Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive group therapy (MBCT) on reducing suicidal thoughts and death anxiety of patients with cancer. Materials and Methods:This study was applied and semi-experimental conducted by using pre-test and post-test with a control group. The research community included all patients with cancer who referred to Shahid Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas. It contained 30 cancer patients who were selected through purposive sampling method and randomly placed in two experimental and control groups (15 individuals per group). The members of both groups completed Templer's death anxiety questionnaire and Beck's suicidal thoughts before and after the sessions of group therapy (within three months). Findings were analyzed by SPSS software and univariate covariance analysis (ANCOVA) test. Results:The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) training significantly reduced the suicidal thoughts and death anxiety in the experimental group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is essential that medical care and support forums related to refractory patients to reduce psychological symptoms in patients use mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in their treatment programs.

2 Purpose of reviewTo provide an overview of factors related to quality of life and symptoms of depression in heart failure patients and their partners. Furthermore, to give an overview of interventions that can be effective in improving their quality of life and decrease depressive symptoms. Recent findingsQuality of life of patients with heart failure and their partners is poor compared to their age-matched peers from the general population and also compared to patients suffering from other chronic diseases. Furthermore, a considerable amount of heart failure patients is depressed. Depressive symptoms of patients and of their partners seemed to be interrelated, making interventions complicated but needed.Although the number of studies that specifically target improvement of quality of life and depression in heart failure patients and their partners is still small, several interventions are known to improve quality of life and these could be implemented in daily care. SummaryThis review considers demographic and clinical factor that are related to quality of life and depressive symptoms and addresses interventions that can contribute to improvement of quality of life of heart failure patients and their partners and decrease depressive symptoms.Education on self-care management and physical exercise are important to include in a disease management program. A multidisciplinary care approach including optimizing medical therapy and optimal symptom management is advised, focusing both on the patient and the caregiver. Treatment and care should not only focus on heart failure, but also address the consequences of co-morbidities and consequences of symptoms and therapies.
