Repeated diet failure leading to lowered self-esteem, a sense of guilt and even self-hatred. Studies have suggested that attentional biases for food cues may play an essential role in the development and the maintenance of maladaptive eating behaviors. This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of attentional bias modification Food-Related stimuli and food craving in dieters. The method was quasi-experimental with two-group pretest-posttest design. 30 people were selected based on the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to the two groups of experiment and control. The experimental group received the intervention attentional bias modification training. To measure attentional bias and interventions Dot-probe task test (MacLeod et al, 1986) and to measure food craving, Food Craving Questionnaire (Cepeda-Benito, 2000) were used respectively. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between two groups in attention bias and food craving in the pre-test and post-test. The results also showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the dimensions of intention and planning to consume food, anticipation of positive reinforcement, anticipation of relief from negative feelings, lack of control over eating, thoughts or preoccupation with food, emotions before or during food craving and guilt from craving (P<0/05).

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between teacher collective efficiency, school atmosphere, teachers’ scientific optimism and students' academic success with the mediating role of school effectiveness in girls high schools in districts one and two of Urmia. Concerning its objectives, this is an applied study and concerning its data collection procedure, this is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population was all the teachers of girls high schools in districts one and two of Urmia (N=800). Using Morgan table, 260 teachers were selected by relative class sampling method. Data were collected through five questionnaires: school climate, scientific optimism, teacher collective efficiency, school effectiveness and students' academic achievement.

 Cancer is a medical problem that has always been associated with pain. Because the experience of pain is associated with negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and anger, these negative emotions themselves reduce the quality of life, disrupt sleep habits and even people eating. Today, with the development of new technologies and pervasive influence of these technologies, the field of psychological therapies is also try to use the computer-based interventions. In this research, the effectiveness of conventional cognitive-behavioral pain therapy and its computer prescription on reducing the severity of pain and anger in children with cancer in Ahvaz was investigated.

 This research method was an experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up with the control group in which the effectiveness of two psychological interventions (cognitive behavior therapy of pain management and its computer version) were compared with the control group. The statistical population of the present study consists of all children with cancer who met the criteria for this study. There were about 73 subjects. The sample consisted of 45 children aged 8 to 12 years with various types of cancer, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria such as age, socioeconomic status, clinical diagnostic interview and other criteria among the cancer patients in the pediatric ward of Shafa Hospital. 2 Ahvaz were selected. Then randomly divided into three groups of 15 (two experimental groups and one control group). The research instruments included the Spielberger Anger Questionnaire (Brunner & Spielbeger, 2009) and the International Pain Measurement Scale (Wong & Baker, 2002). The first experimental group participated in routine cognitive-behavioral pain therapy sessions for 6 weeks and the second experimental group administered a computer-based training program for cognitive-behavioral pain management therapy for 6 weeks, but the control group did not receive any intervention. However, for ethical reasons, they were provided with a computerized training program, a computerized version of cognitive-behavioral pain therapy. This program was designed and developed by the researchers of this study, which includes a part of psycho-education, animation and computer games (Hamedy. & Et.al. 2017). After 6 weeks, all three groups were evaluated as post-test and finally after one-month follow-up period.

 The results showed that there was a significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of anger and pain variables (p<0.0001), the rate of anger and pain in the two intervention groups compared to the pretest and control groups decreased. These results were significantly continued after the follow-up period. During the follow-up period, the computer version of pain management was significantly more effective in reducing anger than the conventional cognitive-behavioral therapy of pain management, although computer intervention during the follow-up period reduced the pain better than the other intervention, but this reduction has not reached a significant level.

 Children with cancer face a lot of pain and anger. The introduction of psychological interventions based on new technologies will help these children to recover. The results of this study showed that the use of computer cognitive-behavioral pain intervention such as conventional cognitive-behavioral pain therapy has been effective to reduce pain and anger in children with cancer, but the therapeutic effect of cognitive-behavioral computer intervention program is effective in reducing pain and especially anger. Therefore, prescription of cognitive-behavioral pain management intervention and computerized prescription cognitive-behavioral pain management intervention, especially the recent approach, are recommended to reduce pain and anger in children with cancer along with drug therapies.

 Patients’ safety culture indicates the extent to which the staffs prioritize the safety of patients. In medical centers, it is very important to pay attention to the patients’safety. Hence, the patients’safety culture should be examined and improved. One of the factors which lead to the improved patients’ safety culture is structural empowerment. Structural empowerment refers to adjusting workplace structures by managers and facilitating the staffs’ access to organizational facilities. In other words, structural empowerment refers to the staffs’ access to four environmental factors (i.e., opportunity, information, support, and resources) in the organization. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the dimensions of structural empowerment and patients’ safety culture.

 The current study was descriptive-correlational research method, and the population included all staffs (i.e., 275 individuals) in the nursing department of a public hospital in Ahvaz. The research sample included 221 staffs who were selected through stratified random sampling. The data were collected through standardized tools, including Effective Working Conditions (the second version), and Patients’ Safety Culture in Hospitals questionnaires. The reliability of the questionnaires was examined through Cronbach’s alpha. Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple regression analysis (simultaneous method) and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data through SPSS software, version 16.

 The dimensions of opportunity, support and resources have a positive and significant relationship with the patients’ safety culture. However, the information dimension is not significantly related to the patients’ safety culture. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the dimensions of structural empowerment predict 59% of the variance of the patients’ safety culture, and from among all dimensions of structural empowerment, opportunity and information in the model do not have a significant effect on the patients’ safety culture. In addition, support and resources are the most important predictors of the criterion variables. The results of one-way analysis of variance showed that the score of safety culture among the midwives has the highest value, and the lowest value is attributed to the sitters. In other words, midwives pay more attention to the safety of patients and patients’ safety culture.

 Structural empowerment is one of the factors affecting patients’ safety culture which increases patients’ safety. Focusing on structural empowerment improves patients’ safety culture because when the staffs are structurally empowered, their accuracy and performance would improve, and they would provide more safe services to the patients. Therefore, hospital managers are advised to pay attention to the issue  of structural empowerment in order to strengthen the patients’ safety culture, and to provide the necessary training and equipment to improve the structural empowerment of their staffs, especially nurses.

The aim of this study was to investigated the mediating role of occupational burnout in relationship between structural empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior. The sample of study was 291 employees of a hospital who were selected using stratified random sampling. For investigating the correlation these standard questionnaires were used: Conditions of Work Effectiveness–II, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and Occupational Burnout. And for analyzing data, Structural equation modeling was used. The results of analyzing data showed that there was a significant and negative relationship between occupational burnout and structural empowerment. Also significant relationship between structural empowerment and occupational burnout with organizational citizenship behavior was obtained. The results of structural equation modeling suggests that the model fitted the data. With regard to these findings, it can be said that occupational burnout has a mediating role in the relationship between structural empowerment and organizational citizenship behavior. Accordingly, with regard to variables such as structural empowerment and decrease of occupational burnout, the rate of employees’ organizational citizenship behavior could be increased.

The turnover intention is a satisfaction & consciously, voluntarily & measured desire to leave the organization. The turnover intention imposes direct and indirect costs on the organization that can cause a disruption in the organization's performance. One of the variables that has an important role in prediction of turnover intention of employees is the entrepreneurial leadership.

Mindfulness can be effective in improving employees’ psychological wellbeing. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of mindfulness in motion-based (MIM) trainings on resiliency, emotion regulation, and job stress. The research method was experimental with a pretest-posttest design, a control group, and a follow-up phase. Using the stratified random sampling method, 300 employees were selected from the population. Next, based on the mindfulness questionnaire as well as the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 40 employees were selected as the research sample and were assigned randomly to experimental and control groups (20 employees in each group). The instruments included the mindfulness questionnaire, the resiliency questionnaire, the health and safety executive questionnaire, and the emotion regulation scale. The experimental group received the intervention of mindfulness in motion-based trainings in eight 60-minute sessions, but the control group received no intervention. The results indicated that mindfulness in motion-based trainings improved resiliency significantly at the posttest (P <0.001, F = 22.728) and the follow-up phase (P <0.001, F = 25.368). The trainings improved reappraisal results at the posttest (P <0.001, F = 15.578) and the follow-up phase (P <0.001, F = 6.594), and also reduced the suppression level at the posttest (P <0.001, F = 27.244) and the follow-up phase (P <0.001, F = 15.180). The results indicated the positive impact of mindfulness in motion-based trainings. Thus, it is recommended that theses trainings be utilized in the workplace.
