Substance use disorders, particularly opiate addiction, pose significant challenges for individuals and public health systems. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two therapeutic approaches, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy based on Marlatt's Model (CBTMM) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), on abstinence self-efficacy in men with opiate use disorder under methadone maintenance treatment. Methods and Materials:

This study was a randomized controlled trial including 60 men with opiate use disorder under methadone maintenance treatment. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups of 20 each (CBTMM, tDCS, and control). The interventions consisted of 12 weekly sessions of 75 minutes each. Data were collected at three time points (pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up) using the Abstinence Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and analysed using repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests.

The results indicated that both CBTMM and tDCS significantly increased abstinence self-efficacy compared to the control group. The mean abstinence self-efficacy score in the CBTMM group increased from 44.60 (SD = 7.64) at pre-test to 58.80 (SD = 8.98) at post-test and further to 61.85 (SD = 8.48) at follow-up. Significant improvement was also observed in the tDCS group, although to a lesser extent than in the CBTMM group.

The findings of this study demonstrate that both CBTMM and tDCS are effective in improving abstinence self-efficacy, with CBTMM showing greater efficacy.

The present study aimed to investigate the role of chronotype predictability in the working memory of female students using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery.

The statistical population consisted of 180 female students in the first to third grades at Tawheed School in Shahrood City for the academic year 2023-2024. These students were selected using an available sampling method and were assessed during the morning shift. The Children's Chronotype Questionnaire (CCTQ) was used to measure chronotype, while the Cambridge Neuropsychological Assessment Test was used to evaluate students' working memory. Data analysis involved correlation coefficient tests and stepwise regression analysis carried out using SPSS-22 statistical software.

The study found a significant positive relationship between working memory parameters—such as errors and strategies—and chronotype questionnaire indicators, particularly the midpoint of sleep and the morning/eveningness component. Outstandingly, the morning/eveningness component had a correlation of 87/87 for errors and 1B/03 for strategies, while waking time on working days correlated with errors at 0.14 and strategies at 0.1B, signifying they may predict working memory performance. On the contrary, the results indicated that girls with a morning chronotype demonstrated fewer errors and more effective strategies compared to those with intermediate and evening chronotypes (P<0.05). Furthermore, older students (9 years old) exhibited fewer errors and better strategies, with these age-related differences being statistically significant.

The results highlight the importance of considering circadian rhythm factors in evaluating students' learning. Recognizing individual differences in morning and evening preferences can be favorable for designing effective educational programs.

The impact of parental divorce on children always has consequences that threaten their lives and future. Adapting to parental divorce is one of the challenges that children of divorce face, and its absence may have adverse consequences for children of divorce and society. One of the damages of divorce on the children of the family is the psychological capital of the children. Psychological capital is a set of resources and internal capital that usually represents a person's positive assessment of the situation and the probability of achieving success based on these resources. Considering the importance of parents' role in children's lives, parent education is sometimes the most effective and common treatment to reduce children's problems. Effective parenting training is one of these kinds of training. This training includes effective parenting training (step by step). Therefore, this research aimed to formulate an efficient parenting model for divorced mothers and determine its effectiveness on the psychological capital of teenagers.

This quasi–experimental research employed a pretest–posttest design with control and experimental groups. The statistical population of this research included divorced mothers with teenage children who were referred to counseling and psychology centers in Tehran City, Iran. The sample size was determined using the G*Power software so that the study has the necessary power to detect a difference of at least 1 unit in the level of anxiety sensitivity between the experimental and the control groups. Assuming the probability of the first type of error is 5% and the likelihood of the second type of error is 20%, with a standard deviation of 0.9, the number of samples is estimated to be 15 people for each group. Therefore, among the statistical population, 30 qualified volunteers were randomly entered into the study and divided into the experimental and control groups (each group contains 15 people). The inclusion criteria were as follows: being a divorced mother, having a teenage child, bearing at least a diploma level of education, and not participating in other therapeutic interventions at the same time. The exclusion criteria were as follows: absenteeism more than out of three sessions and non–observance of group therapy rules. The implementation method was that after selecting the people of the sample group and before starting the treatment program, the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (Luthans et al., 2007) was distributed between both groups. After that, the effective parenting training program for divorced mothers was implemented in the experimental group (a 90–minute session and each session once a week). The control group was not subjected to any treatment program. In the end, the posttest was done again from both groups. Data analysis was carried out in two parts: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. At the level of descriptive statistics, mean and standard deviation, and at the level of inferential statistics, univariate analysis of covariance was used. Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 24, and the significance level of the tests was considered to be 0.05.

The results showed that the effect of an efficient parenting model in divorced mothers on the psychological capital components of teenagers, including hope, optimism, resilience, and self–efficacy, was significant (p<0.001). Also, the effect size for the components of hope was 0.64, optimism 0.63, resilience 0.51, and self–efficacy 0.68.

According to the findings, the efficient parenting model for divorced mothers is a suitable method for increasing the psychological capital of their teenagers.

The damages of perfectionism in obsessive personality during COVID–19 pandemic need psychological treatments. The main symptom of an obsessive–compulsive personality is perfectionism. This symptom has intensity and weakness in the nurses of different hospital departments. Therefore, the treatment of perfectionism in the nursing group is considered important. This research responds to the impact of acceptance and commitment based on compassion and emotion–oriented schema therapy on the perfectionism of nurses. So far, no study has been done on perfectionism in emotion–oriented schema therapy. Considering the combination of emotion–oriented schema therapy and meta–diagnosis of perfectionism, this research seems necessary. Also, due to the similar diagnostic elements in the two treatments of acceptance and commitment therapy based on compassion and emotional schemas, no comparison has been made between these two treatments. So, this research investigated the effectiveness of emotion–oriented schema therapy and compassion–based acceptance and commitment therapy on the perfectionism of nurses with obsessive–compulsive personality traits working in the coronavirus ward.

This quasi–experimental study employed a pretest–posttest and follow–up design with a control group. The statistical population comprised the nurses working in the coronavirus departments of the social security hospitals of Karaj and Tehran cities, Iran, in 2021 and 2022. Of them, 40 nurses were selected using the available sampling method from Lavasani and Alborz hospitals who met the inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The inclusion criteria were as follows: not participating in other psychological interventions at the same time and lacking debilitating physical and mental illnesses (diagnosed by the researcher and using interviews). The exclusion criteria included the absence of more than three intervention sessions and non–observance of group therapy rules. For ten 120–minute sessions, the experimental groups underwent emotion–oriented schema therapy based on Leahy's program (2011) and compassion–based acceptance and commitment based on Tirch et al.'s (2014) program. This research used the Personality Inventory (Krueger et al., 2013) and the Tehran Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (Besharat, 2007) for data collection. Data analysis was carried out in two parts: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. At the level of descriptive statistics, frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were calculated. At the level of inferential statistics, variance analysis with repeated measurements and Bonferroni post hoc tests were performed. Data analysis was done using SPSS software version 24, and the significance level of the tests was considered to be 0.05.

Results showed that the mean scores of self–oriented perfectionism and community–oriented perfectionism in the two groups of emotion–oriented schema therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy based on compassion therapy did not have a significant difference (p=1.000). However, there was a significant difference between the acceptance and commitment treatment group based on compassion and the control group in self–oriented perfectionism in the posttest stage (p<0.001) and follow–up (p=0.004) as well as between community–oriented perfectionism in the posttest (p=0.008) and follow–up (p=0.015). Also, the emotion–oriented schema therapy group showed a significant difference with the control group in self–oriented perfectionism in the posttest (p=0.003) and follow–up (p=0.031), as well as between community–oriented perfectionism in the posttest (p=0.036). Still, the effect of this intervention in the follow–up phase on community–oriented perfectionism was not significant (p=0.078).

The results of the study indicate the similar effect of compassion–based acceptance and commitment therapy and emotion–oriented schema therapy on the perfectionism of nurses. Considering the similarity of these two treatments in communication with the present, education in the field of emotion, and their deficiency in obsessive personality, they can be used as complementary treatments.

This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on the self-concealment of adolescents with a history of self-injury admitted to the psychiatric ward of the hospital. The research method was a single case (A-B-A) with multiple baselines and a one-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the research was adolescents aged 14 to 19 years admitted to the psychiatric department of Baqiyatullah Azam Hospital in Tehran in 2021-2022. 4 people were selected from the statistical population by purposive sampling method. A Self-concealment questionnaire (SCS, 1990) and a list of self-injurious behaviors (ISAS, 2009) were used to collect data. After multiple baselines for each adolescent, an individualized intervention program was presented in 8 90-minute sessions. The data were analyzed using a reliable analysis method and with the help of graphs. The results showed that after receiving training, the participants' scores in self-concealment and self-injury decreased for each participant. Based on the results, treatment based on acceptance and commitment is effective in reducing self-concealment and self-injury in hospitalized adolescents.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of play therapy on communication skills, feelings of loneliness, and educational adjustment of children with hearing impairment. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all students with hearing impairment in the age range of 6 to 12 years in Damghan city in the academic year of 2018-2019, and 16 of them were randomly selected in two experimental and control groups using available sampling method. (Each group 8 people) were assigned. In order to measure the variables, the Revised Questionnaire of Queen-Dame Communication Skills (QCST-R), the Revised Loneliness Scale of Russell, Peplau and Catrona (R-UCLA) and the Educational Adjustment Questionnaire of Teaguez, Clark and Thorpe were used and the interventions Play therapy was performed as a group for the experimental group during 12 45-minute sessions in the rehabilitation unit. Multivariate covariance analysis was used in the SPSS software environment to check the research hypotheses. The results of the present study showed that the average of the experimental group was different in the post-test of communication skills and academic adjustment and feelings of loneliness. In fact, play therapy increases communication skills and its components (the ability to receive and send messages, emotional control, listening skills, insight into the process of communication and communication combined with assertiveness) as well as the educational adjustment of children with hearing impairment (p<0.01), and play-therapy was effective in reducing the loneliness of these children (p<0.01). It is suggested to use cognitive-behavioral play therapy with group performance to improve communication skills and increase educational adaptation and reduce the feeling of loneliness of hearing impaired children.

The aim of this study was to compare emotional regulation, decision-making styles and cognitive processing in children with oppositional defiant disorder and normal children.

The research method was descriptive causal-comparative. The statistical population included all normal students and children with oppositional defiant disorder in primary school in Minoodasht city in the academic year of 2018-19. Children with oppositional defiant disorder were selected using the cluster random sampling method and normal children with the available method. For data collecting, oppositional defiant disorder rating scale for children, the Grass & John's Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Scott and Bruce's decision-making styles, and the Schoenberg and Skilder information processing questionnaire were used.

The results of the multivariate analysis of variance showed that the average reappraisal of normal children was higher than that of children with oppositional defiant disorder, and the mean repression of children with oppositional defiant disorder was higher than that of normal children. In avoidant, dependent, and instantaneous decision-making styles, the mean of children with oppositional defiant disorder was higher than in normal children, and the average of normal children in intuitive and logical styles was higher. The mean components of cognitive processing, including critical reading, primary tissue, and the structure of normal children, were higher than those of children with oppositional defiant disorder.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the nature of the disorder in children with oppositional defiant disorder causes them to be weaker in emotional regulation, decision-making styles, and cognitive processing than their normal peers.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent and costly psychiatric disorders globally. Among the common problems faced by individuals with MDD are procrastination and deficits in problem-solving abilities, which can negatively impact their quality of life, occupational functioning, and social relationships. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in reducing procrastination and enhancing problem-solving skills among individuals with MDD.

In this multiple-baseline experimental study, four participants diagnosed with MDD were selected using a purposive sampling method. Data were collected during baseline, intervention (CBT), and follow-up phases through direct observations, self-reports, and standardized measures of procrastination and problem-solving. The data were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including visual analysis of graphs, calculation of non-overlapping data percentages, and effect size estimation.

The findings of this study revealed that CBT significantly reduced procrastination and substantially improved problem-solving abilities in the participants. The calculation of statistical indices, such as the percentage of non-overlapping data (88%) and Cohen's d effect size (d=2.41) for procrastination, and the SMD=-2.42 for problem-solving, confirmed the positive and substantial impact of this therapeutic approach in alleviating these difficulties.

Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that CBT can be an effective and efficient treatment approach for reducing procrastination and enhancing problem-solving skills in individuals with MDD.

  The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of anger management and parenting training on response inhibition, self-pity and selective attention in students with Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

In terms of applied purpose, and in terms of the nature of the data, this study was a quasi-experimental design of pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all fifth and sixth grade male students in District 9 of Tehran in the academic year of 2009-2010. 45 people were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The experimental groups were trained and the control group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used were the confrontational disobedience disorder rating scale in children (Homersen et al., 2006) and self-pity (Nef, 2003), which were used in pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of covariance in Spss software version 23.

The results showed that the group receiving the anger management and parenting training program on Self-compassion in students with Oppositional Defiant Disorder are not only showed more effectiveness than the control group. Self-compassion and selective attention of students with Oppositional Defiant Disorderare had the same effect as parenting department.

Therefore, the use of parenting and anger management training along with educational courses for students with confrontational disobedience disorder can prevent the occurrence, exacerbation and conversion of symptoms of confrontational disobedience disorder. 

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of emotion-oriented schema therapy on death anxiety in nurses with obsessive-compulsive personality traits.

This research was practical and semi-experimental (pre-test, post-test, and follow-up) with a control group. The statistical population was nurses working in social security hospitals from 2021. The statistical sample consisted of 13 people in the experimental group and 13 people in the control group from nurses working in the Corona department, who had an average score on the personality questionnaire of the fifth diagnostic statistical guide and Templer's death anxiety. Experiment and control (13 people in each group) were randomly assigned. Templer's death anxiety scale was used to measure the research variable in the pre- and post-treatment stages.The experimental group was treated with emotional schema therapy for 10 sessions of 120 minutes. The control group did not receive treatment. At the end of the treatment period, the post-test was performed. The data were analyzed with the help of SPSS-24 software and by the variance analysis method with repeated measurements. 

The results of the analysis showed that this therapeutic intervention reduces the death anxiety of nurses with obsessive-compulsive personality traits working in the Corona ward. P < 0.01

emotional schema therapy intervention can be one of the effective treatment strategies to improve the death anxiety of nurses with obsessive personality traits. Therefore, holding training courses in this field is recommended.

The present study aimed to compare of effectiveness the exposure and response prevention therapy with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on guilt feeling. This was a semi-experimental study with two experimental groups and one control group. The design was conducted using the pre-test, post-test and two months follow-up method. Based on this, 45 people with obsessive-compulsive disorder who referred to counseling and psychotherapy service centers in Tehran in 2023, were selected on purposeful sampling and randomly assigned to three groups (15 people in each group). In order to collect information, Yale-Brown obsessive-compulsive scale and guilt feelings questionnaire were used. At first, the participants were pre-tested, then, the experimental groups underwent 10 sessions of 90 minutes of exposure and response prevention therapy and 8 sessions of 90 mins mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. The post-test was conducted on all participants. Two months later, the follow–up test was completed by 3 groups. The analysis of variance with repeated measurements were applied to data. The results showed that both methods were suitable, but the exposure and response prevention therapy had a greater and more meaningful effect.

 The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on improving executive actions, performance, and attitude toward reading in children with dyslexia.

 In terms of nature, the research method is practical and semi-experimental. The research design was pre-test-post-test with the control group. The statistical population includes all male and female students between the ages of 8 and 12 who were dyslexic and referred to learning disabilities centers in Shahroud City in 2023, from which a sample of 30 people was selected purposefully. The data collection tool was the behavioral rating questionnaire of executive actions, the official test of reading and dyslexia (Karma Nouri and Moradi, 2017), and the attitude test toward reading (McKenna and Kerr, 1990). The experimental group underwent cognitive rehabilitation training for children with dyslexia using working memory software for 11 sessions of 60 minutes, and the control group did not receive training during this period. For data analysis, univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test were used with the help of SPSS26 software.

 The results showed that cognitive rehabilitation training improved executive actions, reading performance, and attitude toward reading in dyslexic children. Therefore, it is suggested to use computer-aided cognitive rehabilitation due to its attractive environment and sound, image, and video for children with special needs who have a low threshold of patience and attention.

 Because these children get tired and bored during training and need a strong stimulus to continue training, it is necessary to provide rewards at the time of success and by giving immediate feedback at the moment of failure.

Borderline personality disorder is a serious and complex mental disorder that contains a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulsivity. Therefore, the aim of the current study was the effectiveness of self-compassion-based mindfulness therapy on emotion regulation, loneliness, and impulsivity in borderline personality disorder patients.

The present study was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test- post-test design with two experimental and control groups. Among all the people with borderline personality disorder referred to the clinics in Qochan City, 30 people were selected by available sampling method and replaced in two experimental and control groups. All of them completed the emotion regulation (2003), loneliness (1980) and impulsivity (1994) questionnaires in the pre-test and post-test phases. After that, the experimental group underwent mindfulness intervention. Finally, the data was analyzed using covariance analysis by SPSS version 26 statistical software.

The results showed that the mean emotion regulation score in the experimental group significantly improved after the intervention compared to the control group (P<0.05). Mindfulness therapy based on self-compassion in the subjects of the experimental group, unlike the control group, in the post-test phase led to a decrease in loneliness and impulsivity (P<0.05).

These findings have further clarified the role of emotional, cognitive and behavioral structures in borderline personality disorder sufferers and the need to use therapeutic approaches combined with mindfulness in order to adjust the symptoms of borderline personality disorder sufferers.

The current research was done to develop a model of attention deficit based on the components of emotions and thought with the mediation of the analytical intelligence of teenagers. This research used a descriptive method of correlation type using structural equation modeling methods. The statistical sample included 375 students of the first secondary school with signs of attention deficit in Tehran in the academic year of 2001-2002, who were selected in a available way. Three questionnaires include adult ADHD self-report scale (ASRS), Kazemi Haghighi Emotion Thought Questionnaire and Kettle Intelligence Questionnaire Result 3-Form A (KIT:A), were completed by the samples. In addition to descriptive statistics, the structural equation method was used for data analysis using Amos-26 software. The findings showed that thought excitement and analytical intelligence were significantly related to attention deficit symptoms. According to the findings, it can be concluded that some characteristics, such as the excitement of thought and analytical intelligence, can predict the signs of attention deficit (p<0.01). From the research findings, it can be concluded that in the diagnosis and treatment process of attention deficit, the variables of emotion, thought, and analytical intelligence is very important. Thus, the increase in attention deficit is associated with a decrease in the score of thought excitement and analytical intelligence.

Objective:

 The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of anger management and parenting training on selective attention in students with oppositional defiant disorder.

This research was applied in terms of purpose, and quasi-experimental design of pre-test and post-test design with a control group in terms of the data nature. The statistical population included all fifthand sixth-grade elementary school students in District 9 of Tehran City in the academic year of 2019-2020, of which 45 were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group. The anger management experimental group based on cognitive-behavioral approach was trained in eight 1.5hr sessions, the parenting experimental group was trained in nine 90min sessions, and the control group remained on the waiting list. The instruments used in the present study included the Scoring Scale for Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Children (Homersen et al., 2006) and the word “Stroop” color test for selective attention, which were used in two stages: pre-test and post-test.

The analysis of data obtained from the questionnaire was performed through the SPSS-V24 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (analysis of covariance).

The results revealed that the groups receiving the anger management and parenting training programs showed greater effectiveness on selective attention in students with oppositional defiant disorder than the control group. Coping had the same effect in the two groups of “anger management” and “parenting”. It seems that therapists, researchers and psychotherapists in the field of children and adolescents can use the educational programs of the present study to increase the selective attention of learners.

Autism spectrum disorders have adverse effects on family life. Based on this, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the Effectiveness of Reality Therapy Based on Unconditional Positive Self-Acceptance on the Attitude towards Childbearing in Mothers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The present study was an experiment with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was made up of all mothers of children with autism in Sari City in 2021-2022, from which a sample of 30 people was selected using the available sampling method and randomly divided into two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people were placed in the control group. The people in the experimental group received reality therapy intervention based on unconditional positive acceptance for two months in 8 sessions of 60 minutes. The questionnaire used in this research included Soderberg et al.'s (2013) attitude scale towards fertility and childbearing. The results of the test showed that reality therapy based on unconditional positive self-acceptance has a significant effect on the attitude towards fertility and childbearing of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders. Based on the findings of the present research, it can be concluded that reality therapy training based on unconditional positive self-acceptance, with the benefit of teaching appropriate methods for accepting reality and making moral and responsible choices, can be used as an efficient method to improve the attitude towards fertility and childbearing.

As a natural process of maturation, aging has both positive and negative aspects and causes new alterations in a person's social and psychological standing. Therefore, psychological therapy can assist the elderly in recovering from their individual, societal, and economic impairments. In this context, it appears crucial to identify more effective therapies.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficacy of logotherapy with acceptance and commitment therapy in reducing elderly loneliness.

The research design was quasi-experimental and consisted of a pre-test, a post-test, and a control group. The statistical population comprised all elderly residents of Tehran in 2021, 45 of whom were randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group from among the elderly residing in health homes in Tehran. Data was collected using Adult social and emotional loneliness scale (ELS; DiTommaso et al., 2004). In the current study, the first experimental group received logotherapy (Frankel, 1963), while the second experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Hayes, 2004). The control group did not get any intervention. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using one-way and multivariate covariance analysis.

Adjusting the pre-test scores revealed a significant difference between the groups of logotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and control in terms of loneliness at the post-test stage (P<0.05), and the two intervention groups compared to the control group had a significant effect on loneliness and its components, But the effectiveness of the two intervention groups was not significantly different (P<0.05).

Acceptance and commitment therapy and logotherapy, despite the use of unique techniques, have efficient and practical origins and features that reduce the feeling of loneliness in the elderly.

Corona virus is one of the viruses that cause respiratory infections. In addition, humans always experience fear and anxiety when faced with situations that are beyond their control.

The purpose of the present study was to predict the anxiety of corona infection based on the cognitive regulation strategies of emotion, religious beliefs and resilience in students.

The descriptive research method is correlation type. The statistical population included all the students of Islamic Azad University, Shahrood branch in the academic year 2019-2020, and 384 students were selected as a sample using available sampling method and according to Karjesi and Morgan's table. Corona Virus Anxiety Questionnaires (2019), Cognitive Emotion Regulation (2001), Allport and Ross Religious Beliefs (1967) and Connor and Davidson Resilience (2003) have been used. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used with SPSS software version 26.

Based on the results, there is a negative relationship between cognitive emotion regulation and resilience (P<0.05) and a positive and significant relationship with religious orientation (P<0.05). Also, the regression analysis showed that 29.6% of the variance of the anxiety of contracting corona can be explained based on compatible and incompatible strategies of cognitive emotion regulation, internal and external religious orientation, and resilience.

The results showed that the strategies of cognitive emotion regulation, religious orientation/beliefs and resilience have the ability to predict the anxiety of contracting corona virus in students and can reduce the anxiety of corona virus in students.

 In a successful marriage, many psychological and physical needs can be met in a safe environment. Choosing a mate is the first and most important step in the marriage process. Towards this end, the present study examined the effect of a mental health literacy program on improving emotion regulation and attitudes towards the selection of a mate in individuals on the verge of marriage. 

 The present study applied research in terms of a quasi-experimental research method of pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all girls and boys on the eve of marriage in Shahroud in 1400. The scales of the Mate Selection Attitudes Questionnaire (Shahabi Farahani, 2018) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski and Kraaij, 2006) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using a multivariate analysis of covariance. 

 The results of covariance analysis showed that the mental health literacy program led to the improvement of emotion regulation and attitudes towards choosing a mate in people on the verge of marriage (P<0.01).

Considering the results of this study, it is believed that a mental health literacy program will help not only with emotion regulation but also with modifying mate selection attitudes.

 A successful marriage is essential to the formation of a healthy family. Choosing a spouse is the first and most crucial step in establishing a successful marriage. This study aimed to develop and validate a mental health literacy-based premarital education program.

 To conduct a qualitative inquiry, the current study used the Delphi technique. The statistical population of this study consists of psychologists and premarital counseling professionals. The present study's sample consists of 47 individuals who were recruited using a method of purposive sampling. Using a questionnaire developed by the researchers, the components of the concept of mental health literacy were examined. Using Kendall's coordination coefficient, the level of consensus among Delphi method participants was determined. Then, Lawshe's content validity ratio was utilized to assess the content validity of the program based on this component.

 Seven components of physical and physiological health, mental and cognitive health, emotional and mental health, social and communication health, economic and financial health, spiritual and religious health, and mental health literacy were identified based on the results of two questionnaire stages using the Delphi method. In addition, the results reveal that the value of Kendall's coefficient for all components is 0.29 and the significance level for Kendall's coordination coefficient is 0.05, indicating that there is a significant level of agreement among the Delphi method participants. The index of content ratio (CVR) for the educational program was greater than the value calculated using the Lawshe method (0.85). Therefore, the content validity of the mental health literacy educational program is satisfactory.

 Considering the validity of the educational program, it is recommended that it be implemented in family education centers.

irratability and inability to self-inhibit anger are among the diagnostic criteria of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy based on mindfulness on irritability and self-inhibition of female students with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. was semi-experimental, pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population of this study was all students with disruptive mood dysregulation disorders in the age range of 14-17 years in schools of Baharestan city. Among them, 35 people were selected by available sampling method based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The research instruments for measuring irritability included the Striggerzo et al(2012). Emotional Reactivity Scale Weinberger-Schwartz Questionnaire(1990) for measuring self-restraint. The subjects in the experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 60 minutes under the intervention of mindfulness integrated cognitive behaviore Therapy whit Kelly protocol (2007), and the control group did not receive any intervention. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results of data analysis showed that the experimental group in comparison with the control group in the rate of irritability, decreased and in self-inhibition and their components had a significant increase (P <0.05). According to the findings of the study, mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective in students with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder by reducing irritability and increasing self-restraint.

Nurses with personality traits of perfectionism and death anxiety are at psychological risk. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy based on compassion on death anxiety and perfectionism of nurses with obsessive-compulsive personality traits working in the Corona ward.

The present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up plan, and a control group. The statistical population included the nurses of social security hospitals in Tehran and Alborz in the Corona Department in 2021-2022. The number of 28 nurses working in the Corona Department, who obtained an average score in the personality questionnaire of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.), were selected using convenience sampling and randomly divided into experimental (14 people) and control (13 people) groups.
