“…All aspects of mental health, including physical symptoms, social functioning, symptoms of anxiety and insomnia, and depression, showed significant differences at various stages, with mental health in the family being higher in the post-test and follow-up stages than in the pre-test. This result is consistent with the existing literature (Assumpcao et al, 2019;Azunny et al, 2020;Bao, 2022;da Silva et al, 2023;Hosein Esfand Zad et al, 2017;Kumar et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2021;Nejat et al, 2020;Rahmani, 2020;Sabouri & Mansouri, 2022;Sun et al, 2021;Torfiamidpoor et al, 2022;Vidic & Cherup, 2019;Vigil, 2022). The flexibility brought about by mindfulness therapy in patients with bipolar disorder enables the patient to establish friendly and emotional relationships with other family members and even with people outside the family environment.…”

The primary objective of the current research was to determine the effectiveness of positive-focused mindfulness therapy on mental well-being, quality of life, and stress coping strategies in women diagnosed with bipolar disorder in Kashan city. This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research with pre-test, post-test alongside a control group, and the research population included all women diagnosed with bipolar disorder attending psychiatric centers in Kashan. Initially, registration was carried out by contacting individuals who had records in these centers or were referred by specialists, and 30 of them, who met the study criteria, were selected. The sample was randomly divided into experimental and control groups, and the study was conducted on them. The positive-focused mindfulness therapy consisted of 12 sessions of 90 minutes of mindfulness training derived from the protocol by Tabatabai Nejad et al. (2018). Meanwhile, the control group did not receive any form of training. This research was concluded in March 2023. The instruments used in this study included the 26-item Quality of Life questionnaire (1996), the 45-item Mental Well-being questionnaire by Keyes and Magyar-Moe (2003), and the 18-item Life Stress questionnaire (1993). Variance analysis was employed to test the hypotheses in this study. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group in comparison to the control group in terms of quality of life, mental well-being, and stress coping strategies (P<0.01). The findings from this research indicate the impact of positive-focused mindfulness therapy in improving the quality of life, mental well-being, and stress in women with bipolar disorder. Therefore, positive-focused mindfulness therapy, alongside other therapeutic methods, can be effective in improving the psychological symptoms of women with bipolar disorder.

“…Importantly, the K10 does not differentiate between different types of psychological distress but instead provides a global measure. Its reliability and validity have been extensively confirmed in various studies, demonstrating high internal consistency (with Cronbach's alpha often exceeding 0.90) and strong construct validity through its correlations with other established measures of mental health (Kessler et al, 2003;Sabouri & Mansouri, 2022).…”

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a comprehensive Health Behavior Training Program in reducing psychological distress among adults. The program, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, stress management, and health education, sought to provide participants with effective tools to manage distress and improve overall well-being. A randomized controlled trial design was employed, involving 50 participants with mild to moderate psychological distress, randomly assigned to either the experimental group receiving the Health Behavior Training Program or a control group receiving no intervention. The intervention consisted of 8 weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Psychological distress was measured at baseline, post-intervention, and at a three-month follow-up using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). The experimental group exhibited a significant reduction in psychological distress scores from pre-test (Mean = 33.81, SD = 4.19) to post-test (Mean = 27.44, SD = 4.42) and maintained these improvements at the three-month follow-up (Mean = 27.39, SD = 4.37). In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes in distress scores over time. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements indicated significant effects of time (F(2) = 6.33, p < 0.01), group (F(1) = 7.10, p < 0.01), and their interaction (F(2) = 6.40, p < 0.01) on psychological distress scores, underscoring the effectiveness of the intervention. The Health Behavior Training Program significantly reduced psychological distress among participants compared to a control group, with sustained effects at a three-month follow-up. These findings support the implementation of multifaceted health behavior interventions as effective tools for managing psychological distress and enhancing mental health outcomes.

“…Moreover, the tDCS method alone was not able to have a significant impact on reducing rumination. In the research literature, no study was found that concurrently assessed the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program along with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in reducing stress and rumination; however, studies on the effectiveness of the mindfulnessbased stress reduction program (Ahmadi & Valizadeh, 2021;Altschuler et al, 2012;Campbell et al, 2012;Carmody & Baer, 2008;Dehghani et al, 2022;Eifert et al, 2009;Flugel Colle et al, 2010;Goldin et al, 2012;Habibi, 2019;Jafari & Shahabi, 2017;Keng et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2022;Lenze et al, 2014;McCallion, 2017;Mir Rajaee et al, 2017;Rahmani, 2020;Sabouri & Mansouri, 2022;Smith et al, 2015;Sofyan et al, 2023;Sun et al, 2021;Torfiamidpoor et al, 2022) and transcranial direct current stimulation (Aghaziarati et al, 2023;Brunoni et al, 2012;De Raedt et al, 2017;DosSantos et al, 2012;Ferrucci & Priori, 2014;Fregni et al, 2018;Fregni et al, 2008;Jacobson et al, 2012;Keshvari et al, 2017;Moslemi et al, 2019;Narimani et al, 2017;Nitsche et al, 2012;Quartarone et al, 2004;Vafaye Sisakht & Ramezani, 2017) have validated their effectiveness in improving stress and rumination separately. Additionally, no study...…”

Objective: Considering the necessity to identify effective interventions to improve stress and rumination in students, the current study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based stress reduction program with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on stress and rumination in adolescents with cancer. Methods and Materials: The research method was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test with a control group design. The research population included all adolescents with cancer at Mahak Hospital in Tehran, from which 40 individuals were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (1- Mindfulness-based stress reduction training; 2- Transcranial direct current stimulation intervention; 3- A combined method of mindfulness-based stress reduction with transcranial direct current stimulation) and one control group. The instruments for data collection included the Lovibond and Lovibond's (1995) Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale and the Ruminative Response Scale about an interpersonal upset (2008). For data analysis, one-way analysis of covariance, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the least significant difference post-hoc test were used. Findings: The results of the covariance analysis along with the post-hoc tests showed that there is no significant difference between the mindfulness-based stress reduction method and tDCS in reducing stress levels (P>0.05), and only the difference between these methods compared to the control group was significant (P<0.05). In terms of the effectiveness of the interventions under study on stress levels, the combined method was more effective than using each method separately. Regarding the rumination variable, there was no significant difference between the mindfulness-based stress reduction method and the tDCS method in reducing the level of rumination (P>0.05), and only the difference of this mindfulness method compared to the control group was significant (P<0.05). The results of the repeated measures analysis of variance along with the post-hoc tests indicated that there were no significant differences between the post-test and follow-up stages for stress and rumination variables (P>0.05); hence, the results were stable. Conclusion: Based on the results of the current study, counseling and psychology units established in hospitals and oncology clinics need to be more aware of the mental health of adolescents with cancer and should use the combined method of mindfulness-based stress reduction with tDCS to improve stress and rumination in adolescents with cancer.
