Diagnosis with cancer is a traumatic event for the affected person and challenges them in various individual, social, occupational and interpersonal fields. The present study aims to assess the effect of Memory Specificity Training (MEST) on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) of patients with cancer.

This is a quasi-experiment study with a pre-test/post-test/follow-up design. The study population consists of all patients with cancer referred to hospitals and medical centers in Tehran, Iran. Of these, 60 patients were selected by a convenience sampling method. They were randomly divided into intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group received MEST at 6 sessions, each for 90 minutes. Patients’ demographic data were recorded using a semi-structured interview. They completed the PTSD checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). Collected data were analyzed using the mixed analysis of variance in SPSS v. 24 software.

The main effect of group (F=58.56, P<0.01, η2=0.502) and time (F=579.89, P<0.01, η2=0.912) on total PCL-5 score were significant in the intervention group compared to the control group. The differences from the pretest phase to the posttest and follow-up phases were significant.

The MEST is effective in reducing PTSD symptoms of patients with cancer.Keywords: Posttraumatic stress, Cancer, Memory specificity training.

First the Metacognitions questionnaire for children(MCQ-C) was translated to Persian, then it was back translated into English. After confirming translation, the final questionnaire was administered to 350. psychometric properties of MCQ-C was examined through confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity, internal consistency and test-retest methods. Data were analyzed using SPSS software(version 21) and Amos software(version 24).

The results of confirmatory factor analysis(CFA) confirmed relative fitness of model. Also, correlation coefficients indicated favorable convergent validity of the questionnaire (P<0/01).
Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was 0/77 and the three-week retest coefficient for the whole questionnaire was 0/70, that confirmed good reliability of the questionnaire.

Current study results showed appropriate psychometric features of Metacognitions questionnaire in children. Therefore, it can be used in research and psychotherapy in the field of children' psychopathologies, especially anxiety disorders.
