The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of group counseling with an existential approach on pain control, emotional regulation and social adaptation of patients with malignant gastrointestinal cancers. The design of the research was semi-experimental and pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up with a control group. The research population included all patients with malignant gastrointestinal cancer referred to Omid Hospital and Reza Specialized Oncology Center in Mashhad in the summer of 2021 whom 30 patients were randomly selected in two experimental groups (15 people) and control. (15 people) were placed. McGill's pain research tool was Gross Emotional Regulation and Social Adaptation (SAS), which was implemented on subjects in order to collect information in three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. In order to analyze the data, the variance analysis test with repeated measurements was used. The findings indicated that group counseling with an existential approach has an effect on pain control, emotional regulation and social adaptation of patients with gastrointestinal malignant cancers (p>0.05); It should be mentioned, the durability of the treatment effect was maintained after three months (p>0.05). Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that group counseling with an existential approach can be used in the field of pain control, emotional regulation and social adaptation of patients with malignant gastrointestinal cancers

Pain is the most common type of stress encountered by humans, especially children. Medications and non-pharmaceutical techniques are used to control pain. The present study aims at examining two non- pharmaceutical methods of pain control, namely relaxation and attention deviation in children admitted to state hospitals. To this end, 51 hospitalized children are selected via convenience sampling method, and once homogenized; they are placed in three equal groups: relaxation, attention deviation and control group. The results of analysis of single- variable covariance show that perception of pain decreases in the two experimental groups compared to the control group, and that relaxation is more effective than the attention deviation method. It can be concluded that two methods of attention deviation and relaxation can be used as non- pharmacological methods along with other methods of pain control in children and cause them to get along with their pain more easily.
