“…These scores were considered as pretest. We included 50 people (25 couples) in each group by using of G-power software with an effect size of 1.8, a test power of 0.90, and α=0.05 [14]. The couples were randomly divided into emotionally focused couple therapy (n=25) and control groups (n=25) using a simple random coin-throwing method.…”

Background: Employment of couples have a considerable effect on their marital life and may cause the couple not to respond to each other's needs in a timely manner. In these circumstances, depression and marital conflict is very likely. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of emotionally focused couple therapy (EFCT) on reducing depression and marital conflicts in employed couples in Ramhormoz-Iran. Methods: A randomized clinical trial study based on a pretest-posttest control group design was conducted. The study population consisted of all couples employed in government organizations of Ramhormoz-Iran. Based on the inclusion criteria, 50 couples (100 people) were selected as the sample and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent ten 90-minute sessions per week of emotionally focused couple therapy. The research instruments included the Beck's Depression Inventory and Marital Conflict Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. Results: The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the score of depression and marital conflicts. The mean (SD) of the post-intervention scores for depression and marital conflicts in the experimental group were 27.32 (4.17) and 116.72 (9.34) respectively. EFCT significantly reduced the mean score of depression and marital conflicts in the experimental group compared with the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: EFCT was effective in reducing depression and marital conflicts among employed couples. Therefore, EFCT workshops can effectively help employed couples mitigate emotional problems.

Background: The experience of anxiety as a bad experience creates a different behavioral, cognitive, and emotional response that preserves annoying thoughts and inefficient beliefs. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and spirituality therapy in reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer in Tehran. Methods: This was a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design research with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population comprised women with breast cancer visiting the Gynecological Ultra-Specialized Cancer Center of Khatam-al-Anbya Hospital in Tehran in 2021. In total, 45 women with breast cancer were selected and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group (n=15). The first and second experimental groups underwent eight 60-minute sessions of ACT and eight 60-minute sessions of spiritual therapy, respectively. The research instruments included the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). The collected data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The results showed that ACT and spiritual therapy significantly reduced generalized anxiety scores in the experimental groups compared to the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the absence of anxiety significantly increased in the two experimental groups that underwent ACT and spirituality therapy compared to the control group (P<0.01). However, ACT and spirituality therapy did not differ significantly in their effects on the dependent variables. Conclusion: This study achieved promising results concerning the applicability of ACT and spirituality therapy in reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer. Based on the results, holding ACT and spirituality therapy workshops may exert beneficial effects on reducing anxiety in women with breast cancer.

Background: Mothers often bear a heavy psychological burden in society because of their disabled children. As mothers often spend more time taking care of these children, they are exposed to different types of stress and mental disorders. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between lifestyle and attachment to God with depression with the mediating role of Quality of Life (QoL) in mothers of children with intellectual disabilities (IDs) in Tehran, Iran. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted using path analysis. The statistical population comprised all the mothers of children with IDs in Tehran, Iran in 2020. Among the study population, a total of 213 mothers were selected as the sample via convenience sampling. The research instruments included the Beck depression inventory-II (BDI-II), the attachment to God questionnaire, the lifestyle assessment inventory (LSI), and the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire-short form (WHOQoL-BREF). The proposed model was evaluated via structural equation modeling (SEM), and the indirect relationships were tested via bootstrapping. Results: The results showed a direct and significant relationship between attachment to God and QoL (β=0.40, P=0.001), and between lifestyle and QoL (β=0.31, P=0.001). There was a negative relationship between attachment to God and depression (β=-0.40, P=0.001), in addition to QoL and depression (β=-0.37, P=0.001). The results of the indirect path analysis showed the mediating role of QoL in the relationship between attachment to God and lifestyle with depression (P=0.001). Conclusion: The results confirmed the proposed model’s goodness of fit; therefore, this model can expand our understanding of the factors affecting depression in mothers of children with IDs to design preventive programs to mitigate their stress and depression.
