The perceived stress Cohen et al. (1983) scale was used to collect data. For analyzing the results we used covariance (MANCOVA and ANCOVA) and Bonferroni test. The results indicated that positive thinking training with written disclosure; positive thinking training without written disclosure and ACT decreased the perceived stress in women with breast cancer in three experimental groups in comparison to the control group.
