The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of online unified transdiagnostic treatment with an online developed intervention based on training of mindfulness, resilience and emotion regulation on positive and negative meta-emotion components in pregnant women with psychological distress. This study was a clinical trial with pretest, post-test and follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all pregnant women referring to health care centers in Boroujerd city. Forty-five pregnant women with psychological distress were randomly assigned to the intervention groups and one control group using the purposive sampling. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. The results showed that Both intervention approaches were effective in improving all components of meta-emotion (p <0.05) and only there was a statistically significant difference in the component of interest between the two treatment groups (P = 0.002). It seems that the results of this study can help health care providers to improve the mental health of pregnant women.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Effectiveness of compassion-based therapy on cognitive emotion regulation, shame and guilt-proneness and mindfulness components in patients with mixed anxiety- depression disorder. The present study was a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study included all patients with mixed anxiety- depression disorder in Isfahan. The sample size of the study consisted of 24 people with mixed anxiety- depression disorder, who were selected by purposeful sampling method. They were randomly divided into two groups experimental and control. They were evaluated with cognitive emotional regulation strategy scales, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and Self-Conscious Affect (TOSCA) Questionnaire. The experimental group received group compassion-based therapy intervention for 2 months (8 sessions of 90 minutes) while the control group received no training at all. The results of covariance analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the scores of cognitive emotional regulation strategy, shame-proneness and guilt-proneness and mindfulness skills in the experimental and control groups in the post-test. Experimental group, in comparison with the control group, received less scores in shame and guilt and more scores in Mindfulness skills. The results showed that group compassion-based therapy of cognitive emotion regulation strategies was effective. Based on the findings, compassion-based therapy can be used as a suitable treatment option to improve the Mindfulness skills, cognitive-emotional regulation, and preparation for the experience of shame and guilt of people with mixed anxiety- depression disorder.
