Introduction: Using new psychological approaches along with biological treatments is an effective measure to reduce secondary mental symptoms caused by biological diseases. The purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of extra diagnostic treatment and treatment based on acceptance and commitment to the quality of life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome.Materials and Methods: The current study was a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all patients with irritable bowel syndrome who were referred to Hakim Poursina Center in Isfahan in 2018-2019, out of which 45 people were selected by the available sampling method and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 people). and the quality-of-life questionnaire of Patrick et al (1998) was used. For of the experimental groups, meta-diagnostic treatment packages and treatment based on acceptance and commitment were provided in eight 90-minute sessions. The data were analyzed by univariate covariance analysis using SPSS19 software.Results: Both trans-diagnostic interventions and acceptance and commitment were effective in improving the quality of life of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (p<0.05), while the examination of the difference in means in the follow-up test indicated higher effectiveness of transdiagnostic treatment on quality of life.Conclusion: With the effectiveness of both approaches used, the conclusion shows that doctors and the treatment team can prevent the severity of secondary symptoms caused by chronic diseases by using psychological treatment approaches along with biological treatments and thereby facilitate the treatment process.

Introduction: Many psychological and emotional processes can be involved in the vulnerability to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study aimed to explain the causal relationship between emotional schemas and the severity of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome based on the mediatory role of anger. Materials and Methods: The descriptive-correlational method was used in this study for data collection. The statistical population consisted of all patients with irritable bowel syndrome referred to Imam Reza Hospital's Gastrointestinal Clinic in Mashhad in 2020, from whom 323 individuals were selected by convenience sampling. Research tools included Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System (IBS-SSS) by Francis et al. (1997), Novaco Anger Scale (NAS) (1994), and Leahy Emotional Schema Scale (LESS) (2002). The data were analyzed by structural equation modeling.
Results: The indirect pathway coefficient between non-adaptive emotional schemas and the severity of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms (p<0.01, β=0.128) was positive and significant at the level of 0.01. Also, the indirect path coefficient between adaptive emotional schemas and severity of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms (p<0.01, β=-0.139) was negative and significant at the level of 0.01.
Conclusion: The present study results show that anger mediates the relationship between adaptive and non-adaptive emotional schemas with the severity of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.
