dysfunctional thoughts

Lack of moral sensitivity and the existence of dysfunctional professional thoughts in emergency department nurses are important. Because wrong decisions cause irreparable damage to the patient.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the job performance of nurses in the emergency department of selected military hospitals in Tehran based on the variables of moral sensitivity and dysfunctional professional thoughts.

A descriptive-correlational study was conducted in 2020. The target population was nurses working in the emergency departments of selected military hospitals in Tehran. The sample size was 152 people. Sampling was done by stratified random sampling. Data collection tools included demographic and occupational characteristics form, Lutzen Ethical Sensitivity, Patterson Job Performance and Inefficient Professional Ethics Questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency and frequency percentage) and tests such as a t-test with a significance level of P <0.05 by SPSS software.

The majority of study participants were women (60.5%). Most nurses had high moral sensitivity (51.3%). The mean job performance of nurses was 26.54±9.53. The mean total score of nurses' dysfunctional thoughts was 61.1±12.51. In addition, the mean total score of moral sensitivity in the present study was 70.84 ± 15.09. Between different hospitals, there was a significant difference in the total score scores of dysfunctional thoughts and sub-dimensions of confusion and inability to make decisions, impossible expectations, importance to others and perfectionism. There was no significant difference between moral sensitivity and dysfunctional professional thoughts among selected hospitals. Nurses had relatively high moral sensitivity (51.3%) and high job performance (73%). Regression results showed that moral sensitivity can predict about 32% of changes in job performance variables.

Due to the high level of moral sensitivity among nurses, their job performance was at a high level and they were not influenced by dysfunctional professional thoughts. This study also showed that moral sensitivity is able to predict changes in nurses' job performance significantly.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of compassion therapy based on spiritual awareness on life expectancy, depression and dysfunctional thoughts of women with multiple sclerosis.

The present study was quasiexperimental and the statistical population included women with multiple sclerosis in Isfahan in 1399. Sampling was available as 30 patients were selected and randomly divided into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. In this study, Schneider (1991) Life Expectancy Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory (1971) and Weisman and Beck Ineffective Attitudes Scale (DAS-26) (1978) were used. Mindfulness-based compassion treatment based on the book Fallah and Ayoubi (1397) was performed in 8 virtual 90- minute sessions. All collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21 descriptive and inferential statistics.

The results showed that mindfulness-based compassion therapy had an effect on life expectancy, depression and dysfunctional thoughts of women with multiple sclerosis in the experimental group (P <0.05).

The results showed that mindfulness-based compassion therapy can be effective in patients with multiple sclerosis.

The phenomenon of running away from home creates public disorder and confusion in society and it is the most common cause of delinquent behavior. Dysfunctional thought is one of the important factors contributing to the appearance of underlying disorders; including assumptions and beliefs that are generally negative. Mindfulness skills are taught as a means to note distressing thoughts and feelings, hold such experiences in awareness, and cultivate acceptance and self-compassion so as to break up associative networks and offset the risk of running away. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on controlling the dysfunctional thoughts in runaway girls and those mismanaged by bad parents in the city of Rasht.
The research used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population consisted of all runaway girls and bad parent girls that are kept in centers affiliated to State Welfare Organization of Guilan; a total of 12 people, including 6 cases of runaway girls and 6 bad parent girls were selected through non-random convenience sampling and were put in two groups of runaway girls and bad parent girls. After pretest using dysfunctional thoughts and self-concept questionnaires, in both groups 8 sessions of 90 minutes of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy were performed. After the end of the training and treatment period and the implementation of posttest, one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and dependent two-sample t test were used for both groups.
Dependent two-sample t-test results showed that the average of dysfunctional thoughts in runaway girls and bad parent girls in posttest is significantly lower than the pretest. It could be said that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy has a positive effect on controlling dysfunctional attitude in runaway girls and bad parent girls (p The results of analysis of covariance showed that regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to control dysfunctional thoughts, there is no difference in runaway girls and bad parent girls; but in the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on self-concept, there is a difference in runaway girls and bad parent girls and this method has more effect on increasing self-concept in runaway girls than bad parent girls (p

Multiple sclerosis is the most common chronic disease of the central nervous system associated with demyelination of nerve neurons. This disease causes the person to have stress، depression and distress and affects the sensory and motor function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of treatment based on acceptance and commitment in reducing dysfunctional thoughts and the distress of MS patients. For this purpose، 24 people were selected from the patients who referred to Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran. They were randomly divided into two groups of experiment and control. Both groups were tested both before and after the training sessions and 2 months later، in terms of the amount of distress and dysfunctional thoughts. The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of treatment based on acceptance and commitment. The control group did not undergo any training. The results of analysis of covariance indicted that acceptance and commitment therapy is effective in reducing dysfunctional thoughts and distress in patients with multiple sclerosis. Therefore، using this method patients are helped to reduce distress، dysfunctional thoughts and the spread of distress and dysfunctional thoughts.
