The original article contains some errors which we wish to correct.

Firstly, there is an error in the affiliation given for Amir Abbas Taheri. The correct affiliation should read: “Department of Clinical Psychology, Faculty of Medicine, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran”.

Secondly the reference for ethics committee approval is incorrect as shown. The updated “Ethics approval and consent to participate” section should read as follows: “Written informed consent (about participation in the study) was received from all patients before the beginning of the study. The scales used in this research were all filled anonymously and a numeric code was used. This project was assessed and certified by the ethics committee of Kermanshah University of medical science (IR.KUMS.REC.1397.939)”.

Finally, in the "Results" section, the first sentence of the second paragraph should read: “All of the patients were residents of Tehran, Iran”.

These corrections do not affect the results and conclusions of the study. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience to readers.
