Introduction: The aim of study was to explain students' hope based on coping styles and meaning of life. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population of the study included all undergraduate students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) who were studying in the academic year 2019-2020. To determine the sample size, similar research studies was used. 200 students were collected for sample size. In order to collect research data from Snyder Hope Scale (SHS), Meaning of Life Questionnaire and Coping Strategies Questionnaire (Lazarus and Folkman, 1980) and to analyze the data from correlation coefficient and regression analysis using SPSS20 software was performed. In the first hypothesis, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variable of hope and problem-oriented coping style (Sig <0. 05) and there is a negative and significant relationship between the variable of hope and emotionoriented strategies (Sig <0. 05). In the second hypothesis, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between hope and the presence of meaning in life and between hope and the search for meaning in life (Sig <0. 05). In the third hypothesis, the results related to the beta of coping styles show that the problem-oriented strategy at 13% is able to predict meaningful changes in life in a positive and significant way (Sig <0. 05). But the emotion-oriented strategy variable could not significantly explain the hope variable (Sig> 0. 05) and the components of meaning in life also showed that the variables of meaning in life and meaning search can account for 24% and 13% of the changes in the hope variable, respectively. Predict a positive and significant face (Sig <0. 05).

Introduction: Anxiety is the most prevalent psychological reaction to childbirth in women, especially in primiparous ones who are not well prepared for assuming the maternal role. Given the importance of maintaining and improving health in women and reducing their psychological complications during pregnancy and childbirth as well as the costs of care and treatment, paying attention to accessible and cost-effective spiritual care-giving Methods with fewer complications is crucial. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of spiritual care on anxiety about childbirth in primiparous women.

The research setting was all health centers of Shemiranat District. The data collection tool was a threepart questionnaire, including a) demographic characteristics, b) Self-compassion Scale c) Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the SPSS software version 16. Results: According to the results, the highest percentage of the research units had a moderate level of self-compassion (69%). The results indicated that the highest mean score achieved in common humanity component (3. 58± 0. 58) and the lowest mean score obtained in self-judgment component (2. 83± 0. 68). The results showed a significant correlation between self-compassion and attitudes to ageing (P value˂ 0. 05). Conclusions: The results of this study indicated a significant correlation between self-compassion and attitude to ageing in the middle-aged population of Tehran.

Introduction: Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune and chronic blistering mucocutaneous disease that has a negative effect on patients quality of life and also leisure sports activities are useful and uncomplicated method to improve the quality of life of both patients and healthy people as we have seen in relevant litertures. We wanted to investigate whether leisure time physical activities are effetive on quality of life and clinical symptoms of pemphigus vulgaris patients. Methods: Present study is a randomised clinical trial and 76 patients with pemphigus vulgaris were included in the study and were randomly divided into two equal control and intervention groups. DLQI questionnaires, medical and personal demographic information were recorded by patients and PDAI index was recorded by a dermatologist at both before and after the intervention. The intervention included leisure sports activities such as walking in the park for 60 minutes for 8 weeks, three sessions per week and one day in between. Independent t-test was used to compare two quantitative samples and paired t-test was used to compare two dependent quantitative samples and their nonparametric equivalents test were used. All statistical analyzes were performed by SPSS software version 25. Results: Leisure sports activities improved the quality of life of patients in the intervention group compared to the control group after 8 weeks. (P-value = 0. 045, 2. 97 ± 5. 2 vs 6. 45 ± 7. 5) But no significant difference was observed between the two groups in the PDAI clinical symptom severity index. Conclusions: Leisure sports activities can be recommended as a useful and uncomplicated method to improve the quality of life of patients with pemphigus vulgaris, although it has no effect on the improvement of clinical symptoms in two mounths comparing between intervention group and control group. (P-value = 0. 066, 1. 89 ± 4. 97 vs 4 ± 6) of course comparing each group to itself during the time of intervention both clinical symptoms and qulity of life are significantly improved (P-value<0. 001) (P-value=0. 004) resepectively.

Introduction: Cancer pain is a common occurrence, which the subjective nature of that makes the difference in perception between nurse and patient.
