The aim of current research was to determine the effect of non-violent communication program training on depression, anxiety and stress of adolescents with hearing impairment in Mashhad. This research was a semi-experimental study by pre-test, post-test design with control group. Twenty adolescents with hearing impairment were selected from the mainstreaming schools of Mashhad city using convenient sampling method. They were randomly divided into two groups of 10 people and replaced in one of the experimental groups and control group. The experimental group participated in non-violent communication program training in 8 sessions (two sessions weekly), while control group did not. Lawibund & Lawibund Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21, 1995) was used for assessment of all participants. Data were analyzed by multiple analysis of covariance through SPSS version 26. Results showed that experimental and control groups had significant difference on the depression, anxiety and stress. In fact, non-violent communication program training had a positive and significant effect on the depression (F=9/56, P<0.0001, ƞ2=0/36), anxiety (F=13/84, P<0.0001, ƞ2=0/44) and stress (F=8/73, P<0.0001, ƞ2=0/33) in adolescents with hearing impairment. Since the non-violent communication program training improved depression, anxiety and stress in adolescents with hearing impairment, therefore planning for such training programs such as the non-violent communication program has an important role in improvement of the psychological distress of adolescents.

The purpose of this studywas tothe examining effectiveness of quiet eye training onkinematic parameters of the inhibitory receiving task in childrenwith developmental coordination disorder.The present of this study was Quasi-experimental witha pretest, post test and was utilized during and control group design. The participants of this study, 60 girls with developmental coordination disorder had age mean 6±1.15 years, wich were randomly in divided into three groups basic quiet eye training, short-term, long-term and control group. The considered interventions were performed for 6 weeks, three sessions per week and 45 minutes for each session. participants in phases pre – test, acquisition in each session, post – test and follow-up were performed received task 10 attempts at beanbags. The movement assessment battery for children - second edition (MABC-2) and an eye tracking device and camera with high speed and accuracy, was used motor evaluation and recording vision information and kinematic data received task. Also, data were analyzed using multivariate and univariate tests.The finding showed, basic, short- term and long-term quiet eye training had a significant effect on reducing the elbow joint angle inreceiving task in childrenwith developmental coordination disorder (P≤0.05). Also, long-term quiet eye training significantly reduced in elbow joint angle in the receiving task with compared to basic and short-term resident eye training (P≤0.05). It seems, optimal quiet eye training the cause reducing the elbow joint angle receiving task in childrenwith developmental coordination disorder.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived social support and parenting self-efficacy through the mediating role of emotional self-regulation in parents with a phenylketonuria (PKU) child. The statistical population consisted of 195 parents (130 women, 65 men) with PKU children, who referred to the support center for metabolic patients in Zanjan province in 2022. A total of 157 parents (113 women, 44 men) were selected by purposive sampling method. The study utilized three instruments: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), the Parental Self-efficacy questionnaire (PSAM) and the Emotional Self-regulation questionnaire(ESRSQ). The data were analyzed using Smart PLS software, and the relationship between variables was assessed through partial least squares structural equation modeling. According to the bootstrap results, the direct effects of perceived support from friends on emotional self-regulation (β=0.011, p=0.24) and emotional self-regulation on parenting self-efficacy (β=0.35, p=0.0001) was significant and positive. The indirect effects of perceived support from friends (β=0.083, p=0.019) through emotional self-regulation on parenting self-efficacy were significant and positive. These findings provide new evidence that emotional self-regulation strategies may be a target for psychological interventions that attempt to increase the self-efficacy of parents with a PKU child. Our findings have implications for health care practices and supportive-therapeutic interventions for PKU patients, as they emphasize the importance of helping parents cope with PKU-related problems in families.

The aim of this study was to compare the birth season and the mean calendar and biological age of parents of normal students and Down syndrome at birth. The statistical population of the present study consisted of the parents of primary school students in the 6th 11th 13th and 15th districts of Tehran, which in the academic year 2021.Therefore, 80 families were selected as a statistical sample (40 parents with normal children and 40 parents with children with Down syndrome) .The research method is comparative based on the implementation method. For data collection, children's birth season, calendar age and biological age of parents of students with Down syndrome and normal students at birth were used and independent t test and chi-square square test were used to analyze the data. Data analysis was performed by SPSS24 software.Based on the results, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of chronological age and age of mothers and biological age of fathers with children with Down syndrome and normal children at birth in the two groups. The results showed that mothers with children with Down syndrome have higher chronological and biological age than mothers with normal children.These differences were also significant in the biological age of the fathers. Therefore, it is suggested that in order to make mothers aware of the effects of biological age on the birth of their children, they should be given the necessary training so that an effective step can be taken to reduce the probability of having a child with Down syndrome.
