Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on cognitive fusion and physical  Health Indicators in essential  hypertensive patients. This study was a semi-experimental study with a pretest, post-test and follow-up. Subjects were first screened using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. therefore, 26 hypertensive patients who referred to the Valiasr Hospital in Rasht city were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (13 patients in each group). The ACT group were treated in  8 sessions, while the control group did not receive any treatment. Results showed that there were significant differences between two groups in cognitive fusion and physical Health Indicators. So, ACT is an effective intervention in essential hypertensive patients.

Abstract
The present research aims to formulate a structural model of teacher job burnout based on cognitive distortions and Rumination, with the mediating roles of  Negative Automatic Thoughts and cognitive fusion. This study falls within the realm of descriptive research and structural equation modeling. The study's population included all middle school teachers in the city of Kamyaran during the academic year 2022-2023, with 323 individuals selected through the available sampling method. Data were collected using the Hollon & Kendall automatic thoughts Questionnaire, the Gillanders Et al Standard Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire, the Maslach & Jackson Burnout Questionnaire, the Nolen-Hoeksema Et al Rumination Questionnaire, and the Abdollahzadeh & Salar Cognitive Distortions Questionnaire. The findings of this research indicate that the structural model of teacher job burnout, based on cognitive distortions and Rumination, with the mediating roles of Negative Automatic Thoughts and cognitive fusion, has a good fit. The standardized path coefficients of the direct paths of the model from Rumination (t = 2.38), cognitive distortions (t = 3.72), cognitive fusion (t = 2.34), and Negative Automatic Thoughts (t = 2.21) to teacher job burnout were significant. Bootstrap test results showed that the indirect effect of Rumination on job burnout with the mediating role of cognitive fusion is significant (β = 0.082). The indirect effect of Rumination on job burnout with the mediating role of  Negative Automatic Thoughts is significant (β = 0.110). Similarly, the indirect effect of cognitive distortions on job burnout with the mediating role of cognitive fusion is significant (β = 0.085). The indirect effect of cognitive distortions on job burnout with the mediating role of Negative Automatic Thoughts is also significant (β = 0.061). Based on the results of this research, it seems that improving and changing cognitive distortions and Rumination provide a foundation for changing Negative Automatic Thoughts and cognitive fusion, ultimately reducing the level of teacher job burnout.

Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) in reducing cognitive fusion and interpersonal needs among students experiencing suicidal ideation. Employing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments, participants were selected based on predefined criteria and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group received MBCT sessions, and data were analyzed using covariance analysis (ANCOVA). Results demonstrated that MBCT significantly decreased overall cognitive fusion, particularly the fusion component, and significantly reduced total scores of interpersonal needs, including perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Additionally, a significant reduction in the severity of suicidal thoughts was observed in the intervention group compared to controls, whereas changes in cognitive defusion were not statistically significant. Follow-up data indicated that the positive effects of the intervention were maintained to a satisfactory degree over time. These findings support the clinical utility of MBCT as an effective intervention to improve maladaptive cognitive and interpersonal processes associated with psychological vulnerability in at-risk students. The study underscores the potential of MBCT in suicide prevention and mental health promotion, and recommends further research with larger samples and integrative interventions to explore underlying mechanisms and long-term efficacy.

Volume 13, Issue 4 (3-2026)
Abstract

Aim of the study was to develop a model of the relationship between wellbeing, cognitive fusion, and cognitive flexibility, with selfcontrol as a mediating variable. Research was correlational type, included 383 students selected through a multistage cluster sampling method. questionnaires were the Mindfulness Questionnaire, cognitive fusion, psychological flexibility, selfcontrol. The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation& structural equation modeling

The findings indicated relationship between mental wellbeing and its dimensions, cognitive flexibility, mediated by selfcontrol. Mental wellbeing through selfcontrol is related to cognitive fusion, and selfcontrol acts as a full mediator. Emotional wellbeing has relationship with cognitive fusion, and selfcontrol plays a full mediating role between social wellbeing, psychological well-being, and cognitive fusion

In conclusion, selfcontrol plays an important role in mental wellbeing, cognitive fusion, and cognitive flexibility among adolescents. Therefore, it is possible to support adolescents’ wellbeing, cognitive fusion, and cognitive flexibility through their selfcontrol
