The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy on rumination and resilience of cosmetic surgery applicants in Tehran in 1399. The present research method is quasi-experimental and a pre-test-post-test design with a control group has been used to collect data. The statistical population of the study consisted of all applicants for cosmetic surgery in Tehran, from which 30 people were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to the experimental group (15 people) and the control group (15 people). The experimental group underwent mindfulness therapy for 8 sessions of 90 minutes and the control group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used in the present study included the rumination questionnaire (Nolen Hooksma and Murrow, 1991) and the resilience questionnaire (Connor and Davidson, 2003), which were used in two stages of pre-test and post-test. The analysis of the information obtained from the questionnaire was performed through SPSS22 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (analysis of covariance). The findings showed that mindfulness-based treatment reduced rumination in people seeking cosmetic surgery. The results also showed that mindfulness-based therapy increased resilience in people seeking cosmetic surgery. Therefore, it seems that mindfulness-based therapy can reduce rumination and offer effective techniques to improve resilience in people seeking cosmetic surgery.
