AbstractIntroduction and Objectives: Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and the use of quarantine to prevent it have increased psychological reactions like depression, anxiety and stress in the general population. Hence, the need to identify variables that can affect these psychological reactions is felt more than ever. The aim of this study was to predict the rate of depression, stress and anxiety during quarantine based on psychological flexibility, dysfunctional attitude and coping styles.MethodThe research design was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population included all students who were active in the social media. A total of 501 students accessed the call for completion of questionnaires on online media, including Instagram, completed prepared questionnaires in the Google Form format.Measures included the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Questionnaire (DASS-21, 1995), the Revised Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS-26, 1978), the Acceptance and Practice Questionnaire (AAQ-II, 2005), and the Lazarus and Folkman Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ, 1984).ResultsPsychological inflexibility, dysfunctional attitudes, and maladaptive coping strategies predicted depression, anxiety, and stress in a positive way, but problem-oriented coping strategies only showed an inverse relationship with depression. In regression analyzes, the variable of psychological inflexibility had the greatest effect on explaining depression, anxiety and stress.Discussion and ConclusionIt can be concluded that teaching psychological flexibility and cognitive reconstruction can be useful in reducing depression, anxiety, and stress during the quarantine. Teaching problem-solving strategies can also have positive effects on reducing depression.

Introduction: The present study aims to determine theeffectiveness of the Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)model on relapse prevention and enhancement of coping skills inpeople with opiate substance dependency. Method: In a semi-experimental study and using cluster randomsampling method, 24 subjects were selected from among people withdiagnosis of opiate dependency who were successfully detoxified.They were assigned into experimental and control groups, eachconsisting of 12 people. The experimental group received 8 weeklysessions of MBRP training, and no treatment was given to the controlgroup. The subjects were assessed by Alcohol Abuse CopingResponse Inventory (AACRI) and morphine tests before treatment,randomly during treatment, after treatment, and after a 3-monthfollow-up stage. The data was analyzed using2test, MultivariateAnalysis of Covariance (MANCOVA), and covariance analysis(ANCOVA).Results: The2 test results showed that there was a significantdifference between experimental and control groups in terms ofrelapse rate. Moreover, the results of MANCOVA and ANCOVAwere indicative of a significant difference between the two groups incoping skills enhancement at posttest and follow up stages. Findings: The results indicated that the MBRP model training waseffective in relapse prevention and coping skills enhancement inpeople with opiate substance dependency.
