Post-COVID-19 neurological sequelae may have a long-term negative impact on cognitive functions and quality of life in recovered patients. Cognitive stimulation based on computer tasks combined with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising approach to address cognitive impairments and consequently improve the quality of life in these individuals. However, research literature on the effectiveness of this combined method has gaps that require further investigation.

This study aimed to compare the impact of cognitive stimulation based on computer tasks with and without transcranial direct current stimulation on the health-related quality of life in recovered COVID-19 patients.

This research was conducted in the form of a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a one-month follow-up. The sample size of the study consisted of 45 patients recovered from covid-19 in Mashhad city, who were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into 3 groups of 15 including computerized cognitive stimulation group, computerized cognitive stimulation combined with single-site anodal electrical stimulation (tDCS) and computerized cognitive stimulation with artificial electrical stimulation (Sham). Participants completed the Weir and Sherburne (1992) SF-36 Health-Based Quality of Life Short Form before and after the intervention. Analysis of variance with repeated measurements and SPSS 24 software were used for data analysis.

Both methods of cognitive stimulation based on computer tasks alone and in combination with (tDCS) increased the average scores of the quality of life and its subscales in those who recovered from the acute stage of covid-19 (p=0.05)and this increase was stable in the one-month follow-up phase. In addition, there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of the two treatments in improving the quality of life.

Computerized cognitive stimulation alone and together with transcranial brain stimulation can lead to improvement of health-related quality of life in those who have recovered from covid-19 disease. This enables us to enhance and update current rehabilitation programs to meet patient needs.

The present study was carried out to investigate the attitudes towards virtual learning and its relationship with job motivation and self-efficacy among physical education teachers in Ahvaz during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method was correlational, and the statistical population consisted of all physical education teachers in districts one to four of Ahvaz during the 2020-2021 academic year. From this population, a sample of 244 teachers was selected using convenient sampling. They were assessed using the Virtual Learning Attitude Questionnaire (Vatanparast et al., 2016), Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk Hoy, 2001), and the Job Motivation Questionnaire (Lodahl & Kejner, 1965). The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and path analysis with SPSS version 22 and AMOS version 20. The results showed that the mean scores for attitudes towards virtual learning, job motivation, and self-efficacy among physical education teachers in Ahvaz were at the expected level. There was a positive and significant relationship between attitudes towards virtual learning and the components of job motivation and self-efficacy. However, there was no significant relationship between attitudes towards virtual learning and the self-confidence component of physical education teachers in Ahvaz. Path analysis results also indicated that the research model had a good fit. The findings of the study demonstrated that positive attitudes towards virtual learning increase job motivation and self-efficacy among physical education teachers in Ahvaz.

In the present study, the psychometric characteristics of knowledge, attitude, practices, and concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccination questionnaire were discussed. The statistical population of the research was the citizens of Tehran, 400 of whom were selected by the available method and answered the questionnaire. In the validity section, the results of exploratory factor analysis using the principal component analysis method showed five main factors, which explained 60.810% of the data variance. Also, all the questions corresponded properly with their respective factors in the questionnaire designed by Kumari et al. (2021). Differential validity was investigated and confirmed by comparison method in known groups, and concurrent validity was also confirmed with significant correlation coefficients between five factors of the questionnaire with attitude towards Covid-19 vaccination (Tavousi et al., 2022). In the reliability section; Cronbach's alpha value was calculated. The results showed that the overall reliability of the scale is 0.77. Cronbach's alpha values were obtained for the scale of awareness, information sources, attitude, use and concern of the Covid-19 vaccine, respectively, 0.61, 0.68, 0.88, 0.74, and 0.85. Also, the item-scale correlation coefficients for all questions were higher than 0.7, which shows that the research tool has good reliability. Therefore, this questionnaire is suitable for assessing knowledge, attitudes, practices and concerns related to acceptance and/or doubt about the Covid-19 vaccine and it is useful for health care workers and researchers.

The Covid-19 virus changes over time and is still present in the world. Therefore, the rate of acceptance of the vaccine and the factors affecting it should be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of personality traits in the relationship between the acceptance rate of corona vaccine and anxiety, depression and stress during the covid-19 pandemic. The current research was descriptive-correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all adults aged 18 to 60 in Tehran, of which 388 (81 men and 257 women) were selected by the simple random method. To collect data, Hexaco short questionnaire, depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire and the knowledge, attitude, application and concerns questionnaire of the Covid-19 vaccine were used. Then the data were analyzed with SPSS (version 24) and AMOSE (version 24) software. The findings showed that anxiety, depression, and stress have an inverse and significant effect on vaccine resistance or acceptance (β=0.15 and P=0.013). This finding was different from the results of some other researches. It was expected that the acceptance rate of the vaccine would increase with the increase of fear, anxiety and stress. However, in our study it decreased. On the other hand, the results of this research showed that anxiety, depression and stress have a positive and significant effect on personality traits (β=0.41 and P<0.001). Also, the resistance or acceptance of the Covid-19 vaccine was related to anxiety, depression, and stress, and this relationship was significant and inverse and consistent with the results of other studies. Another finding of this research indicated the existence of a relationship between personality traits and vaccine resistance or acceptance (β=0.13 and P=0.021), the results of which were not consistent with some other studies. Generally, the results indicate that the variable of personality traits can play a mediating role (P=0.038) in relation to anxiety, depression, stress resistance or vaccine acceptance. In fact, some personality traits such as extroversion, agreeableness, openness to experience and conscientiousness had less anxiety and stress. Therefore, they managed themselves better during the Covid-19 crisis. On the other hand, people who had higher anxiety and stress were more biased towards information in crisis situations and resisted accepting the Covid-19 vaccine. However, resistance to accepting the Covid-19 vaccine was different in different people. In fact, according to this research, people who had higher stress, anxiety and depression usually had to resist accepting the Covid-19 vaccine. But if they were part of agreeable and negative excitable personality traits, they would show willingness to receive the Covid-19 vaccine. On the other hand, extroverts, who were expected to be willing to accept the Covid-19 vaccine, resisted accepting it.

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of William Moulton Marston’s DISC model intervention. Regarding the educational adaptation of adolescents who are Covid-19 patients. The statistical population consisted of adolescents aged 13 to 18 who resided in Naghadeh and had a family member with Covid-19 in 2021. The research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design, with control groups, pre-test, and post-test. The statistical sample size consisted of 40 individuals from the statistical population, 20 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group. These individuals were randomly assigned to the control and experimental groups using the available sampling procedure. The control group did not receive any treatment, while the experimental group underwent ten 90-minute sessions in accordance with William Moulton Marston’s DISC model. Data was collected using the Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS) in this study. The MANCOVA analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. After the DISC intervention, the experimental group’s mean level of educational adjustment decreased markedly in comparison to the control group (P<0.01). According to the results of this study, the DISC model intervention improves the educational adjustment of adolescents who are Covid-19 patients.

The objective of this research was to investigate the information search behavior of Iranians on the Internet during the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine the relationship between the peak of the disease and the searches performed on the Internet. The purpose of this research was fundamental, and the research method was descriptive. The statistical population is the searches performed by Iranians from February 2020 to April 2022, and the investigated sample was the searched concepts related to anxiety and mental health. The first part of the data consisted of the queries that were extracted from the Google Trends website in December 2022. The second part, which consisted of the daily statistics of death and new infections, was obtained from the Johns Hopkins University website. Python version 3.12 was employed to conduct data analysis, which included the Granger causality test and Pearson correlation. The results indicate that the search for anxiety-related concepts has increased at the beginning of the epidemic. The quantity of searches for anxiety concepts at the beginning of the epidemic is positively and significantly correlated with the number of deaths caused by the disease. Consequently, the quantity of anxiety searches should increase over a period of a few days as the number of deaths increases. These searches diminished as the number of deaths decreased; however, the trend of anxiety searches ceased to be correlated with the number of deaths after a few months. The search for psychological treatment was modest at the onset of the epidemic; however, it increased after nine months, and the number of deaths also increased, prompting an increase in these searches. The results show that internet inquiries can be a useful tool for monitoring community concerns.

This study was conducted to assess the impact of job insecurity and the level of social support perceived on the stress levels of self-employed individuals amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study sampled 150 self-employed persons from Ardabil through convenience sampling method. The instruments employed for data gathering were the Job Stress Questionnaire (JSQ), Job Security Questionnaire (JSQ), and Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (PSSQ). Analytical procedures involved Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis. The findings indicated that familial social support (β=-0.36), economic contentment (β=-0.34), and the selection of an appropriate occupation (β=-0.17) significantly forecasted job-related stress. These factors accounted for 38% variance in job stress levels. The study concludes that enhanced perceptions of job security and social support appear to mitigate stress among self-employed individuals. This factor gains heightened significance during difficult periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The aim of the current research is to understand the lived experience of nurses in the corona ward and to determine the strategies they use when facing burnout. The population of this research includes nurses from the corona department of hospitals affiliated to Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. The present qualitative research was conducted in the first half of 1401. The research sample was selected by non-random sampling method (purposive sampling) and after identifying nurses with moderate to high burnout, 10 people were finally selected according to the saturation of opinions. First, through semi-structured interviews, the data about nurses' experiences were collected. Job burnout and coping strategies were collected and converted into textual data after recording each interview. These data were analyzed with Claysey's seven-stage content analysis method. In the open coding stage, 46 codes were extracted, which were reduced to 15 codes in the axial coding stage. Finally, 4 main themes include strategies based on on the family, including the sub-themes of emotional support of the family, emotional support of friends and social groups, and accepting help from the family, individual-based strategies, including creating a positive attitude, work-life balance, healthy sports and recreation, changing majors and departments, empowerment and collaborative experiences and referring to psychologists and psychiatrists, spirituality-based strategies including faith and heart belief and values governing the profession and organization-based strategies including instrumental support, reducing work density, providing preventive and therapeutic counseling services, paying attention to Welfare facilities and encouragement of employees were identified. Nurses' strategies are different when facing burnout. Emotional support from close family plays an important role in controlling job burnout components and they are a strong source of support in critical situations. Individual strategies of nurses are highly effective in controlling stressful factors caused by job burnout. Strategies based on spirituality by targeting nursing actions can make it easier for nurses to bear problems, and strategies based on organization are also effective in reducing job burnout by motivating nurses. Coping strategies identified as effective strategies can be effective in the process of adapting nurses to the consequences of job burnout and improving the quality of their lives.

The current study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on catastrophizing and mental well-being in people who have recovered from COVID-19. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all those who recovered from the Covid-19 disease who were discharged from Imam Reza (AS) hospital in Mashhad in the second quarter of 2021, among them there were 24 people, 12 in the control group and 12 in the control group. The experimental group was selected through an available sampling method and randomly placed in two groups. The research tools include Sullivan et al's Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS, 1995) and Keyes and Magyarmo's Subjective Wellbeing Scale (SWS, 2003), and the acceptance and commitment treatment protocol by Hayes et al. (2006) in 8 sessions of 90 minutes, twice a week as a group for the experimental group Done. Accomplished. To analyze the data, the multivariate covariance test (MANCOVA) was used. The findings of the research showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference at the level of 0.05 between the post-test mean of catastrophizing and mental well-being in the two experimental and control groups. As a result, treatment based on acceptance and commitment can be considered an effective intervention for those who have recovered from the Covid-19 period.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the Effectiveness of Dweck’s Mindset intervention on negative orientation towards problem and hopelessness in high school students. The present study is an applied type and the project’s plan was a quasi-experimental study(pretest-posttest) and a control group. The statistical population consisted high school students (female) in Isfahan who were selected using multi-stage random sampling method. Negative Orientation Towards Problem questionnaire(NPOQ) and The Beck Hopelessness Scale(BHS) were research tools. 183 students completed the questionnaires. In the first screening step, 50 students were selected by purposive sampling. 30 students were randomly placed in the second step into experimental(n=15) and control groups(n=15). The experimental group received 8 sessions. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA by SPSS-23. There was a significant difference between experimental and control groups in the negative orientation towards problem(P<0.01) and Dweck’s Mind Set reduced that. But in the hopelessness Scale, it has only been effective on the dimensions of despair in achieving desires and negative expectations of the future. Based on the results the motivational Dweck’s MindSet intervention has been affected on diminish negative orientation to the problem, negative expectations of the future and hope in achieving the desires.

The primary objective of this research was to ascertain the extent to which emotion regulation acts as a mediator between covid-19 anxiety and students' HRQoL. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Guilan province in the winter of 2021, involving 18,000 students. A total of 369 students wer​e selected at random and provided their responses voluntarily on three scales: the Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36), the Emotion Regulation Skills Questionnaire (ERSQ), and the online-adjusted Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS). The AMOS-24 software was utilized to conduct the data processing, employing the Pearson correlation coefficient and SEM technique. A statistically significant negative relationship was observed between anxiety related to the coronavirus and both HRQoL and emotion. A good fit was obtained by the mediator model (CFI = 0.944, RMSEA = 0.074). The results of the bootstrap analysis conducted using the MACRO program of SPSS-24 software indicate that there is no significant mediating effect of emotion regulation on the relationship between corona disease anxiety and HRQoL (p = 0.1998). The findings suggest that the important role of anxiety on HRQoL be considered and therapists and those in charge of macro-health policies put on the agenda the implementation of enterprises in the face with health conditions, the issue of coping with anxiety in their outcomes.
