“…The result about metacognition is in agreement with previous results (Castro Muñoz et al, 2021;Lenzo et al, 2020;Nameni et al, 2017;Palmieri et al, 2021;Cinar & Schou, 2014) and the result about emotion regulation training is in agreement with that of other studies (Miller et al, 2018;Morawetz et al, 2020;Pachón-Basallo et al, 2021;Steward et al, 2019;Gomez & Perez, 2020;Isasi et al, 2013;Ferrer & Mendez, 2018;Babaei et al, 2021).

“…The study of Keng (26) also found that mindfulness was accompanied by growth in hope and optimism, and generally improved psychological well-being of individuals in clinical settings such as a hospital and nonclinical settings such as educational centers. Nameni et al in a study on the effectiveness of teaching meta-cognitive methods on nursing life style showed that attention and mindfulness education has been effective on lifestyle of employed and married nurses, by contributing significant changes in health and promoting lifestyle to their mental and physical health (3). Ghashgaee et al also revealed that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is effective in improving the quality of life and physical and mental dimensions of patients (27).…”
