“…Suffering from a chronic disease is a constant and progressive experience and consists of a complicated communication with caregiver and surroundings for the patient. [ 17 ] Hemodialysis and related factors are stressful for caregiver and family, and a caregiver who previously lived independently and is currently seeing a patient dependent on hemodialysis is highly predisposed to mental- and adaptation-related difficulties. These make the caregiver and patient have a feeling of wandering between the death and life and experience certain challenges such as permanent stress, loss, anxiety, depression, anger, and incompatibility.…”

Background:Although dialysis treatment is considered as a life-saving treatment for chronic renal failure patients, the caregivers face challenges in caretaking of these patients.Objectives:This study is aimed to explain the perspectives and experiences among caregivers of the patients undergoing hemodialysis in Iran.Methods:A qualitative design, based on a thematic analysis approach, was used to reach the study aim. In this study, 25 hemodialysis family caregivers were selected by purposeful sampling. The data were gathered through in-depth and unstructured interview and field observation and analyzed by the inductive thematic approach.Results:The three main themes were generated from the analysis of the data indicating that the caregivers face challenges such as heavy burden of care, tension in care, and emotional exhaustion.Conclusion:Caretaking of the hemodialysis patients is constantly accompanied with challenges and concerns regarding the effective care for patients. Health-care providers need to address these concerns based on both patient- and caregiver-focused approaches, rather than only patient focused, to the design and planning for helping the patients and their caregivers.

“…In an experimental study, investigators used the Fordyce Happiness model to reduce depression, stress, anxiety, and fatigue in MS patients. The focus of this model is increasing optimistic thinking and evaluating happiness in the present life, while lowering unrealistic expectations (Khayeri, Rabiei, Shamsalinia, & Masoudi, 2016). A goodness‐of‐fit model, which focused on using different approaches for controllable and uncontrollable life stressors, has also been examined in MS patients.…”

ObjectivesMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive disease that causes stress due to its unpredictability and lack of definitive treatments. This study examined the effects of an educational program using a transactional model to help women with MS cope with their disease.Materials and MethodsIn a randomized clinical trial, 80 female patients from the MS Society of Iran were randomized to the intervention (n = 40) or a control group (n = 40). Outcomes were assessed using Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS), which were completed by both groups at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months after the intervention. The intervention consisted of six educational sessions administered over 2 months based on a transactional model. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA.ResultsAverage PSS scores decreased significantly over time in the intervention group, while increasing in the control group. Between‐group differences were significant at both 1‐month and 3‐month follow‐up (p < .001). Both problem‐focused and emotion‐focused coping styles improved over time in use and effectiveness in the intervention group, whereas little or no change occurred in these coping behaviors in the control group.ConclusionThe transactional model‐based education program tested here was successful in reducing stress levels and increasing healthy coping styles in women with MS. If these findings are replicated in future studies, widespread adoption of this program may help women with MS cope more successfully with their disease.

“…In 2001, the National MS Association announced that more than 1.2 million people worldwide are affected by this disease. Nowadays, the number of MS patients is increasing such that this disease is considered the third major cause of disability in the United States and nearly 50 000 people have MS in Iran (3). In Sistan and Baluchestan, its minimum prevalence rate is six per 100 000 population.…”

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disabling neurological disorder, which in addition to neuro-motor disorders, accompanies a variety of symptoms, such as anxiety, asthenia, and reduced levels of problem-solving, and leads to a number of physical and mental disorders. This is while rumination is among psychological problems that can negatively affect MS patients' mental health. Rumination is known as a permanent engagement in a thought or an issue and is categorized as a conscious thought focused on a specific topic. Objectives: This study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction group therapy in rumination among MS patients Methods: This quasi-experimental study was followed by a pretest, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group. The current study had a statistical population including all patients with MS, who referred to Sistan and Baluchestan MS Community from December 2016 to February 2017. Among them, 30 patients were selected as the sample using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to a control group and an experimental group (each including 15 patients). Eight 60-minute sessions of mindfulness-based stress reduction group therapy were conducted on the experimental group. A post-test was carried out after completing all sessions and a follow-up was performed a month later. Yousefi rumination scale was used as the data collection tool. An analysis of covariance was applied to analyze the obtained data. Results: The results indicated that mindfulness-based stress reduction group therapy reduced rumination in patients with MS in the post-test and follow-up (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Authorities are recommended to apply the mindfulness-based stress reduction group therapy to improve rumination among patients with chronic diseases.
