        The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management training on quality of life and happiness in M .S patients in Shiraz. The present study is a semi-experimental type. The statistical population of this study included all patients referring to the MS Society of Shiraz in 1397. Among them, 30 women were selected by available sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of the experimental and control group. The used scales included The quality of life questionnaire for patients with MS Ayatollahy (2006) and the Oxford happiness questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Covariate analysis). The results showed that the implementation of stress management training improves the quality of life(F=10.12, P<00.04) and happiness(F=118.84, P<0.01) in the experimental group compared to the control group. According to the results of the study, cognitive-behavioral stress management can improve the quality of life and happiness in these patients. Therefore, this training program can be used as an intervention program for the target group. Manuscript profile

        <p>One of the major challenges in modern societies caused by the industrial lifestyle is inefficient evaluations when facing challenges and tensions, leading to stress. Therefore, identifying stress-inducing factors in various diseases is clinically significant. This study aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive evaluation, self-compassion, and stress habits among women with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a cross-sectional applied study categorized as descriptive-correlational research. The participants consisted of 130 women with MS. Data analysis was performed using regression tests and SPSS software. Data were collected using the Self-Compassion Questionnaire, the standard Kooadrun stress measurement, and the Gross and John cognitive evaluation test. Variables such as stress habits, cognitive evaluation, and self-compassion significantly influenced the regression equation (p&le;0.01), explaining 43.5% of the variance in stress habits. The prediction of stress habits based on a lack of self-kindness showed a direct relationship with a beta coefficient of 0.637. Additionally, self-kindness was positively related to stress habits, while self-compassion showed a negative significant relationship at the 0.01 level. Cognitive evaluation and its dimensions were also significant at the 0.05 level. It is recommended to implement compassion-based therapies, emotional management training, mindfulness exercises, relaxation techniques, identification of negative automatic thoughts, replacement with positive thoughts, and social support networks effective in stress management and emotional regulation training in cognitive evaluations to control stress among people with MS.</p> Manuscript profile
