“…Given that the statistical population consisted of soldiers with high stress [25], the periodicity of their study is not generalizable to other members of society. Narimani et al, in their study, showed that ACT in infertile women increases their quality of life, so the present study is consistent with the results of their research.…”

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome is the most common, costly, and disabling dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. Mental disorders can be one of the main factors in the onset, continuation, or exacerbation of gastrointestinal signs and symptoms in people with this syndrome. Commitment and acceptance therapy is a mixture of four approaches of awareness, acceptance, commitment, and behavior change, and its overall goal is to achieve psychological flexibility to move towards thought-based behavior. This treatment focuses less on reducing symptoms and more on improving the quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based therapy on the immune function and activity limitations in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental research with a pre-test, post-test design and a control group. Thirty patients with irritable bowel syndrome were randomly selected from those referred to a hospital clinic in Tabriz City, Iran. They were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups (15 in each group). The intervention group received acceptance and commitment group therapy for 8 sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Both groups were assessed before and after the intervention, and in the follow-up phase using the activity limitations subscale of quality of life questionnaires (to measure activity limitations) and stool calprotectin test to assess safety performance. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics indices (mean and standard deviation) and analysis of variance with repeated measures, Bonferroni test, and analysis of covariance to test the study hypotheses. Results: The Mean±SD age of the intervention group was 34.53±18.38 years, and the Mean±SD age of the control group was 42.80±17.97 years. The significance levels of Levene’s and the Shapiro-Wilk test for all variables were greater than 0.05. Based on the results, the Mean±SD score of the activity limitations variable in the intervention group was 7.53±4.24 in the pre-test, 17.66±3.41 in the post test, and 17.26±3.65 in the follow-up. According to the results, activity limitations (P=0.027) and safety performance (P=0.034) were significantly different before and after the intervention. Conclusion: The present study’s findings show that acceptance and commitment-based therapy can play an influential role in improving patients’ immune function and promoting their activity limitations. Therefore, this treatment is recommended as a complementary therapy in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

“…Computer-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy mainly aims to improve the patient's cognitive function (28,29). Cognitive rehabilitation therapy is based on the brain's neuroplasticity principles, including targeted exercises for enhancing various aspects of cognition, such as attention, memory, language, and executive functions (30). This computer-based instructional method corrects intrusive memory evaluations and encourages people to adopt a more positive (or negative) information processing style (29).…”

Background: People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from war have more severe symptoms when combined with other chronic disorders, worsening their condition. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation on the cognitive bias of veterans with PTSD. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with pretest, posttest, follow-up, and a control group. The statistical population included all the veterans under the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs coverage of Ahvaz, Iran, in 2021. After the necessary examinations, 45 eligible participants were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (15 participants per group) after the necessary coordination. The experimental groups separately received EMDR therapy and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation, whereas the control group received no intervention. Repeated measures ANOVA in SPSS-24 was used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that compared to the control group, EMDR and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation interventions significantly influenced the cognitive bias of veterans with PTSD (P < 0.001). Moreover, cognitive bias scores from the posttest and follow-up significantly differed from those from the pretest (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Since EMDR and computer-based cognitive rehabilitation improved cognitive bias in veterans with PTSD, these methods are recommended for improving their psychological characteristics.
