Introduction: Anxiety is a common problem in caesarean section patients that can have adverse consequences. Benson relaxation can be useful as a complementary medicine method to reduce anxiety. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Benson's relaxation on the anxiety level of primiparous pregnant women applying for cesarean section.
Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental interventional study was conducted among 132 primiparous pregnant women who had beeb referred to the Shahada Qain Medical Training Center for elective cesarean section in 2021. The participants in the study were selected by available sampling method and were randomly divided into two intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, the samples were given relaxation training through headphones.The Spielberger questionnaire was used to determine anxiety. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 16) and paired t-test, independent t-test and chi-square. The significance level of P<0.05was considered.
Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the demographic and background variables, the mean variables,overt, hidden, and total anxiety in the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the comparison of the two groups showed that the mean scores of overt, hidden and total anxiety in the intervention group significantly decreased compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Despite the reduction of anxiety in the intervention group, the results indicated that the total and obvious anxiety in the control group also decreased significantly after the intervention. It seems that factors other than Benson's relaxation technique in this research, such as studying mothers, participating in pregnancy classes have been able to reduce anxiety among the research samples.

Background and Purpose: Cardiac catheterization is one of the most common diagnostic and therapeutic methods of cardiovascular diseases. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of guided imagery on patients’ anxiety awaiting cardiac catheterization.
Materials and Methods: This interventional study(randomized trial) was carried out on 62 patients undergoing coronary angiography for the first time in vasey hospital of Sabzevar in 2013. .In the case group ,guided Imagery method(a method of relaxation) was performed Information was collected via a State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and an anxiety standard questionnaire. Data analysis was done using SAS 9.1 and SPSS 16 statistical softwares.
Results: The average age of participants in this study was 57.06 ±8.9 years. 25 participants (40.32%) were female and 37 (59.67%)were male. in the case group , mean score of State-Trait Anxiety decreased significantly in comparison to the control one after the intervention. (p
