Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, logo therapy, and schema therapy on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in patients with multiple sclerosis.Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The study population consisted of all members of the MS Society of Iran located in Tehran in 2019, and the sample consisted of 60 members of the Association who were selected using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group (15 people for each group). All four groups were tested by DASS-21 scale, and then the experimental groups underwent mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, logo therapy, and schema therapy in 12 Two-hour sessions for 12 weeks, but the control group did not receive any training. Analysis was performed using SPSS22 in two parts: descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The results of analysis showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has been effective on reducing stress (f= 110.90, P<0,001), anxiety (f= 88.92, P<0,001), and depression (f= 32.29, P<0,001) in patients with multiple sclerosis. Also it was shown that logo therapy was effective on stress (f= 264.60, P<0,001), anxiety (f= 175, P<0,001), and depression (f= 305.07, P<0,001), and schema therapy was effective on reducing stress (f=110.90, P<0,001), anxiety (f= 88.92, P<0,001), and depression (f= 32.29, P<0,001) in patients with multiple sclerosis. Also, the comparison of means showed that in the variables of stress, anxiety, and depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, logo therapy, and schema therapy were effective.Conclusions: The findings of this study confirmed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, logo therapy, and schema therapy were effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Objective: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and disabling disease. The purpose of the present research was to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management training on the resilience of patients with multiple sclerosis.
Method: This research was a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and follow-up, and a control group. The statistical population included female patients with MS referred to the Dr. Shahbigi Neurology Clinic in Tehran. The participants were 30 patients who were selected through purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to the two experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent ten sessions of stress management training based on the Cognitive Behavioral Model. Data were collected using the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale. Research data were analyzed using Mixed Repeated Measures ANOVA.
Results: The results revealed that cognitive-behavioral stress management training could significantly enhance the resilience of patients with MS.
Conclusion: Therefore, the use of cognitive-behavioral stress management training could be effective in improving the resilience of patients with MS.
