World Mental Health Day theme in 2020 was "Mental Health for All: Greater Investment – Greater Access". Due to World Mental Health Day and week, and considering that the results of research since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic have shown that the stress in the medical staff is very high due to many reasons, this article explains the importance of providing psychological resilience interventions to medical staff that fight against COVID-19. Ongoing challenges faced by medical staff are similar to the situation of soldiers in "war conditions". As a result, providing psychological resilience interventions to the Health Care workers (HCW) - especially those on the front lines of the crisis - is one of the most important priorities during this global pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to provide this type of intervention which is mentioned in this opening speech, to the Health Care workers (HCW) of hospitals and military treatment centers affected by Covid 19, and also this issue should be considered by planners and mental health professionals, especially mental health managers of the Army Health Administration.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on emotion regulation and impulsivity control in self-reported soldiers.

In a quasi-experimental research design, 20 soldiers with self-harm symptoms were selected based on available sampling criteria and randomly divided into two experimental groups (10 subjects). And the control group (n = 10). Experimental group received 12 sessions of dialectical behavior therapy intervention in both groups. Participants in both groups were evaluated by Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11), Garnefsky Cognitive-Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-P), and the Self-Behavior Questionnaire Gratz (GISB) in three stages of pre-test, post-test, and 1-month follow-up. Data were analyzed by repeated measure ANOVA and SPSS software.

The results showed that group-based dialectical behavior therapy had a positive effect on the modification of emotion regulation strategies in soldiers with a history of self-injury and group dialectic behavior therapy training had a positive effect on reducing impulsivity. It has also been effective on some subscales of emotion regulation and impulsivity of soldiers with a history of self-harm.

The results showed that dialectical behavior therapy has a significant effect on increasing emotion regulation and impulsive control of soldiers with a history of self-harm.

Iranchr('39')s elderly population is expected to reach 26% of total population in 2050, so their mental and physical health, needs special attention. This study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual reality (dream-creating) on resilience of female elderlies.

This quasi-experimental study was applied in pretest-posttest-follow up design with control group. The data population was 250 female elderlies over 65 year old from Sari, without any heart or mental diseases, who volunteered to participate in study through virtual network announcements from December 2019 to February 2020. Based on purposive sampling, 30 of them, who received the lowest score in CD-RISC, were matched in term of their age, employment status and education, and then randomly divided in to two groups of 15 experimental and control. The virtual reality intervention including specific dream creating for each participant, was performed on experimental group, then follow up stage was applied one month later. Data were analyzed using SPSS v24 software and through ANCOVA and MANCOVA.

data analysis indicated that virtual reality (dream creating) has a significant positive effect on increasing the resilience of female elderlies (p<0/001, F= 138/841), in addition the results was stable one month after the intervention.

Therefore this method has an appropriate capability for applying health promotion interventions.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapy on quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease.

This quasi-experimental study was performed as a pretest and posttest with a control group awaiting treatment. The population included all patients aged 40-65 years with cardiovascular disease who were treated at Kasra Hospital in Karaj in 1398. The sample consisted of 135 patients with coronary heart disease who were identified from among the patients and assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The Minnesota Quality of Life Questionnaire scale was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics including mean, standard deviation and percentage and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) using SPSS-22 were used to analyze the data.

The results of multivariate analysis of covariance showed that both cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based therapy increase the quality of life of patients (P <0.001). Also, the results of follow up test showed that there was no significant difference between the treatment groups in terms of effectiveness on the mentioned variables in all components.

The results of this study have important implications for educating and promoting the mental health of cardiovascular patients.

Self-Compassion as a powerful source of regulating and controlling of athletechr('39')s emotions behavior has wide application. Therefore, the purpose of this research was examining the model of sport progress based on strategic performance test with moderating role of self-compassion.

The present study is of the correlation type. The statistical population included all professional athletes in Golestan province, which 301 athlete were selected as a statistical sample by simple random sampling method. The research instruments included Thomas Strategic Performance Test Questionnaire (TOPS) and a modified version of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCC). SPSS software and AMOS were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that sports performance had a significant effect on self-compassion (β=0.33, P≤0.01) and self-compassion on sports success (β=0.54, P≤0.01).

Therefore, considering that self-compassion had a significant effect on sports performance, so it is suggested that the use of compassion to deal with the consequences of negative thoughts and motivate athletes to increase the range of championship sports.

Job involvement is a prominent and effective factor in shaping employee’s motivation that reflects the passion and attitude of the person to work. The aim of this study was to investigate the job involvement and its related factors in the emergency medical staff of Kurdistan province.

In this descriptive-analytic study in 2019, 100 medical emergency staff in Kurdistan province were selected through cluster sampling. Data were collected by the Kanungo questionnaire (JIQ). To analyze the information, we used version 12 of STATA software. Nonparametric Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the hypothesis of the study.

Most of the participants were in the age range of 26-30 years old. Most of the participants had an associate degree and  work experience of fewer than 5 years. Job involvement was higher in single groups in comparison to married colleagues. There was a significant relationship between job involvement, education, and marital status (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between variables such as age, job experience, and income with job involvement (P>0.05).

We concluded that job involvement in the emergency medical personnel is low. So, rooting and accurate planning by the relevant managers is recommended to promote and increase job involvement.
