Abstract
Aims and background: The aim of the present study was determination and fitting of emotional regulation strategies model on the basis of attachment dimensions in patients with rheumatic arthritis. Materials and methods: This research is descriptive and correlation. The study statistical population included all the patients with rheumatic arthritis referred to Imam Khomeini hospital and clinics related to health of Tehran who overall, 300 patients were selected through available sampling based on specialist diagnosis. The instrumentals of this study were attachment dimension scale, cope scale, social self-efficacy scale, dysfunctional reactions questionnaire and distress disclosure index who participants completed. Data were analyzed using AMOS software and structural equation modeling. Findings: The results showed the direct and positive effect of attachment anxiety on non-adaptive strategies of over-activation, the direct and negative effect of attachment anxiety on inactive adaptation strategies and the direct and negative effect of attachment anxiety on adaptive strategies. Also, the direct and positive effect of attachment avoidance on inactive adaptation strategies, the direct and negative effect of attachment avoidance on non-adaptive strategies of over-activation and the direct and negative effect of attachment avoidance on adaptive strategies was shown. Other results showed the indirect and negative effect of attachment anxiety through social self-efficacy on nonadaptive strategies of over-activation, the indirect and positive effect of attachment anxiety through social self-efficacy on adaptive strategies, the indirect and negative effect of attachment anxiety through cognitive capacity of unwanted thoughts suppression on inactive adaptation strategies, the indirect and negative effect of attachment avoidance through self- disclosure on inactive adaptation strategies, the indirect and positive effect of attachment avoidance through self- disclosure on non-adaptive strategies of over-activation and the indirect and negative effect of attachment avoidance through cognitive capacity of unwanted thoughts suppression on non-adaptive strategies of over-activation. Conclusion: According to the findings, it is an important requirement to pay attention to use some therapies on the basis of effective variables on emotion regulation strategies.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Patients use various consciousness and unconsciousness mechanisms to deal with pain. the relationship between mature, immature and neurotic defense mechanism with adaptive and non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies was investigated.
Materials and Methods: In this correlative study, 200 patients with chronic pain participants in this study from Akhtar and Labafi Nejad hospitals. Participants completed the Defensive Styles Questionnaire (DSQ) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation strategies- Short Form Questionnaire (CERQ-Short). A stepwise regression was used to analyze of findings.
Results: Regression analysis showed a significant positive correlation between immature and neurotic defense mechanism with non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies and there is a significant negative correlation with adaptive strategies of cognitive-emotional regulation. In addition, there is no significant relationship between mature defense mechanisms with adaptive and non-adaptive cognitive-emotional regulation strategies.
Conclusion: Using immature and neurotic defense mechanism in patients with chronic pain, predicting less adaptive strategies and more non-adaptive emotional regulation strategies. Therefore, in order to motive patients to apply adaptive strategies for pain management, it is necessary to overcome unconscious processes.

Abstract
Aims and background: Arthritis is a chronic and debilitating inflammatory disease, the main symptoms of
which are arthritis, including morning dryness, swelling of the affected joints, and eventually joint deformity, and
are associated with some psychological variables. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate
the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies-based therapy on pain anxiety in patients with arthritic thyroid
disease.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental research with pre-test and post-test with
control group and follow-up period. The statistical population of the study consisted of all patients with arthritic
rheumatoid arthritis who referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran and private rheumatology clinics in
Tehran within 95-96. The population was 1800. Sample size consisted of 40 patients with arthritic thyroid disease
who were selected by purposive sampling method and were randomly divided into experimental (n = 20) and
control (n = 20) groups. Research instruments included pain anxiety scale that participants completed in pre-test,
post-test and follow-up. Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the
data.
Results: The results showed that model-based treatment of emotional adjustment strategies was effective in
reducing pain anxiety in patients.
Conclusion: Applying psychological therapies could help to reduce the pain anxiety of patients with arthritis.
