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

This study aimed to provide a causal model of personality traits and meaning in life with post-traumatic growth, with a mediating role of psychological resilience in veterans.

The method of this research is descriptive-correlational. Data analysis is done through path analysis and structural equations. The statistical population of the study was all veterans under the support of the Sabzevar Martyr Foundation in 2021 and 320 subjects were selected as a sample. To collect data, the post-traumatic growth inventory, the brief HEXACO inventory, the meaning in life questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale were used. All data analyzes were performed by SPSS 24 and LISREL 8.8 software.

The proposed model had a good fit (GFI: 0.86, CFI: 0.92).  Also, personality traits and meaning in life, directly and indirectly, affected post-traumatic growth.

This model can be a good model for identifying the factors involved in the post-traumatic growth of veterans and the results of this study can be used for planning to increase post-traumatic growth.

Post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans is associated with low levels of spiritual well-being. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between spiritual well-being of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and experimental avoidance.

In this descriptive study, 200 veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, who were hospitalized and treated in Isar Psychiatric Hospital in Ardabil in 2020, were selected as a purposive sample and examined. Paloutzian and Ellisonchr('39')s Spiritual Well-being Questionnaire, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Second Version of Bond et al.-, and the Sherer and Maddux Self-Efficacy Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.

Based on the results, the causal model of the relationship between experimental avoidance, self-efficacy, and spiritual well-being in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder was confirmed based on various fitting indicators. Experimental avoidance (β=-0.26, p<0.001) and self-efficacy (β=0.69, p<0.001) had a direct effect on the spiritual well-being of veterans with stress disorder. Also, experimental avoidance through self-efficacy had an indirect effect on the spiritual well-being of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (β=0.504, p<0.001).

In general, the results showed that experimental avoidance directly and indirectly and mediated by self-efficacy play a role in the level of spiritual well-being of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. It is recommended to hold training workshops to reduce experimental avoidance and increase self-efficacy and awareness of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder of the effects of spiritual well-being on their quality of life.

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of brain/behavioral systems and temperament and character in predicting psychopathy in students with conduct disorder. This study was correlational and the sample consisted of 600 high school students during the 2016-2017 academic year who were enrolled in high schools in Ardabil and were selected through cluster random sampling. Then, among these participants, 105 students who had a cut-off point on the conduct disorder scale of more than 70 were selected. Finally, the data of 97 participants who had completely answered the questionnaires were entered into SPSS, Ver. 21. To collect data, questionnaires of Conduct Disorder Questionnaire developed by Shahrivari et al., Psychopathy of Lynam et al., Brain/Behavioral Systems Inventory of White and Carver, and the Temperament and Character Inventory of Cloninger were used. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the psychopathy has positive correlation with components of novelty seeking and BAS (p < .01) but it has negative correlation with components of harm avoidance, self-directiveness, cooperativeness and BIS (p < .01). The results of regression showed that novelty seeking, temperament, and BAS can predict the psychopathy in students with conduct disorder. It seems that in students with conduct disorder symptoms, the more active the activation system is, the more those cases are looking for innovation and risk.

The aim of this research was to study the role of school organizational culture and self-regulation in anticipating achievement motivation of students. The research method was descriptive by correlation coefficients. The population was all the high school students in Parsabad city in academic year of 1394-1395 (N = 1532). The sample included 120 students who were selected by random cluster sampling. The school culture questionnaire, self-regulation questionnaire and achievement motivation questionnaire were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by correlation coefficients of Pearson and multiple regression. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between achievement motivation with school organizational culture components of therelationship between students and teachers (r = 0.44), didactic occasions (r = 0.49), expectations (r = 0.37) and self-regulation (p >0.01(. The results of regression analyses showed that 39% of all the variance of achievement motivation was predicted by school organizational culture and 37% of it was determined by self-regulation. These results have some suggestions to counselors, managers and all education system agents to obviate psychical and educational problems of the students and also for advancement of their achievement motivation.
