<span class="fontstyle0">Objective: </span><span class="fontstyle2">The present study aimed to examine whether the treatment of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in<br />adolescents via Attentional Bias Modification (ABM) improves their health-related quality of life.<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Method: </span><span class="fontstyle2">34 adolescents with IGD who were 12-17 years old were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 16) and<br />control (n = 18) groups. The experimental group received ABM, while no interventions were delivered to the control<br />group. Attentional bias, IGD severity, and health-related quality of life were assessed using Modified Stroop Task,<br />Internet Gaming Disorder-20 (IGD-20), and KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaires, respectively. Data from pre-test, posttest, and two months follow-up measurements were analyzed using two-way mixed measures ANOVA and Fisher’s<br />least significant difference (LSD) via SPSS software.<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Results: </span><span class="fontstyle2">ABM successfully reduced attentional bias and IGD severity and improved health-related quality of life in<br />adolescents of the experimental group (p < 0.05). These significant changes were observed at post-test and two months<br />follow-up. Meanwhile, no significant change occurred in the control group (p > 0.05).<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Conclusion: </span><span class="fontstyle2">It could be concluded that ABM not only reduces the severity of IGD in adolescents, but also improves<br />their health-related quality of life, although further research is required for the understanding of its mechanisms of<br />effects.</span> <br /><br />

<span class="fontstyle0">Objectives: </span><span class="fontstyle2">Diabetes is a chronic, multifaceted and threatening disease which has significant psychological<br />complications. The purpose of this study was comparing the efficacy of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)<br />and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training (DBT-ST) on cognitive emotion regulation in patients with type<br />II diabetes.<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Method: </span><span class="fontstyle2">The design of this quasi-experimental research was a pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical<br />population of the study included all patients with type II diabetes referred to Baghban (Touba) Medical Clinic in<br />Sari in 2019, among whom 45 patients were selected through the convenience sampling method and then randomly<br />assigned into three groups. The first group received ACT, the second group received DBT-ST, and the third group <br />was considered as a control group. Data were collected using a 36-item Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire<br />(Garnefsky et al., 2001) in three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, and were analyzed by repeated measurement<br />variance analysis.<br /></span><span class="fontstyle0">Results: </span><span class="fontstyle2">The results showed that ACT and DBT-ST were significantly more effective on cognitive emotion regulation<br />for the experimental groups compared to the control group (effect sizes 0.911 & 0.967, respectively).

Objective: Addiction is a physical-mental illness that, due to its progressive nature in all aspects of life, endangers the health of the individual, family and society. In order to prevent and resolve this destructive phenomenon, it is necessary to provide and implement comprehensive and appropriate programs in the rural area. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to determine the predictors of substance abuse of rural immigrant. <br />Method: The statistical population included all addicted prisoners who migrated from rural to urban areas. Using cluster sampling method, 360 people were selected as the study sample. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to analyze data. <br />Result:The results showed that only the quality of life component can predict the drug abuse of migrant rural men and women, while the components of access to facilities, rural management performance, and individual participation, as well as marital status, age and education cannot predict their substance abuse (p <0.05). Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, since the quality of life is a predictor of substance abuse in migrant villagers, and this problem, in fact, indicates the basic infrastructural problems in preventing the migration of villagers and their substances abuse, related planning and policies in the field of social health are suggested in this regard.
