Today, the survival of women with breast cancer after diagnosis has increased, but for this category of patients, not only survival is important, but adherence to treatment after the occurrence and diagnosis of the disease and increased concern about the quality of life are also important. The effectiveness of various psychological treatments on adherence to treatment and quality of life of these patients has been investigated, but there is a gap in research regarding the comparison of the effectiveness of compassion-based therapy and behavioral activation therapy on the studied variables.

The purpose of this research was to compare of the effecacy of compassion-based therapy and behavioral activation therapy on adherence to treatment and quality of life in women with breast cancer.

The design of the current research was semi-experimental, of pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a two-month follow-up. 45 women with breast cancer in Gorgan during the years 2021 and 2022 were placed in three groups of compassion-based therapy, behavioral activation therapy and control group by simple random sampling method. To collect data, were used for Medication Adherence Scale (Morisky et al., 2008) and Quality of Life Questionnaire for cancer patients (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer). participants in the experimental groups underwent the interventions of compassion-based therapy (Gilbert, 2006) and behavioral activation therapy (Dimidchian et al. et al., 2008) were included in 8 sessions of 90 minutes. Also, the data were analyzed by repeated measurement variance analysis and LSD follow-up test with the help of SPSS19 software.

The findings of the research showed that both compassion-based therapy and behavioral activation therapy were effective on the adherence to treatment and quality of life of women with breast cancer (p<0.05). Also, the results showed that behavioral activation therapy was more effective than compassion-based therapy, and this significant level was stable in the follow-up phase (p<0.05).

According to the obtained results, it seems that interventions based on compassion and behavioral activation can improve the quality of life of this group of patients, while increasing adherence to treatment in women with breast cancer. The findings of this study can help doctors, psychologists and policy makers in the field of health and mental health.

Numerous studies point to the high level of rumination in women with major depressive disorder. The aim of the present study was to compare metacognitive therapy and treatment based on behavioral activation on the dimensions of rumination in women with major depressive disorder.

The current study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all women with major depressive disorder referring to psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran, 45 of whom were selected in a targeted manner and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The instrument of this research was Rumination Response Scale. For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy and for the second experimental group, behavioral activation therapy were held in 8 90-minute sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using mixed analysis of variance.

The results indicated that metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy reduced rumination and its components at the end of the interventions and the follow-up period (p>0.05). The results showed that behavioral activation therapy is more effective in reducing rumination symptoms than metacognitive therapy (p>0.05).

Due to the effect that behavioral activation treatment has on depression, it can be effective alone or with complementary treatment in reducing rumination and depression symptoms in women with major depressive disorder.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy on guilt in women with dysthymic disorder. The current research was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and control and with follow-up groups. The statistical population of this research included all women with dysthymic disorder who were referred to psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran in 1400, and 45 people were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental groups, and one control group. The instrument of this research was Kugler and Jon's Guilt Questionnaire (1992) (CJGFQ). For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy (Wells, 2009), and for the second experimental group behavioral activation therapy (Dimidjian et al., 2008) was held in 8 90-minute sessions twice a week. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis. The results of the Varbans analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the groups in the post-test and follow-up of guilt and its components (p>0.05). The results showed that both interventions were effective in guilt and its components, but the behavior activation intervention showed more effectiveness, and a significant difference was observed between the two treatments (p>0.05). Based on the results of this study, it can be said that due to the greater effect of behavioral activation therapy on reducing guilt, alone or with complementary treatment, it can be effective in reducing guilt caused by depression in women with dysthymic disorder.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy on disturbance tolerance and negative hyperemotional dimensions of female patients with multiple sclerosis. The research was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, and control group with a two-month follow-up. The population of female patients with multiple sclerosis. The sample consisted of 30 of these women who were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to two control and experimental groups (15 people in each group). The intervention group received behavioral activation therapy during 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week. The data were collected with Simmons's (2005) disturbance tolerance scale (DTS) and Meta-emotional Mitmansgruber (2009) (MES) and analyzed by repeated measurement method. The results showed that the main effects of the group are significant for tolerance of confusion and negative overexcitement; That is, the two groups differ in terms of the average tolerance of disturbance and negative overexcitement. The main effect of disturbance tolerance is three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. In negative emotions, the main effect of the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up was reported as significant and lasting (p<0.05); The size of the effect also shows the effect of 63.4 percent of the intervention on increasing the tolerance of disturbance and reducing negative overexcitement. It can be concluded that this intervention was able to increase tolerance of disturbance and reduce negative overexcitement.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy on cognitive flexibility and depression in patients with a history of Cardiac surgery.

The quasi-experimental study was a pretest-posttest or control group. The statistical population included all Cardiac patients operated on in Tabriz heart hospitals. Based on this, about 60 people in two groups of 30 people including the experimental group (N=30) and the control group (N=30) were selected by Convenience Sampling. Beck, Steer and Brown (1996) standard depression questionnaires and Dennis and Wonder Wall (2010) cognitive flexibility questionnaire were used to collect data. Multivariate covariance was used to analyze the data.

The results of multivariate analysis of covariance of behavioral activation therapy on depression (P>0.05) and cognitive flexibility (P>0.01) and its components including alternatives (P>0.05), control (P>0.01), alternatives to human behaviors (P>0.05), are effective. Therefore, the use of behavioral activation therapy has a significant effect on depression and cognitive flexibility and its components, including alternatives, controls and alternatives to human behaviors in the experimental group.

Behavioral activation treatment reduces depression and increases cognitive flexibility and its components, including alternatives, controls and alternatives to its human behaviors in patients undergoing Cardiac surgery.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy on reducing negative emotional regulation and increasing positive emotional regulation in female patients with dysthymic disorder.

The present study was a semi-experimental one with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all patients with dysthymic disorder who attended the psychological clinics located in the 8th district of Tehran, 45 of whom were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The instrument of this research was the cognitive-emotional regulation questionnaire of Garnefski et al. (2002) with the validity of 0.73 to 0.88. For the first experimental group, metacognitive therapy (Wells, 2009) and for the second experimental group behavioral activation therapy (Dimidjian et al., 2008) were held in eight 90-minute sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were analyzed using mixed variance analysis and Benferroni in SPSS-26 software.

The results indicated that metacognitive therapy and behavioral activation therapy reduced cognitive-emotional regulation and its components at the end of the interventions and the follow-up period (p>0.05). Also, behavioral activation therapy is more effective than metacognitive therapy in reducing emotional cognitive regulation symptoms (p>0.05).

Due to the effect of behavioral activation therapy on depression, it can be effective alone or with complementary therapy in reducing cognitive-emotional regulation and depressive symptoms in patients with dysthymic disorder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy on meta-cognitive beliefs and worries about the physical image of depressed girl students. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with the control group. A total of 30 undergraduate students of the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad were selected and randomly assigned to the same experimental and control groups after an initial clinical evaluation based on the criteria of the research. The experimental group received eight sessions of 90 minutes (weekly twice) of the behavioral activation group therapy group; the control group was placed on the waiting list. To collect information in two stages, pre-test and post-test, Wales et al. (2004) meta-cognitive questionnaire and the Littleton and Associates (200) Physical Image Worry Questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings of this study showed that there is a significant difference between the mean scores of post-test of the experimental groups and the control group in the positive meta-cognitive beliefs about fear and concern of the body image. Since gaining a higher score in these two variables indicates the severity of these symptoms in people with depression, the mean of these scores in the intervention group in the post-test stage was significantly lower than the control group. Therefore, it can be said that the use of therapy techniques for treatment of behavioral activation is effective in reducing the positive meta-cognitive beliefs about worries and concerns about the physical image of depressed girl students

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of brief group behavioral activation (BA) on depression، anxiety، and rumination in patients with depression and anxiety. In a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design including a control group، 27 University students with depression and anxiety subsequent to primary clinical assessment and obtaining study requirements، selected and randomly assigned to either BA (n = 13; 8 females and 5 males) or a wait-list control group (n= 14; 8 females and 6 males). The experimental group received 8-weekly BA sessions. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)، Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)، and Rumination Response Scale (RRS) were used as the outcome measures. All subjects completed measures at pretest، posttest and 2-months follow up periods. Data were analyzed with multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The results of MANCOVA test showed that BA has significant effect on reducing of depression، anxiety symptoms، and rumination. Treatment gains remained over 2 month''s follow-up period. Brief group BA has remarkable effects on improvement of depression and anxiety symptoms and reduction of rumination in students.

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness and to compare the brief behavioral activation treatment and meta-cognitive therapy in the reduction of the symptoms and in the improvement of the quality of life in the major depressed patients. Using a pre-test post-test experimental design along with control group and also conventional sampling method, 34 female subjects, being evaluated according to DSM-IV-TR by the psychiatrist, were randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group namely group under short-term behavioral activation treatment, group under meta cognitive therapy and control group. The experimental groups were studied for two months. BDI-II, HRSD, WHOQOL-BREF were given to the subjects before and after treatment and at the 3 month follow up period. The results were analyzed using multi-variable covariance analysis, Tokay post hoc test, and T-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of the two methods of treatment. The findings not only confirmed the effectiveness of the two methods of treatment in the reduction of symptoms and improvement of the quality of life in depressed patients, but they also showed the considerable preference of the short-term behavioral activation treatment over the meta cognitive therapy at the end of the treatment and also follow-up period. Both methods of treatment were effective in the reduction of depression symptoms, and given the preference of short-term behavioral activation treatment over the meta cognitive therapy, this method (short-term behavioral activation) can be used as a selected method for depression treatment.
