psychological Well-being Questionnaire (1989) was administered pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The therapeutic packages of psychodrama therapy and cognitive behavior therapy applied on experimental groups (ninety minutes each session) weekly and the control group did not receive any therapy.

Results showed that both of cognitive behavior therapy & psychodrama are affected the same on increasing to Mental well-being level of patients with breast cancer. Three- month follow-up confirmed these results.

By use to cognitive behavior therapy & psychodrama (especially CBT) can to increase Mental well-being level in women with breast cancer. Then this component affective to raise the health of these patients. This research has been done sectional and it is necessary to control comorbidities. The available research sample may not be representative of all patients. The results of the present study can be generalized to breast cancer patients with demographic characteristics related to this study and if it needs to be generalized to other women, this should be done with caution and sufficient knowledge. The treatment protocols implemented in this study were not implemented as a specific program for breast cancer patients, but a group training program was used. Due to the time constraints, if the time and conditions for follow-up and follow-up are possible in a longer period of time, we can talk about the treatment results with more certainty and confidence. However, due to executive and financial problems and time limitations of the dissertation, this opportunity was not provided in this study.

 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic disease with a high mortality rate and is completely different from other diseases. It is an infectious disease caused by HIV, which is transmitted through contact between blood and semen. The disease is a rapidly expanding health challenge, and research findings show that people struggling with chronic diseases such as HIV + show high levels of psychological problems and dysfunction. HIV + is also associated with low resilience. Resilience is the ability to adapt to stressors in the face of adversity, which is a learnable skill and its mechanisms moderate the relationship between pain and its consequences. In other words, resilient and stubborn people can overcome a variety of adverse effects, have a greater ability to solve problems and respond better to adverse conditions to maintain their psychological well-being. Accordingly, research shows that people with HIV + have low psychological well-being in addition to low resilience. Psychological well-being is the pursuit of perfection in the realization of one's potential, which includes self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, autonomy, purposeful living, personal growth, and mastery of the environment. Unfortunately, in addition to affecting and lowering the quality of life of an infected person, HIV + can also affect the functioning of the family and the quality of life of those around them, including parents. Quality of life is a social concept according to which a person gives a mental understanding of the good or bad of life. Accordingly, the World Health Organization defines the quality of life as an individual's perception of life in the context of society's culture and values in line with the individual's goals and interests and relates it to physical, mental, beliefs, self-reliance, and social relationships. Knows. Therefore, some researchers believe that there is as much quality of life as there are people on earth because everyone can give a different perception and meaning to life. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) was proposed by Paul Gilbert. Although the components of this treatment were initially proposed by Neff and he introduced them as awareness, kindness to oneself, and a sense of fellowship with humanity, it was Gilbert who used these structures in treatment sessions and introduced CFT. Although research findings support the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy in a wide range of clinical problems, the researcher's research shows that so far a study on the effect of this treatment on variables of resilience, psychological well-being, and quality of life in HIV + patients Has not taken place. Accordingly, this study seeks to answer the question of whether a course of treatment focused on compassion has a significant effect on resilience, psychological well-being, and quality of life of HIV + patients?

The present study was applied and included experimental designs of pre-test-post-test with an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population of the study is all 330 HIV + patients in the Center for Behavioral Diseases in 1397. According to Fidel and Tapachik's (2001) purposeful sampling method, 107 people (104+ number of dependent variables) had the criteria for inclusion in the study. They were selected from the mentioned community. For screening, the selected candidates first answered the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003), the Reef Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (1989), and the Weir and Sherborn Quality of Life Questionnaire (1992), followed by 55 people with the lowest scores. Were selected in response to the questionnaires, and finally 30 people who met the inclusion criteria and declared their readiness to conduct the study were included in the study. Candidates were randomly assigned to a 15-member experimental group and a 15-member control group. Inclusion criteria included at least one year of HIV + infection, not receiving any other psychological intervention during the study, the age range of at least 20 and at most 30 years, higher education, single marital status, and no gender consideration is. Exclusion criteria included the unwillingness of volunteers to continue the sessions and the absence of more than one session in group interventions. The experimental groups underwent 8 sessions of 120-minute treatment focused on compassion therapy (CFT). The control group did not receive any intervention until the end of the study. At the end of the interventions, all three groups were re-evaluated and the results of the interventions were compared with each other. To evaluate the stability of treatment, 1 month after the interventions, the volunteers were re-evaluated. The instruments of this study included the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003), the Reef Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (1989), and the Weir and Sherborne Quality of Life Questionnaire (1992). Data analysis was performed in two parts: descriptive and inferential. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the data.

The findings indicate that the independent variable, ie compassion-focused treatment, has affected all research variables including resilience, psychological well-being, and physical and psychological quality of life, and are significant at the level of 0.001.

Explaining the findings of this study in the sense that compassion-focused therapy affects the variables of resilience, psychological well-being, and quality of life, it can be said that compassion-focused therapy, like acceptance and commitment therapy, is opposed to clinical diagnosis. And these variables, as described earlier, are positive psychological variables. The three basic principles taught to people living with HIV in this treatment include mindfulness awareness, common human principles, and self-kindness. People in the group learned how to be kinder to themselves and useless self-blame. This may also provide a good explanation for how this affects research variables.
