Spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence are considered to be a well-being determinant in the students. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation of spiritual well-being with spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence in students of Mohaghegh Ardebili University.

The present study is a descriptive-correlational research which was conducted on 382 students of Mohaghegh Ardebili University in the academic year 2016-2017, selected by multistage cluster sampling method. The data collection instruments were "Spiritual Well-Being Scale", "King's Spiritual Intelligence Scale" and "Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire". Validity and reliability of questionnaires have been proven in previous studies. Data were analyzed using SPSS. 18.

There was a significant correlation between spiritual intelligence (r = 0.59) and emotional intelligence (r = 0.55) with spiritual well-being among students (P <0.05). Also, the results of stepwise regression showed that spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence in students predict their spiritual well-being (P <0.05).

Spiritual and emotional intelligence is one of the variables related to spiritual well-being of students and is able to predict it. It is suggested that policymakers provide educational programs by providing appropriate educational content and environment and adopt effective strategies for improving the spiritual well-being of students during their education.

Regular physical activity as an important health promoting behavior can prevent or delay the development of chronic diseases. The purpose of the present study was to determine the factors related to exercising based on the “Theory of Planned Behavior “in boys in in Ijrod City of Zanjan.

The present study is descriptive-correlational. In this research, a sample of 185 boys in the city of Yazd, Zanjan, was selected through Cochran's formula by cluster random sampling. Data were collected through demographic questionnaire and "Planned Behavior Theory Questionnaire" in 6 sections. Content validity Index and reliability were measured by Cronbach's alpha. Data were analyzed using LISREL software version 8/8 and SPSS.22.

Attitude to exercise (β = 32.5) and control of perceived behavior about exercise (β = 31.1) has a positive correlation with the intention to exercise. In addition, the subjective norm to exercise (β = 27.9) has positive and direct correlation with the intention to exercise. Controlling perceived behavior about exercise (β=27.1) was indirect correlation with exercise by intention to exercise (β = 62.0).

Attitude to exercise and subjective norms about exercising by explaining more than 88% of the variance in the intention to exercise was an important factor in explaining the intention to exercise. Therefore, it is suggested that factors associated with attitude and subjective norms regarding the exercise of non-athlete boys should be considered in order to maintain exercise.

The most common gastrointestinal disorders are gastrointestinal dysfunctions, which is one of the most common types of gastrointestinal dysfunction that can impair health and quality of life. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment group therapy and cognitive-behavioral group therapy on quality of life, anxiety and depression in patients with functional indigestion.

This was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study was women with functional indigestion referring to gastrointestinal clinics in Arak in 2018. A total of 33 individuals were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly assigned into three groups (11 individuals in each group). Experimental groups received 8 sessions of 90 minutes, respectively, with acceptance, commitment, and cognitive-behavioral methods, and the control group received no training. Research instruments were the “Nepean's Dyspepsia Index for Quality of Life”, the “Beck's Anxiety Inventory”, and the “Beck's Depression Inventory”. In the present study, face validity and content validity of the instruments were measured and confirmed by experts and reliability was measured by Cronbach's alpha method. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 22.

Acceptance and commitment group therapy and cognitive-behavioral group therapy increased quality of life and reduced anxiety and depression in patients with functional dyspepsia compared to the control group. Also, cognitive-behavioral method reduced depression in comparison with acceptance and commitment, but there was no significant difference between them in enhancing quality of life and reducing anxiety (P <0.05).

The results showed the importance of both methods, especially cognitive behavioral group therapy in enhancing quality of life and reducing anxiety and depression in patients with functional dyspepsia. Therefore, clinical psychologists and therapists can use these methods, especially cognitive behavioral group therapy, for quality of life, anxiety, and depression interventions.
