Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 278 caregivers of psychiatric patients referred to Farshchian (Sina) Educational Center of Hamadan in 1977 were selected using convenience sampling method. Data were collected using three questionnaires: demographic, stigma assessment, family functioning assessment tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software. Results: The mean and standard deviation of stigma and general family functioning were 72. 9 ± 14. 12 and 2. 20 ± 0. 26, respectively. There was a significant relationship (P < 0. 05) between stigma and general functioning as well as the domains of affective fusion, emotional responsiveness, and behavioral control from the Family Functioning Questionnaire (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: Given the relationship between stigma and family functioning of psychiatric patients, community education at different levels on appropriate treatment of these patients and their families through the media, health centers, and universities is recommended.

Methods: The present study was a Quasiexperimental design with pretest-posttest and follow-up with control group. The study population consisted of hemodialysis patients in Zanjan in 1397. 20 patients were selected using Purposive sampling and were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10). Patients in the experimental group received mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in 8 sessions during the two months and the control group did not receive any treatment.

Results: The results showed that the correlation between the subscales of the initial maladaptive schemas and the marital satisfaction components was significant, and the differentiation variable had a significant relationship with the components of marital satisfaction (P <0. 01). The stepwise regression findings also indicated that the variables of the maladaptive schemas in the regression model were about 36. 6% of the variance of marital satisfaction variable and the variables of their differentiation in the proposed model were about 1. 8% of variance of marital satisfaction variable Explaining. Conclusions: According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that by controlling the early maladaptive schemas and increasing the differentiation of women with incompatibility and low marital satisfaction, there can be significant effects on marital satisfaction and decreasing tendency toward divorce.
