Several studies showed that anxiety affects cognitive components, mainly working memory function, and mindfulness also may be affected by this factor.

This study aimed to investigate the association between anxiety and mindfulness while emphasizing the mediating role of attention control functions.

The correlational research method and the statistical population included all subjects referred to a counseling center and a painting school in Tabriz, a music school in Saqqez, and staff of Urmia University in 2021. Participants were selected using the convenience sampling method, yielding a total of 244 subjects. All subjects filled the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Participants also responded to the tasks of Signal-Stop Task (2003) and N-Back Memory Test (1958). Data analysis was administered using SPSS-19 by descriptive and inferential statistics (i.e., Pearson and Sobel correlation tests).

The results showed a significant association between trait anxiety (r=0.56, p<0.001), state (r=-0.50, p<0.001), and update component (r=0.22, p<0.001) with mindfulness, but there was no significant association between inhibition component (r=-0.001, p>0.001) and mindfulness. Also, the indirect effect of trait anxiety and state on mindfulness through inhibition and updating components was not significant.

This study demonstrated that trait-state anxiety has no significant association with mindfulness through attention control functions, and further studies using various tools are needed to investigate the effect of anxiety on cognitive functions.

Nail biting is an inappropriate habit and its exact cause is debatable. Researchers believe that nail biting disorder is often associated with psychiatric disorders, including anxiety. State/trait anxiety can be considered an unstable emotional state reflecting the individual's interpretation of a stressful situation in a particular time frame and varies depending on the degree to which the situation is perceived threatening. This study aims to determine the evaluation of the effectiveness of habit reversal techniques on reducing nail biting disorder and state/trait anxiety in students.

The present semi-experimental study with pretest, post-test, and follow-up was conducted on six junior high school male students in the age range of 13-15 years, who asked for help by referring to the school counseling and were selected by convenience sampling method. They received a program of habit reversal techniques individually in 6 sessions for 1 month. Clinical interviewing, frequency recording of nail biting per day, and state/trait anxiety test were used to measure the variables.

Data analysis showed that habit reversal techniques reduce nail biting and students' state/trait anxiety. Follow-up one month after the end of treatment indicated the persistence of these results.

The habit reversal training is effective on treating nail biting, reducing anxiety, and promoting the person life quality and symptoms from nail biting. Due the low sample size, it is suggested that while repeating the study in a larger sample, its effectiveness on the treatment of other habitual disorders be studied.

Infertile women often use laboratory fertilization (IVF-ET), a stressful process, to fulfill their desire for childbearing. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy training on state anxiety in infertile women undergoing IVF treatment.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted with participation of 60 women with a history of infertility who were referred to an infertility treatment center in Mashhad and were selected via convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eight sessions of 2-hour mindfulness training weekly, while the control group did not receive any psychological services. The two groups completed the questionnaires before and after the intervention. Three months later, the test group completed the questionnaire again to track the effects of the educational intervention.Spielberger's state anxiety questionnaire was used to measure anxiety. Data analysis was performed using single-variable covariance via SPSS software version 21.

The mean (SD) age of the experimental group was 31.1 (4.9), and the control group 31.2 (5.1). The mean (SD) score of state anxiety in the experimental group decreased from 44.1 (12.8) in the pre-test to 41.4 (11.1) in the post-test and 40.8 (11.1) in the follow-up stage (P<0.001). However, the mean (SD) score of state anxiety in the control group decreased from 47.1 (12.3) in the pre-test to 46.5 (12.1) in the post-test and 46.2 (12.1) in the follow-up stage, which was not statistically significant.

The study showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy training reduced state anxiety among infertile women undergoing IVF treatment

The substance-dependent individuals encounter different psychological pressures including anxiety disorders. Studies have showed about forty percent of alcohol-dependent individuals have been diagnosed as one of the subtypes of the anxiety disorders during their life. Also, previous studies have showed cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) is very effective in reducing substance use and relapses, coping with negative emotions and improving patients’ wellbeing. Given the effectiveness of CBT, the present study was conducted to investigate effectiveness of cognitive reconstruction as part of CBT in reducing the anxiety of the substance users. Based on cognitive reconstruction theory, the individual’s reactions to events are determined not by the features of the events but by the individual’s interpretation of them; in other words, how individual reacts to events of his/her life, depends on his/her special definition and interpretation of them. The present study employed a two group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design.  The Study population included all men who had referred to rehabilitation center of Malard. Convenience sampling was used to recruit 38 participants. The research instrument was Spielberger State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The reliability of the normalized version of the research instrument is reported to be 0.91 and for trait anxiety scale. The participants were assigned to experimental and control groups. Each group included 19 participants. Two weeks before beginning the treatment, the participants filled STAI as the baseline. Then, experimental group received cognitive reconstruction in shape of group therapy for nine sessions while the control group received no therapy. Finally, two weeks after the treatment, all the participants were asked to fill STAI as the post-test. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was used to test the research hypotheses.  The results showed there is a significant difference between two groups in general anxiety as well as state anxiety and trait anxiety (p<0.01) in the post-test after removing preexisting differences through MANCOVA procedures. It is concluded that that substance-dependent individuals are more anxious than non-dependent individuals: In addition, cognitive reconstruction therapy could result in reducing state and trait anxiety of the substance-dependent individuals. So cognitive reconstruction therapy (as a part of CBT) can help substance-dependent individuals to control and reduce their anxiety.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that can be stimulated and intensified by psychological factors such as anxiety. The present research aimed at determining the effect of neurofeedback as a psychological treatment technique in decreasing anxiety and symptom severity of patients with IBS.
This research was a quasi-experimental study (pretest-posttest, with control group). Statistical population of the present research included all women who attended health centers in Tehran due to gastrointestinal disorders and were diagnosed by gastroenterologist as having IBS based on Rome III criteria. Thirty women with IBS attending a gastroenterology clinic were selected by way of convenience sampling method and were put randomly into two experimental and control groups (each 15). The experimental group underwent neurofeedback treatment in 20 sessions of 45 minutes, 2 days each week, and the control group remained in the waiting list. Both groups were examined by Speilberger State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and IBS Severity Index (IBSSI), and their brain wave baselines were registered. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).
Findings showed that neurofeedback treatment has significantly resulted in a decrease in symptom severity of patients with IBS (p Results showed that neurofeedback is influential in improving anxiety and symptom severity of IBS and it is a proper treatment method for IBS patients with very limited side effect and long-term treatment effect.

Much effort has been made to explain theoretically the impact of anxiety on cognitive functions, one of these theories is attentional control theory. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of working memory in two groups of normal and anxiety students according to the attentional control theory.

Method of research was causal-comparative. the statistical society was female student dormitory of azarbaijan shahid madani university in 2013- 2014 , which were selected using convenience sampling . 178 students first completed the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. After scoring a total of 67 students from 25 high percentage of distribution (people with high trait and state anxiety) and 25 percent lower distribution (those with low trait and state anxiety) were selected and divided into two groups of high anxiety and low anxiety.

The results showed that there were significant differences between two groups of high anxiety and low anxiety(p

Based on these Results, we can conclude that anxiety has significant effects on students working memory performance.

With regard to the importance of mental health in student category particularly for military students, owing to the stress and tension in the military atmosphere which leading to insecurity, reducing the efficiency, and anxiety in these students, therefore this study has been done to investigate the prevalence of state and trait anxiety and its relationship with demographic variables in nursing students of elected military medical university. In this descriptive study, 130 nursing students of elected military medical university were selected by census method. Data collection tools included the researcher made demographic questionnaire and Spielberger State-Trait anxiety inventory that included 40 questions. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS software version 18 and descriptive statistics were calculated. The results showed that 98.5% of the students had a moderate to high to extreme anxiety state and 98.5% of these students had moderate to very severe anxiety. There was a significant association between dormitory residency and state-trait anxiety, as the anxiety level was higher in dormitory resident student. Considering the high prevalence of anxiety and likely to exacerbate the problem in the period of responsibility, therefore screening methods and increasing students’ mental health in is essential. So, it is suggested that using methods for reducing anxiety such as improving the environment conditions.

Anxiety is the most common mental disorder. Reduction of risk factors related to anxiety reduces the costs and problems. The present study was conducted to determine correlation between attachment styles (secure, ambivalent and avoidant) and anxiety dimensions (State, Trait). This is a correlation descriptive study, in which 400 students (217 male, 183 female) from Mahabad Islamic Azad University were selected by stratified random sampling. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (AAQ Shaver and Hazan) was applied for measuring attachment styles. Anxiety Inventory (Spiel Berger State-Trait) was used to measure anxiety dimensions. Data were analyzed by software SPSS (version 14) and involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means, standard deviations and Pearson`s correlation coefficients. There were significant correlation between secure attachment style and anxiety trait among male students, not significant correlation between avoidant attachment style and anxiety trait among male students, and significant correlation between ambivalent attachment style with anxiety trait among male students. Also, significant correlation was found between attachment style and anxiety and state among male students. The correlation between attachment styles and anxiety trait- state was not significant among female students. Attachment security is a protective factor against anxiety.

Backgrund: Pregnancy is associated with physical and psychological changes in pregnant women. Thus, we evaluate the effectiveness of stress management training with cognitive-behavioral approach on psychological aspects of primiparous women including state/trait anxiety, pregnancy anxiety and mental health.

This research is a quasi-experimental study with pre and posttest. The convenience sampling included 30 primigravidae who obtained a standard deviation above the mean in mental health questionnaire and who enjoyed the demographic standard of the research. They were randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control (n=15). The experimental group was provided with stress management training 2 hours per day on a weekly basis, but the control group only had usual pregnancy cares. Then, they were again assessed by the mentioned questionnaires. The collected data were evaluated by multivariate covariance and were analyzed using SPSS software.

The findings indicated that stress management training with cognitive-behavioral approach had a significant effect on state/trait anxiety (p< 0.001), pregnancy anxiety (p< 0.003) and its aspects (concerns about child birth (p< 0.002, concerns about interpersonal emotions/relationships P< 0.02) as well as mental health (P< 0.015), but has no significant effect on the concerns about changes in body (p< 0.12) appearance.

Stress management training program is an appropriate approach for mental health promotion and distress reduction due to the anxiety of primigravidae in dealing with the pregnancy stresses.

Anal fissure is one of the commonest anorectal diseases which may cause trouble in its acute phase. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the relationship of anxiety (state and trait) with anal fissure. It is a prospective case-control study which was conducted on 83 patients with anal fissure which, diagnosed by a general surgeon, and 83 normal demographically matched controls during 2007-2008 in Mashhad, Iran. Participants filled out Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) as well as researcher-made demographic questionnaires under the supervision of researchers. The collected data were analyzed employing logistic regression, chi-square, and exact fisher tests.Participants in each experimental and control groups consisted of 19 males and 64 females. The two groups were homogeneous on sex, age, educational level, and marital status in males. Logistic regression test showed a significant difference in trait anxiety between two groups in each sex (females P=0.0085, males P=0.0206). Such difference was not observed between the two groups in state anxiety. Exact fisher and chi-square tests revealed a significant difference between females with higher levels of anxiety in two groups (state P=0.015, trait P= 0.010). The findings of this study showed a significant relationship between trait anxiety and anal fissure in both sexes. This relation was not observed for state anxiety. Also, the results revealed a relation between rate of anxiety and anal fissure in females.
