Abstract
Introduction: Considering the high prevalence of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), their high economic costs, and severe negative effects on the patients, the present study was conducted to investigate the structural model for prediction of perceived social support based on mindfulness in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Method: This study was conducted in the form of a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this study consisted of 720 patients with ulcerative colitis referred to gastrointestinal clinics in districts 4 and 7 of Tehran in the second half of February and the first half of March 2020, from which 270 cases were selected according to purposive sampling method. Among them, 261 patients completed questionnaires and were included in the study. The research instruments were Zimet's Perceived Social Support questionnaire, Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory- short form, and Garnovsky Cognitive Emotion Regulation questionnaire. The structural equation analysis method was applied to analyze the data. For this aim, SPSS and Amos softwares were employed.
Results: The results showed that mindfulness was positively associated with perceived social support and cognitive emotion regulation in patients with ulcerative colitis. There was also a positive relationship between the cognitive emotion regulation and the perceived social support in these patients. In addition, mediated by the cognitive emotion regulation, mindfulness was associated with the social support in patients, and the assumed model was found to have a good fit.
Conclusion: Since social support, with the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation, was inversely associated with mindfulness in patients with ulcerative colitis, paying attention to these variables could help researchers and therapists to design more efficient therapies.

Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study, which was conducted in 2019 on 306 adults in Bandar Abbas, Iran who were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were a demographic form, Folkman and Lazarus’ ways of coping questionnaire, health-promoting lifestyle profile, and Garnefski et al.’s cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
Results Cognitive emotional regulation strategies negatively mediated the relationship between emotion-focused coping style and health-promoting behaviors, and positively mediated the relationship between problem-focused coping style and health- promoting behaviors (P<0.001).
Conclusion The results of this study can provide the necessary solutions regarding peoples’ relationships based on the study variables.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to determine the mediating role of emotional regulation in the relationship of distress tolerance and self-compassion with health-promoting behaviors.
Methods The is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in 2020 on 306 adults in Bandar Abbas, Iran who were selected using a convenience sampling method. The data collection tools were Simmons and Gaher’s distress tolerance scale, Raes et al.’s self-compassion scale, and Walker et al.’s health-promoting lifestyle profile, and Garnefski and Kraaij’s cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire. The analysis was done using the structural equation modeling.
Results Adaptive emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship of self-compassion and distress tolerance with health-promoting behaviors positively and significantly. The maladaptive emotion regulation strategies only could positively and meaningfully mediate the relationship between distress tolerance and health-promoting behaviors.
Conclusion Considering the role of study variables in promoting health- promoting behaviors, health planners and health providers can take useful steps to improve society’s health.
