Mindfulness interventions were shown to be effective in reducing perceived stress in several conditions. These effects were also found in online mindfulness-based training, especially in teenagers. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of virtual mindfulness-based stress training in reducing the anxiety of adolescents in rehabilitation centers during the COVID-19. This is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and posttest design with a control group on 30 teenagers of Zahedan Prison rehabilitation centers from September 2019 to December 2019. The sampling method was simple random using Random Allocation software, so that among the teenagers, 30 people were randomly allocated into an intervention group (with virtual mindfulness training n=15) and control group (with no intervention n=15). The participants completed the STAI-Y anxiety questionnaire one day before and 8 weeks after the intervention. Statistical analysis of the data was done through SPSS 23 software using ANCOVA test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the control and intervention groups (P=0.001) in such a way that stress training based on mindfulness in a virtual way had a direct and significant effect on reducing anxiety. Considering that teenagers are a vulnerable group in the society, mindfulness training in a virtual way is a suitable approach to reducing subsequent harm, including anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to explain the correlation between virtual education and mobile learning on students\' academic self-disability during the Covid-19 pandemic period. The statistical population includes all primary school students in Zabol city. Using Cochran\'s formula and Morgan table and cluster random sampling method, 277 people were selected as the research sample. Data were collected using the Jones and Rudwalt (1982) Self-Disability Scale (1982), Mobile Learning Awareness Questionnaire and Virtual Learning Questionnaire. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS25. Virtual education has a positive and significant relationship. The intensity of this relationship is very strong and virtual education has the power to predict academic self-disability (P≥0.05). There is also no significant relationship between students\' academic self-disability and mobile learning, the intensity of this relationship is very strong and mobile learning does not have the power to predict academic self-disability (P <0.05). They are more likely to be academically disabled and therefore less inclined to participate in the classroom, so these students turn to the environment outside the classroom for fun, resulting in severe academic failure.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy on self-control and social harms of female students in less privileged areas. The research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all female students from less privileged areas in the academic year 2021-22 with a number of 370 people. Using available sampling method, 30 people were selected as samples and randomly placed in two groups of 15 people (experimental and control). Research tools included self-control questionnaires (Ali Akbari Dehkordi et al., 2014) and social harms (Aghaei and Teimurtash, 2016). Monotheistic integrated therapy was offered to the members of the experimental group in 12 1-hour sessions and two sessions per week, but the control group did not receive any intervention during the experiment. The data were analyzed using the multivariate covariance analysis method and using the spss26 software package at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the research showed that monotheistic treatment was effective on students' self-control and social harms (P<0.001). These results show the effectiveness of monotheistic integrated therapy in reducing social harms and factors related to it, and due to its alignment with Iranian-Islamic culture, it can be used in educational and therapeutic centers.

 The purpose of this study is investigating the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction training in reducing post-traumatic stress and its effects at the peak of the COVID-19 epidemic in abused and unattended adolescents in correctional centers.

 The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design in a control group. The statistical population of the present study consisted of all abused and unaccompanied adolescents in correctional centers. The sampling method was convenient, and 30 adolescents were selected based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 (experimental and control). Withers et al.'s (1993) list of post-traumatic stress disorder was used to collect data.

 For statistical analysis of data, covariance analysis and independent t-test were used with the help of SPSS software. The results showed a significant difference between the control and experimental groups (P < 0.05) in such a way that the stress reduction training based on stress mindfulness after the accident had a direct and significant effect at the 95% confidence level.

 Considering that badly-supervised and unsupervised teenagers are a vulnerable segment of society, mindfulness training is a suitable way to reduce future harm.

 The long-term outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), accompanied by high mortality rates, hysteria, and economic pressures, has profound, irreversible psychological effects worldwide.

 This study compared mental health and post-traumatic impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak in the peak period of the pandemic in five regions of Iran.

 A web-based cross-sectional survey was carried out at the peak of the pandemic using free Google Forms® software. A snowball sampling method focused on the general public in the north east-west, central part, and south east-west of Iran was utilized from March 24 to 29th of 2020. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) were applied as data collection tools.

 The current study included 749 respondents from all provinces in Iran. Most of the participants were from the southeast and the central part of Iran and stayed at home for about 20 to 24 hours during COVID-19 outbreak. The results of MANOVA indicated that there were no significant differences between the means of mental disorders and the impacts of COVID-19 outbreak in these five regions (F = 1.188, Wilks’ Lambda = 0.97, P ≥ 0.05). Nevertheless, one-sample test showed that the IES-R mean score was above the cut-off point, indicating the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in all regions of Iran (t = 8.025, P ≤ 0.05, 95% CI: 3.22 to 5.31).

 As a result of this study that shows the presence of PTSD symptoms in all regions, mental health care is a necessity and should be provided to the general public so that psychologists and mental health teams have to provide psychological services in-person or online method.

 Since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, which has exponentially spread across the world, the number of cases and deaths in Iran has been higher than in other Middle Eastern countries. This has brought about and will lead to unprecedented psychological and emotional consequences.

 This study aimed to investigate the psychological impacts of COVID-19 on the general public's emotional state in Iran.

 An online survey was conducted from March 24-26. Participants were selected using a snowball sampling technique. The online survey collected information on demographic data. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were used to collect data.

 In total, 428 respondents from 62 cities participated in this study. The linear regression analysis showed a significant association between the COVID-19 outbreak and the negative general public's emotional state in Iran, indicating that the COVID-19 outbreak increased negative states (P < 0.05).

 The COVID-19 outbreak has caused a direct and effective impact on all aspects of life. Negative emotions are the main consequence of the outbreak. So mental health teams should be formed in the media to improve the emotions of the general public by providing online or in-person psychological services with complete and updated treatment information and programs.

Premenstrual syndrome is among the most prevalent disorders in reproductive age, which significantly disrupts women’s lives. Thus, it is necessary to explore this issue further. Females with premenstrual syndrome have to cope with numerous biopsychological; accordingly, some stress–coping approaches could improve these people’s ability to reduce stress and adapt to stressful situations. One of these approaches is Cognitive–Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) therapy that includes cognitive–behavioral therapy, coping skills training, techniques for improving social support, and training various relaxation techniques, like meditation. Previous studies supported the effectiveness of CBSM therapy on promoting various negative psychological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and stress. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of CBSM therapy on premenstrual syndrome symptoms and alexithymia.

This was a quasi–experimental study with a pretest–posttest and a one–month follow–up, as well as a control group design. The study population consisted of students living in Iran Zamin females dormitory in Zahedan City, Iran, in October 2017 (N=115 people). In total, 83 subjects were selected using a targeted sampling method (based on the study inclusion criteria). The premenstrual syndrome scale was presented during two consecutive monthly cycles for diagnosis purposes; only 67 people received a diagnosis of the premenstrual syndrome. Finally, after implementing the alexithymia questionnaire as a pretest and a screening test, scores higher than the average (≥61), and examining the study inclusion criteria, 26 people were selected as the final sample. Then, they were randomly assigned to two identical groups of test and control (each including 13 people). The study inclusion criteria were obtaining average to severe levels (scores 33 to 96) on both questionnaires, having a minimum age of 18–40 years, having at least a diploma degree, not having any specific biopsychological conditions, not taking any hormonal and psychiatric drugs, having regular menstrual cycles, and providing consent forms to participate in the study. After selecting the study subjects, the study purpose was explained to them to observe ethical considerations. Besides, they were assured that the information relating to them would remain completely confidential. The experimental group received 10 sessions of the CBSM therapy with a mean time of 120–150 minutes (two sessions per week); however, the control group received no interventions. The Delara Premenstrual Syndrome Scale and the Bagby Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) were used to collecting data. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using a repeated–measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at α=0.05. 

The mean and standard deviation age of the experimental and control groups were 26.15±5.713 and 28±6.311 years, respectively. Furthermore, 8(61.5%) subjects in the experimental group and 6 (46.2%) in the control group had undergraduate degrees, 5 (38.5%) individuals in the experimental group and 6 (46.2%) in the control group had master’s degrees, and only 1 (7.7%) person in the control group had a doctorate. The pretest scores of psycho–behavioral and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and alexithymia in the experimental group significantly decreased after receiving the CBSM therapy, compared to the controls (p<0.001). Such a decrease in the mean scores of the intervention group over time indicated the effectiveness of this intervention on improving the psycho–behavioral and physical symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and alexithymia.

The obtained data suggested the effectiveness of CBSM therapy on reducing the premenstrual syndrome symptoms and alexithymia in students. Thus, CBSM therapy is an effective intervention to reduce the biopsychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and alexithymia. Therefore, due to drug complications and drug dependence in these women, it is recommended that this intervention be used for people with this syndrome by referring them to counseling and psychological centers.
