Abstract
Research indicates that children of parents with chronic pain might be at risk of a variety of psychological, social and academic difficulties therefore, the present study aimed to investigate academic health among adolescent daughters of mothers with musculoskeletal chronic pain. In this study a group of 44 daughters of mothers with chronic pain were compared to matched control group of daughters of healthy mothers in variables of academic health. The Study measure was Academic Health Self- Report Scales (AHS-SR), adapted from Healthy Pathways Child-Report Scales (HPC-RS, Bevans,et al, 2010). In order to analyze the data, a set of descriptive and inferential statistics including independent t-test, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were applied. Study results indicated that daughters of mothers with chronic pain exhibit lower levels of academic health in comparison with children in the control group and this suggests that having a mother in pain adversely impacts children’s academic function and suppress their capabilities. This study suggests that children of mothers with chronic pain might be at risk of poor academic health and lower educational functioning compared with children of healthy parents. It seems that family interventions or psycho-education would help child and mother to have a better understanding of chronic pain as a phenomenon and to apply coping strategies to prevent its interactional impacts.

Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of predicting the components of chronic pain based on insecure attachment style, mentalization and emotional regulation with a cross-sectional descriptive design and correlational method and the statistical population includes all patients with chronic pain who were referred the Yalda Clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran from April to August 2020. The research sample consisted of 339 people who were selected by available sampling method and answered the Chronic Pain, adult attachment, mentalization and difficulty in emotion regulation questionnaires. The effect of predictors of difficulties in emotion regulation, mentalization and insecure attachments on pain inability indicates a positive effect of difficulties in emotion regulation (β =0.52) and anxiety insecure attachment (β =0.30) at a significance level of less than 0.05 (Gives p-value (<0.001) and (p-value =0.001). In the study of pain intensity, difficulties in emotion regulation with (β =0.53) and avoidant insecure attachment with (β =0.13) with (p-value <0.001) and (p-value =0.01) indicates significance at the significance level less than 0.05 with a positive value of these two predictor variables. Using these findings, effective measures can be taken to improve and enhance the psychological health of patients with chronic pain.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop and introduce training package of chronic pain self-management interventions and evaluate its effects on improving pain self-management (PSM), mindfulness skills (MS), metacognitive beliefs (MB), and cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). The statistical population included all patients with CMP who were referred to Tehran hospitals between June 2020 and December 2021. Among these, 22 people (two experimental and control groups) of eligible individuals were selected by voluntary sampling method and examined during a quasi-experimental design. The experimental group underwent 8 online intervention sessions and were evaluated online by GSCS-7, PSMC-18, FFMQ-39, MCQ-30 and CERQ-18 during tree sessions (pre-test, post-test and follow-up). Data were analyzed by MANKOVA. According to the results, the overall effects of the self-management interventions were significant (p < 0.05). Also the interventions had a significant effects on improving PSM, increasing the use of MS, and improving CERS (p<0.05), however, the interventions had no significant effects on reducing dysfunctional MB (p < 0.05). Considering the evidence from this study, the authors believe that the use of chronic pain self-management interventions for people with CMP has significant clinical benefits, so its use is recommended to health care providers.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing metacognitive beliefs and pain catastrophizing between women with fibromyalgia syndrome, women with chronic pain and normal women. In this research, 40 people with fibromyalgia syndrome, 40 people with chronic pain and 40 normal people were selected from the women of Tehran. The participants completed two scales, the short form of the Wells Metacognition Questionnaire and the standard pain catastrophizing questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and post hoc tests in SPSS 26 software. The results of the one-way analysis of variance test show that the mean scores of the pain catastrophizing variable are higher in the fibromyalgia group than in the chronic pain group and are higher in the chronic pain group than in the normal group. The results of multivariate variance analysis of metacognitive beliefs show that, except for the variable of positive belief about worry, the average of metacognitive beliefs in fibromyalgia and chronic pain groups is higher than the normal group. According to the findings of this research, dealing with metacognitive beliefs and pain catastrophizing in the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia and chronic pain should be taken into account.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management training on anxiety, cognitive avoidance, and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic pain. This semi-experimental study used a pre-test-post-test design with follow-up and a control group. The statistical population consisted of patients with chronic pain in Tehran during the second half of 2023. Thirty patients were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in 10 sessions of cognitive-behavioral stress management training (Hajilu et al., 2018). To evaluate the impact of the intervention, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (1990), the Sexton and Dugas Cognitive Avoidance Scale (2004), and the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (2003) were administered at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that the intervention significantly reduced anxiety and cognitive avoidance while improving health-related quality of life (P<0.05). The results suggest that cognitive-behavioral stress management training can be an effective intervention for improving the mental health and quality of life of patients with chronic pain.
