Mindfulness-based compassion treatment based on the book Fallah and Ayoubi (1397) was performed in 8 virtual 90-minute sessions. All collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21 descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that mindfulness-based compassion therapy had an effect on psychological well-being and its dimensions and life expectancy and dimensions in female with multiple sclerosis.
