Art education is one of the areas of the curriculum in the development of various individual characteristics and capabilities. Art, with its profound impact and appeal, can serve as an effective tool for gaining a deeper understanding of basic medical science courses, including anatomical sciences (anatomy, histology, and embryology). The study was designed to assess the influence of creative painting on the teaching of anatomical sciences, emphasizing a social, individual, and spiritual approach to encourage forward-thinking and imaginative skills in medical students. It seems that when students of medical sciences become familiar with the clinical considerations and personal, social, and spiritual consequences of the subject while teaching their course material, they will try to learn the material more accurately and multi-dimensionally.

Materials and methods:

 The present research-educational study was designed with a qualitative-quantitative approach and in it the art of painting was used as an educational intervention. At first, after the introduction of anatomical sciences and the presentation of the objectives of the lesson, interested medical and pharmacy students of Ramsar Medical Sciences Campus were asked to choose a topic from anatomical sciences in a group or individually. Then, by connecting it with the clinical points in the textbooks, the following personal, social, and spiritual challenges are displayed by maintaining the scientific content in the form of a purposeful painting. After several meetings about the topics, the paintings meeting the desired criteria were selected and the paintings were displayed to the public. During the exhibition, the correctness of the way of conveying the target message was interpreted and analyzed from the point of view of the audience. Finally, the attractiveness of education and the level of learning among students were investigated. The evaluation of the results was done in two quantitative and qualitative methods, and in the quantitative method, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. The quantitative part was descriptive-analytical and the qualitative part was based on content analysis. To check the validity of the conducted study, Anderson et al.'s five-step criteria including study validity, democratic validity, results validity, dialogue validity, and persuasive validity were used.

The results showed that the integration of art and education can be useful. Most of the students believed that with this method, the educational atmosphere was happier and more attractive for them (54%). 90% of students had increased learning of anatomical concepts. Students stated that they had more enthusiasm (81%) and motivation to learn (72%) lessons and learned the concepts of anatomical sciences in a more permanent way (63%). While learning the material, they were more curious to know, on the one hand, what clinical challenges are significant in the topic in question, and on the other hand, what social, personal, and spiritual consequences these problems will face the patient. All this made them more analytical thinking (79%). This method increased creativity (75%) and spirit of cooperation (75%) in most students, and 77% of students preferred it to other educational methods. Also, students' motivational, team, and communication skills increased by changing the study method and creating a multi-dimensional view of issues.

The use of creative drawing in the teaching of anatomical science concepts was able to encourage the students of medical sciences to learn and increase their enthusiasm by creating a happy and attractive educational environment, raising the spirit of teamwork in them and increasing creativity, communication skills, and analytical thinking in them.

The spread of the Covid-19 and the resulting long-term quarantines has changed the lifestyle of a wide range of people and the pushed all of humanity towards self-care. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between psychological self-care and resilience and creativity in response to Covid-19 with the mediating role of lifestyle in women.

This was a descriptive and correlational study. The study population included all the housewives in Kermanshah city in 2022, of which 363 women were selected through convenience sampling method. The resilience scale by Connor-Davidson (2003), lifestyle questionnaire by Laali et al. (2012), the test of creative thinking by Torrance (1966), and the self-care questionnaire by Boroujeni et al. (2020) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and 2 statistical softwares which were SPSS-22 and Smart PLS.

The results showed a direct relationship between psychological self-care and resilience and creativity in response to Covid-19 disease in women (β=0.237, p<0.05). The lifestyle variable also played a mediating role in the relationship among them (Sobel=4.635, Sig<0.001).

It can be claimed that resilience and creativity along with lifestyle play an important role in women’s psychological self-care in response to Covid-19. Therefore, the mental health professionals should pay more attention to improve the mental health during the pandemics.

The purpose of this research is to "investigate the impact of teachers' creativity training on students' creativity development and its implications on the teacher training curriculum".

This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental method with the aim of explaining the necessity of paying attention to teaching creativity in the curriculum of teacher training centers. For this purpose, two groups (n1=90n2) of first grade students of 6 primary schools in District 7 of Tehran (N=2975) in the academic year 2021-2022 were selected by random cluster sampling. Data were collected using "Form B" of Torrance's visual creativity test in two stages, pre-test and post-test.

The results of data analysis using covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference (P = 0.05) between the two experimental and control groups.

This means that the rate of creativity growth of students who were taught by teachers trained in the field of creativity is higher than children whose teachers have not been trained in this field.

Intelligence and creativity are two fundumental epistemological structures that largely determine the cultural richness of our species. In today's complex world, smart and creative people with novel ideas and divergent thinking are among the most valuable assets in any society and nation. Any attempt to include creativity assessment in gifted programs is complex and controversial. Examining the personality characteristics of students with outstanding talent and intelligence is one of the areas of interest for experts and psychologists. Vitality in the family is another factor that pushes children and teenagers more and more towards creativity. Various studies have examined several factors that play a role in the mental health and popularity of intelligent adolescents. Therefore, this study aimed to model the spiritual vitality of parents in relation to creativity with the mediating role of personality traits of gifted girls.

Due to its descriptive–analytical nature, the present research method was presented in the form of structural equation modeling. The study’s statistical population comprised all high school students in Sampad girls' schools in districts 6 and 13 of Tehran City, Iran, in the academic year 2020–2021 with their parents. They were selected as a sample group using the available sampling method. The inclusion criteria for gifted girls were as follows: studying in the secondary level of Sampad schools, being considered as a gifted student in the intelligence test in the academic record, living with their own parents, not suffering from a specific physical disease or psychological disorder, and not being under psychological or special drug treatment. Also, the inclusion criteria for parents of gifted girls were as follows: not being divorced, having at least a diploma level of education, not suffering from a specific physical disease or psychological disorder, and not undergoing psychological or special drug treatment. The exclusion criterion was lack of cooperation in completing the questionnaires. To collect data, Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (Torrance, 2013), Afrooz Spiritual Vitality Questionnaire (Afrooz, 2016) and HEXACO Personality Traits Questionnaire (De Vries et al., 2013) were used. The Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data via SPSS software version 24 and AMOS version 24. The significance level of all tests was 0.05.

Examining the direct path coefficients between different paths showed that spiritual vitality had significant direct effects on personality traits (p=0.018, Beta=0.44) and personality traits on creativity (p=0.047, Beta=0.29). But spiritual vitality lacked a direct effect on creativity (p=0.188, Beta=0.1). The indirect effect of spiritual vitality on creativity with the mediating role of personality traits was significant (p=0.002, Beta=0.129). Considering that most of the fit indices (CMIN/df=2.029, GFI=0.956, NFI=0.918, RMSEA=0.057) were within the permissible range, the collected data were suitable with the proposed research model.

Based on the research findings, the personality characteristics of gifted students mediate the relationship between parents' spiritual vitality and students' creativity. Also, the pattern of structural relationships of parents' spiritual vitality in relation to creativity with the mediating role of gifted children's personality traits has an acceptable fit.

Public health as a key variable has caused most of the international activities and planning to focus on itself. Such a way that improving people's general health level has always been considered a concern. Researchers have found that improving public health can have positive effects in all individual and group areas and ultimately lead to improved people performance. The functions of public health have caused the improvement of its level to be taken seriously as an important issue. However, there are also problems in the way of improving public health, which has caused the development process of public health not to be taken seriously. One of the things that have always attracted the attention of researchers and doctors about health and are used as a method to overcome problems and diseases and raise the level of health is improving the way of thinking and using the mind (mindfulness). Mindfulness is highlighting the importance of mental and intellectual work. The importance of mental training is so much that cognitive scientists consider the achievement of people in special abilities through mind training based on a theory and changes in brain function, mental health, and future professional behavior. On the other hand, the mind includes a wide range of stories, hopes, fears, expectations, desires, imaginations, etc., and three of these states are the main ones in how to interpret and predict people's behavior. These three are desire (which specifies one's goals), belief (based on which we predict what a person believes to be the true state of the world), and pretense (because people do not always act as they are). But to what extent mindfulness affects public health and entrepreneurs who are constantly facing stress and work pressures is a question that needs more research. Another thing that seems to be related to the mindset and problems of entrepreneurs is creativity. Creativity is one of the important and basic key concepts in psychology. In today's world, the ability to adapt and manage changes is the main element of success and survival of every individual, and acquiring these abilities requires people to pay attention to creativity and variety. Successful people are people whose creativity and creativity form the arrowhead of their movement. Improving creativity as one of the key factors in people's success has caused it to seriously affect people's performance. The effort to improve creativity as a necessity in educational systems has always been considered and the process of developing creativity as an important issue has started from a young age. Creativity is one of the characteristics of a human being who can create many things with divine talent. If we remove creativity and innovation from the scene of human life, we have shot a blank arrow at the movement, dynamism, survival, and vitality of human life because stagnation and humiliating repetition of life is equal to death and destruction. Efforts to improve creativity cause innovative activities to be created, and as a result, while enjoying the benefits of innovation; lead to improving the mental state of individuals and groups. Although the effort to improve creativity and public health has been considered an important issue, there is a need for variables that influence the process of improving creativity and public health; Examined. Mindfulness, as one of the key variables, plays an important role in the process of improving people's mental performance, and this mental performance can provide the basis for improving creativity and general health. Cultivating the mind is one of the important issues that cause the proper mental preparation to be formed in people, which leads to improving the functional status of people. Although mindfulness plays an important role in improving the mental state of people, the lack of comprehensive research on its functions in some areas, including creativity and public health, has led to insufficient scientific evidence regarding the role of mindfulness in creativity and the general health of entrepreneurs. Not be On the other hand, this research gap has caused executive activities to improve creativity and public health as an important issue not to be taken seriously. This issue has led to the formation of a research gap in this field. According to the above material, the researcher is trying to answer the question, does mindfulness affect the creativity and general health of entrepreneurs?

The statistical population of the current user research and survey was formed by the entrepreneurs of Golestan province, whose exact number was not available. According to the selection available according to Cochran's sample size formula, 384 people were identified as the research sample in the conditions of uncertainty of the population. To collect data, a 28-question general health questionnaire (4 components of physical symptoms, anxiety, insomnia, insufficient social activity, and depression), a 30-question creativity questionnaire by Rendsip (1979) (4 components of mental persuasion, ideal influence, inspirational motivation, and individual consideration) and the 15-question questionnaire of Anasori et al.'s (2020) whose reliability was obtained as 0.81, 0.83 and 0.86, respectively, were distributed among the sample, and finally, 351 questionnaires were collected.

The results showed that mindfulness has a 0.597 effect on general health and a 0.761 effect on creativity.

Improving mindfulness by improving the level of creativity and general health can have positive effects. According to the results of the present research, it is suggested that holding training courses to improve the skills of entrepreneurs regarding mental cultivation, while increasing the level of their mental cultivation, will lead to the improvement of public health and creativity of these people. According to the results of the present research, it is suggested to hold brainstorming sessions, while increasing the level of creativity of entrepreneurs, to promote the general health and creativity of these people. Finally, because the exact statistics of the number of entrepreneurs were not available, it is not possible to generalize the obtained results to society. Also, the mental condition of the subjects could not be controlled when completing the questionnaires, which is one of the limitations of the present research. In general, the results of this research showed that mindfulness has a significant effect on the general health and creativity of entrepreneurs. Considering the role of the two components of health and creativity in the work progress of entrepreneurs on the one hand and the effect of mindfulness on these components, on the other hand, it is recommended that the officials and those involved in raising the level of general health and creativity of entrepreneurs to mind. To have visa attention.

Standard questionnaires of thinking styles (TSI), creativity and self-efficacy were used to measure the research variables. To analyze the data, K-S statistical tests, Pearson correlation, multivariate regression and Sobel test were used using SPSS software(version 24).

The results of the regression equation show that thinking style is qualified to predict creativity and thinking style is qualified to predict It is self-efficacy. The results of the Sobel test show that the thinking style variable has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between self-efficacy and creativity. According to the research findings, there is a positive and significant relationship between thinking style, creativity and self-efficacy.

Considering the existence of a significant relationship between the thinking style and the creativity and self-efficacy of nurses, it is necessary for the higher officials of the organization to provide training grounds for all nurses withall thinking styles in this organization.

 Comparing psychodynamic approaches for better effectiveness is one of the topics of interest to researchers; In this regard, the aim of this research is to compare the effectiveness of teaching positive thinking skills and emotional self-regulation on the creativity of students.

 The research method is semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population was the students of girls' high schools of the second level in Tehran. The statistical sample of this research includes 45 female students with positive thinking skills (15 people), emotional self-regulation (15 people) and the control group (15 people). Sampling method was available. The research tool was Abedi's creativity questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean and standard deviation, covariance analysis, and multivariate repeated measurement analysis test using SPSS version 25 software.

  The results showed that in both test groups, the average scores related to creativity in the post-test stage were significant compared to the pre-test, and this increase continued for both groups until the follow-up stage (P≤0.05).

 It seems that the skills of positive thinking and emotional self-regulation have an effect on all the components of students' creativity.

In todaychr('39')s world, the field of teaching-learning is one of the cognitive, emotional activities. Also, considering the category of self-efficacy under cognitive-social theory, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting the academic self-efficacy of students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between learning styles and creativity with studentschr('39') academic self-efficacy.

The research method is descriptive-correlational and the research population includes all eighth grade students (second grade of first secondary school) in Neka city. The research instrument consisted of questionnaires of learning style, creativity and academic self-efficacy, whose reliability was confirmed by Cronbachchr('39')s alpha coefficient and validity was confirmed by experts.

Findings show that the mean of academic self-efficacy, creativity and learning style among students is higher than the hypothetical average of the Likert scale. Findings also indicate a significant relationship between four styles of convergent, divergent, absorbing and adaptive learning with academic self-efficacy. Other findings of the research can be a positive and significant relationship between creativity (r = 0.42) and its dimensions, ie; Fluidity (r = 0.20), expansion (r = 0.22), initiative (r = 0.23) and flexibility (r = 0.57) with academic self-efficacy.

Considering the positive and significant relationship between learning styles and creativity with studentschr('39') academic self-efficacy, as well as the importance of junior high school in adolescence and the existence of Thames International Study in eighth grade, it is suggested that educators improve and enhance self-efficacy. Students should set up a workshop and educate teachers and students about learning styles and attitudes toward creativity.

As we move forward, the importance of adolescent student creativity becomes more apparent, yet creativity has received less attention among students. The aim of this study was to present a model of creativity based on psychological well-being mediated by the role of self-efficacy in students.

In terms of purpose, this study was basic research that was conducted using the descriptive-correlative method and structural model analysis (SEM). The statistical population included all high school students studying in 2018–2019 in Abbas Abad, a city located in Mazandaran Province. In this regard, a sample of 314 people (269 girls and 45 boys) participated in the study using the available sampling method. Data were collected using the Creativity Questionnaire (Abedi, 1992), the Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB) (Riff, 2002), and the Sherer's Genenal Self-Efficacy Scale (SGSES; 1982). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and Lisrel software.

The results of the research showed that the direct effect of psychological well-being on creativity is 0.31 (P = 0/002), self-efficacy on creativity is 0.37 (0/001), and psychological well-being on self-efficacy is 0.79 (P = 0/002). Also, the indirect effect of psychological well-being on creativity mediated by self-efficacy was 0.11 (T = 3/32). Therefore, according to the results, the present model had a good fit and was approved.

The present results provide valuable insights for researchers and educators on issues related to creativity for students, and the importance of self-efficacy in relation to students' creativity and psychological well-being has been supported.

The present research was conducted to determine the effect of narrative therapy on verbal intelligence, creativity, and lexical literature in children of Tohid Kindergarten in Isfahan, Iran.

This was an experimental pretest-posttest study with control group. For this purpose, from all children of Tohid Kindergarten in Isfahan City in 2018-2019, 30 children were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Then the experimental group was trained in 8 sessions of 4 minutes. Before and after the implementation of the independent variable, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) (verbal understanding and lexical range) and the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT) (form B) were used as research tools. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

In the pre-test, the mean of verbal intelligence, lexical literature, and creativity in the experimental group was 101, 10.7, 58.7, respectively. And in the post-test phase of the experimental group, these values were obtained 104, 11.5, 65.6, respectively, which indicates an increase in variables in the post-test stage compared to the pre-test. In addition, in the pre-test of the control group, mean of verbal intelligence, lexical literature, and creativity was reported as 99.3, 10.4, and 59, respectively, and in the post-test stage, these values were obtained 99, 10.05, and 58.6, respectively, which indicates that the values of variables in the control group did not differ in pre-test and post-test. Therefore, storytelling training had a significant effect on verbal intelligence (F = 12.88, P < 0.001), lexical literature (F = 14.6, P < 0.001), and creativity (F = 108.48, P < 0.001) variables.

Some students have problems in the field of verbal skills and on the other hand, verbal skills are a kind of crystallized intelligence. The results showed that using the method of storytelling had a significant effect on children's verbal intelligence, lexical literature, and creativity in the experimental group compared to control group.
