“…According to our review, the first article that psychologically investigated Rumi's thoughts was published in 1999 (25). Furthermore, we found that the number of studies has been growing increasingly in recent years, with 10 of 24 studies published in 2020 and 2021 (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Also, in recent years, the articles have studied more diverse topics and have been more experimental.…”

“…Also, in recent years, the articles have studied more diverse topics and have been more experimental. Since most of the studies were conducted in Iran, only 21% of the studies were written in the English language (21,25,27,32,36). Among the reviewed studies, Rumi's metaphors and allegories have been employed more in cognitive approach (31,32,(36)(37)(38)(39)(40), mindfulness-based approach (21,26,28,29,33,41,42), and existential-humanistic approach (29%, 29%, and 25%, respectively) (25,35,(43)(44)(45)(46).…”

Context: Utilizing metaphors assists clients in gaining insight and effecting changes in their lives. Given that Rumi predominantly uses metaphors and allegories to convey profound thoughts, we have focused our attention on his works. This review aims to evaluate what is known from the research literature about the utilization of Rumi’s metaphors and allegories in the context of psychotherapy. Evidence Acquisition: The literature search was conducted in Scopus, PsychInfo, Proquest, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane databases in English, and SID and Google Scholar databases in Persian (until May 31, 2022). To identify relevant literature, the searched terms included Persian and English key terms: “Rumi,” “Psychology,” and “Psychotherapy.” The studies included in our review were those published in either English or Persian and specifically focused on therapeutic approaches. We excluded studies that had a religious, mystical, philosophical, or literary view of Rumi's thoughts. Results: Overall, 24 studies were included in this scoping review. Among the studies, Rumi's metaphors and allegories have been employed more in cognitive, mindfulness-based, and existential-humanistic approaches (29%, 29%, and 25%, respectively). Additionally, three studies developed an interventional package based on Rumi’s thoughts. We found that the number of studies using Rumi's ideas in psychotherapy approaches has been growing increasingly in recent years, with 10 of 24 studies published in 2020 and 2021. Conclusions: Although the small number of identified articles makes definitive conclusions challenging, they reveal that Rumi's metaphors and allegories have the potential to enhance clients' insight within diverse therapeutic approaches. It is suggested that the metaphors and allegories in Rumi's thoughts can be effectively utilized across a wide spectrum of cultural contexts.

Background: Cancer disease is considered one of the basic health problems in the world, which threatens the health of human life. It causes numerous personal, family and social damages in physical, psychological, and social dimensions. Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating health literacy and cognitive dysfunction on the quality of life of cancer survivors to make better decisions for the daily functioning, quality of life, and work capacity of cancer survivors so that their lives can be spent with more peace and less stress. Methods: With a descriptive correlational design, 350 cancer survivors of the Cancer Research Center of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (Shohaday Tajrish Hospital) from September to November 2021, who had been treated for at least one year, volunteered online and in person. Cognitive failure (Broadbent et al., 1982), cancer health literacy test (Dumenci et al., 2014), and quality of life of adults surviving cancer (Avis et al, 2005). Results: Pearson correlation showed a negative relationship between cognitive dysfunction and quality of life; so, path analysis showed that 25% of the quality of life is explained by cognitive dysfunction, but cancer health literacy was not correlated with the quality of life of cancer survivors. Conclusions: According to the findings, the optimization of cognitive functions after treatment was emphasized to increase the quality of life of cancer survivors.
