The present study aimed to develop an intervention program specifically for children from divorced families with emotional-behavioral disorders based on a cognitive-behavioral approach and to examine its effectiveness on the anxiety of children from divorced families. The research had an exploratory mixed (qualitative-quantitative) design. The statistical population in the qualitative part included related articles on children from divorced families, opinions of university professors, and psychological disorder specialists for package preparation and validation. The quantitative part included all female children from divorced families in Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh. A sample of 30 children from divorced families was purposefully selected and randomly divided into two groups of 15 (experimental and control). The experimental group received 12 sessions, twice a week for 90 minutes each. Data were collected using the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (2001) and the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (1997). Qualitative data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach, and quantitative data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The content validity of the intervention program was found to be between 0.75 and 1. The findings showed significant differences in anxiety scores between the two groups (P<0.01), indicating that the intervention program reduced anxiety in the experimental group. The results demonstrated that the developed intervention program could be an effective method for improving psychological disorders and reducing anxiety in children from divorced families.

Divorce can lead to many behavioral and psychological problems in children. The aim of the current study was to develop early intervention program based on cognitive-behavioral theory in children of divorce with emotional-behavioral disorders and determine its effectiveness in social adjustment of children of divorce.

In the current descriptive study, the statistical population included all articles and the professors of psychology, in the qualitative part, and all the girls of divorced families of Astaneh-Ashrafiyeh City, in the quantitative part, in 2022. Moreover, 30 children of divorce were selected by random sampling and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group was trained in 12 90-minute sessions, twice a week, and the control group did not receive any training. Data was collected in pre-test and post-test using Achenbach’s Child Behavioral Checklist (2001) and Dokhanchi's Social Adjustment Questionnaire (1998). The data were analyzed by thematic analysis and univariate analysis of covariance in the qualitative and quantitative parts, respectively.

The findings demonstrated  that the mean and standard deviation of social adjustment scores in the experimental group increased from 98.33±1.90 in the pre-test to 104.33±1.08 in the post-test, and in the control group from 98.07±1.67 in the pre-test to 98.53±1.40 in the post-test (p<0.001).

Based on the results of the present study, the early intervention program based on cognitive-behavioral theory of children of divorce with emotional-behavioral disorders was effective on the increase of social adjustment of these children. Therefore, this program can be implemented as an effective program to improve the social adjustment of children of divorce.

Divorce is one of the most important causes of tension and pressure on children.

The research aimed to develop of early intervention program based on cognitive-behavioral theory for divorced children with emotional-behavioral disorders and its effectiveness in aggression of divorced children.

The research scheme was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). The statistical population in qualitative part consisted of articles and documents related to divorced children and all the professors and specialists in children’s psychological disorders and quantitative part consists of all the girls of divorced families of Astaneh-ashrafiyeh in 2022. Moreever 30 people were selected by purposive sampling and randomly replaced in experimental and control groups. The intervention program was performed in 12 sessions of 90 minutes, two session per week for experimental group. Instruments included Achenbach’s Children Behavioral Check list (2001) and Shahim’s Primary School Aggression Questionnaire (2006). The data in the qualitative part were analyzed by thematic analysis and in the quantitative part by multivariate analysis of covariance.

The results showed the content validity of the intervention program was equal to 0.75 up to 1 and there is significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the groups in aggression (P<0.01). In general, the early intervention program based on cognitive-behavioral theory for divorced children with emotional-behavioral disorders is effective on aggression in divorced children (P<0.01).

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on coronavirus anxiety and parent-child interaction in mothers. The research design was semi-experimental as a pretest-posttest with a control group. Sampling method was purposive. For this purpose, among the statistical population of the study, including all mothers with children aged 6 to 12 years in Tehran who had symptoms of coronary anxiety and obtained a score higher than the average from the Coronavirus Anxiety Inventory (CDAS), 30 people who met the inclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The questionnaires were the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (Alipour et al., 1398) and the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS) (Pianta, 1994). After that, the experimental group received active music therapy with a Brain Dance approach for 21 sessions of 25 minutes (every day for 3weeks), while the controls did not receive any intervention. Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS-24 and multivariate analysis of covariance. The results of data analysis showed that music-therapy is effective on reduction of the physical and mental dimensions as well as the overall score of coronary anxiety; and also, the improvement of parent-child interaction in the dimensions of closeness, conflict, dependence and also the overall score of parent-child interaction and this effect is statistically significant (P <0.05). Therefore, music therapy can be used to reduce corona anxiety and improve parent-child interaction.

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between corona anxiety in mothers and parentchildinteraction and children's aggression during the quaran-tine days. The research design was descry-ptive and correlational.he statistical population of the study included mothers with children aged 6 to 12 in Tehran in May 2020.To conduct this research, the online sampling method and online implementation were used. The questionnaires used in the present study were Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS), ChildParent Relationship Scale (CPRS), and Primary Children's Aggr-ession Questionnaire. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS24 software. The results showed that corona anxiety in mothers had a significant negative relati-onship (r=01.51) with a positive overall relationship in parent-child interaction, and a significant positive relationship with aggression (r=0.601) in children. In add-ition, corona anxiety in mothers with beta coefficients of 0.324 and 0.428, respecti-vely, predicted a significant positive ove-rall relationship between mothers and children and children's aggression (p<0.01). Therefore, by providing timely and appropriate interventions and training to reduce anxiety caused by corona vir-uses' disease in mothers, it is possible to improve parent-child interactions and reduce children's behavioral and emotio-nal problems.
