This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on negative problem orientation, anxiety sensitivity, and self-compassion among patients with fibromyalgia. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The statistical population consisted of fibromyalgia patients attending pain clinics in Rasht city during 2024. Using purposive sampling, 36 participants were selected and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 18) or the control group (n = 18). The instruments utilized included the Negative Problem Orientation Questionnaire (NPOQ; Rubichad & Douglas, 2008), the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3; Taylor et al., 2007), and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS; Neff, 2003). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 90-minute CBT. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance. Results indicated that CBT significantly reduced negative problem orientation (F = 71.57), physical factor (F = 64.17), cognitive factor (F = 59.44), social factor (F = 82.43), and significantly increased self-compassion (F = 39.10) in fibromyalgia patients. The results of the present study indicated that CBT significantly reduced negative problem orientation and anxiety sensitivity, while increasing self-compassion in patients with fibromyalgia. These findings highlight the effectiveness of this approach in improving psychological components associated with chronic pain.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Metacognitive Therapy on aggression and emotional expression in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group. The research sample consisted of 45 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder that were divided into three groups: cognitive behavioral therapy, metacognitive therapy, and a control group. For the first experimental group, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy was implemented and for the second experimental group, Metacognitive Therapy was applied, and the control group did not receive any intervention during the research. The Aggression Questionnaire (AQ, Buus & Perry, 1992) and Emotional Expression Questionnaire (EEQ, King & Emmons, 1990) were used to collect data. The results of variance with repeated measures showed that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Metacognitive Therapy were effective in reducing aggression and improving emotional expression in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. (p<0.05). Based on the findings, the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Metacognitive Therapy is recommended to reduce aggression and improve emotional expression in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral education on psychological well-being and social and adaptive performance of children. The research design is a semi-experimental and pre-test-post-test with the control group. The statistical population in this research is all children of the boy aged 12 to 18 years old referring to the welfare authorities of Rasht city in the year 97-96. In this research, 50 children of work from the Guilan-sponsored institution were selected Then, for the experimental group 18 and the control group, 12 subjects who obtained lower scores in psychological well-being and social/adaptive performance were randomly selected and placed in two groups of experiments and control. The instruments used included the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale (RPWBS, Ryfff, 2002) and The Child and Adolescent Social and Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAF, Price et.al, 2002) in the pre and post educational phases. Cognitive and behavioral education was presented in 8 sessions for the experimental group, but the control group did not receive any training and then the follow up test was performed. The results of MANCOVA indicated that cognitive-behavioral education has a significant effect on improving social and adaptive performance and psychological well-being of children in labor (P<0/01). Therefore, cognitive and behavioral education can be used to promote the quality of life of child labor.
