Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a common mental health threat among youth and adolescents with various etiology factors. Extensive treatments have been proposed for this disorder, but there is a need for a therapeutic package with good efficiency and effectiveness. This study aimed to develop and validate a process-based therapeutic package for patients with NSSI disorder.
This was an applied study in terms of objective and qualitative in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the study consisted of psychology experts in Tehran, Iran in 2022. Twenty-three effective university professors who worked in this domain were selected via purposive selection sampling. The design and validation of the program were performed in four stages and 14 steps: reviewing the theoretical background and existing packages, developing the content of the package, validating it, and explaining the validation.
Grounded theory as a qualitative method was used to conceptualize the content. Investigator triangulation facilitated the data validation. Percent agreement of inner raters and content validity index (CVI) were used for assessment reliability and validity. The reliability of the program based on the percent agreement of inner rater was 0.98; CVR and CVI of all the sessions were 0.93 and 0.99, respectively.
This study proposed process-based therapy package for non-suicidal self-injury disorder that is a reliable and valid comprehensive psychological therapy. This package is suggested to be used by expert in this domain to enhance the effectiveness of it.

This study aimed to investigate the Psychopathological Explanation of Obesity in Adolescents Girls based on Sensory Processing Patterns. The research method was descriptive and used a causal-comparative design and the sample consisted of 15 to 19-year-old girls living in Tehran. Participants in this study consisted of 50 girls whose body mass index was above 95 percentiles for the obese group and 50 girls with BMI between 25 and 75 percentiles for the normal-weight group (according to the World Health Organization’s tables illustrating cut-offs and BMI domains). Adolescents/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown & Dunn, 2002) was chosen as the data collecting instrument. Results from the MANOVA and chi-square test showed that the sensory avoiding pattern was a pattern with the most frequency and higher mean among obese adolescents. The sensory sensitivity style demonstrated a marginally significant difference between the two groups. The sensory seeking style was the dominant pattern in the non-obese group. The low registration style was not dominant in any of the groups. Findings showed that by identifying sensory processing patterns, the threshold of receiving stimuli, and common way of responding, predicting of behavioral patterns, and designing suitable strategies could be attainable.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of natived mindfulness based cognitive training (NMBCT) and cognitive - behavioral training (CBT) on dysfunctional attitude and job affects in employees. In this research، using experimental method، 54 employees were selected and randomly assigned into the 2 experimental groups and control (18 per a group)، and were assessed in pre-test، post-test and follow up by the Dysfunctional Attitudes scale (Beck and Weiss man، (1980) and Job Affects questioner (Fox and Spector، 1999). The first experimental group received 8 sessions of natived mindfulness based cognitive training (NMBCT) for Iranian culture، while the second experimental group received 8 sessions of cognitive-behavioral training (CBT)، each session took 120 minutes. The results showed that no significant difference between experimental and control groups in dysfunctional attitudes and job affects in pre - test. But revealed that NMBCT and CBT methods were effective in reducing dysfunctional attitudes and enhancing job affects، as compared with the control group in post - test and follow up (P£0. 01). In addition، NMBCT was found to be more effective in enhancement of job affects، than the CBT method (P£0. 01).

The purpose of this research was to study the relationship of job stress with blood pressure, chronic pain and counter service behaviors by considering the mediating role of mindfulness, dysfunctional attitudes and job affects. The method was correlation (strucural equation modeling). A sample included 233 employees of 4 service companies in Chahar Mahal va Bakhtiyari Province were selected by relative stratified random sampling, and completed the instruments comprised of Job Stress (Health and Safety Institute, 1999), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown and Ryan, 2003), Dysfunctional Attitudes (Beck and Weissman, 1980), Job Related Affects (Fox and Spector, 1999), Chronic Pains (Kerns et al., 1985), and Counter Service Behaviors (Jalali, 2013/ 1392s.c.). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation regression analysis. The results revealed that job stress accounted for 57 percent of variances of mindfulness, job stress and mindfulness, 37 percent of variances of dysfunctional attitude, job stress, mindfulness and dysfunctional attitudes, and 54 percent of variances of job affects (P<0.01). Mediation Mindfulness played the partial mediator role in the relationships of job stress with dysfunctional attitudes and job affects (P<0.01). The research final model of fitness indices indicated that the model was convenient.

Considering the importance of studying the factors affecting organ transplantation in Iran, the present research aims at examining the factor structure, reliability and validity of the organ transplantation attitude scale. The method of research was descriptive survey. A sample of 210 students, who were selected using multistage cluster sampling, completed the questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was assessed using content validity, construct validity and factorial validity. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined through Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The pattern of correlation coefficients between the subscales indicated a good construct validity of the scale. The results of exploratory-confirmatory factor analysis were also indicative of good and acceptable fit of items. Moreover, the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for all subscales and total scale were desirable regarding psychometric properties, and reliability coefficient was also good. Considering the results of the study, the scale constructed in the Iranian society can be said to have good validity and reliability. It can be used to assess the factors influencing organ transplantation in Iran.
