Breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. For patients with breast cancer, pain is a common and debilitating symptom that can negatively impact physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In this randomized controlled trial, we aim to determine the effect of meaning-centered pain coping skills training (MCPC), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), on pain self-efficacy and life expectancy in women with breast cancer.

We enrolled 45 adults females with stage III breast cancer referred to the Bazarganan Hospital and Roshana Oncology clinic in Tehran, were randomly assigned to one of the three MCPC (n = 15), MBSR (n = 15) or control (n = 15) groups. MCPC is a 6-session and MBSR is a systematic educational program during an 8-week period. The control group had no additional contact. Measures assessing the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Snyder Adult Hope Scale were administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up.

Both the MCPC and MBSR groups achieved significant improvement in pain self-efficacy  and life expectancy with statistically significant differences between groups. However, no significant difference was reported between the effectiveness of the interventions used in the present study on self-efficacy in breast cancer patients. Thus, the intervention of MCPC showed a greater effect on increasing life expectancy in breast cancer patients (P<0.001).

Our findings, which found that the MCPC and MBSR group had improved in at both post-intervention and follow-up compared to the control group. These interventions may provide an important avenue for alleviating suffering in patients facing pain from breast cancer.

 Separation anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in childhood, which, if left untreated, can lead to severe disorders in adulthood. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of maternal training based on attachment-based intervention and cognitive-behavioral intervention on multiple dimensions of anxiety in children with separation anxiety disorder.

 This study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design, a control group, and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population included all mothers of elementary school students with separation anxiety disorder in Educational District One of Sari City in the academic year 2022-2023. Through purposive sampling, 45 participants were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of 15 students (15 in the attachment-based intervention group, 15 in the cognitive-behavioral group, and 15 in the control group). Data collection tools included the Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale– Parent version (SAAS-P) (Han et al., 2003) and The Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC) (March et al., 1997). The data was analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and SPSS-26 software.

 The results showed significant difference between the attachment-based intervention and the cognitive-behavioral intervention in reducing the multiple dimensions of anxiety (F = 4.207, P = 0.0001). Furthermore, in the post-test phase, both interventions showed equally significant effects on the various dimensions of anxiety, and the sustained effectiveness of both interventions was also observed in the follow-up phase (P < 0.001).

Based on these findings, both attachment-based intervention, which focuses on improving emotional relationships and reducing separation-related worry, and cognitive-behavioral intervention, which aims to modify maladaptive thought patterns and enhance coping skills, can be considered effective methods for decreasing multiple dimensions of anxiety in children with separation anxiety disorder. Therefore, it is recommended to use both methods depending on the circumstances of the client

  Women, due to menstruation, pregnancy, and poor iron intake and absorption, are prone to iron deficiency anemia and its effects. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of process-based therapy in working memory and sleep quality in women suffering from iron deficiency anemia and generalized anxiety disorder.

 This study utilized a single-case experimental design. For doing so, six female participants suffering from iron deficiency anemia were selected through purposive sampling and received individual process-based therapy during nine 60-minute sessions. In the pre-treatment stage, the participants responded to Newman, Zueling, Kachin, and Constantino's fourth version of the generalized anxiety disorder questionnaire and underwent clinical interviews. They also completed a working memory test and sleep quality questionnaire in baseline stages, third, sixth, and ninth sessions of the intervention, and finally at the 3-month follow-up stages. The data were analyzed using visual analysis, a stable change index, and a recovery percentage formula.

 The results pointed out that the rates of overall recovery in working memory in the intervention and follow-up stages were 52.95% and 85.43%, respectively. Moreover, the rates of overall recovery in sleep quality in the intervention and follow-up stages were 66.57% and 75.78%, respectively, indicating success in therapy.

Gifted students, characterized by unique qualities, exhibit specific emotional, social, and educational needs, impacting their growth and well-being (1, 2). Challenges faced by gifted individuals include academic underachievement, future anxiety and solitude tendencies, reduced psychological well-being, and diminished life satisfaction and perceived stress levels (4-7).Life satisfaction, a cognitive evaluation of one’s quality of life, is linked to increased general health, academic success, and student self-regulation (10, 11). Future anxiety, characterized by uncertainty and fear of impending changes, affects gifted students, leading to avoidance of future planning and negative emotional indicators (10, 12).Contrary to the assumption that highly intelligent students experience less anxiety, research suggests gifted students face heightened fears of failure and future anxiety due to high expectations (13, 14). Stress is more prevalent among high school students, posing a significant public health challenge (16). For various reasons, gifted students experience higher stress levels, requiring further research (18).Various therapeutic methods have been explored, with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) showing promise. Mahasneh et al. (2022) found that a cognitive-behavioral group counseling program reduced anxiety and future psychologicalstressin gifted students (22).This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral training on life satisfaction, future anxiety, and perceived stress in gifted students, addressing whether such training positively impacts their well-being.

The present study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group and follow-up. The statistical population included female-gifted Farzanegan high school students in Mazandaran for the academic year 2022-2023. The initial sample consisted of 187 students in the first and second grades of high school. Thirty participants were voluntarily selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with 15 assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group through random allocation.Before the intervention, participants underwent a pretest measuring life satisfaction, future anxiety, and perceived stress. Subsequently, the experimental group received eight sessions of cognitive-behavioral training, while the control group received no intervention. Posttests were administered to both groups, and a follow-up test was conducted two months after the completion of the training sessions.The sample size for this research was determined using G*Power software based on an effect size of 0.25, an alpha level of 0.05, and a power of 0.95. Inclusion criteria involved a lack of appropriate psychological well-being based on low scores on the psychological well-being questionnaire, a typical family situation (living with both parents), and willingness to participate in the research. Exclusion criteria included abnormal family situations such as divorce and a conscious unwillingness to participate.The research instruments included the following measures: 1. Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire (1985) (24), 2. Future Anxiety Scale (1996) (26), and 3. Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983) (28).
Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution table, repeated measures analysis of variance, and SPSS-22 software.

The mean age of all participants was 15.67 years, with a standard deviation (1.41). In the experimental group, the mean (standard deviation) age was 15.60 (0.98), and in the control group, it was 15.33 (1.11). The minimum and maximum ages in both groups ranged from 14 to 17. All participants were engaged in education.Ten participants (66.67%) scored between 19 and 20, and 5 (33.33%) scored between 18 and 19. In the control group, nine participants (60%) scored between 19 and 20, and six (40%) scored between 18 and 19. Additionally, regarding family size, in the experimental group, seven participants (46.67%) had one child, seven participants (46.67%) had two children, and one participant (6.67%) had more than two children. In the control group, seven participants (46.67%) had one child, six participants (40%) had two children, and two participants (13.33%) had more than two children. Furthermore, the results of the chi-square and independent samples t-test were reported, examining the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups. Since the chi-square value for family size, GPA, and age did not show statistical significance (P>0.05), it can be concluded that the two groups were homogenous in terms of family size, GPA, and age. The independent samples t-test for the age variable also revealed no significant difference between the mean ages of the experimental and control groups (P>0.05), confirming the homogeneity of the two groups.The results demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral training in the experimental group increased life satisfaction in the posttest and follow-up compared to the pretest (P<0.05). Additionally, the mean scores of future anxiety and perceived stress in the experimental group decreased from the pretest to the posttest and follow-up (P<0.05).

The present study concluded that the application of cognitive behavioral therapy to gifted students has a positive effect on life satisfaction. Similarly, this approach can help reduce future stress and anxiety and prepare students to face life’s challenges. In the educational environment, these results can help organizations and schools formulate their educational programs in such a way that they improve the psychological and social health of students at the same time, in addition to academic advancement. This intervention can be used as a comprehensive and appropriate tool in the process of educating students who are intelligent and sensitive to psychological issues. Moreover, it is recommended to use cognitive behavioral intervention concepts in textbooks such as thinking, psychology, and family management to increase the psychological well-being of gifted students.

It can be concluded that eating-based mindfulness training was effective on emotional processing and differentiation of overweight women and this effect continued until the follow-up period.

Eating disorder is one of the worrisome factors of public health and several factors play a role in it, among which the main role of tendency to guilt and shame can be mentioned. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of “Compassion-Focused Therapy” on tendency to guilt and shame in woman with eating disorders.

The current research was of semi-experimental type with pre-test, post-test with control group. The statistical population of this research included all women aged 18 to 40 years who visited an obesity treatment clinic in Tehran in 1401. 30 people were selected using the purposive sampling method and the convenience method. Then, using a simple random method of lottery, "Compassion-Focused Therapy" (15 people) and the control group (15 people) were assigned to the group. Data collection instruments, including demographic information, "Eating Attitude Test-26", "Self-Compassion Scale- Short Form" and “Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale”. The validity of the instruments was not measured and it was limited to the previous researches. Reliability was measured by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the instruments. “Compassion-Focused Therapy” was implemented during 8 sessions of 90 minutes (during 2 months) for the intervention group, but no training was provided to the control group. The data was analyzed in SPSS.21.

The implemented intervention caused changes in the tendency to guilt and shame scores of people with eating disorders in the later stages and follow-up in the intervention group, and the effect of this intervention was stable in the follow-up stage (2 months later) and the average still decreased. In other words, by adjusting the effect of these independent variables, the group effect shows that the average score after and follow-up has a significant difference (P=0.034) and the group effect is also significant (P<0.001).

“Compassion-Focused Therapy” reduces the tendency to guilt and shame of woman with eating disorders. It is suggested that clinical psychologists and therapists in their interventions, especially in the field of tendency to guilt and shame with eating disorders use the above therapy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) on reducing bereavement symptoms in bereaved children.

The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population was all children aged 9 to 11 years old in Sari city who lost one of their parents due to covid-19 disease. In order to select a statistical sample, 30 people who met the criteria of the study and were willing to receive treatment were selected and assigned to an experimental group and a control group (each group contains 15 people) by a simple random method. The experimental group received Cohen, Mannarino and Knudsen's (2004) trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy in a group method during 16 90-minute sessions, and the control group did not receive any intervention until the follow-up test. The instrument used in this study included the Children's Bereavement Scale (IPG-C) (Spwich et al., 2011). The data obtained in the three stages of pre-test, post-test and follow-up were analyzed using SPSS-22 software by variance analysis with repeated measurements.

The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy focused on trauma led to the reduction of grief symptoms (F=4.69; P<0.05) of bereaved children. The results also showed that the effect of the treatment was permanent during follow-up.
