The problem of mental health in children and adolescents is one of the concerns of modern societies and is of interest to many researchers. Many different factors play a role in its formation and manifestation, one of them is the occupational issues of the parents. Job burnout and job insecurity are two examples of employment issues that have psychological and physical consequences for difficult jobs, including nursing, which can negatively affect aspects of their lives, including their children’s mental health. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the role of nurses' job burnout and job insecurity in predicting the emotional-behavioral problems of their children.

The present study was descriptive and correlational. A total of 200 nurses working in hospitals of Sari in 2022 and 2023 with 4 to 12-year-old children were studied using convenience sampling method. The data collection tools were Maslach's job burnout questionnaire (1981), Nisi et al.'s job security questionnaire (1379), and Goodman's strengths and difficulties questionnaire (1997). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis using the SPSS-22 software.

Pearson correlation results showed that nurses’ job burnout (r=0.354) and job insecurity (r=0.412) were positively related to their children's emotional and behavioral problems (p<0.05). Based on the results of stepwise multivariate regression analysis, lack of personal accomplishment =β) 0.37) and emotional exhaustion =β) 0.31) as the components of job burnout; and lack of job satisfaction=β) 0.28) and not having a suitable job =β) 0.21) as the components of job insecurity were instrumental in predicting emotional and behavioral problems in nurses' children.

According to the results, ensuring job security and adjusting job burden for nurses can be an effective measure to reduce work-related problems for nurses and improve the mental health of their children. It is also proposed to improve the mental health of nurses and their families through the provision of psychological services and life skills training

Most of the children involved with mental health problems come from broken families. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to predict the psychological well-being of divorced children based on Components of parenting with the mediation of the guardian's personality traits.

The statistical sample of the current research is 400 students (200 gifted and 200 normal) who were randomly selected in a cluster. Martin and Jackson's Academic Flow Questionnaire and the short form of the Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire were used to collect data. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) test was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that there was no significant difference between the experience of flow and mindfulness in two groups of gifted and normal students (p>0.05).

Conclusion:

Therefore, paying attention to these results, it can be said that each group of gifted and normal students needs attention regarding the studied variables.

 Histrionic personality disorder is characterized primarily by intense emotions expressed in histrionic ways and attempts to seek others' attention, approval, or support through covert or overt seductive behavior. In addition to theatrical/seductive inappropriate interpersonal communication styles, this disorder is characterized by flexibility and sexualization tendencies. It seems that for the effective treatment of these individuals, the target should be their inner conflicts and intrinsic anxiety. A significant correlation between histrionic personality disorder and chronic migraine has been reported. Intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an optimal, modern treatment to address this issue. Based on the model of short-term psychotherapy, physical syndromes, such as longstanding migraine headaches, are caused by psychological anxiety and conflicts that often stem from childhood experiences. This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of short-term dynamic group psychotherapy on the severity of migraine headaches and histrionic personality disorder symptoms. 

 This quasi-experimental study employed a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The study's statistical population comprised all clients from a psychology clinic in Tehran City, Iran, in 2021-2022. Of whom, 24 clients (16 women and 8 men) were selected purposefully and completed the Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) (Stewart et al., 1999) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) (Milon & Davis, 1997). Then, they were randomly assigned to two groups: short-term dynamic psychotherapy (n=10) and control (n=10). The inclusion criteria included participation in all therapy sessions and being committed to group rules such as arriving on time and confidentiality. Since the participants in this research had been suffering from severe migraine headaches for many years and did not respond well to medication, eliminating the use of drugs for migraine was not one of the inclusion criteria. Simultaneous participation in other psychotherapy programs, having a history of psychosis, addiction, and lack of strong impulse control were other criteria for excluding the research. The exclusion criteria included the absence of more than two sessions and the unwillingness to cooperate in the research. Then, the intervention consisted of 16 group therapy sessions (one hour each) based on the ISTDP protocol implemented for the experimental group. One week after the last therapy session, the posttest was performed for both groups. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis at a significance level 0.05 with SPSS24 software.

 The analysis of covariance indicated that short-term dynamic group psychotherapy significantly influenced the severity of migraine headaches in individuals with a histrionic personality disorder (p=0.010) with a 46% effect size. Further, the intervention significantly affected the symptoms of histrionic personality disorder (p<0.001) with a 52% effect size.

 According to the results, short-term dynamic group psychotherapy is effective in reducing the severity of neurotic migraine headaches and the symptoms of histrionic personality disorder. Thus, its use is suggested in the treatment of people with migraine headaches and histrionic personality disorder.
