One of the factors influencing the preparation for addiction is personality traits and temperament. Considering that so far little study has been done on the relationship between different temperaments (mizaj) of Persian medicine and preparation for addiction, the present study aimed to investigate the role of these mizaj in studentschr('39') preparation for addiction.

The design of the present study was descriptive cross-sectional. A total of 241 students studying in the universities of Mobarakeh were selected by quota sampling method and answered the Iranian preparation for addiction scale and Mizaj determination questionnaire. After determining the Mizajes of the sample, the average preparation for addiction was compared with 9 types of mizaj using analysis of variance.

The results of analysis of variance showed that the average preparation for addiction in at least one mizaj is significantly different from other mizajes. Examination of the results of LSD post hoc test showed that the mean of preparation for addiction in warm-temperate mizaj was significantly lower than the mean of preparation for addiction in cold-temperate, cold-wet, and cold-dry and hot-dry mizajes.

In general, the results of the present study show that people with all types of cold and hot-dry mizajes have the highest vulnerability and people with warm-temperate have the least vulnerability to addiction. These results were explained in the theoretical and research context and traditional medicine strategies in maintaining health and tempering mizajes, to protect the tendency to addiction in people with vulnerable mizajes and prevent the movement of non-vulnerable mizajes to the vulnerable were presented.

Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common, costly and debilitating type of disorder among functional gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of trans-diagnostic treatment and acceptance and commitment therapy and the control group on emotion regulation and illness perception in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

 The present research was quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all of the patients with irritable bowel syndrome referred to Poursina Hakim Center of Isfahan during 2019-2020. The sample researchconsisted of 45 infected patients that were selected by available sampling method. In addition, they were randomly placed in two experimental groups (15 patients in each group) and one control group (with 15 patients). Integrated trans-diagnostic intervention of Barlow (2011) was done for the first experimental group during 8 session (90min). On the other hand, acceptance and commitment therapy of Hayes (2002) was done for the second experimental group during 8 session (90min) in two months interval and the control group did not receive any intervention. From the Broadbent et al.'s illness perception questionnaire and the Garnefski & Kraaij (2006) cognitive- emotion regulation and demographic data sheet were used to collect the findings. Multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The software used was SPSS version 19.

The results showed that trans-diagnostic therapeutic interventions and acceptance and commitment did not have a significant effect on increasing illness perception and reducing non-adaptive strategies. Trans diagnostic treatment and acceptance and commitment had affected on increasing adaptive strategies (P <0.05).

Therapists can adopt effective methods by using above- mentioned interventions in order to improve the condition of patients having irritable bowel syndrome to increase the efficacy of their treatments.

Burning is one of the most painful medical injuries. Due to the painful treatment processes, the time of dressing changes and treatment processes perceive very long for patients. recently, emerging therapies such as virtual reality (VR) have been used to reduce duration of time. In this regard, the aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of drug therapy and virtual reality on the time perception in burn patients of Imam Musa Kazem Center in Isfahan.

This study was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test with a control group. For this purpose, from the statistical population of this study, which consisted of all eligible patients admitted to the burn ward of Imam Musa Kazem Center in Isfahan in 2019, 75 patients of the burn ward of Imam Musa Kazem Educational and Medical Center by sampling Available types were selected. Then, 45 patients were enrolled in the study and were randomly assigned to two groups: experimental 1 (VR), experimental 2 (drug therapy) and a control group (15 people in each group). Subjects responded to the GRS scale before and after the interventions.

The results showed that both virtual reality and pharmacotherapy had a significant effect on time perception of pain (p <0.05). Also, both virtual reality and pharmacotherapy had a significant effect on the perception of pain over time in patients with burns and in comparing the two treatments, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of virtual reality therapy and pharmacotherapy in reducing pain intensity (0.05 > p). The effects of both treatments were also stable over time.

 In addition to drug therapy, the use of emerging technologies such as virtual reality seems useful to reduce the damage caused by the treatment process in burn patients.
