The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress inoculation on coping skills and quality of life among incompatible couples. 

In this study, among the incompatible couples referred to a counseling center in Kazerun city, Iran, twenty-four couples were selected and they were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received ten sessions of the stress inoculation program and the control group was on the waiting list. The research instruments included Andler and Parker's coping styles questionnaire, Cohen's perceived stress, and quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). Data analyzed through SPSS-18 and covariance method.

The results indicated that cognitive-behavioral training effectively relieves stress and improves couples' quality of life (P= 0.001). This approach also increased the coping styles for couples (P= 0.001). 

It seems that stress inoculation training can increase quality of life among incompatible couples by increasing problem-solving coping styles.

In the care and treatment of patients in need of dialysis, spiritual experiences as a method of problem-solving in crises and problems can facilitate adaptation to dialysis. This study investigated the mediating role of spiritual experiences with ego strength on the adaptation to dialysis.

The statistical population included all patients in need of dialysis referred to the Educational-Research Center of Abu Ali Sina Hospital in Shiraz City, Iran, in 2019. Out of them, 120 patients were selected by a convenience sampling method. The study data were collected through the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), ego strength, and adaptation to disease. Then, the obtained data were analyzed based on structural equations in Amos v. 21 software.

The findings showed that ego strength is significant with spiritual experiences and adaptation to dialysis. But the relationship between spiritual experiences and adaptation to dialysis is not significant. Also, the direct and indirect effects of the variables showed that ego strength as a predictor variable and spiritual experiences as a mediating variable could predict adaptation to dialysis (P<0.01). But the ego strength through spiritual experiences cannot predict adaptation to dialysis.

According to the research findings, ego strength can predict disease adaptation in dialysis patients, but daily spiritual experiences cannot lead to disease adaptation in dialysis patients.

Frequent exposure of nurses to painful and excruciating conditions of patients in different wards can lead to a decrease in the quality of their professional life, which can lead to psychological trauma, such as a decline in the quality of care and patient care outcomes.

The statistical population of this study included all the nurses in Bushehr city in 2017-2018. 100 nurses from 3 hospitals were selected from among them by random cluster sampling method. Then the data were collected via resilience scale, positive and negative affect scale and quality of work life scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS-21 software and person correlation coefficient and multiple regression method.

Findings showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between resilience and positive affect variables with quality of work life and a negative and significant relationship between negative affect and quality of work life (p<0.001). The results of the regression analysis also showed that resilience and positive and negative affect variables plays a role in predicting 32% of variance of quality of work life variable (p<0.001).

The results of this study indicate that, in the nursing community, applying programs to increase the nurses resilience and their positive affect can increase their mental health and improve their quality of working life.

The present study aims at determining the relationship between parental child abuse and psychological hardiness and resilience in students under the supervision of the welfare department.

In order to gather the data, the Connor resilience questionnaire, Ahvaz psychological hardiness and childhood Trauma Questionaire (CTQ) were used and then they were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and bivariate regression.

The results are indicative of being a negative and significant relationship (p <0 /001) between parental child abuse psychological hardiness and resilience.  Stepwise regression showed that the role of child physical abuse is greater than other variables. Also, emotional abuse plays a more significant role in children’s resilience compared to other variables.

Dysfunctional and undesirable relationships in families and practicing wrong educational acts such as assault, deprivation, child abuse and violence against children lead to variability in mental health and weakness in resilience and controlling power.

Results of multiple regression showed that hope and self-efficacy of managers had a significant share in the prediction of the variable of work life quality of nurses (P=0.01). In addition, the variable of optimism of nurses only predicted the satisfaction of clients (P=0.01). Improving the psychological capital of managers will increase the value added in the performance of nurses, provision of suitable services, and increased satisfaction of clients.
