Pompian’s theory is one of the new approaches to behavioral finance that divides investors into four types: preserver, accumulator, follower and independent. This study investigates psychological symptoms of Tehran Stock Exchange investors in Sanandaj based on the orientations of Pompian’s theory. The method is casual-comparative and 430 stock exchange investors were recruited. The sample was divided into four investing orientations using the Pompin’s Behavioral investor types Questionnaire and compared with 163 non-stock group members as a control group in the psychological symptoms such depression, anxiety, and stress and in positive and negative affect. The results show that preservers and accumulators experience more depression, anxiety, and stress than non-stockholders and independents individuals. The control group have more positive affect than all four groups. Negative affect of independent individuals was less than other groups. Psychological symptoms and high negative affect of stock market investors can have a great impact on their financial decisions and can be decisive in the collapse of financial markets. This impact can be reciprocal: the collapse of financial markets can have devastating psychological effects on preservers, accumulators, and followers and decline their life satisfaction.

Nurseschr('39') ethical distress means acting in contradiction with their ethical beliefs, which today has become one of the challenges of health systems because it has devastating effects on nurses and can lead them to abandon their jobs. Therefore, these factors should be considered together. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between ethical distress and willingness to leave their work among nurses working in Jahrom University of Medical Sciences in 2016.

This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences in 2016. All nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences were enrolled. Data collection tools included three demographic information questionnaires, Corleychr('39')s ethical distress questionnaire and nurseschr('39') willingness to remain in the Nursing profession. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21 and descriptive and inferential statistical tests.

The mean age of the participants was 28±5.4 years. Nurseschr('39') willingness to leave the service was 1.04±1.03 and ethical distress severity score was 0.72.±2.44%. Spearman test results showed that there was no significant relationship between tendency to quit work and moral distress in severity (p-value> 0.337) and repetition (p-value>0.444). Mann-Whitney test showed that there was no significant relationship between gender variables with variables of desire to quit, severity of moral distress and repetition of moral distress (p-value>0.05). The results of Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there was no significant relationship between educational level, service sector and type of employment with variables of tendency to quit, severity of moral distress and repetition of moral distress (p-value> 0.05).

The results of the present study showed that there was no significant relationship between mean moral distress in two dimensions of severity and repetition with the intention to quit nurses. Although the ethical distress reported in this study is moderate, this lack of relevance cannot be taken into account, but sometimes nurses have to be reluctant to quit due to lack of work and difficult economic conditions. Therefore, it is recommended that appropriate measures be taken to reduce the stressors due to the existing conditions.

Impaired performance and poor quality of life may deteriorate the psychological health of the patients undergoing hemodialysis. Spiritual behaviors, especially bonding with God, could improve spiritual energy and create a positive attitude in these patients. The present study aimed to assess the association between spiritual wellbeing and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 82 hemodialysis patients in the Hemodialysis Center of Motahari Hospital in Jahrom, Iran in 2016. The subjects were selected via convenience sampling. Data were collected using the quality of life questionnaire for renal patients and the spiritual wellbeing scale by Paloutzian and Ellison. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 20 using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation-coefficient). Positive, significant correlations were observed between the dimensions of quality of life, including physical functioning (0.222), role impairment due to emotional problems (0.260), energy/fatigue (0.393), general health (0.394), and physical health (0.293), and domains of spiritual wellbeing. According to the results, it is critical to enhance spiritual wellbeing as an important influential factor in the quality of life of individuals. Paying attention to the key role of spiritual health in a country like Iran, where cultural values and religious beliefs prevail, could be beneficial in developing effective healthcare programs for hemodialysis patients
