Diabetes is the most common disease caused by metabolic disorders. Diabetes disrupts the regular flow of life and affects individuals’ Quality of Life in various dimensions. Some interventions based on cognitive behavioral therapy  have been used to improve the QoL of patients with diabetes. This study aimed to systematically review the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in terms of improving the QoL of diabetic patients in Iran.

External (Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) and internal (SID, Magiran) databases were searched from the inception to February 2023. Cognitive behavioral interventions were compared with pre-test and post-test design and usual care control group or other psychosocial interventions. The standardized mean difference effect was calculated using a random effects model with 95% confidence. The risk of bias was assessed according to Cochrane(Rob). Data was analyzed using RewMan-5 software.

A total of 14 studies involving 444 diabetes patients were included in this study. At the first stage of the search, 504 articles were obtained. After reviewing the title and abstract of the articles, 465 articles were excluded due to being irrelevant and repetitive and 39 articles remained. Finally, 14 studies were selected by reviewing the abstracts of the articles and considering the inclusion criteria. Compared to the control group, the standardized mean difference for the effect of CBT on QoL in posttest was high (SMD = 1.06, 95% CI = [0.63, 1.48]) was obtained; The standard mean difference for the effect of CBT on quality of life in the follow-up phase was also moderate and equal to(SMD = 0.66, 95% CI = [0.34, 0.98]). The heterogeneity between the results of the studies was high (76%). Most of the studies had an unclear risk of bias. Despite publication bias, only one study had a high error and less accuracy than the rest of the studies.

This study shows promising results regarding the effects of psychological interventions on QoL, especially on CBT-based interventions. Screening patients with diabetes for mental health comorbidities and referring to a mental health specialist in the context of a multidisciplinary approach should be a priority.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of women's sexual cycles on executive functions and emotional recognition.

The present study is a descriptive causal-comparative study that studied a group of women in three sexual stages (bleeding, follicular, and luteal). The research sample consisted of 30 healthy female volunteers aged 20 to 40 years from the city of Isfahan who were selected from Isfahan by available means and according to the inclusion criteria. Data collection tools included Wisconsin Card Classification Test software, Stroop Test software, NBK test software, and Montania et al. (2007) Emotion Recognition Scale.

According to the results of repeated measures analysis of variance, there was no difference in executive functions and recognition of facial emotion in different sexual cycles in healthy Iranian women aged 20 to 40 years.

Given that recent findings with brain imaging technologies have shown that hormone levels in the brain affect both brain structure and function, further studies with more accurate tools to determine the effects of hormones on cognitive and executive functions And face processing is necessary. Because, these differences seem to be so subtle that tools such as the tests used in this study, could not detect it.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness training based on stress reduction on resilience and life expectancy of AIDS patients.

The method of the present study was quasi-experimental with pretest, posttest and control group. The statistical population of the study was among the patients with HIV / AIDS in 1398 who referred to Shariati Government Hospital in Isfahan. Using available sampling, 61 people were studied as a sample. اند. Then, based on the entry and exit criteria, 45 people were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The instruments used to collect data were the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale and the Hertz Life expectancy Questionnaire. After the implementation of the research data, the subjects studied, scored and interpreted and in order to compare the mean scores of the two experimental and control groups and the effect of pre-test scores and other intervening variables on post-test, analysis of covariance was used.

The results showed that there was a difference between the mean scores of resilience in the three groups of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness training based on stress reduction and control. There is also a significant difference between the mean scores of life expectancy in the three groups of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness training based on stress reduction and control.

In general, the results indicate the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness training based on stress reduction on resilience and life expectancy of AIDS patients
