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.

Background: The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training on negative emotions with gastrointestinal disorders. Method: A quasi-experimental study was designed with pretest-posttest using a control group. The study sample consisted of 30 male patients (referred to internal experts and admitted to Abbasi Hospital of Miandoab in 2016) with gastrointestinal disorders (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, peptic ulcer, and duodenal ulcer) based on diagnostic criteria (ROME-III) who were selected by purposive sampling method. The patients were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. After performing the pretest using Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS), the experimental group received mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention during the eight sessions of one and a half hour, while the control group received no psychological intervention; and after the end of the sessions, the posttest was performed for both groups using the same tools. The collected data were analyzed through covariance analysis (ANCOV) by using SPSS-18 software. Results: The mean scores of negative emotions rates of experimental group significantly decreased after receiving the mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention (P
