The statistical population of all the personnel of Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Refinery in Sarkhes in 1400 was 553 people. By using the purposeful sampling method and based on the entry and exit criteria, 45 people were selected as a sample and randomly replaced in three groups (twoexperimental groups and one control group) (15 people in the experimental group of stress relief treatment based on on mind-awareness, 15 people in the experimental group of cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy and 15people in the control group). The stress reduction intervention program based on mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy (each) was presented to the subjects of two experimental groups (onemindfulness group and the other hypnotherapy group) in eight 90-minute sessions. The tool for collecting information was the work-family conflict questionnaire of Carlson et al. (2000). In order to analyze the data at two levels of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, the statistical test of covariance was used in SPSS software. The comparison of means showed that the mindfulness-based de-stressing group treatment method had a significant difference in reducing work-family conflict with the control group (P<0.01). In comparing the average scores of the cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy group with the control group, a significant difference was observed in the reduction of work-family conflict (P<0.01).
