Breast cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer and leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. For patients with breast cancer, pain is a common and debilitating symptom that can negatively impact physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In this randomized controlled trial, we aim to determine the effect of meaning-centered pain coping skills training (MCPC), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), on pain self-efficacy and life expectancy in women with breast cancer.

We enrolled 45 adults females with stage III breast cancer referred to the Bazarganan Hospital and Roshana Oncology clinic in Tehran, were randomly assigned to one of the three MCPC (n = 15), MBSR (n = 15) or control (n = 15) groups. MCPC is a 6-session and MBSR is a systematic educational program during an 8-week period. The control group had no additional contact. Measures assessing the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Snyder Adult Hope Scale were administered at baseline, post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up.

Both the MCPC and MBSR groups achieved significant improvement in pain self-efficacy  and life expectancy with statistically significant differences between groups. However, no significant difference was reported between the effectiveness of the interventions used in the present study on self-efficacy in breast cancer patients. Thus, the intervention of MCPC showed a greater effect on increasing life expectancy in breast cancer patients (P<0.001).

Our findings, which found that the MCPC and MBSR group had improved in at both post-intervention and follow-up compared to the control group. These interventions may provide an important avenue for alleviating suffering in patients facing pain from breast cancer.

The hard trainability of children with learning disorders has caused unpleasant emotional experiences to be one of the problems of the mothers of these children in interacting with them.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness parenting training and compassion-based parenting on the affective control of mothers with children with learning disabilities.

The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the research included the mothers of children with learning disorders in Gorgan city in 2022-2023 who had been referred to two government learning disorders centers (Shekofe and Dana in Gorgan city). 75 mothers were convenience Sampling selected and randomly divided into three groups (25 people in each group). The research tool included the Affective control scale of Williams et al. (1997). The experimental groups received the intervention in 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week. A mixed variance analysis was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that the group of mindfulness parenting training and compassion-based parenting had a significant effect on affective control (P<0.001) and the effectiveness of compassion-based parenting was higher (P<0.05). The results of the test stages also showed that the post-test and follow-up compared to the pre-test showed a significant and stable decrease (P<0.001), but the follow-up stage had a significant increase compared to the post-test (P=0.01).

The results showed that compassion-based parenting is more effective in improving the emotional control of mothers with children with learning disabilities

The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of life-therapy and compassion-therapy on self-respect and experiential avoidance in students suffering from cell phone phobia.

The research method was a semi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test and two-month follow-up. The statistical population included all male and female students with mobile phone phobia of Azad University, Tehran West Branch, who were studying in the academic year of 2023. Among these students, based on the entry criteria and purposefully, 45 people were selected and randomly replaced in two experimental groups and one control group. The first experimental group received life-therapy intervention and the second experimental group received compassion-therapeutic intervention during 8 sessions of 90 minutes. The research tools were the questionnaires of mobile phobia, Ildrim and Correa, Cooper Smith's self-respect, and experimental avoidance by Gamez et al. The data were analyzed by repeated measurement variance analysis, Benferoni post hoc test and SPSS27 software.

The results showed that life-therapy and compassion-therapy interventions are effective in improving self-respect and experiential avoidance; this effect was also stable in the follow-up neighborhood. Also, life-therapy had a greater effect on these variables in the post-test and follow-up phase than compassion-therapy.

Based on the results, it seems necessary to use life-therapy and compassion-therapy trainings in order to reduce the psychological damage caused by mobile phones; Therefore, psychologists and therapists can use life-therapy and compassion-therapy teaching methods along with other educational methods to reduce students' fear of cell phones.

 The present study aimed to determine the effect of meaning-centered pain coping skills training on pain and death anxiety in women with breast cancer.

Therefore, experts, researchers and therapists in this field can use this intervention as an effective treatment option to improve the psychological functions of patients with COVID-19 in Iran.

The fear of not being in touch and being separated from the smartphone causes complications in young people. The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the relationship between cyberspace addiction and quality of life with nomophobia.

The present study had the descriptive-analytical of correlational, and statistical papulation of research was medical students of Islamic Azad Universities of Mazandaran province. Studying in the first half of 2018 with a population of 2756 people, of which 340 people were determined using Morgan's Kargesi table as a sample. Research tools includeWHOQOL-SF36quality of life questionnaires, addiction to mobile-based virtual social networks by Khawaja Ahmadi et al. and mobile-free phobia. NMP-Qwas Yıldırım and Korea. The data was analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient, Pearson's multivariate linear regression.

It showed that there is a significant and negative relationship between cyberspace addiction and quality of life (P>0.05, r=0.38), and a positive and significant relationship between cyberspace addiction and nomophobia (P>0.05). , r = 0.52) and a moderate and negative relationship was seen between the quality of life and venophobia at the rate of 0.23. The result of hierarchical linear regression by entering the variable of nomophobia emphasized the significant relationship between the two variables of cyberspace addiction and quality of life (sig=0.01).

According to the results of the research, it can be said that with the increase in the amount of addiction to cyber space, the level of fear of mobile phones increases and the quality of life decreases. It is suggested that in order to improve the media literacy level of the society, especially the young generation of our country, to teach them the culture of choice and correct use of modern media be given.

Gifted students, characterized by unique qualities, exhibit specific emotional, social, and educational needs, impacting their growth and well-being (1, 2). Challenges faced by gifted individuals include academic underachievement, future anxiety and solitude tendencies, reduced psychological well-being, and diminished life satisfaction and perceived stress levels (4-7).Life satisfaction, a cognitive evaluation of one’s quality of life, is linked to increased general health, academic success, and student self-regulation (10, 11). Future anxiety, characterized by uncertainty and fear of impending changes, affects gifted students, leading to avoidance of future planning and negative emotional indicators (10, 12).Contrary to the assumption that highly intelligent students experience less anxiety, research suggests gifted students face heightened fears of failure and future anxiety due to high expectations (13, 14). Stress is more prevalent among high school students, posing a significant public health challenge (16). For various reasons, gifted students experience higher stress levels, requiring further research (18).Various therapeutic methods have been explored, with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) showing promise. Mahasneh et al. (2022) found that a cognitive-behavioral group counseling program reduced anxiety and future psychologicalstressin gifted students (22).This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral training on life satisfaction, future anxiety, and perceived stress in gifted students, addressing whether such training positively impacts their well-being.

The present study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group and follow-up. The statistical population included female-gifted Farzanegan high school students in Mazandaran for the academic year 2022-2023. The initial sample consisted of 187 students in the first and second grades of high school. Thirty participants were voluntarily selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, with 15 assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group through random allocation.Before the intervention, participants underwent a pretest measuring life satisfaction, future anxiety, and perceived stress. Subsequently, the experimental group received eight sessions of cognitive-behavioral training, while the control group received no intervention. Posttests were administered to both groups, and a follow-up test was conducted two months after the completion of the training sessions.The sample size for this research was determined using G*Power software based on an effect size of 0.25, an alpha level of 0.05, and a power of 0.95. Inclusion criteria involved a lack of appropriate psychological well-being based on low scores on the psychological well-being questionnaire, a typical family situation (living with both parents), and willingness to participate in the research. Exclusion criteria included abnormal family situations such as divorce and a conscious unwillingness to participate.The research instruments included the following measures: 1. Satisfaction with Life Questionnaire (1985) (24), 2. Future Anxiety Scale (1996) (26), and 3. Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983) (28).
Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution table, repeated measures analysis of variance, and SPSS-22 software.

The mean age of all participants was 15.67 years, with a standard deviation (1.41). In the experimental group, the mean (standard deviation) age was 15.60 (0.98), and in the control group, it was 15.33 (1.11). The minimum and maximum ages in both groups ranged from 14 to 17. All participants were engaged in education.Ten participants (66.67%) scored between 19 and 20, and 5 (33.33%) scored between 18 and 19. In the control group, nine participants (60%) scored between 19 and 20, and six (40%) scored between 18 and 19. Additionally, regarding family size, in the experimental group, seven participants (46.67%) had one child, seven participants (46.67%) had two children, and one participant (6.67%) had more than two children. In the control group, seven participants (46.67%) had one child, six participants (40%) had two children, and two participants (13.33%) had more than two children. Furthermore, the results of the chi-square and independent samples t-test were reported, examining the homogeneity of the experimental and control groups. Since the chi-square value for family size, GPA, and age did not show statistical significance (P>0.05), it can be concluded that the two groups were homogenous in terms of family size, GPA, and age. The independent samples t-test for the age variable also revealed no significant difference between the mean ages of the experimental and control groups (P>0.05), confirming the homogeneity of the two groups.The results demonstrated that cognitive-behavioral training in the experimental group increased life satisfaction in the posttest and follow-up compared to the pretest (P<0.05). Additionally, the mean scores of future anxiety and perceived stress in the experimental group decreased from the pretest to the posttest and follow-up (P<0.05).

The present study concluded that the application of cognitive behavioral therapy to gifted students has a positive effect on life satisfaction. Similarly, this approach can help reduce future stress and anxiety and prepare students to face life’s challenges. In the educational environment, these results can help organizations and schools formulate their educational programs in such a way that they improve the psychological and social health of students at the same time, in addition to academic advancement. This intervention can be used as a comprehensive and appropriate tool in the process of educating students who are intelligent and sensitive to psychological issues. Moreover, it is recommended to use cognitive behavioral intervention concepts in textbooks such as thinking, psychology, and family management to increase the psychological well-being of gifted students.

Using online games has many negative emotional and social consequences. Therefore, the present research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of play therapy on improving emotion regulation and social adjustment of students addicted to online games.

This study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with a control group. The research population was the fifth grade students of district 2 of Sari city in the 2021-22 academic years. The sample size based on G Power software for each group was determined 15 people, who this number was selected by purposive sampling method and by random method replaced into two experimental and control groups. The experimental group 8 sessions of 90 minute underwent the play therapy, and during this time the control group did not receive any education. The data were collected with addiction to online games questionnaire (Wang & Chang, 2002), emotion regulation questionnaire for children and adolescents (Gullone and Taffe, 2012) and children's social adjustment scale (Dokhanchi, 1998) and were analyzed by methods of variance analysis by repeated measurement and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS-26 software.

The findings showed that the play therapy improved the emotion regulation (reappraisal and suppression) and social adjustment of students addicted to online games, and the results remained in the follow-up phase (P<0.001).

The results indicated the effectiveness of play therapy and its durability on improving emotion regulation and social adjustment of students addicted to online games. Therefore, specialists and therapists can use play therapy along with other treatment methods to improve psychological characteristics, especially to improve emotion regulation and social adjustment.

Hyperactivity and lack of attention can create difficult conditions for children and their families. These children need education and rehabilitation. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation based on prospective memory on attention bias, executive functions, and academic performance of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and follow-up with a control group. 32 children were selected in a targeted way and randomly replaced in two groups of 16 people. The participants were evaluated before and after the intervention and one month later with attention bias questionnaires, executive functions, and academic performance. The intervention group received cognitive rehabilitation based on prospective memory for 16 sessions. The data were analyzed by repeated analysis of variance. This research is an experimental type with a semi-experimental design, pre-post-test-follow-up, and control group. All participants are evaluated before and after the intervention using the standard instrument of attention bias, executive functions, and academic performance. Then, the effectiveness of the intervention was investigated by comparing the experimental and control groups in different phases of the research. The current research population included all the students of the first secondary school in Tehran. The sample size was considered 16 people for each group based on JPower software; which included 32 people for two groups. The impact factor was extracted from Khaksarian et al.'s article (2019) equal to 0.56. The alpha error level was 0.05 and the confidence level was 95%. The sampling method was cluster random. First, one district was randomly selected from among the 22 districts of Tehran. Then the list of schools was received and four schools were randomly selected from among the schools. Sampling continued until reaching the limit of samples. The final sample (34 people) was randomly replaced by two groups of 16 people. The inclusion criteria included obtaining a score above the cut-off line in the Connors Hyperactivity Questionnaire, the willingness of the child and parents to cooperate, living with two parents, male gender, and receiving a diagnosis of one of the three types of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (attention deficit, impulsive, and combined). Those suffering from intellectual, developmental, physical, or psychological debilitating diseases were included in the study. Absence of more than one session of training sessions, failure in previous semester exams (to control learning disorder), receiving a previous diagnosis of learning disorder, and confrontational disobedience were the criteria for dropping out of the study. The following questionnaires before, after, and one month later were used for evaluation

The results showed that the attention bias, executive functions, and academic performance of the intervention group had significantly improved compared to the control group. According to the results of variance analysis with repeated measures that show the scores of inhibition, inhibition, change, working memory, organization, and planning in the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, there is a significant relationship between the subjects' scores in the three stages. Also, the effect size for inhibition, inhibition, change, working memory, and organization variables is equal to 23%, 24%, 34%, 17%, and 38% respectively, which means equal to 23%, 24%, and 34% respectively. 17% and 38% of the changes in the scores of inhibition, inhibition, change, working memory, and organization in the post-test and follow-up were related to the therapeutic intervention; Therefore, the research hypothesis is accepted. After confirming the normality of the data distribution, the homogeneity of variances for the research variables was examined, the results of the M-box test were not significant (Box M=12.16, P=0.09), so the condition of homogeneity of the variance-covariance matrices has been correctly met. Also, Levin's test, which is the condition of equality of variances between groups, is not significant in any of the steps, and the error variance of the dependent variables was equal in all groups. Finally, the results of Mochli's test showed that the assumption about the variable was met (Mochli's w = 0.79, x2 = 6.01, P = 0.06). The results of the analysis of variance with repeated measures are presented in the table below.

In explaining this finding, it can be said that attention bias is a type of cognitive bias in which a person involuntarily pays special attention to a specific stimulus or a sensory sign. Since this is more evident in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, in this study, children underwent cognitive rehabilitation based on prospective memory. In explaining this finding, it can be said that the game and practice aspect of the tasks presented in the active memory training program causes students to become more involved and interested in doing the tasks and attach importance to getting the best results, which helps the students. Consider all aspects of the assignment and do the assignments in a more targeted and organized manner. This increases the focus on a topic in the participants. In explaining this finding, it should be said that in addition to this, the simplicity of the tasks and games and their successful solution also strengthens this process and ultimately helps to improve the planning ability, and also justify the effectiveness of the mentioned training program, it can be said that this training program is because the skills It teaches orientation, inhibition of response, multi-step order, and auditory and visual memory, which are essential in reading, and can also improve planning skills in these students. Also, this cognitive rehabilitation program presents tasks from simple to difficult, which provides the possibility for the hyperactive child to have more motivation to complete the tasks while mastering the basic skills to do more difficult tasks. This step-by-step mastery and success motivate hyperactive children who often have difficulty completing tasks and make them put more effort into doing exercises. The proposed mechanism for the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation exercises is neuroplasticity or brain flexibility. According to findings related to children's imaging, performing cognitive rehabilitation exercises can change synaptic connections in these children. According to the obtained results, cognitive rehabilitation based on prospective memory is effective on attention bias, executive functions, and academic performance of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

This study investigated the effectiveness of a group-based 8-week intervention, Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behavior Therapy (MiCBT), to decrease health anxiety and death obsession in Patients with COVID-19.

Participants (n = 30, aged 25–45) were randomized to two groups (MiCBT), and control. Outcomes were assessed at pre-, postintervention and at 2-month follow-up. The Secondary outcome measures were the Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI) and the Death Obsession Scale (DOS).

The MiCBT intervention significantly reduced health anxiety and death obsession scale scores at posttreatment and the gains were maintained at 2-month follow-up (p < 0.0001).

The results support the effectiveness of MiCBT in creating rapid and sustainable reduction of health anxiety and death obsession in Patients with COVID-19. These promising results support the feasibility and acceptability implementation of this intervention in patients with COVID-19 in Iran.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) training has positive effects on the resilience and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of MBCT on resiliency and blood glucose control in patients with T2D.

This study was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest with control group. The study population consisted of all patients with T2D in 2018 referring to diabetes clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari County, Iran. The sample consistedof 30 (15 for each group) patients with T2D that were selected by availability sampling method and randomly recruited to each of the groups. Next, the experimental group members took part in a total of 8 sessions of 90 minutes each, with one session per week, for MBCT. Instruments for gathering data were the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test. The data were analyzed with the use of SPSS software and statistical tests such as multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

The MBCT had a significant impact on resiliency among patients with T2D (P = 0.001, F = 13.828), but the impact of MBCT on blood glucose control was not significant (P = 0.103, F = 2.854).

It seems that MBCT is an applicable treatment for improving psychological health for patients with T2D.

The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and therapy based on acceptance and commitment to the quality of life in coronary heart patients. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included all angioplasty patients referred to Fatemeh Zahra(S) Heart Clinic in Sari in 1400. The number of 45  people were selected as a sample using the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned to three groups (two experimental groups and one group). The participants of the first experimental group received 10  sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy and the participants of the second experimental group received 8 sessions of therapy based on acceptance and commitment. The quality of life questionnaire SF36  (Weir and Sherburne,1992) was implemented as a research tool in two stages before and after training in all three groups. The analysis of findings by multivariate analysis of covariance test showed that by controlling the pre-test effect, there is a significant difference between the post-test average of the quality of life in the experimental and control groups at the level of 0.001. The results of the follow-up test showed that the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy is higher than the therapy based on acceptance and commitment to the quality of life (p=0.0002). Therefore, in the field of treatment and counseling of patients with coronary heart disease, cognitive behavioral therapy seems efficient.

Faulty emotional strategies are one of the most crucial indicators of dangerous behavior.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on emotional processing defects and impulsivity of soldiers aged 18 to 20 years with high-risk behaviors.

Themethod of the present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of this study included all soldiers aged 18 to 20 years referred to Valiasr Medical Center in Tehran in 2020. The research sample included 30 soldiers with high-risk behaviors who were selected purposefully and randomly assigned to two groups (15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group). To collect data, the high-risk behaviors Scale (IARS), Barrett’s Impulsiveness scale, and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) was used. The experimental group underwent ten sessions of DBT, and the control group did not receive any treatment. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and SPSS-23 software. The significance level of the tests was considered 0.05.

The results of this study showed that the intervention and control groups had statistically significant differences in terms of emotional processing (P < 0.01) and impulsivity (P < 0.05) after the intervention of dialectical behavior therapy.

Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that dialectical behavioral therapy can be used along with other treatments to reduce the problems of soldiers with high-risk behaviors.

Due to the increasing prevalence of premenstrual disorder and the need to use the most effective treatment to improve the symptoms of this syndrome, this study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy on pain in patients with the premenstrual disorder.

The study followed a semi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control and an experimental group. The statistical population of the research included all women aged 25 to 40 who visited a gynecologist at least three times in the past year due to menstrual pain and were referred to a counseling and psychological center with the diagnosis of premenstrual dysphoria. A group of 24 people were selected using the available sampling method and were randomly divided into the experimental and control group (12 people each). The research tool was the Pain Questionnaire. Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy intervention was implemented in eight 90-minute sessions for the experimental group. After entering the data into the SPSS software (version 25), they were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).

The results of MANCOVA showed that cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy significantly improved pain intensity, as well as physical-sensory, sensory-emotional, and cognitive-evaluative aspects of life in women with premenstrual dysphoria (P<0.05).

Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy improves physical-sensory, sensory-emotional, and cognitive-evaluative aspects of life in women with the premenstrual disorder. It also influences their adaptive and uncompromising strategies, mental health, social relationships, environmental health, general health, and quality of life.

Considering the increasing prevalence of premenstrual dysphoria and considering the need to use the most effective treatment in improving the symptoms of this syndrome, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral hypnotherapy on pain and emotion regulation in premenstrual dysphoria sufferers.

The current research method is a semi-experimental type of pre-test and post-test with experimental and control and follow-up groups, in which an experimental group and a control group in three stages of pre-test and post-test and the follow-up period of a Months were compared with each other. The statistical population of the research included all women aged 25 to 40 years who visited a gynecologist in Sari city at least 3 times in a 12-month period during the past year, and with the diagnosis of premenstrual dysphoria, went to the counseling center and 24 people were selected from this group using available sampling method and were randomly divided into an experimental group (12 people) and a control group (12 people). The research tools included the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire of Garnevsky et al. (2001), the chronic pain questionnaire of Mohammadian (1995) and the premenstrual symptoms screening tool of Siehbazi et al. (2011). Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy intervention was implemented in 8 sessions of 90 minutes for the experimental group. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 25 statistical software and using the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements, post hoc tests and independent t-test to check the equality of means at the significance level of 0.05.

The covariance results showed that cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy is significantly effective on pain reduction, emotion regulation, and subscales of compromised strategies and compromised strategies in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (P < 0.001).

Cognitive-behavioral hypnotherapy improves physical-sensory, emotional-emotional and cognitive-evaluative, compromised strategies and non-compromised strategies, mental health, social relationships, environmental health and overall health of women with premenstrual dysphoria disorder and quality it elevates life in this era.

</span>Adolescence is an essential and vital period. In the last two decades, research has shown that high–risk and threatening behaviors have increased among adolescents and young people and pose a serious threat to public health. Many factors have been identified and introduced in the occurrence of risky behaviors, including life satisfaction. Due to inefficient coping with stressful factors, harmful consequences such as depression, anxiety, aggression, and self–harm will plague teenagers. Adaptive emotion regulation strategies negatively predict the ideation of high–risk behaviors, while maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies positively predict adolescents' mental risk–taking. Since adolescents constitute a large segment of the population, researchers should recognize and examine their problems and issues. This study aimed to present a causal model of the components of coping strategies with stress and risk–taking with the mediating role of life satisfaction in male high school students</span>.</span></span></span>

</span>The research method was descriptive–correlational based on structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population of this study consisted of all ninth–grade junior high school students studying in the second semester of 2018–19 in Babol City, Iran. The sample size was estimated at 240 people according to the number of observed variables, and a coefficient of 15 was assigned for each observed variable (16 variables observed in the model), as well as considering the possibility of incomplete questionnaires. The samples were selected by two–stage cluster probability sampling. First, one of the education districts of Babol was chosen randomly (District 2), and then three high schools were randomly selected from the mentioned district. All ninth–grade students of these schools answered the questionnaires. Students answered the </span>Satisfaction with Life Scale (</span>Diner et al., 1985</span>), the Iranian Adolescents Risk–taking Scale (</span>Zadeh Mohammadi et al., 2011</span>), and the Coping Strategies Questionnaire (</span>Endler & Parker, 1990</span></span>). In this research, descriptive statistics was used to categorize the individual characteristics of the subjects by calculating the frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Also, the inferential statistics, including the Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling, were also performed to analyze the data in SPSS version 22 and AMOS version 22 software. The significance level in this study was set at 0.05.</span></span></span>

</span>The direct path coefficient between stress–coping strategies and risk–taking was significant and positive (p=0.005, β=0.22). Also, the direct path coefficients between stress coping strategies and life satisfaction (p=0.001, β=–0.28) and between life satisfaction and risk–taking (p=0.001, β=–0.50) were negative and significant. The indirect path of stress coping strategies on risk–taking with the mediation of life satisfaction was confirmed using the bootstrap estimation method (p < 0.001, β = 0.220). The goodness of fit indices supported the good fit of the model with the collected data (AGFI=0.95, RMSEA=0.043, GFI=0.98, CFI=0.97, </span>χ</span>2</span></sup>/df=2.87). </span></span>

</span>Based on the research findings, coping strategies and life satisfaction explain students' risk–taking. Using skills to increase students' satisfaction with life can help students identify their mental state and coping strategies in stressful situations. </span></span></span>

Family is the first and most important social institution, and a healthy society depends on having a healthy couple who strive to achieve their goals with a suitable level of marital satisfaction. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy on coping strategies and internalized shame in nurses with marital conflicts.

The current research method is a quasi-experimental one with a pre-test-post-test design and a one-month follow-up with the control group. The statistical population included all nurses working in Imam Sajjad State Hospital in Ramsar City in 2020. Among these, 30 couples (90 people) were selected by the non-random sampling method available and replaced in the experimental group (emotion-oriented couple therapy) and a control group in a simple random manner (15 couples in each group). Then, 10 sessions of 90 minutes (2 sessions per week) of emotion-oriented couple therapy (Johnson, 2017) were conducted in experimental groups. Data were collected using the internalized shame and coping strategies questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS-24 software and through the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements.

The research results showed that emotion-oriented couple therapy is effective on coping strategies (P<0.001) and internalized shame (P<0.001) in nurses with marital conflicts.

Considering the effectiveness of emotion-oriented couple therapy in nurses with marital conflicts, it is suggested that therapists use this therapeutic and educational approach

Neuropathic diseases are neurodegenerative conditions and a wide and difficult group of peripheral nerve diseases in humans. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on pain coping strategies and pain self- efficacy in chronic neuropathic pain patients

This study was a semi-experimental study with a control group and included pre-test, post-test and follow-up. The statistical population, included all chronic neuropathic pain patients referring to Rohani Hospital and personal office of our neurologist in Babol City in 2022. 30 patients were selected by using purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two experimental (15 persons) and control (15 persons) groups. Both groups filled out the pain coping strategies and pain self- efficacy questionnaire  in the pre-test stage. Acceptance and commitment therapy was performed for the experimental group for 8 sessions (one 120 minute session/week), while control group did not receive any treatment. After completion of the treatment period for both groups, post-test and 2 months after the post-test, follow-up test were performed. Using SPSS-18 software, data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.

The results showed that in the post-test there was a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in the scores of pain coping strategies subscales in diverting attention, reinterpretation of pain, catastrophizing, ignoring pain, prayer-hope, self-statement, increased pain behaviour and pain self-efficacy (P<0.01). The treatment results were maintained in the follow-up stage. 

The results of the present study indicated that acceptance and commitment therapy can be effective in improving pain coping strategies and increasing pain self- efficacy in the patients with chronic neuropathic pain.

Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common chronic anxiety disorders, and the role of psychotherapy in reducing its symptoms has been confirmed. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and life therapy on mental well-being and psychological security in women with generalized anxiety disorder.

The present study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test/post-test design and follow-up (three months) with a control group. Forty-five women with generalized anxiety disorder referred to health centers and counseling centers in areas 1, 2, 3, and 5 of Tehran in 2021 were selected by purposeful sampling method and placed in two experimental groups and one control group. The experimental groups received educational intervention in 8 sessions, but the control group did not receive any intervention. In order to collect data, Keyes and Magyar-Moe’s Mental Well-Being Questionnaires and Maslow’s Psychological Security Questionnaire were used. Data analysis was done using two-way repeated measures analysis of variance.

The results indicated the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and life therapy on increasing the mental well-being and psychological security of women with generalized anxiety disorder (p<0.001), and both methods had the same effectiveness.

Considering the effectiveness of cognitive therapy based on mindfulness and life therapy on increasing well-being and psychological security, these treatments can be used as adjuvant, supportive and rehabilitation interventions along with drug therapies to rehabilitate and improve their quality of life.

The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between sexual self-concept and the tendency to extramarital relationships. The research method was a correlation. The statistical population included women with experience of infidelity who in 2019 had been referred to the family court and counseling centers and psychological services in Tehran. From this population, 373 people were selected by purposive sampling. The research tools were; the attitudes toward infidelity scale (ATIS) of Whatley (2008), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) of Garnfsky et al (2001), and the Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (MSSCQ) of Snell (1995). Path analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that was significant the indirect effect of sexual self-concept on the tendency to extramarital affairs mediated by negative emotion regulation (β = -0.10 and P = 0.01) and positive emotion regulation (β = -0.04 and P = 0.009). Although was not significant the direct effect of sexual self-concept on the tendency to extramarital affairs (β = 0.10 and P = 0.38), the research model had a good fit. The results indicate a significant mediating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between sexual self-concept and the tendency to extramarital relationships that can be considered in education and interventions to reduce marital infidelity.
