Hypertension is a common, chronic and relapsing disease which is indeed one of the major public health issues. In our study, we employed quasi-experimental research method.Total 30 patients were randomly divided into two groups; test (n= 15) and control group (n= 15). To collect the required information we gave some depression, anxiety and stress-related questionnaire to the members of both the groups to f ill up in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up phases. The test group received the treatment program in eight sessions of 90 minutes each. The results showed that there was a signif icant difference between levels of depression, and stress in two groups and mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy has signif icantly reduced depression and stress in patients within the test group. But no signif icant difference was observed for the component of anxiety. Thus the program could be referred as effective in reducing psychological consequences in patients with hypertension. AbstractIntroduction:
Stress management skill training was always been known toi be benif icial on depression, anxiety and stress. We applied the same in patients suffering from type-2 diabetes through quasi-experimental method following the pre and post test design method with a control group. Twenty diabetic patients (10 females, 10 males) were selected and randomly divide into two groups; test and control (n=12 each) Levels of depression, anxiety and stress were measured by using depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire (Dass-21) in the pre-test phases which was followed by the stress reduction skill training conducted in 10 different sessions only for the test group. At the end of re-interventions, levels of depression, anxiety and stress of patients were measured and the data were analyzed by using analysis of variance. Signif icant differences between levels of depression, anxiety and stress in two groups were found which was f inally reduced in the test group by the stress management skill training. Conclusively, stress management skill could be an appropriate treatment method for improving mood disorders, in patients suffering from type-2 diabetes. AbstractIntroduction:
