Due to the higher prevalence of coronavirus and also the increase in psychological consequences such as anxiety and Somatization symptoms in nurses, the present study aimed to investigate The Role of Mentalization, Insecure Attachment, and Emotional Dysregulation in Predicting Somatization Symptoms and coronavirus anxiety In Nurses during the Corona Epidemic.

The method of this study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study was all nurses working in hospitals in Karaj in 1400, of whom 220 participated online through virtual networks. Data were collected from the Corona Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Adult Attachment Inventory, PHQ-15 Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale was used. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis in SPSS-24 software.

The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between mentalization (uncertainty), insecure attachment and Emotional Dysregulation with Somatization symptoms in nurses. There is a negative and significant relationship between mentalization (confidence) and Somatization Symptoms in nurses. There is a positive and significant relationship between mentalization (insecurity), insecure attachment and emotion dysregulation with coronavirus anxiety in nurses. There is a negative and significant relationship between mentalization (confidence) and coronavirus anxiety in nurses. The results of multiple regression analysis also revealed that 57.9% of the variance of Somatization Symptoms and 55.6% of the variance of coronavirus anxiety in nurses can be explained by mentalization, insecure attachment and Emotional Dysregulation.

According to the results, mentalization interventions, attachment-based training and emotional regulation training can be used to reduce nurses' Somatization symptoms and anxiety.

One of the most common problems in the general population is somatization symptoms. Therefore, identifying the factors that play a role in causing these symptoms will be effective in preventing their occurrence. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between object relations patterns and somatization symptoms mediated by alexithymia.

The method of this research was descriptive modeling. For this purpose, 295 people living in Semnan in the age range of 18 to 60 years were selected by convenience sampling method and answered the questionnaires of Bell Object Relations, somatization symptoms (PHQ-15), and Toronto Alexithymia with an internet survey in February and March 2021. Data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test and structural equation modeling.

The results showed that this model has a good fitness, and there was a significant positive relationship (p<0.05) between object relations patterns and somatization symptoms (T= 3.601, β= 0.538) and alexithymia (T=11.756, β= 0.800), but no significant relationship was observed between somatization symptoms and alexithymia (T=0.816, β=0.110) and as a result, the mediating role of alexithymia in data analysis was not significant (p>0.05).

These findings show that by identifying the object relations patterns in individuals, it is possible to predict the likelihood of developing somatization symptoms and alexithymia to some extent. Therefore, it is recommended that clinical therapists need to consider the object relations patterns of the individuals with somatization symptoms in communicating with them.

This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of somatic symptoms experiences questionnaire based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).

For this purpose, 416 students were selected by using multi-stage cluster sampling, then Somatic Symptoms Experiences Questionnaire (SSEQ), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Silver Lining Questionnaire (SLQ) were distributed among them to respond. After collecting data to determine the psychometric properties of the SSEQ, initially validity of the scale was assessed by Cronbach's alpha, retest and splitting coefficient, the criterion validity with GHQ and SLQ. As well as its factor structure was assessed by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.

The results of the factor analysis indicated that the SSEQ has four factors, check the validity of the scale by using Cronbach's alpha, retest and splitting coefficient reflects the stability of the scale, the criterion validity of the questionnaire with other questionnaires showed desirable discriminant and convergence validity.

Conclusively, the findings indicated that the SSEQ has good psychometric properties, and this tool can be used in studies in the normal population

Psychological distress may be deemed as a type of abnormality that is responsible for maladaptive thinking and behavior, and requires specialized intervention. In such conditions, the passion of life is reduced, and feeling of heartbreaking and disappointment is converted to a dominant governance. This research aims to compare the somatization syndrome in people with low and high psychological distress. For this purpose, in a cross-sectional research, thousands of the parents of students of Roudehen Branch were selected and assessed in terms of distress and somatization syndrome. Later, 28% of the highest and lowest distress scores were compared singly and as group with high and low distress with regards to somatization elements. The results of one-way analysis of variance indicated that two groups have significant difference with each other in somatization and its elements (physical pain, backache, pain in hands and arms, headache, chest pain, confusion, fainting, heartbeat, panting, pain or problem during sexual relationship, constipation, diarrhea, loose bowel, nausea, bloating, dyspepsia, fatigue and low energy, sleep problems). The findings demonstrate the high distress of patients infected with psychosomatic problems.

Aim and Background: Somatic symptom is one of the prevalent complaints in patients with psychiatric disorders and in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th Edition (DSM-5) is mentioned as somatic symptom disorder (SSD). In order to assess somatic complaints, validated scales are required. The aim of the present study was preparation of Persian version and determination of factor structure (as one of the psychometric properties) of Screening for Somatoform Symptoms-7 (SOMS-7) scale in Iranian samples. Methods and Materials: This psychometric study was conducted in Psychosomatic Research Center of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran, and included 100 patients with anxiety/mood disorders. All participants were asked to complete SOMS-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). Validity was confirmed by correlational method, and factor analysis and external and internal reliability were confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and re-test method. Factor analysis was performed by exploratory and confirmatory method. Data were analysed via SPSS software. Findings: Internal consistency of SOMS-7 was obtained 0.92 using Cronbach's alpha and reliability was obtained 0.70 via re-test method in two weeks interval. Factor analysis showed an appropriate two-factor structure in patients. The correlation of these two factors with somatic scale of PHQ was obtained 0.51 and 0.59, respectively, and revealed the construction validity as well as convergent validity. Findings indicate that Persian version of SOMS-7 has suitable reliability and validity for assessment of SSD and also evaluation of treatment effects in these patients.

Infidelity has detrimental effects on the mental and physical health of victims. The aim of the present study is to identify psychosomatic reactions and physical effects of infidelity on the victims.
a qualitative research was used in this study. The study population consisted of women who are victims of infidelity in Tehran. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and in-depth interviews had been conducted with 18 women with the experience of infidelity. Data analyzed by thematic analysis method.
Findings: The results suggest that couples show different psychosomatic reactions to infidelity. Data analysis resulted in 12 main categories and 39 sub-categories. The main categories of psychosomatic reactions were as follows: 1. sleep and dream interruptions, 2. eating interruptions, 3. impaired brain function, 4. physical symptoms of anxiety and stress, 5. blood pressure problems, 6. hormonal interruptions, 7. signs of premature aging, 8. gastrointestinal problems, 9. respiratory and pulmonary problems, 10- visual problems, 11. cardiovascular problems, and 12. direct physical injuries.
Results of the present study revealed that infidelity is a psychological phenomenon with some physical effects. These effects are not experienced by all female victims alike. This suggests a different perception of female victims and its related processes that cause different patterns of psychosomatic reactions to the infidelity among them.

According to the importance of somatization disorder in women, this study was conducted to investigate the mediating role of attachment styles in relationship with temperament and character dimensions of personality and somatization disorder among female teachers in Kermanshah city.
The study population consisted of all female teachers working in Kermanshah educational system in 2013-2014. The sample population included 300 teachers who were allocated by multistep cluster sampling. They were asked to complete Cloninger Temperament and character Inventor Questionnaire (TCI), somatization questionnaire and Adult Attachment Styles Inventory Questionnaire (AII). The data analysis was done by correlation coefficient calculation and path analysis using SPSS 21.0 and Amos 18.0 software.
Our findings showed that there was a significant correlation between anxiety and avoidance attachment styles and dimensions of personality with somatoform disorder. However, the relationship between safe attachment style and physical disorder was not significant.
Temperament and character dimensions of personality result in somatization disorder when the insecure internal models which are set according to the framework of mother-neonate attachment relationships had been formed.

Nowadays, bio-psycho-social model is the best model for the assessment and treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the structural pattern of the relationships between the difficulties in emotion regulation, psychological problems (anxiety and depression), somatization and gastrointestinal symptoms intensity in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders.

240 patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders were selected using convenience sampling method. They participated in the research by filling four questionnaires: Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire (MSPQ) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling method.

The difficulties in emotion regulation had significantly direct effects on anxiety, depression and somatization, and indirect effect on gastrointestinal symptoms intensity (P < 0.001). Besides, the mediatory roles of anxiety and somatization in the relationship between the difficulties in emotion regulation and gastrointestinal symptoms intensity were supported.

In sum, the results of the study emphasize the role of difficulties in emotion regulation in development of gastrointestinal symptoms intensity in these patients by increasing anxiety and somatization.

Psychological interventions can play a vital role in decreasing the symptoms of somatoform disorders via improving psychological، social and familial status of the patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive_ behavioral stress management (CBSM) on somatization، obsessive-compulsive disorder and interpersonal relationship sensitivity in females with somatoform vertigo. This experimental study composed of pre test، post test and follow up phases. The sample consisted of 28 patients with somatoform vertigo according to the diagnosis of neurologists. They were randomly selected and then assigned to two groups of experimental and control. The SCL-90-R and VSS-SF tests were used in both groups throughout pre and post tests and follow up phases. The experimental group received CBSM for 10 sessions; each session lasted for 2. 5 hours and for a period of 2. 5 months. The data was analyzed by ANCOVA. The mean of somatization، obsessive-compulsive disorder، interpersonal relationship sensitivity and vertigo signs significantly decreased in the experimental group. Cognitive-behavioral stress management has a positive effect on the treatment of somatization، obsessive-compulsive disorder، interpersonal relationship sensitivity and vertigo signs in patients with somatoform vertigo.

The just world beliefs, are the beliefs about justice presence in world and living conditions. These beliefs in many situations can affect human psychological states and behavior. This research was conducted with regard to these beliefs importance and the main purpose of this study was to investigate relational model between just world beliefs for self and others with general health, life satisfaction, positive and negative affect and automatic thoughts.Methods and Materials: The research statistical population was the total of Isfahan city habitants. Sample group was 400 persons (200 male and 200 female) which selected with use of multi-stage sampling method from Isfahan east, west, north and south regions. Questionnaires which used in this research were: general health questionnaire (with 28 items and four subscale include somatization, anxiety and insomnia, social dysfunction and depression), positive and negative affect scales (PANAS with 20 items; 10 for positive affect and 10 for negative affect), automatic thoughts (with 30 items), life satisfaction (with 5 item) and just world beliefs questionnaires for self and others (each with 8 item). The validity of the questionnaires investigated and verified with the use of face and content validity. The reliability of the questionnaires was also investigated and verified with the use of alpha and spilt- half methods (Speamar- Brown and Guttmann methods). Data analyzed with using structural equations model (Path analysis). The above analysis conducted with the use of LISREL statistical package (8.5 versions). The results showed that from all of the research variables, only life satisfaction have significant directive path coefficient with just world beliefs for self (B= 0.339, P<0.01) and others (B=0.218, P<0.01). Hence in next level, automatic thoughts have significant path coefficient with life satisfaction (B= -0.365, P<0.01). And finally the result showed that there has been significant path coefficient between other research variables. The result of this research showed that most effective path for adjusting just world beliefs for self and others are: social dysfunction to general health, to automatic thoughts and to life satisfaction for just world beliefs (for self and other) respectively.

This study was designed to determine the prevalence of psychological symptoms in gastrointestinal outpatients.
