Acquired data was analyzed by variance analytical technique.
Results: Data analysis findings indicated that the effectiveness of mindfulness based stress reduction improves components and aspects of life quality (P < 0.04) and reduces convulsions (p < 0.03) in epileptics in past test and follow-up steps significantly.
