Emotional expression is an important element of a normal and dynamic relationship. Therefore, it is essential to identify effective factors on emotional expressiveness in married women. As a result, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the simple and multiple relationships between experiential avoidance, communication skills, and emotional expression in married women of Bandar Abbas City in 2022.

This study is a descriptive one. The statistical population of the present study included all married women in Bandar Abbas City in 2022, who have been married for at least 3 years, and 205 of them were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection tools included emotional expression questionnaire, experiential avoidance questionnaire, and communication skills questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed simultaneously by using Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression.

The results showed that emotional expression has a significant and negative correlation with experiential avoidance (r=-0.19; p<0.001). But emotional expression has a positive and significant correlation with listening communication skills (r=0.18; p<0.001) and insight into the communication process (r=0.21; p<0.001). The results of regression also showed that 34 percent of the total variance of emotional expression is explained by experiential avoidance, communication skills of listening, and insight into the communication process.

The results of regression analysis showed that experiential avoidance factors, communication skills of active listening, and insight into the process play an important role in influencing the level of emotional expression in married women. Therefore, a detailed examination of the effects of these factors will probably help counseling and psychology professionals in a practical way in intervention and counseling programs.

Mobile phone dependency has become a global problem due to its high incidence, rapid growth rate, and serious adverse consequences. The aim of this study was to model the structural relationships of mobile phone addiction in male students based on negative excitement and boredom proneness with the mediating role of self-monitoring.

This study was a descriptive study, and the statistical population consisted of all male high school students studying in public schools in Ardabil in the academic year 1400. From this population, a sample of 170 people were selected by convenience sampling method, and answered the questionnaires of mobile phone addiction, boredom proneness, negative excitement, and self-monitoring. In order to analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used.

The results showed that negative excitement with a coefficient value of 0.38 and boredom proneness with a coefficient value of 0.27 directly have a significant effect on mobile phone addiction. Also, negative excitement with a coefficient value of 0.20 and boredom proneness with a coefficient value of 0.12 indirectly have a significant effect on mobile phone addiction with the mediation of self-monitoring (p<0.001).

According to the results of the present study, interventions related to boredom, negative excitement, and self-monitoring are recommended for training to facilitate valuable activities, manage negative emotions, and regularly practice self-monitoring.

Implementation of health education programs is one of the necessary ways to prevent diabetes in teenagers. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of educational intervention on preventive behaviors of type 2 diabetes based on the health belief model.

This Quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2019 on 143 at-risk high school boys in Khash city (in the southwest of Iran) who were selected by cluster random sampling and were randomly assigned into two groups (70 students in the intervention group, 73 students in the control group). The data collection tool was a questionnaire of demographic characteristics, knowledge, model constructs, and disease prevention behaviors. The educational program was held in 7 one-hour sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. The data were collected before the intervention, immediately, and three months after the intervention and were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t- test, and two-way repeated measures ANOVA.

The changes in the mean score of knowledge, model constructs, and behavior in the intervention group during three times (before training, immediately, and three months after training) were significant (p<0.001). The average behavior score of the intervention group in the pre-test stage was 17.36 out of 35, which increased to 22.96 immediately after the intervention and declined to 18.57 three months later, but this trend in the control group was decreasing over time.

Considering the effect of the program based on the health belief model in promoting diabetes prevention behaviors in students, it is recommended to design, implement, and evaluate a theory-based program with the aim of controlling and preventing diabetes in adolescents.

Wastewater treatment of paper recycling and cardboard industries with the aim of water recycling and reducing environmental impact is one of the daily needs of industries. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to optimize the conditions of coagulation and flocculation process in wastewater treatment of paper recycling industries using the response surface method.

In this laboratory study, response surface method and central composite design were used to design the experiments and to determine the effects of the studied variables (pH, concentrations of alum, Poly aluminum chloride (PAC), and cationic polymer) on the total suspended solid (TSS) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. Data analysis was done using ANOVA statistical test with a significant level of 0.05.

The results showed that in the combination of PAC with cationic polymer (optimal conditions; pH=7.5, PAC concentration=450 mg/L, cationic polymer concentration=1.5 mg/L), the TSS and COD removal efficiency were 97.34% and 75.76%, respectively. In combination of alum with cationic polymer (optimal conditions; pH=8.5, alum concentration=550 mg/L, cationic polymer concentration=2 mg/L), removal efficiencies were 98.96% and 77.83%, respectively. The simultaneous effects of two independent variables, pH and concentration, had a significant effect (p<0.05) in removing TSS and COD variables.

The results showed that the combination of PAC with cationic polymer had a better efficiency. Also, the COD and TSS in the final effluent were higher and lower than the standard values, respectively. Therefore, chemical coagulation process is proposed as pretreatment.

Suicide is a serious issue, so it needs to be addressed. The purpose of this review study is to a Systematic Review on the prevalence and Causes of Suicide (Thoughts and Actions) In Iranian School and University Students.

This study is a systematic review carried out in April 2022, using different search engines including SID, Magiran, Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, PubMed, Scopus, as well as the keywords “Suicide”, “University”, “Student”, and their Persian equivalents in relation to Iranian school and university students. 27 articles were reviewed.

The results of this study revealed that suicide attempt in students varied from 6 to 8.3% and suicidal ideation ranged from 2.8 to 7.49%. The most important causes of suicide were mental disorders, depression, low resilience, loneliness, hopelessness, family factors, weakness of religious beliefs, and stressors. 

Psychological interventions include religion-based and metacognitive therapy, resilience and positive thinking skills training, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and positive psychology training. Regular screening and psychological interventions can be used to prevent, treat, and reduce suicidal ideation among students.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitude of social network users of Ilam province regarding the vaccination of Covid-19 in 2021.

In the present descriptive study, 739 users of social networks in Ilam province were selected by convenience sampling. The research-made questionnaire was completed online. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate regression.

The mean attitude score was at a weak level in 47 people (6.36%), moderate in 619 people (83.6%), and good in 73 people (9.88%). There was a significant relationship between age, education, job, and attitude (p <0.05). There was no significant relationship between gender, marital status, place of habitat, and attitude (p> 0.05)

Most of the users of social networks had a moderate level of attitude about vaccinations. Considering the possibility of the next waves of covid-19, planning to improve people's attitudes is necessary.
