Abstract
Aim: Given the importance of psychological factors in the incidence of physical pains, the present study has been conducted for the purpose of comparing mindfulness and type D personality among women diagnosed with non-cardiac chest pain and healthy women of Tehran. Method: The present research is descriptive and of causative-comparative type. The sample includes 60 women with non-cardiac chest pain who were selected through accessibility sampling, from among the referrals to two hospitals and cardiac clinics that were compared with 60 women who had not chest pain and had the criteria for inclusion in the study. The participants responded to two questionnaires including the mindful attention awareness scale of Brown and Ryan (2003), and type D personality questionnaire of Denollet (1998). Findings: The results showed that the mean score for the scores of mindfulness and type D personality (negative affectivity and social inhibition) has significant difference (p < 0.05) between women with non-cardiac chest pain and healthy women of Tehran. Conclusion: Considering the results of the study, which represent the difference of mindfulness and type D personality in women with non-cardiac chest pain, compared to healthy subjects, it is suggested that psychological interventions also be used for treatment and recovery of this group of patients under the specialists' supervision.
