Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of program - based programs based on the planning and inhibition of responses in adolescents infected with obesity in Iranian population.
Method: the present study of the kind of experimental research was in the form of pre - test - test design with control group. The study population consisted of kidney - infected students who were studying in government schools in a Tehran city in the 99 - 99 academic year Among them were selected 50 students in the available sampling method and were tested using selection and random appointment in two experimental groups (25 persons) and control (25). The control group received a mindfulness-based program for 14 sessions and before, were assessed during and after the treatment sessions, both control and experimental groups used the Emotional Regulation Checklist Questionnaire (Children and Adolescents Form) The Stroop Color and Word Test.
The results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of emotion regulation (F = 10.08, p <0.0001). Also, these two groups had significant differences in terms of response inhibition (F = 27.25, p <0.0001).
Conclusion: Shows that mindfulness training is effective on psychological, neurological responses and stress reduction resulting from social assessment. Also, changing consciousness and concentration when eating using mindfulness method is effective in increasing relaxation and improving inhibition of people's response.
