The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on wound healing and perceived stress in post abdominal surgery patients. The statistical population included all patients who were candidates for abdominal surgery admitted to Golestan Hospital in Tehran. 50 of these patients were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into 2 study groups. The experiment group received an 8-session intervention of MBSR and the second group was considered as a control. Data were collected using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Scale (Bates-Jensen, 2012) and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (Cohen, Kamarck & Merslestein, 1983) and analyzed by repeated measurement variance analysis. The results showed that MBSR has an effect on wound healing and perceived stress in post abdominal surgery patients (P <0.001). therefor MBSR accelerate wound healing and also reduce side effects and perceived stress in the post-test and follow-up phase in the above patients. thus, this treatment model can be used as adjunctive therapy to prevent or reduce complications after abdominal surgery.

 This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive therapy and mindfulness on depression in women with gestational diabetes.

 This study was quasi-experimental. The statistical population consisted of women with gestational diabetes who referred to the Rey Health and Treatment Network. Using convenience sampling, 45 individuals were selected and randomly assigned to three groups: mindfulness, cognitive therapy, and control. The pre-test included the administration of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. The mindfulness and cognitive therapy groups each received eight 60-minute sessions, held twice a week. The post-test was conducted immediately after the interventions, followed by a one-month follow-up test. The inclusion criteria were: age between 18 and 35 years, pregnancy term of 24 to 28 weeks, and a minimum ability to read and write. The exclusion criteria included: absence from more than two therapy sessions, use of psychotropic medication, simultaneous or recent (within one year) psychotherapy, and exposure to significant and unpredictable stressors. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with SPSS 25 software.

 The results of ANOVA indicated a significant difference between the three groups in the post-test and follow-up phases (p < 0.01). Bonferroni post-hoc analysis revealed that cognitive therapy was more effective in reducing depression compared to mindfulness (p < 0.01). Additionally, both mindfulness (p < 0.01) and cognitive therapy (p < 0.01) were effective in improving depression, and these effects persisted in the follow-up phase (p < 0.01).

 Cognitive therapy demonstrated greater effectiveness in improving depression in women with gestational diabetes compared to mindfulness. However, both approaches were effective in reducing depression.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate structural equation modeling of the mediating role of self-care behaviors in the relationship between mindfulness and self-compassion with the psychological distress of dialysis patients. This was descriptive-correlation research. The statistical population of the study was dialysis patient’s Kashan city in March to July of year 2024. The sample size was selected based on Klein's model (2023) and with subjectivw sampling of 300 dialysis patient’s. Data collection tools include the Kessler psychological distress scale (K-10) of Kessler and et al (2003), the Freiburg mindfulness inventory (FMI) of Walach and et al (2006), short form of the self‐compassion scale (SF-SCS) of Raes and et al (2011) and exercise of self‐care agency scale (ESCAS) of Kearney and Fleischer (1979). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and structural equations modeling. Data analysis software was SPSS and AMOS version 28. Te results showed direct effect of mindfulness (β= -0.62 and sig=0.001) and self-compassion (β= -0.53 and sig=0.001) were significant on self-care behaviors. Also, the results showed that theory of mind had a mediating role in relationship between mindfulness (β= -0.50 and sig=0.001) and self-compassion (β= -0.47 and sig=0.001) with self-care behaviors. Also, the final research model had a good fit (RMSEA=0.05, p<0.05). According to the findings of this research and the importance of the role of the mindfulness and self-compassion mind in the self-care behaviors of dialysis patients, it is suggested to experts in this field to use the training of mindfulness and self-compassion to improve psychological distress in dialysis patients.

The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive flexibility, rumination and worry in students with depressive symptoms. This research accomplished with semi-experimental method with a three-group including mindfulness, transcranial direct current stimulation treatment and control groups in three stages of pre-test, post-test and follow-up.The statistical population of this research consisted of all the students of University of Zanjan in the academic year of 1400-1401. 400 students fulfilled the Beck depression online questionnaire and among whose score was average or higher than average, 45 persons randomly selected and randomly assigned to one of three groups (each group 15 participants).Then in two experimental groups respective treatmenta implemented.No treatment implemented in control group. After ending treatment sessions and again two months after, post-test and follow up were accomplished. The data was analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis (mancova) and using spss26. The results showed that mindfulness therapy and transcranial direct current stimulation treatment reduced depression, worry and rumination scores and increased cognitive flexibility at post-test, but in the follow-up, the effectiveness of mindfulness on depression, rumination, and worry was more than transcranial direct current stimulation.However, the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation in the follow-up on increasing cognitive flexibility was more than mindfulness. The results showed that both treatment methods were effective in reducing depression symptoms, but their effectiveness was different; Therefore, paying attention to the specific symptoms and complaints of depressed patients should be taken into consideration in choosing an effective treatment.

This study used meta-analysis to analyze and combine existing evidence on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing competitive anxiety among athletes in Iran. The study included ten quasi-experimental studies conducted between 2017 and 2024, published in Persian. Studies were included based on specific criteria, such as using valid tools, providing sufficient data for effect size calculations, and being experimental or quasi-experimental in nature.The results of the meta-analysis showed a combined effect size of -1.275, with observed effect sizes ranging from -0.086 to -1.647. The Q statistic for the ten effect sizes, with 9 degrees of freedom, was 15.419, which was not statistically significant, indicating no heterogeneity in the effect sizes of the primary studies. To further assess heterogeneity, the I² statistic was also used, revealing that 41.631% of the variation in effect sizes was attributable to real heterogeneity, which, according to Higgins et al. (2003), indicates moderate heterogeneity in the primary studies. Based on these analyses, a fixed-effects model was chosen for the meta-analysis, and the combined effect size was calculated to be -1.275.The results of this meta-analysis align with previous theoretical and empirical foundations, confirming the effectiveness of mindfulness-based interventions in reducing competitive anxiety among athletes. Therefore, mindfulness-based therapy can be considered an effective method for improving athletic performance and reducing competitive anxiety, and can be widely used in sports psychology programs.

The present study aimed to find a model for the structural relationships of parental communication patterns and communication skills in adolescents with the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation and mindfulness. The research was applied in nature, using a descriptive-correlational method based on structural equations. The statistical population consisted of 14- to 17-year-old adolescents studying in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades of the senior high school in the 2021-2022 academic year. A sample of 314 students was selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Revised Family Communication Patterns Scale (RFCP), Jerabek's Communication Skills Inventory (2004), Garnefski and Kraaij's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2006), and the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (2004). Data analysis was performed through structural equation modeling using Amos software. The results indicated that cognitive emotion regulation can mediate the relationship between parental communication patterns and communication skills, but mindfulness did not mediate this relationship. Thus, it can be concluded that appropriate relationships in society are based on suitable family relationships, and the more suitable the emotional relationships within families, the more stable and stronger both the family and society will be.

This study has been undertaken to investigate the mediating role of mindfulness in the effect of family emotional climate on successful academic identity. The research method was descriptive and correlational, using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all junior high school students in Qom during the 2021-2022 academic year. From this population, 355 students were selected through multi-stage cluster random sampling. Data were collected using the Family Emotional Climate Scale (Hill burn, 1964), the Successful Academic Identity Scale (Was & Isaacson, 2008), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Baer et al., 2006). Structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS22 software to test the research hypotheses. The findings showed that family emotional climate had a direct and significant positive effect on successful academic identity (β = 0.26). Family emotional climate also had a direct and significant positive effect on mindfulness (β = 0.24). Mindfulness had a direct and significant positive effect on successful academic identity (β = 0.16). Family emotional climate had an indirect and significant effect on successful academic identity through the mediation of mindfulness (β = 0.04). Based on these results, educating families on emotional support for their children and training educational staff to optimize students' mindfulness in their identity formation journey leads to successful academic identity.
