The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on perceived stress in the elderly with diabetes The research design of the present study was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research was all the elderly diabetics who visited the health centers of Rafsanjan and had symptoms of high stress. In this research, using the available sampling method based on random selection, people were placed in two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The F-value of the perceived stress in the post-test is (42.406), which is significant at the 0.001 level, and this shows that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the amount of perceived stress. The effect size of 0.61 also shows that this difference is large and significant in society. The F statistic of the perceived stress pre-test is also (5.819), which is significant at the 0.05 level. According to the findings, it can be said that the mean of the experimental groupin perceived stress is significantly lower than the mean of the control group. As a result, the ACT significantly affects the amount of stress in diabetic elderly.

 The commitment of nurses to their jobs and patients has made nursing one of the human service professions susceptible to burnout syndrome. Therefore, the present study aimed to predict burnout based on metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia with the mediation of optimism in nurses.

 The current research was based on applied purpose and descriptive-correlational research design, specifically, structural equation modeling. The statistical population in this research was all the nurses in the hospitals of Qom City in 1401, and 200 nurses were randomly selected to participate in the present research. In this field study, the participants completed  Burnout questionnaires by Meslech and Jackson (1986), a metacognition questionnaire by Wells and Cartwright-Houghton (2004), the Toronto dyslexia scale, and the Scheer and Carver optimism scale (1994). Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and structural equation model using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software.

 The results showed that the correlation coefficients between the variables are significant (p<0.01) and there is a positive and significant relationship between metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia with burnout in nurses, and there is a negative and significant relationship between optimism and burnout (p<0.01). Also, there was a negative and significant relationship between metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia and nurses' optimism (p<0.01). Also, the results of the path analysis showed that optimism plays a mediating role in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia with nurses' burnout.

 In general, current research emphasizes the importance of optimism in the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and alexithymia with nurses' burnout and optimism is an effective factor in reducing nurses' burnout.

Educational and psychological interventions have a wide contribution to mental health in the elderly. The current research was about the effectiveness of psychological and educational interventions in the field of old age in experimental evidence.

The type of study was applied and qualitative, and meta-synthesis technique was used. Using the targeted method, the integration approach, and Sandelowski and Barroso's (2007) model, 100 articles were selected; after the evaluation criteria, 79 final articles were selected. The scope of research articles was between 2016 and 2021 for foreign research and 1391 to 1401 for domestic articles. The findings were analyzed and implemented in the form of categories, concepts, and codes.

The results showed cognitive effectiveness (improving brain-neural functions, attention and concentration, learning and memory, functional and performance, reaction and response) psychological effectiveness (improving psychological processes, cognition, and belief, emotion and emotions, behavioral domain) effectiveness in disorders (improvement of clinical symptoms, mood and anxiety symptoms), physical effectiveness (improvement of body organ activity, physical performance) effectiveness on quality of life (levels of quality of life, dimensions of quality of life), social effectiveness (improvement of interpersonal interaction, family dimension, social dimension), emotional effectiveness (improving emotional processes, improving expression and management) and effectiveness in the field of illness (improving adaptation to illness, chronic and incurable diseases), occupational effectiveness (improving adaptation to work) themes of the effectiveness interventions constitute

The findings of the research show that interventions have been able to show their effectiveness for the elderly in important areas.

Aging is an inevitable period of every person's life. With the advancement of science and the improvement of health conditions, the number of elderly people in different societies is increasing, and the correct recognition and response to this period of life can improve the quality of life. The current research was conducted with the aim of predicting the quality of life of the elderly based on life expectancy and resilience.

The current research method was a correlational-descriptive and the statistical population of the current research consisted of the elder individuals living in Tehran's nursing homes full-time in 1400, who were selected by cluster random sampling. To collect data, Snyder's life expectancy questionnaire, World Health Organization's short quality of life scale, and Connor and Davidson's resilience scale were used. The data were analyzed using stepwise regression analysis.

The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that life expectancy explains up to 30.6% and resilience up to 37.5% of the variance of quality of life.

It can be said that in order to increase the quality of life of the elderly, the growth and improvement of the level of life expectancy and resilience of this segment of the society should be provided.

The present study was conducted with the aim of predicting sensation seeking and coping strategies based on emotional intelligence with the mediation of metacognitive beliefs in Qom province students.

The research method was descriptive-correlation and specifically, structural equation modeling, and its statistical population consisted of all students of Qom universities in 1401. Among these people, a sample size of 200 people was selected according to the formula of Mears et al. (2006) with the available sampling method and using emotional intelligence questionnaires of Shot et al. Zuckerman's 5th form sensation seeking and Wells et al.'s metacognition questionnaire (2004) were evaluated. Research data were analyzed using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson correlation test and structural equation model) statistical methods through SPSS-23 and AMOS-24 software.

The results of the present study showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between the component of evaluation and expression of emotion, regulation of emotion, exploitation of emotion and the total score of emotional intelligence with the total score of sensation seeking in students and a positive and significant relationship with the total score of coping strategies and metacognitive beliefs. There is (p>0.01). Also, there is a negative and significant relationship between the components of negative beliefs, cognitive confidence and cognitive self-awareness with the total score of sensation seeking in students (p<0.01). However, no significant relationship was found between the components of positive beliefs, the need to control thoughts and the total score of metacognitive beliefs with the total score of sensation seeking (p<0.05). Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between the components of positive beliefs, negative beliefs, cognitive confidence, the need to control thoughts, cognitive self-awareness, and the total score of metacognitive beliefs with the total score of coping strategies in students (p<0.01). Also, the results of the path analysis showed that metacognitive beliefs play a mediating role in the relationship between emotional intelligence and the coping strategies of Qom University students, but this relationship does not apply to emotional intelligence and sensation seeking.

The results of the present study showed that metacognitive beliefs play an effective role in relation to emotional intelligence and coping strategies.
