Aim and Background: There is a relation between patients&#039; levels of physical functioning and their acceptance of chronic pain. However, this relation has not been examined amongst Iranian chronic pain patients. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the relation between acceptance of chronic pain and physical disability. Methods and Materials: In a descriptive-correlational study, convenience sampling was used to select 245 chronic pain patients from pain clinics in Tehran, Iran during spring and summer of 2010. The participants completed the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) and a demographic questionnaire. They also provided information about physical disability, pain intensity, and daily dysfunction. Data was analyzed using Pearson&#039;s correlation and multiple hierarchical regression models. Findings: There were significant relations between acceptance of pain and pain intensity and disability (P < 0.001). According to the regression model, acceptance of pain could predict a significant proportion of variance of disability scales (i.e. physical disability and daily dysfunction) (P < 0.0001). Therefore, it was a better predictor of disability compared to over pain intensity, gender, education, and pain duration. Conclusions: Chronic pain acceptance is an important factor in reducing the perceived disability in chronic pain patients. Therefore, acceptance-based treatment methods are helpful to decrease pain-related disability.

Aim and Background: Functional dyspepsia is a chronic disorder of the upper gastrointestinal tract that anatomical or biochemical abnormalities do not explain it. The purpose of this study was to assess the mediating role of stress, anxiety, and depression in the relationship between Alexithymia and functional dyspepsia. Methods and Materials: This research was a correlational study. 224 male and female patients with functional dyspepsia were selected by available sampling method according to the inclusion criteria. Stress, anxiety, and depression in patients were evaluated by Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (21-item) (DASS-21); Alexithymia was evaluated by Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS); and after primary diagnosis of gastroenterologist, severity of functional dyspepsia was evaluated by Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). Finally, data analysis was performed using SmartPLS software. Findings:  Alexithymia directly affected the severity of functional dyspepsia (effect size: 0.44). Moreover, Alexithymia by mediation of depression (0.20) and anxiety (0.17) affected the severity of dyspepsia at the level of 95% confidence interval (CI). However, because of the insignificance of path coefficient between the variables of stress and functional dyspepsia (T-value < 1.96), the indirect effect of the Alexithymia on the severity of functional dyspepsia with the mediation of stress was not confirmed. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate the important role of psychological factors (Alexithymia, anxiety, and depression) in functional dyspepsia.

Aim and Background: Aggression and low level of mood states are the problems which female students with depression suffer from them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of Positive Mindfulness Therapy (PMT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on aggression and mood states in female students with depression. Methods and Materials: The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest and control group. Out of 300 female high school students in Nain City in 2017, 60 participants were selected using purposeful method based on entry and exit criteria and randomly assigned into four groups (control, PMT, MBCT and CBT). To measure the dependent variables, the Aggression Questionnaire (AQ) and Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS) were used. The group of PMT, MBCT and CBT received 12 sessions of treatment and the control group did not receive any treatment. The data were analyzed with the use of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: Based on the results of ANCOVA, all three treatments had a significant effect on decrease of aggression and increase of mood states (p<0.01). Also, the effect of PMT was more than MBCT and CBT on reducing aggression (p<0.01), but the effect of three types of treatment on mood states was similar (p>0.05). Conclusions: Considering the more powerful effect of PMT compared to other two treatments in decreasing aggression and with the equal effects of three types of treatment on mood states, the use of these treatments is suggested for girl students with depression.

Aim and Background: Recent studies on depression disorders have shown constraints and deficiencies in self-compassion of these patients. Therefore, in this study, we identify the weaknesses of previous studies with the aim of providing an analytical pattern of pathology of depression focusing on self-compassion for depressed Iranian patients.

Methods and Materials: The present paper is based on the meta-analysis of previous works and papers. Accordingly, by analyzing the previous studies related to the disorders from databases such as Science Direct and Civilica, we extracted the most important indicators related to self-compassion for depressed patients out of 12 articles.

Findings: After qualitative and quantitative evaluation of Iranian and foreign studies, final synthesis was ultimately done on the 12 articles. The synthesis of articles related to the effect of self-compassion on depression and its intermediary factors showed that depression is closely related to emotions and that is of great importance in most of the studies conducted in this area.

Conclusions: It is possible to prevent and treat depression through self-compassion by pathology in three critical areas of emotion, including emotion regulation, emotional security and expressing emotion.
