Suicide represents a significant mental health challenge. Therefore, this study aims to establish a structural model of suicide tendencies based on ego strength, with the employment status mediating this relationship among divorced women.

This research adopts an applicative approach using correlational analysis through structural equations modeling. The statistical population comprises divorced women covered by the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee of Isfahan in 2023. Districts 2 and 3 were chosen from 5 districts using multistage sampling. A total of 270 women were selected based on Morgan and Krejcie's Table and minimum sample adequacy criteria (Smart PLS3). After excluding distorted questionnaires, 250 questionnaires were analyzed. The research instruments included the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (Beck, 1961) and the Psychosocial Inventory of Ego Strengths (Markstrom et al., 1997).

The findings demonstrate the significant effect of ego strength on suicidal tendencies (p ≤ 0.001, β = -0.455). Moreover, ego strength significantly and directly influences suicidal tendencies in both divorced housewives (p ≤ 0.001, β = -0.637) and divorced working women (p ≤ 0.001, β = -0.311). Multi-group analysis comparing the coefficients of ego strength on suicidal tendencies in both groups revealed a significant difference (0.326, p ≤ 0.001), indicating the mediating role of employment status in the relationship between ego strength and suicidal tendencies.

The significant mediating role of employment status suggests that reducing suicidal tendencies among divorced women can be achieved by creating suitable job opportunities through the Committee.

The present research aims to study the effect of employment status, marital status, education level, intensity of disability and gender on the total rate of mental health as well as physical symptoms, anxiety, social maladjustment, and depression in physically disabled persons in Isfahan city. The research method was that of causal-comparative. The statistical population included all disabled people in Isfahan, from among which 100 subjects were randomly selected. The 28-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used to assess the psychological status of the participants. The results of MANOVA showed that employment status significantly affected the total score of GHQ (P<0.01), physical symptoms (P<0.05), and anxiety (P<0.05). Also, marital status significantly affected the total score of GHQ (P<0.05) and depression (P.0.01). However, the education level, intensity of disability, and gender had no significant effect on total score of GHQ, physical symptoms, anxiety, social maladjustment, and depression variables. The research findings suggest that physically disabled people should be provided with the appropriate opportunities for marriage and employment, so that their psychological status can be improved.

The level of anger in mothers of mentally retarded and slow learning children was compared based on their level of education and employment status. 100 mothers of slow learners and trainable mentally retarded children com- pleted the Multidimensional Anger Inventory (Siegel, 1986) included anger arousal, anger eliciting situations, hostile outlook, anger-out, and anger-in subscales and a demogra- phic information questionnaire. Results of a two-way ANOVA showed that academic educated mothers experienced lower levels of anger arousal and anger-in than nonacademic edu- cated ones.

The subjects consisted of members of Isfahani Society of the Disabled who had been randomly selected. To assess the mental health of the physically disabled, the General Health questionnaire (GHQ -) was used. The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that employment status can significantly predict the rate of mental health in the physically disabled (p=) and adding the marital status variable to employment status variable increases significantly the predicting power of their mental health (p=) but adding any one ok education degree of disability and gender variables to the employment status and marital status variables can not increase significantly the predicting power of the mental health in the physically disabled.
