Objective: Eating disorders are one of the most problematic psychological issues that are highly associated with mental health disorders such as anxiety and mood disorders, substance abuse disorders, and personality disorders.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the canonical analysis of relationships between coping strategies and parental bonding with eating disorders in students.
Methods: The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all female undergraduate students of Kosar University of Bojnord in the academic year 2019. The research sample consisted of 250 students who were selected by convenience sampling from all female students of Kosar University of Bojnord. To collect data, the eating attitude test (EAT-26, 1982), coping with stressful situation questionnaire (CISS, 1994), and parent bonding instrument (PBI, 1979) were used. The collected data were analyzed using canonical correlation.
Results: The Results showed that components of parental banding, care (0.43, 0.42, and 0.43), and overprotection (0.39, 0.29, and 0.22) were positively related to eating disorders subscales (P<0.01); additionally, from coping strategies’ components emotion-oriented (0.12, 0.14, and 0.14) and avoidance-oriented coping (0.24, 0.22, and 0.16) had positive significant relationship with eating disorders (P<0.05). Canonical correlation also indicated the predictive role of parental bonding on eating disorders (P<0.001).
Conclusion: It can be concluded that teaching adaptive coping strategies and parental involvement in treatment interventions can prevent and reduce eating disorders in students.

Objective: Diabetes is one of the most important metabolic diseases worldwide and has a worrying prevalence. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on adherence to medication and appropriate food consumption in patients with diabetes type 2.
Method: The research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control groups. The statistical population of this study consisted of all patients with diabetes admitted to the Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases Clinic in Tehran. The sample size was 30 who were divided into two Experimental (n=15) and control groups (n=15). Kelly Hayes (1994) and the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were provided to both groups as research instruments. The control group stayed on the waiting list and the mindfulness intervention training was performed for the experimental group in eight 90-minutes sessions. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: The results showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction training has significantly increased adherence to treatment and proper food consumption in patients with diabetes type 2 (p<0.05), and this increase has remained constant over time.
Conclusion: In order to adhere to the treatment and proper nutrition of patients with type 2 diabetes, stress-based mindfulness training can be used.

Objective: Drug addiction is one of the four worldwide crises of the third millennium, at the forefront of risks and societal ills, and one of the most severe challenges confronting today's societies, particularly ours. The purpose of this research was to assess the efficacy of mindfulness on drug craving, stress, and cortisol levels in Mashhad-based males who used crystal meth.
Method: Pre- and post-tests with a control group were the sort of quasi-experimental study used. The statistical population comprised all males who used crystal meth, which was sent to the Ofogh Rah-e Sabz addiction treatment clinics in Mashhad, from which 30 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups using convenience sampling methods (15 people in each group). They answered the Holmes and Rahe stress questionnaire in addition to the Somoza et al. cravings questionnaire. And their urine was examined to determine cortisol levels. The experimental group got eight sessions of mindfulness treatment, whereas the control group received no treatment. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to examine the research data.
Results: The findings indicated that mindfulness lowered cravings, stress and cortisol levels (p<0/001).
Conclusion: According to the results, mindfulness-based interventions may be utilized with medical therapy for methamphetamine addicts.
