The educational, social, and psychological problems of Orphan and poorly supervised students need special attention. Therefore, the present study was performed with the aim of designing and testing the casual model of academic adjustment based on behavioral emotion regulation with the mediating role of mindfulness in orphan and poorly supervised students.

The method of the present study was descriptive. The statistical population of this study consisted of all orphan and poorly supervised students in Ardabil province during the academic year 2020-2021, of which 210 were selected via convenient sampling method and participated in this research. For data collection, the standardized questionnaire of academic adjustment of Sinha and Sink, Behavioral Emotion Regulation of Kraaij & Garnefski, and mindfulness of Brown and Ryan were used. The collected data were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation analysis and structural equations modelling.

The results showed that behavioral emotion regulation (β= 0.163) and mindfulness (β= 0.678) have a direct and positive effect on academic adjustment (p> 0.001). The results related to fit indices of the model also showed that mindfulness can mediate the relationship between behavioral emotional regulation and academic adjustment.

In general, mindfulness mediation can be confirmed in the relationship between behavioral emotion regulation and academic adjustment of orphan and poorly supervised students. According to the significance of the proposed model and confirming the mediating role of mindfulness, it is recommended to therapists and counselors in the educational field, in the first place, to examine and measure the important variable of emotion behavioral regulation and consider the important role of mediating variables.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on resilience in premature children of pre-school age children under the well-being of Kashan.

This research was semi-experimental and pre-test-posttest with control group was used. The sample consisted of 30 non-affiliated children who were selected by available sampling method and based on entry and exit criteria from the day-care center. They were randomly assigned into two groups of 15 subjects. Measurement tools were the Conner Dodson Resilience Scale (2003), which was completed by participants in the pretest-posttest phase. Then, the participants in the experimental group participated in eight 90-minute treatment sessions based on admission and commitment.

The mean score of resilience before the intervention in the experimental group was 47.65 which after the intervention reached 93.15 and in the follow-up stage reached 87.92 and in the control group these scores increased from 78.59 to 72.64 in the post-intervention stage and 44.36 in the follow-up stage Resilience was in the control group. Acceptance and commitment therapy had a greater effect on resilience in the participants of the experimental group than the control group. Based on the results of analysis of covariance, acceptance and commitment therapy increased resilience.

Considering the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on increasing resilience of homeless children covered by welfare, the importance of using this treatment compared to other treatments to increase resilience and ability to cope with problems should be considered.

Orphaned and abandoned adolescents living in welfare boarding centers due to the lack of family support are at further risk of psychological damage than their other counterparts. The increasing number of children and adolescents orphaned and abandoned and observing maladaptive behaviors and emotional disorders in those caused by separation from the family structure elevates the need to pay special attention to general health and the responsibility of this group. Accordingly, group reality therapy, as an approach for monitoring and controlling behaviors and accepting responsibility, can effectively improve general health and responsibility among these groups. Reality therapy significantly emphasizes freedom and responsibility. In this approach, behavior is a kind of choice, i.e., made by the individual; each subject is responsible for their choices. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of group reality therapy on general health and responsibility among orphaned and abandoned adolescents.

This was a quasi–experimental study with pretest–posttest–follow–up and a control group design. The study's statistical population consisted of all male adolescents of orphaned and abandoned aged 12–18 years residing in the child and adolescent care centers of orphaned and abandoned affiliated with the Tehran Welfare Organization in 2019. Of them, 40 individuals were selected using the multistage cluster sampling method according to the research inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study samples were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (n=20/group). The inclusion criteria of the research were consent to participate in the research; the age range of 12 to 18 years; having a higher level of education than the third grade; no psychiatric or medical illnesses that require medication, and not taking psychotropic drugs regularly. The exclusion criteria included a history of hospitalization in the psychiatric ward, attending counseling and psychotherapy sessions other than the intervention, not attending intervention sessions regularly, and not cooperating in completing questionnaires at all stages. In pretest, posttest, and follow–up stages, all participants completed the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ–28) (Goldberg & Hillier, 1979) and the subscale of responsibility of the California Psychological Questionnaire (Gaff, 1987). No intervention was performed for the control group. Group reality therapy, i.e., designed based on reality therapy techniques and the book Glasser's Theory of Choice, Sahebi's translation (2020), was performed for the experimental group in seven 120–minute sessions. At the end of the therapeutic interventions and 2 months later, both study groups were re–evaluated by the research questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statists (mean & standard deviation) and inferential statistics, including repeated–measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post–hoc test in SPSS at the significance level of 0.05.

The present study results revealed a significant difference between the pretest, posttest, and follow–up scores of general health and responsibility (p<0.001). Additionally, there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control groups concerning general health (p=0.029) and responsibility (p=0.034). Furthermore, the difference in the mean scores of general health (p<0.001) and responsibility (p=0.007) between the pretest and posttest stages was significant. Besides, the difference between the pretest and follow–up stages was significant for the mentioned variables (p<0.001). The difference in the mean scores of general health (p=0.779) and responsibility (p=0.806) between the posttest and follow–up stages reflected that the effect of the intervention remained stable over time.

The obtained findings suggested group reality therapy's effectiveness in improving orphaned and abandoned adolescents' general health and responsibility. Therefore, this treatment can be used as an effective method to increase the general health and responsibility of orphaned and abandoned adolescents.
