Abstract
Objective: Diabetes is a chronic disease that causes severe side effects in patients. According to the previous studies, the incidence of depression and anxiety is higher among patients with diabetes type 2. The present study was conducted with the aim of examining the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction program and conscious yoga on depression, anxiety and stress in patients with diabetes type 2.
Materials and Methods: The study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test, control group and a 2-month follow-up. 24 patients among patients with diabetes who referred to Imam Hossein hospital were selected in an available way and were randomly assigned into experimental (n1=12) and control groups (n2=12). The level of quality of life was measured using Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-36) in pre-test. Then, participants of the experimental group received group mindfulness-based stress reduction program and conscious yoga for 8 sessions. After completing the interventions, patients' quality of life level was measured again and data were analyzed using multivariate repeated measurement model.
Results: Findings showed there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of the quality of life level and mindfulness-based stress reduction program significantly increases the quality of life in the participants of the experimental group.
Conclusion: The result of this study suggests that mindfulness-based stress reduction program can be an appropriate therapeutic method for improving quality of life in patients with diabetes type 2.

Abstract
Objective: Diabetes is a common chronic disorder in which there is a high risk of physical complications and psychological problems such as hypoglycemia and inability to express emotions. Psychological interventions can be effective in this regard. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training on emotional expressiveness and fear of hypoglycemia (FOH) in patients with type 2 diabetes visiting Yazd Diabetes Center.
Materials and Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design. The statistical population was all patients with type 2 diabetes visiting Yazd Diabetes Center in 2020. Forty men and women were selected using purposeful sampling and were randomly allocated to case and control groups. The case group received 8 sessions of MBSR training, 2 hours each and the control group received no interventions. Emotional Expressiveness Questionnaire (EEQ) and the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS) were used to collect data.
Results: Results of ANCOVA showed that MBSR training significantly increases emotional expressiveness and its components (P-value< 0.0001) and decreases the fear of hypoglycemia (P-value< 0.0001) in patients with type 2 diabetes (P-value< 0.035).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, MBSR training could improve emotional expressiveness, prevent hypoglycemia and reduce the fear of it.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), self-efficacy of diabetes management, and adherence to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a semi-experimental study with a control group. The research samples included 30 patients with type 2 diabetes. Data collection tools in this study included the Boyer & Earp quality of life (QOL) scale for patients with diabetes (D-39), the diabetes management self-efficacy scale (DMSES), and treatment adherence questionnaire in patients with chronic diseases. The CBSM therapy was performed in 8 sessions for the experimental group. To analyze the data, a univariate analysis of covariance was used with SPSS-23 software.
Results: The results showed that the CBSM had a significant effect on the overall health-based QOL (F=8.620; P=0.007), diabetes management self-ffficacy (F=12.021; P=0.002), and treatment adherence (F=83.253; P=0.0001). In addition, the CBSM has a significant effect on diabetes control (F=8.932; P=0.007), anxiety and worry (F=5.023; P=0.035), and sexual functioning (F=7.611; P=0.011), diet (F=10.041; P=0.004), therapeutic regimen (F=24.250; P=0.0001), making effort for treatment (F=22.987; P=0.0001), intention to take the treatment (F=108.001; P=0.0001), adaptability (F=28.704; P=0.0001), and integrating illness into life (F=38.263; P=0.0001).
Conclusion: The CBSM intervention can be used to improve health-based QOL, diabetes management self-efficacy, and treatment adherence in type 2 diabetes patients.
