Examining the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of mental health including psychological well-being and psychological distress was the first objective of the present study. The second objective of the present study was to investigate the moderating role of spiritual health and ego-strength on the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and mental health. Two hundred and sixty four volunteer students (122 boys, 142 girls) from the universities in Tehran participated in the present study. All participants were asked to complete Spiritual/Religious Perfectionism Scale, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Ego-Strength Scale, and Mental Health Inventory. The results revealed a significant positive correlation between spiritual/religious perfectionism and measures of religious well-being, existential well-being, ego strenght, and psychological well-being, as well as a significant negative correlation between spiritual/religious perfectionism and psychological distress. Spiritual health as well as ego-strength showed a significant positive and negative correlation with psychological well-being and psychological distress, respectively. Results of path analysis showed that religious well-being, existential well-being, and ego strength plaid a moderating role on the relationship between spiritual/religious perfectionism and mental health. It can be concluded that spiritual/religious perfectionism is one of the determinants of mental health. Such determinant role is further supported by a positive correlation detected between spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of spiritual health and ego-strength. Spiritual/religious perfectionism, as a new conceptualization of perfectionism separate from nonspiritual/nonreligious perfectionism, is confirmed by significant correlations between Spiritual/religious perfectionism and indices of mental health, spiritual health, and ego-strength in the present study.

Numerous studies have investigated nurses chr('39')experience of stress and resiliency, but research that has explored nurseschr('39') experience of resilience and stress in the context of the field-dependent theory method has been neglected.

To explain the nurseschr('39') experience of stress and resilience in the context of field-dependent theory.

The study was a qualitative study based on Glazier method. The statistical population of the study consisted of all the heads of Shohadaye Tajrish hospital in Tehran in year 1398. Fifteen individuals were selected using purposive sampling method. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews until theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed using open, axial and selective coding.

from the participantschr('39') point of view, five main factors related to nurseschr('39') stressfulness emerged in the hospital environment that could reflect nurseschr('39') perceptions of stressors and resiliency factors, including organizational justice perception, Interpersonal factors, environmental factors, patient factors, and family factors.

According to the results, factors affecting the promotion of resilience of nurses include coping strategies, conflict management strategies, error handling strategies, perceived personal resources, and job-related factors

Diabetes is one of the common chronic diseases in modern societies and self-care behaviors consider as one of the most important factors in controlling this disease. Regarding the impact of psychological factors on adherence to self-care behaviors, the current study aimed to predict self-care behaviors, based on goal setting skill and perceived stress of patients with type 2 diabetes.

In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, a total of 190 type 2 diabetic patients, referred to Kashan Diabetes Center and private clinics, were selected, using convenience sampling. For data collection, the participants completed the purpose in life questionnaire, perceived stress questionnaire, and self-care behavior questionnaire. The collected data were then analyzed, using Pearson’s correlation coefficient test and stepwise multiple regression analysis.

According to the present results, goal setting and perceived stress could not independently predict self-care behaviors in diabetic patients. However, the interaction effect of these variables could successfully predict these behaviors (P<0.01).

Our findings suggest that, by improving goal setting skill and perceived stress of patients with diabetes, we can improve their self-care behaviors.
