MeasureTime frame
Emotion control includes controlling anger, depression, anxiety, and positive emotions. Timepoint: Measurement periods at the beginning and before the intervention, immediately after the intervention and 2 months after the last intervention session. Method of measurement: The McCracken Pain Acceptance Scale and the Williams and Chambles Emotion Control Scale will be used to collect data. The McCracken & Wools Pain Acceptance Scale has two components: tendency to accept pain and active participation, and has a total of 20 items, 9 of which are related to the component of tendency to accept pain (items 4, 7, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17 , 18 and 20) and its 11 items are related to the active participation component (items 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15 and 19). Scoring is done on a Likert scale of 7 degrees. This scale has well shown a good internal consistency with alpha of 0.82 for the pain acceptance component and 0.78 for the active participation component. The results of factor analysis in the study of McCracken, McLeod and Ecclestone, (2008), confirmed the existence of two factors: the tendency to accept pain and active participation, and the validity of this scale has also been confirmed. In Iran, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this scale has been reported in research 0.87. Emotion Control Scale: This scale has 42 questions made by Williams and Chambers and its purpose is to evaluate the ability to control emotions from the basics of the 15th Amendment. Emotions have a valid internal consistency, the correlation of the test between the subscales of the test, and between the questions of the scale is significant at the level of 0.01 confidence. The validity of the emotion control test among students, teachers, nurses and professors in Iran is relatively high and has an acceptable level and the test questions are correlated with each other, so the questions of this test are suitable for measuring emotion control.;One of the important concepts in contemporary theories is
