The present study aimed to investigate the efficiency of parent behavior management intervention based on Gottman's intervention in reducing parental stress and children's aggression, through a virtual (online) education system, In 1400 in Bushehr. 

In this research, which is a quasi-experimental type, through targeted sampling and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 31 mothers were randomly divided into two groups, i.e., intervention and the waiting list. Then they were evaluated by the Parental Stress Questionnaire and Achenbach scale. The validity of the therapy program was confirmed through the content validity index (CVI = 0.94). The intervention was formulated in eleven 90-minute sessions.

Variance analysis, repeated measures, and post hoc tests were used to analyze the quantitative data. The findings showed the efficiency of parent behavior management intervention based on parent emotional intelligence coaching in reducing parental stress (p= 0.03, f=5.03). Children's aggression (p= 0.03, f=5.55) through a virtual (online) education system compared to the waiting list group in both the pretest and post-test stages, and in addition to alleviated parental stress, children's aggression was also generally reduced.

The findings of this study emphasize the effect of online parent management training intervention based on the Guttman protocol in reducing parental stress and children's aggression, Therefore, it is suggested that therapists use online parent management training intervention as a useful method.

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is one of the approaches used to change problematic emotions and behaviors caused by painful experiences. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of TF-CBT on active coping style and life expectancy in 9-12-year-old orphan girl children.

The research method was carried out in a semi-experimental way with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up plan with a control group. The statistical population of the study included orphan children and girls living in the boarding centers of Isfahan City. To carry out the research, 40 people who were willing to participate in the project were selected through a public call in the welfare boarding center. Then they were randomly assigned to two experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. Hernandez's coping behavior questionnaires (2008) and Schneider's children life expectancy questionnaires (1995) were administered as a pre-test, and then the experimental group underwent 10 sessions (one 45-minute session per week) of TF-CBT of Feder et al. (2010) and after the completion of the post-test treatment and after 45 days of follow-up, it was performed for both groups.

 Repeated analysis measurement of variance test was used in SPSS-23 software to analyze the results. The results showed that TF-CBT had a significant effect on increasing active coping style and life expectancy of the participants (p<0.05).

According to the results of the research TF-CBT can be used as one of the new approaches to increase the life expectancy of orphan girls with relatively stable effects, to increase coping style in welfare centers.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of physical maturity and social and economic status on cognitive flexibility and perceived motor competence in 10-12-year-old children in Tehran. 

This study used a causal-comparative method, according to Morgan's table, 400 elementary schools ranging between the ages of 10 to 12 years in Tehran (second half of the academic year 1400) were randomly selected. Skeletal maturity was estimated by the Khamis-Roche method. The SES questionnaire was used to assess the socio-economic status. The Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire (FC) was used to assess the level of cognitive skills and the perceived motor competence questionnaire Was applied to measure children's motor skills. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Socio-economic status and physical maturity have a significant effect on each of the variables of perceived motor competence (p=0/001) and also on the variables of cognitive flexibility(p=0/021). The children at the level of early physical maturity and normal and also children with better socioeconomic status were perceived in the variables of cognitive flexibility (p=0/016)and motor competence (p=0/011)and their components were better than children with late physical maturity and low socioeconomic status. The results of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant relationship between physical maturity and cognitive flexibility and perceived motor competence, and there is also a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and perceived cognitive flexibility and motor competence, and high socioeconomic status in children with precocious puberty leads to increased cognitive flexibility and perceived motor competence.

Early physical maturity level and high socioeconomic status have led to an increase in perceived motor competence and cognitive flexibility of children.

The purpose of the research was to compare the effectiveness of Prevention of bullying training and social skills training on empathetic behaviors and academic procrastination of bullying students.

This semi-experimental pre-test-post-test-follow-up study was conducted with a control group. The statistical population included all male students of the first secondary level in Isfahan city. 45 of them were selected in a targeted manner by scoring in Splich and Hart's bullying questionnaire (2001) and assigned to three experimental and control groups. Experiment one group received Akbari Belotabandang Prevention of Bullying training (2019) experiment two group received Sadr et al.'s social skills training (2010) and the control group did not receive training. The students completed the questionnaires about the empathic behaviors of Wozen et al. (2015) and the academic procrastination of Solomon and Roth Bloom (1984) in the pre-post-test and follow-up stages.

The results of variance analysis with repeated measurements showed that both Prevention of bullying training and social skills had a significant effect on improving academic procrastination and empathic behaviors in students, and the effects remained in the follow-up phase, but Prevention of bullying training in academic procrastination. It was more effective than teaching social skills.

Therefore, it seems that the Prevention of bullying programs and social skills training in counseling centers and schools can prevent and improve academic procrastination and empathetic behaviors in bullying students.

Because childhood is very important and movement skills grow faster in this period. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a course of movement, educational, and traditional games on movement skills and anxiety of children.

For this purpose, 40 children of six years were selected and randomly divided into four groups including movement games (n=10), traditional games (n=10) educational games (n=10), and control (n=10). Before and after an eight-week training period, Ulrich-3 large motor development test and anxiety questionnaire were measured.

The result showed that the intervention (playing games) increased motor skills (P≤0.05; F=210/685) and Reduced anxiety (P≤0.05; F=24.875) of subjects had a significant effect.

According to the results of the research, it can be said that physical, educational, and traditional games can develop motor skills and reduce anxiety in preschool children due to their practice and content. Be a primary school.

 Effective assessment of pain in newborns leads to correct pain management and therefore the outcome of the treatment will be more favorable. However, despite significant advances in neonatal care, there are still barriers to pain assessment and interventions in hospitalized infants. 
The purpose of this study is to explore the barriers to pain assessment and measurement by nurses working in neonatal intensive care units.

In this qualitative study, a content analysis approach was used. Nurses working in neonatal intensive care units of Tehran and Karaj hospitals, who had more than 6 months of work experience and were willing to cooperate, were included in the study. In-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data. Qualitative data analysis was done using MAXQDA software version 2016.

 Fourteen nurses working in neonatal intensive care units participated in this study. Interviews were conducted until data saturation. The results of the data analysis led to the emergence of four main categories "Increased Workload ", "Discordant Atmosphere", "Soulless care" and "lack of awareness" and eleven sub-categories.

This study will significantly contribute to future research by elucidating barriers to neonatal pain assessment. Based on the findings of this study, researchers can provide targeted interventions, comprehensive training programs, and clear guidelines to improve the quality of neonatal care.

With the birth of a premature newborn, mothers experience new relationships, especially with nurses. The stress caused by the hospitalization of a premature newborn can negatively affect the health of the mother and then the health of the newborn. Therefore, a recent study was conducted to assess the relationship between spiritual health and perception of the communication with the nurse, in mothers with premature newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of hospitals in Bushehr province in 2022.

The current research is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population of this study was 218 mothers of premature newborns admitted to the neonatal intensive care units. Data gathering was done by convenience sampling and by using a demographic form of mother and newborn, spiritual health questionnaire (Palutzian & Ellison) with two dimensions, religious health and existential health and perception of communication with a nurse (Reid et al) questionnaire.

54% of mothers had average spiritual health and 46% of them had high spiritual health. The mean and standard deviation of perception of communication with the nurse was 62.41±10.42. The result of linear regression showed that the mother's existential health can be a positive predictor for the perception of communication with the nurses (=β0.437 ؛ P>0.001). Also, no significant relationship was between the mother's religious health and perception of communication with the nurse (=β0.085 ؛ P=0.001).

Since existential health as a part of spiritual health can be a positive predictor perception of the communication with the nurse, it is suggested that the hospitals have programs for the parents of premature newborns, specifically the mothers, to improve their spiritual health, especially the existential health. By increasing optimal interactions with the nurse, it will reduce stress and increase participation in the care of the newborn.

Children are the national and human capital of the country. Therefore, psychological health and the examination of their psychological aspects are of great importance, meanwhile, the role of parents in this field is undeniable. The purpose of the research was to test the structural model of children's behavioral problems based on mothers' mental health, considering the mediating role of emotional intelligence.

This research was fundamental and quantitative in terms of objective and semi-quasi-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of this research included all children diagnosed with behavioral problems before elementary school in Qom province in the academic year 1401-1402. A sample of 385 mothers, who volunteered to cooperate, were included in the research from among the mentioned society. Children's behavioral problems questionnaire (Quay and Peterson), emotional intelligence questionnaire (Bar-On), and general health questionnaire (GHQ) were used to collect information. The data were analyzed by correlation matrix method and structural equation modeling.

The results showed that the indicators of the proposed model have an acceptable fit. The path of mental health to behavioral problems (β = -0.294, P = 0.000), the path of mental health to emotional intelligence (β = 0.570, P = 0.000), and the path of emotional intelligence to behavioral problems (P = 0.000), β = -0.367) is reported. Also, the mediating role of emotional intelligence was confirmed at a confidence level of 0.95.

Mothers' mental health has significant effects on children's emotional intelligence and behavioral problems, so it is recommended that the contribution of the above variables in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment is considered important, and related organizations should consider possible preventive programs.
