The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training and compassion-based training on emotion regulation in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, a control group, and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population was men with coronary heart disease who were referred to the specialized center of Shahid Rajaee Hospital in Tehran in 2024. 45 people were selected voluntarily and randomly assigned to two experimental (30 people) and control (15 people) groups. The measurement tool included the Gross and John Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003, CERQ). The first experimental group received mindfulness-based stress reduction training in 8 face-to-face 90-minute sessions, and the second experimental group received compassion-based training in 8 face-to-face 90-minute sessions. The analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data. The analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the groups in pre-test, post-test, and follow-up reappraisal and suppression (p<0.05). Also, both mindfulness-based stress reduction training and compassion-based training were effective on reappraisal and suppression, mindfulness-based stress reduction training was more effective on distress tolerance (p<0.05). Therefore, it can be said that mindfulness-based stress reduction training can be effective alone or with complementary treatment in regulating emotions in men with coronary artery disease.
