Introduction: Life satisfaction in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder is lower than normal people in society, so by treating this disorder, the quality of life and life satisfaction in these people can be increased. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on cognitive emotion regulation and cognitive-behavioral avoidance in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Materials and Methods: The present study is an applied research and quasi-experimental method is a pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder in Karaj in 1398. A total of 45 people were selected and randomly assigned to three groups of behavioral activation therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and control group. Cognitive emotion regulation and cognitive-behavioral avoidance questionnaires were used to measure the effectiveness of treatments. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, multivariate analysis of covariance and post hoc test using SPSS-18 software were used.
Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that there is a statistically significant difference between the effectiveness of behavioral activation therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy in adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (P=0.0001, F=57.71). But there was no statistical difference in the effectiveness of these two treatments in cognitive-behavioral avoidance. Both treatments have been equally effective in cognitive-behavioral avoidance.
Conclusion: Behavioral activation-based therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy have an effect on improving cognitive emotion regulation strategies and reducing cognitive-behavioral avoidance in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Therefore, these two therapies can be used to regulate emotions and avoidance in obsessive-compulsive patients.

Background and objectives: Considering the insufficient efficacy of the medical and educational rehabilitation treatments on behavioral problems of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), novel treatments based on Mindfulness–Based Positive Behavior support (MBPBS) therapy on mothers of these children are suggested for reducing the behavioral problems of their children. Thus, in the present study, the effect of MBPBS on mindfulness of mothers of children with ASD and the behavioral problems of children were investigated.Methods: In this study, we randomly divided 30 mothers of 8-10 year-old children with ASD into two groups of experiment and control, 15 in each group. Both groups were evaluated using Bodfish Repetitive Behavior Scale–Revised before intervention, after 8 sessions of MBPBS education of the intervention group, and one month after the intervention. Results: Mean scores of stereotyped, self-harm, monotone, obsessive, ritualistic, and limited behavior were similar at pre-test (P>0.05); while, immediately and one month after intervention, it was significantly lower in the intervention group, compared to the control group; mean scores of the above-mentioned behavior had no significant change by time in children with ASD in the control group, while it had significant decrease in the intervention group by time (P<0.001).

Introduction: Having an infant in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is very stressful and increases the risk of postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mindfulness intervention on the prevention of postpartum depression in mothers with preterm infants admitted to NICU. Materials and Methods: : In an interventional study, postpartum depression was compared in three groups under mindfulness-based developmental care (group 34 = 1), developmental care (group 39 = 2) and control (group 3 = 50). Sampling was purposive and group assignment was random. Data were collected using the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Inventory and the Demographic Information Questionnaire. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that the mean score of postpartum depression in the two months postpartum in the mindfulness-based developmental care group was significantly lower than the other two groups (pvalue <.01) While 78% of postpartum depression changes could be explained by the intervention R2 = 78%.. Conclusion: Mindfulness based interventions are effective in reducing postpartum depression scores and it is recommended that these interventions be considered at the NICUs for better effectiveness of developmental care programs and reduction of psychological complications in mothers.

Background and purpose: This study was implemented in order to study the role of neurosis and mindfulness in predicting the quality of life of diabetic patients in Delfan. Methods and materials: The research is a descriptive-correlational study. The study population included all diabetic patients, 945 individuals, in Delfan in second half of year 2015. Accordingly, using Cochran formula, 197 people were selected using simple cluster random sampling. To measure the variables of research, the mindfulness questionnaire (Bauer and colleague, 2006), quality of life questionnaire (WHO, 1996), and NEO questionnaire of neurosis (Casta and Maccarry, 1992) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regressions.Findings: The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between mindfulness with quality of life. Also, there is a significant negative relationship between neuroticism with quality of life. Regarding the amount of beta of non-judgment (Beta= 0.249), neuroticism with beta coefficient (Beta = 0.588), conscious action with beta coefficient (Beta = 0.286) and observation with beta coefficient (Beta = 0.151) are the most powerful variables to predict the quality of life of diabetic patients.Conclusion: According to research findings, it seems that improving the mindfulness in diabetic patients, will increase the quality of life and decrease the neurosis.
