Introduction: Mothers with a cerebral palsy child use inefficient cognitive-emotional regulation strategies during the life they spend with a cerebral palsy child. In recent decades, widespread attention has been paid to the use of cognitive interventions to reduce the psychological problems of mothers with cerebral palsy children; therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of rational-emotional behavior therapy training on cognitive-emotional regulation strategies of mothers with a cerebral palsy child in the city of Tabriz in 2014. Materials and Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental (pre-test-post-test with a control group) study. The statistical population included all mothers with a cerebral palsy child under the age of 12 years old in Tabriz in 2014, of whom 30 of were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to one of the experimental and control groups (15 individuals for each group). The groups completed Garnefski's Cognitive-Emotive Regulation Questionnaire (2001) for pre-test and post-test. Eight 90-minute sessions of rational-emotional behavioral therapy were performed on the experimental group, while the control group did not receive intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate covariance analysis. Results: The results showed that rational-emotional behavior therapy had a significant effect on positive and negative cognitive-emotional regulation strategies in mothers with a cerebral palsy child (p= 0. 001). Conclusion: Given that rational-emotional behavioral therapy affects the adaptive and non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation strategies of mothers with a cerebral palsy child, teaching this approach is recommended as an effective interventional method to increase the use of effective strategies and reduce the dysfunctional cognitive emotional regulation strategies by mothers with a cerebral palsy child.

Introduction: Heart diseases are among the major health problems in the world, whose complications lead to disability reduced participation in one's life. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the aspects of life in which the patient participates weakly. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the participation and autonomy of cardiovascular patients with positive angiography results. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 202 patients with positive angiography results in Rafsanjan in 2017. The Impact on Participation and Autonomy Scale-Persian (IPA-p) questionnaire was used to assess participation and autonomy in the patients. Independent two-sample t-tests, Pearson’ s correlation coefficients, one-way ANOVAs, and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the data. Results: The patients' mean score for participation was used to measure the total participation score for the questionnaire. The mean and standard deviation of the scores for participation in the questionnaire was 3. 09 ± 0. 66. The highest score for participation was related to social relations domain (3. 63 ± 0. 67), and the lowest score was obtained for Leisure domain (2. 50 ± 1. 00). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the mean score for participation in females was lower than in males (B =-0. 419, p = 0. 036). Also, the mean score for participation in patients with a diploma and higher degrees was higher than illiterate patients (B = 0. 262, p = 0. 040). Furthermore, the variables explained 21. 2% of the changes in the score for participation. Conclusion: The results showed that patients in more than half of the domain of the IPA questionnaire had a participation level of less than 60% (a score 3 out of 5), and the Leisure domain was the weakest of all. Therefore, it is suggested that plans be developed to strengthen these domains.
