“…in other words, individuals with psychological flexibility adopt more appropriate and adaptive emotional regulation strategies (9). Emotional regulation refers to strategies that can influence the degree and duration of the increase in emotions, their duration, and experience and expression of these emotions (10). Moreover, emotional regulation refers to the process by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express their feelings.…”

Background: Patients with spinal cord injuries suffer from some psychological problems, such as inadequate emotional regulation and flexibility for adapting to the post-injury condition. In this regard, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) can improve psychological flexibility and emotional regulation. Objectives: The main goal of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of ACT in improving psychological flexibility and emotional regulation in patients with spinal cord injuries. Methods: This quasi-experimental design study was based on a pretest-posttest method with a control group. The study population consisted of all patients with spinal cord injury referred to Jalaeipour Rehabilitation Center in Tehran. The study sample included 30 patients with spinal cord injury selected by the purposive sampling method. The inclusion criteria were patients aged 20 to 55 years, residing in Tehran, and with at least a high school diploma. The injury duration varied between one and five years, and the injuries were thoracic and lumbar injuries and an intermediate score of psychological flexibility and emotion regulation. The exclusion criteria were patients with cervical spinal cord injuries, as well as patients who were simultaneously receiving another psychological treatment together with the subjects who suffered from brain damage. Patients were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups based on random numbers. There were 15 patients in each group. The intervention group received ACT during eight sessions (1.5-hour group therapy) held once a week at Jalaeipour Rehabilitation Center in Tehran (2018), while the control group received routine care. Dennis and Vander Wal’s cognitive flexibility inventory (CFI) and Gross and John’s emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ) were completed before and one week after the intervention. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: There was a significant difference in demographic indicators between the two groups. Based on MANCOVA with the baseline score, the mean scores of psychological flexibility and emotion regulation had a significant difference regarding the results of ACT between the experimental and control groups (P < 0.05). Conclusions: According to the findings, ACT can improve psychological flexibility and emotional regulation in patients with spinal cord injuries.

“…Future research should focus on examining the factor structure of this construct so that relevant and appropriate interventions can be developed accordingly. Despite the importance of disability acceptance in psychosocial adaptation to disability, most acceptance-related interventions are based on acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectic behavior therapy (e.g., Mosher et al, 2018; Rahbar Karbasdehi et al, 2021), which may be difficult to integrate into traditional rehabilitation services. Thus, it is important for rehabilitation researchers and practitioners to pay attention to disability acceptance and develop strategies to integrate this factor into daily rehabilitation practices.…”

Disability acceptance is one of the most significant constructs in the psychosocial adaptation process. Although prior research has examined the relationship among different biopsychosocial factors, disability acceptance, and quality of life (QoL), limited study focused on entering a series of biopsychosocial factors simultaneously into analysis to reflect live experience of individuals with disabilities. This study aimed to examine the role of acceptance regarding the relationship between a series of biopsychosocial factors (i.e., general health, physical functioning, pain, anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, stigma, sense of community, and neighborhood problems) and QoL based on Livneh’s psychosocial adaptation model to inform psychosocial interventions. A total of 430 participants with disabilities completed an online survey consisting of instruments measuring target variables. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated a three-factor structure for selected biopsychosocial factors (i.e., psychological difficulties, physical status, and community issues). Structural equation modeling results showed that the proposed model indicated a fair model fit after respecification. Effect analyses showed that disability acceptance directly affected QoL and partially mediated the relationship between physical status and QoL and psychological difficulties and QoL. In addition, loneliness has been found to significantly and directly predict QoL in the respecified model. The model demonstrated that disability acceptance and loneliness have a significant impact on QoL.

“…Researchers suggest that allowing mothers to talk about their past experiences, in their original families and treating them could help these mothers come to terms with their past experiences and, on the other hand, lead to a better understanding of their emotional relationships with their children (Schoppe-Sullivan et al, 2007). According to Rahbar Kouhi, Abolghasemi, and Rahbarkouhi (2020), schema therapy addresses the deepest level of cognition, targeting early maladaptive schemas and assisting patients in overcoming these schemas using cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal strategies (Rahbar Karbasdehi et al, 2020). According to research by Askari et al (2017), schema therapy for mothers is effective in reducing children's behavioral problems (Askari et al, 2017).…”

Objective: Social anxiety disorder is among the most common disorders during childhood and adolescence. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of short-term intensive dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) and schema therapy for mothers on social anxiety in children aged 5 to 6 years in Shahin Shahr. Methods and Materials: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design, including a control group. The research population consisted of all mothers of children aged 5 to 6 years with social anxiety in Shahin Shahr in 2023, from which 45 individuals were purposively selected based on scoring two standard deviations above the mean on the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (Parent Version) and other entry criteria of the study, and were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (each containing 15 individuals). One experimental group received 10 weekly sessions of 90 minutes of schema therapy, while the second experimental group underwent 10 weekly sessions of 90 minutes of short-term intensive dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP). The control group did not receive any intervention. The research tool was the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (Parent Version, 1999), completed by the mothers at three stages: pre-test, post-test, and a 3-month follow-up. The obtained data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA, mixed-design ANOVA, and Bonferroni post-hoc tests with SPSS software version 24. Findings: The results showed that both treatments were effective in improving children's social anxiety (P<0.01), but the effectiveness of schema therapy for mothers on improving children's social anxiety was greater (P<0.01), and the effectiveness of both treatments was sustained until the end of the follow-up period. Conclusion: Both treatment methods, especially schema therapy for mothers, are effective in improving social anxiety in children and can be utilized.
