The statistical population of the study was women with breast cancer who referred to medical centers in Gorgan. The sample size was according to the test power (0.80), the effect size (0.50) and the confidence level (0.05) according to the Cohen table for the sample group (15 people). 45 people were selected according to the entry criteria. After selecting the prototype group; It was randomly divided into three groups of 15 and then by random assignment of two groups was considered as an intervention group and the other group as a control group and the research tool was the fear of recurrence questionnaire. The intervention groups underwent group training on cognitive-behavioral hypnosis and group therapy on mindfulness. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of variance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Levin and post hoc tests.

The results of a positive post hoc comparison test correspondingly indicated that cognitive-behavioral hypnosis intervention was more effective in reducing fear of recurrence.
