Obesity is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon, and its control and treatment are outside the scope of a single discipline. Emotion regulation is considered one of the dimensions of obesity pathology. The inability to regulate emotion also affects eating behavior. Emotion is one of the most important psychological factors in eating. Emotion regulation refers to people's efforts to influence and express their emotions. Another psychological factor that may play an important role in obesity among obese women is life orientation. Mindfulness–based stress reduction is effective in the psychological and behavioral characteristics of obese women. Mindfulness–based stress reduction is how mental skills are developed. This approach combines mental meditation, body cognition, and Yoga. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness–based stress reduction therapy in emotion regulation and life orientation among obese women.

The present research was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and follow–up design and a control group. The statistical population included all obese women referred to counseling centers for 12 months from March 2018 to March 2019 in Malayer City, Iran (n=492). The sample size was selected based on the minimum sample size in experimental studies. A total of 30 people (2 groups of 15 people, including one experimental and one control group) were selected as the study sample using the available sampling. The inclusion criteria were body mass index of 30 kg/m2 and above, satisfaction with participating in the counseling course, and not receiving psychological treatment. Subjects responded to the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Granefski et al., 2002) and Life Orientation Test–Revised (Scheier et al., 1994) before and after the interventions and in the follow–up phase (after three months). The experimental group received a mindfulness program in 8 90–minute sessions. The study data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and LSD post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05.

The results showed that mindfulness–based stress reduction significantly improved the regulation of positive and negative emotions and life orientation of obese women (p<0.001). Also, after three months, the average follow–up scores showed the stability of changes over time.

Mindfulness–based stress reduction by changing people's lifestyles, thoughts, and cognition leads to an increase in positive emotion and life orientation and a decrease in negative emotion in obese women.

The increase in the rate of self- injurious behaviors in teenagers has turned it into a major problem in societies. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of interventions with two methods of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) on distress tolerance, high-risk behaviors, and feelings of loneliness in students with self-injurious behaviors.

In this semi-experimental study, 45 female students with self- injurious behaviors were included. Samples were randomly divided into three groups (N=15): 1. mindfulness-based stress reduction group, 2. compassion-focused therapy group, and 3. control group. In the first and second group, 8 sessions of mindfulness-based stress reduction and compassion-focused therapy sessions were held, respectively. In the control group, no intervention was performed. After the sessions, all groups completed the distress tolerance, high-risk behaviors, and feeling of loneliness questionnaires and were followed up a month later.

The findings of this study revealed that both methods were effective in improving the variables of distress tolerance and high-risk behaviors, and its effect remained constant over time (P<0.01). In addition, both interventions were effective in reducing the feeling of loneliness only in the post-test phase and its effect was not maintained over time. No significant difference was observed between the average scores of the two experimental groups in all three variables in both stages (P < 0.05).

Holding mindfulness-based stress reduction as well as compassion-focused therapy sessions is effective in improving distress tolerance, high-risk behaviors, and feeling of loneliness in students with self- injurious behaviors.

Fertility is always considered one of the most important functions of the family. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of education based on acceptance and commitment with mindfulness-based stress reduction in reducing anxiety and depression of infertile women.

Methods and Materials: This study was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population included infertile women referring to infertility centers in Yazd in the fall of 1400. 36 of them were selected by available sampling method and then randomly replaced into three groups. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) by Zigmond and Snit (1983) was used to collect data. One of the experimental groups received training based on acceptance and commitment therapy during ten sessions, and the other group received training based on mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy for ten sessions. The control group was also placed on the waiting list. Data analysis was done using statistical methods of Analysis of Covariance with SPSS version 26. Participants were allowed to leave the study whenever they wished. The informed consent form was completed by the individuals before the study began.

The results of covariance analysis showed that both interventions based on acceptance and commitment and mindfulness-based stress reduction were effective in reducing depression and anxiety of infertile women in the post-test and follow-up phase (P≤0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in the post-test and follow-up stages.

Based on this, it can be concluded that these two treatment methods are effective in improving the mental health of infertile women. Therefore, these treatments can be used as complementary treatments to reduce psychological problems in infertility treatment centers.

job stress is defined as the accumulation of stressful factors in job-related situations, which most people agree is stressful, and it can be the direct factor in the intention to leave the job. The present study investigates the effectiveness of virtual reality exposure therapy and compares its effectiveness with mindfulness-based stress reduction based on mindfulness on the components of job stress employees with job stress.

 Adolescence is the most critical stage of life, with a higher tendency to engage in risky behaviors. Self–control is a self–regulation skill because it plays a prominent role in increasing people's ability to regulate their emotions and behavior in response to their needs and life problems. Also, distress tolerance is one of the critical psychological characteristics that needs attention in adolescents with risky behaviors. Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is one of the treatments well–received in recent years, and the research background shows that it can affect the mentioned variables. However, its role in the sample group of adolescents with risky behaviors has not been well investigated, and the relevant studies are very few and limited. The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of MBSR on self–control and distress tolerance in adolescents with risky behaviors.

 The present research method was quasi–experimental, employing a pretest–posttest and a two–month follow–up design with a control group. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all male senior high school students in Rasht City, Iran, in 2023. A total of 30 qualified volunteers from this population were included in the study using the purposive sampling method, and they were assigned into MBSR and control groups (15 people in each group) using a random process. Iranian Adolescents Risk–Taking Scale (Zade Mohammadi et al., 2011), Self–control Scale (Tangney et al., 2004), and Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005) were the instruments of research. To perform the therapeutic intervention, Kabat–Zinn's Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction (1980) was implemented for the experimental group in 8 sessions. At the same time, the control group did not undergo any psychotherapy intervention. The research data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance, and the Bonferroni post hoc test was run in the SPSS26 software at a significance level of 0.05.

 The results showed significant effects of time, group, and time and group interaction on the scores of self–control variables and distress tolerance (p<0.001). The comparison of the average scores of pretest with posttest and pretest with follow–up for the variables of self–control and distress tolerance in the experimental group was significant (p<0.001). Also, for self–control and distress tolerance variables, the lasting effect of mindfulness therapy based on stress reduction in the experimental group was confirmed in the follow–up (p=1.000).

 This study shows that MBSR therapy is effective in increasing the self–control and distress tolerance of adolescents with risky behaviors. Therefore, counselors and therapists may use this treatment to improve these variables in mothers of adolescents with risky behaviors.

Numerous studies have examined the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction on Self-Care Behaviors . But there is research gaps between comparing the effectiveness of two classic cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) and reducing mindfulness-based stress (MBSR) on Self-Care Behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thirty-six diabetic patients were selected by simple random sampling and randomly assigned to three 12-person groups (two experimental groups and one contrast group). Research tools Cohen's Self-Care Behaviors Questionnaire (2000), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy (Mouse et al., 2015) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Moloudi and Fattahi, 2011; Samadzadeh and Hamkaran, 2018). Data analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

The two cognitive-behavioral therapies of classical behavior and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy have had a significant effect on Self-Care Behaviors in the sample (P <0.001). Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Therapy has been more effective than classical cognitive-behavioral therapy in examining students' perceived stress (P <0.001); Anxiety has been studied in the sample (P <0.001). There was no significant difference between the two treatments in terms of the effect on Self-Care Behaviors (P <0.001).

Patients who participated in cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions and mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy experienced perceptual stress and experienced less anxiety sensitivity.
