The purpose of the present study was to compare EFCT and PAIRS in couple communication patterns.

The purpose of this study was quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest with a control group and two experimental groups. The statistical population of this study was all couples who referred to one of the adolescent counseling centers, Mehrodegar, Cook Life, Imam Hadi Clinic, in order to solve their marital problems. The sample consisted of 4 couples who were randomly assigned into three groups; one experimental group and one control group (8 couples in each group). In fact, the experimental groups each belonged to one of the couples' therapies (Emotion Circuit - Intimate Percussion Communication Skills). The contents of the sessions were prepared according to the basics of Emotion Therapy and Peres' intimate communication skills and were administered to the experimental groups in 9 sessions (one session per week). Data gathering tools were Couples Communication Questionnaire (CPQ) questionnaire that was completed by both groups before and immediately after the intervention. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance.

The results showed that the F value was significant at the 0.05 level for all three communication patterns (P <0.05).

Emotion-focused couple therapy and intimate communication skills training are effective on improving couple relationships. Of the two therapeutic approaches, communication skills training was more effective on couples' communication patterns.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy on Quality of Life in Patients with Functional Indigestion in Arak, in 2018.  

The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with experimental and control group. The statistical population was all women with functional dyspepsia in Arak who were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly assigned into two experimental (n = 12 and control (n = 12) groups. Finally, each group was 11. The experimental group received cognitive-behavioral group intervention in eight 90-minute sessions and the control group remained on the waiting list. The measuring tool used in the study was the Quality of Life Nippen (1998) Questionnaire. Data analysis was done by SPSS22 software in two parts: descriptive and inferential (covariance).  

The results showed that the intervention in the experimental group increased the quality of life in patients with functional dyspepsia. Also, comparing the means of the experimental and control groups, it can be concluded that the intervention in the experimental group increases the quality of life components including stress and worry, interference with daily activities, eating and drinking disorder, disease awareness and feeling. Controlling for and interfering with work and education has been functional in patients with dyspepsia.

The research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of this study consisted of 40 female students in the 1st district of Tehran who were in the eighth grade in the academic year 2017-18.

Also, among the components of academic performance, socio-emotional skills training had the highest effect on motivation and the least effect on emotional effect and lack of outcome control.  

In addition to teaching cognitive skills to teachers, students should also be trained in social-emotional skills.
