An investigation of the job satisfaction of teachers to improve their efficiency and its impact on the students' achievement has been of great interest. So, the purpose of the present research was to investigate the relationship between mental health and job satisfaction of teachers. Statistical community of this research was all the teachers of Tarom district of Gazvin province. The sample includes 100 teachers that have been chosen via cluster multistage sampling method. Assessment instruments were the General health questionnaire (GHQ) and the job satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using pearsonian correlation coefficient and Stepwise multiple regressions. Findings showed that there is a positive correlation between physical health, general health and job satisfaction and also there is a negative correlation between depression, anxiety and social function with job satisfaction. Stepwise regression analysis showed that depression, anxiety, social function and physical health in four steps, could explain 706% of variance in job satisfaction. This information can be used in development and implementation of educational and therapeutic programs designed to improve mental health and job satisfaction of teachers.

This study aimed to compare the general health and defense mechanisms in addicted prisoners, non-addicts and normal people. The study of causal- comparative was implemented, with a sample size of 180 addicted prisoners, non-addicts and normal people (60 in each group) who were matched in terms of demographic characteristics, Data were collected by the general health questionnaire of Goldberg et-al and Andrews' defense questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance and Tukey test. The results showed a difference in all components of general health and developed defense mechanisms among the three groups of prisoners of drug addicts, non-addicts and normal people. There was a difference between neurotic and immature defense mechanisms of normal individuals and addicted prisoners, and also between prisoners and normal people. But there wasn't any difference between the non-addicted and addict prisoners. Important information on the Prevention of Crime and Treatment we can get comparing the above groups.

Different theories have tried to define depression. One of these theories is determining depression with negative thought. The aim of this study was to investigate reviewing rumination and self-talk in predicting the symptoms of depressed women. The subjects of this study were 152 female students who were selected from among 300 junior female students of human science in Tabriz University. They were selected non-randomly and then completed self-talk questionnaire, Beck depression inventory and Rumination test. Data were analyzed by Pierson correlation and regression. Findings show that there is a significant relationship between rumination and Social assessment, Self-reinforcement, Self-criticism, Self-management. Also, rumination and Self-reinforcement, Self-criticism, Self-management can predict depression. This relationship revealed that rumination and self-talk in depression, are important factors in cognitive aspect of depression.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of exercise training programs on the happiness, social skills and life satisfaction in women attending Isfahan private fitness clubs in 2013. The research was a quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design including 30 women, aged 20 to 50 years. As a pre-test the questionnaires of Oxford Happiness (Argail and Krvslnd, 1987), Life Satisfaction Scale (Diener et al, 1985) and Social Skills Scale (Ryjyv, 1989) were distributed to all of the participants. Then they were randomly divided into an experimental and control (15 per person) groups. The experimental group did aerobic exercises for 4 weeks and 3 sessions per week, each session lasted for 60 minutes. In the end, both groups were asked to complete three questionnaires again. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used. The results showed that aerobic exercise has an effect on the happiness and life satisfaction of women in the experimental group (p<0.05). But the findings showed that aerobic exercise have no significant effect on the social skills and its dimensions (social control, social sensitivity, social expression, emotional control, emotional sensitivity and emotional expression) of the studied sample. Regarding the positive effects of aerobic exercise on happiness and life satisfaction, it is recommended that this practice be included in the training programs of aerobics and fitness for women.

The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationship between effective relations of spouses, and mother–child relations emphasizing the meditational role of Attachment style, Personality traits, Communication skills and Sexual satisfaction. Accordingly, 260 individuals including mothers and their children were randomly selected, and assessed by a package of questionnaires, including: Spouses communication pattern (Christensen and Sullaway, 1991), adult attachment style (Bernan, Fraley & Waller), Communication skills (Attarha and Karami, 2010), NEO (Mccrae, 1992), sexual satisfaction (Larson and et al), and mother-child relation (Fine, Moreland & Schwbel, 1983) questionnaires. After performing structural equations to test the relationships among parental relations, and parent–child relations via mediating variables, it became evident that the proposed model had enough goodness of fit, and hence mother-child relations can be predicted via the role of Attachment style personality traits, Communication skills and sexual satisfaction and mediating effective spouse Communication. The results showed Neuroticism leading to an effective reduction of communication of spouses, while agreeableness, sexual satisfaction, communication skills and secure attachment increase this relationship. Regarding the mother, child relationship, agreeableness, and sexual satisfaction increased this relationship, while, neuroticism and paternal anxious attachment decreased the mother, child relationship.

Due to the literature about this topic and the results of the study, it should be noted that usually every organization at first is established as a small unit. At the beginning of the organization activity, the culture is formed quickly in it according to several factors. Culture formation depends on the reasons for the creation of organization and its place in the society and its success factors such as efficiency, quality of providing services, innovation, hard work and loyalty to the organization. When an organizationis made, it takes a lot of effort from the staff to the success of the organization. Regarding the role of organizational culture in enhancing the quality of health care, considering its effective variables is of extraordinary importance. In the meantime, social capital is one of the variables that influences on organizational culture and facilitates the certain acts of individuals within the structure; accordingly, the purpose of this article is to study the role of social capital in organizational culture from the nurse's perspectives. This research is practical according to its purpose, but according to the Research Methodology is of a descriptive -correlative type. The statistical sample of the research includes 200 nurses working in different sectors in hospitals of the city of Zanjan city. In this article, a research form has been used to gather the theoretical basics and research literature; In addition, to gather data for testing the research hypotheses, two questionnaires were used which were distributed among statistical sample of the investigation, after examining their reliability and stability. In order to analyze the data, the Pearson's correlation coefficient tests and structural equations were used. The findings suggest that social capital with a standardized coefficient of 0.76 and 11.63 t-values has an impact on organizational culture. As well, social capital impacts on the sustainability culture by a factor of 0.585, on the responsibility culture by a factor of 0.463, and on collaborative culture by a factor of 0.789 and on the adaptation culture by a factor of 0.567. Accordingly, it has been proposed that managers can strengthen the social capital by giving more authority to nurses, establishing different work teams, and creating more sense of confidence in the staff and colleagues and as a result, the organizational culture is consolidated and the benefits of a strong culture will be used. Results obtained for this research have some limitations, including use of questionnaires and due to those in the diagnosis of the actual/available situation, it is recommended that in future researches, other tools should be used to collect data in addition to using questionnaires. Another limitation of this study is in its statistical sample; Statistical sample of the present study consists of only 200 nurses who seem low with regard to the number of employees in this job; therefore, more cautious should be taken in generalizing the results of the study to the general society.
