Cancer has experienced alarming growth in the last two decades and is considered as an urgent health problem of modern life. Meanwhile, breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and its annual incidence is increasing at a rate of 1.8 to 2% in the world, and it ranks first among all women's cancers. However it has a major difference from other chronic diseases. In addition to requiring long-term care and treatment, it cannot be completely cured. This study  aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group self-healing training on distress tolerance, emotional reactivity and anxiety in women with breast cancer in Isfahan. It was semi-experimental in the form of pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included all women with breast cancer in Isfahan who had referred to support center for cancer patients in the first quarter of 2011, and their number was 93 people in this period of time based on the statistics received from the counseling center. 30 people were selected as the sample through available sampling and were placed in two experimental (15 people) and control (15 people) groups. The used tools were Simons & Gaher's distress tolerance (2005), Matuo & Nock's emotional reactivity (2008) and Reese and Patterson anxiety (1985) questionnaires. Self-healing group training sessions based on the protocol of Latifi and Meravi (2017) adapted from Loyd and Johnson (2010) were conducted during 14 sessions. The data were analyzed using SPSS-24 software in two descriptive and inferential (normalization and MANCOVA) according to the investigated hypotheses.   The results showed that group self-healing training on distress tolerance and its dimensions (tolerance, evaluation and regulation), emotional reactivity (sensitivity, intensity and stability) and anxiety (fear of physical symptoms, fear of cognitive control distortion, fear of observing anxiety reactions) is effective in women with cancer in Isfahan (P<0.05). Therefore, it seems that this method can be used for breast cancer patients. The reason for the effectivness of self-healing training on reducing cancer patients’ anxiety and stress in physical and psychological dimensions can be attributed to the effects of direct training in the field of fear and anxiety in this intervention. In this treatment method for treating anxiety, strategies include self-education and communication management (keeping calm, avoiding haste, avoiding useless discussions, speaking in a soft tone, not reacting quickly and not judging quickly), trusting others (patience, calmness, happiness and entrusting the solution of the problem to a higher power), adjustment of idealism (reducing the desire to be perfect and accepting mistakes as an inseparable part of every human being), order and time management (having discipline, planning and prioritization and doing necessary daily tasks), correct connection with the mind (living in the present moment), and using physical and muscle relaxation techniques (muscle relaxation, breathing, hydrotherapy, swimming, walking, religious behaviors, watching the sky, listening to the sound of water, meditation and yoga, the use of relaxing audio files at least once a day) were used and the patients were helped to reduce their anxiety to a great. Considering the confirmation of the effectiveness of self-healing training on reducing emotional reactivity and anxiety in people with cancer, it is suggested that doctors and nurses pay attention to their psychological condition in addition to physical treatments for these patients and if they observe psychological problems caused by the disease, refer them to psychologists and counsellors. It is also suggested to set up counseling and psychological centers for cancer patients in hospitals.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of self-healing education on the spiritual well-being and positive and negative emotions in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in Isfahan, Iran.

This research was a semi-experimental study with two experimental and control groups by using pre-test-post-test and 2-month follow-up. The statistical population included all MS patients reffering to the treatment center in 2020, and the sample size consisted of 31 volunteers willing to participate in educational sessions who were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The range of participants’ age was between 18 and 54 years. All participants completed positive and negative emotions questionnaires (Watson, 1988) and spiritual well-being (Dehshiri, 2010) as pre-tests under similar conditions. Subsequently, self-healing education consisting of 14 weekly sessions in 60 minutes, was considered for the experimental group. To examine the effectiveness of self-healing education on positive and negative emotions, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and to dtudy the effect of self-healing education on spiritual well-being, the Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were used due to non-establishment of the assumption of normal distribution of data.

The LSD pairwise comparisons test results showed no significant difference in positive emotion scores in the experimental group between the pre-test and post-test stages. However, significant differences were noted between the pre-test and follow-up, as well as between the post-test and follow-up stages. In examining the significance of the self-connection subscale in both the experimental and control groups, no significant difference was observed at all three stages in the control group. However, in the experimental group, a significant difference was evident at all three stages following the intervention. Also, the difference in overall spiritual well-being scores in the experimental group was significant between the pre-test and follow-up, with an increase in the follow-up period. Similarly, the difference in the connection to nature subscale in the experimental group was significant between the pre-test and follow-up, as well as between the post-test and follow-up stages, indicating a positive impact of the education. But no significant effect was observed on the individual's relationship with others, the individual's relationship with God, and the reduction of negative emotions.

The findings indicate that self-healing education improves spiritual well-being and positive emotions in MS patients. Participants likely improved their spiritual well-being in the area of self-connection by learning techniques such as spiritual elevation and inner richness, and accurately recognizing negative memories and their detrimental actions resulted in an improvement in their relationship with nature. It also appears that reducing inhibitory traits such as resentment and false beliefs leads to a change in attitude, strengthening willpower, and finding a better way to solve the problems. Additionally, tasks related to strengthening the 9 healing code may increase positive emotions.
