Covid-19 pandemic as an acute respiratory disease that emerged in Wuhan, China on 30 January 2020 was declared a public health emergency of international concern. The World Health Organization has introduced this disease as a great threat to physical and mental health because of changing in families’ normal lifestyle. It has seriously damaged people's mental health due to fear, uncertainty, quarantine measures, staying at home, social isolation, inappropriate information or pouring out news from various media, including social media, etc. With the spread of the Covid-19 disease, various centers including schools and universities were closed, social relations were severely limited, and leisure activities outside the home were canceled or greatly reduced. Virtual training, the suspension of end-of-semester final exams, and the unavailability of books, computers, and low-speed internet at home, affected students' mental health. The students were exposed to a significant risk of adverse consequences of quarantine, such as hopelessness and boredom, and financial loss to the family. Also the change in the daily schedule, including the lack of outdoor activities, disruption of sleep patterns and social distance, has affected the students’ mental health. The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychological consequences of Covid 19 virus on students.

The research findings from the outbreak of Covid 19 during 2019 to 2023 in the PupMed, Science direct, Google Scholar and ProQuest databases were searched through the keywords quarantine, mental health, psychological problems and students. Finally among 70 articles, 34 articles entered the research and the results were summarized and reported.

The results showed that post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, fear, practical obsession, social isolation, suicidal ideation, poor sleep quality, mood disorder, social dysfunction, wrong and risky diet, alcohol abuse, interpersonal conflicts, limitations of social communication, lack of concentration and loneliness are among the psychological consequences of Covid 19 virus in students.

So it was concluded that due to the negative psychological effects of the corona pandemic on students, it is necessary to plan and implement effective intterventions in order to improve thid future generation of society’s health physical and mentale.

Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that emotional problems can interfere with its treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (RCBT) and resilience training in expressing emotion in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and control group. Among type 2 diabetic patients referred to comprehensive health care centers by purposive sampling, 45 people were selected as the final sample and then randomly selected in simple Three groups of 15 people including two experimental groups and one control group were assigned. One experimental group received 10 sessions of 60 minutes of RCBT and the other group received 9 sessions of 60 minutes of resilience training. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and benferroni test.

The results showed that there was a difference between the experimental groups and the control group in the post-test of expression of emotion with the control of the pre-test  at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Also, there is no difference between religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training  at 95% confidence level (P<0.05).

The results showed that religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy and resilience training is effective in increasing the expression of emotion in diabetic patients and can be useful as an adjunctive therapy for diabetic patients.

Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases in which adherence to treatment plays a significant role in adherence to treatment and preventing its complications. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (RCBT) and resilience education in adherence to the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.

This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test post-test control group design. Among type 2 diabetic patients referring to health service centers 45 were selected by targeted sampling method as the final sample, who were then randomly assigned to three groups of 15 including two experimental groups and one control group. One experimental group received 10 sessions of 60 minutes of RCBT and the other group received 9 sessions of 60 minutes of resilience training. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance and Tukey test. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

The results showed a difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test of adherence to treatment with pre-test control (P=0.001, F=22.5) at 95% confidence level (P<0.05). Also, there was no statistically significant difference between RCBT and resilience training groups (F=8.46, P=0.2) at 95% level (P<0.05) in this regard.

The results showed that RCBT and resilience training are both effective in increasing adherence to the treatment of diabetic patients, so both methods can be used as an adjunct in the treatment of diabetic patients to increase adherence to treatment.

Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases that affect various physical, mental and social aspects of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (RCBT) in expressing emotion and blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design as well as control group, 30 patients were selected as final sample among T2D patients, referred to Comprehensive Health Service Centers using a purposive sampling method. Then, they were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control groups) of 15 persons. The experimental group received 10 60-minute sessions of RCBT, but the control group only received normal care. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) observing the assumptions.

There was a difference between the experimental and control groups after the emotion expression test with pre-test control (P=0.03, F=3.95) at 95% confidence level (P<0.05) in emotion expression and in fasting-blood-sugar (P=0.02, F=5/93) There is a difference. But at 2-hour post-prandial blood sugar (P=0.2, F=1.71) and glycosylated hemoglobin (P=0.65, F=2.68), despite the difference in the mean, the difference is not statistically significant.

The results have indicated that RCBT is effective in increasing the emotional expression of diabetic patients and can be useful in reducing fasting blood sugar as an adjunct therapy for diabetic patients.

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases with many consequences if ignored. Therefore, having hope, following treatment, and controlling blood sugar are vital. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on adherence to treatment, hope, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This work was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and a control group. The statistical population was all diabetic patients referred to the comprehensive health service centers of Ghaemshahr in 2020, 30 of whom were selected by purposive sampling; then, they were randomly assigned to two groups of 15 experimental and control. The experimental group received ten 60-minute sessions of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance in spss26 software.

The results showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups with pre-test control in terms of the variables of treatment adherence (F=39.42, p=0.001) and hope (F=37.73, p=0.001), which increased in the experimental group. However, there was no significant difference in HbA1C (p=0.065, F=3.68).

Due to the effectiveness of religion-based cognitive-behavioral therapy in increasing treatment adherence and the life expectancy of patients with type 2 diabetes, this method can be used as a complementary treatment along with medical therapies to improve their physical and mental health.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran is a pattern of human awakening in the present era. Also, Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, whose political thought is based on Shi'a political jurisprudence, is the criterion for recognition of the principles of the Islamic Revolution, and so far, he has played a decisive role in directing and raising movements among the nations. In his thought, with the development of the responsibilities of the Islamic system, the goal of establishing such a system is defined at three levels: national, regional and global. In the regional and international dimension, he considers the exportation of the Islamic Revolution, i.e. promoting the influence of Islam among the people of the world, as a genuine responsibility of the Islamic government towards the world, which must be followed in cooperation with all pillars of the system, through the obligatory principle of "commanding good and forbidding evil" as one of the most important Islamic concepts. In his eminence's political thought, the goals of the international exporting the revolution included intrinsic and inevitable; exporting a model of desirable values, fulfilling religious duties, neglecting oppression and protecting the oppressed, military tactics, following the principle of "invite", maintaining darul-Islam and preparing conditions for the global Islamic government.
