Objectives This study aims to determine the effectiveness of psychodrama in reducing the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in primary school students living in earthquake-stricken areas. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test/post-test design using a control group. The study population consists of all male primary school students diagnosed with PTSD living in Salas-e Babajani County, Kermanshah, Iran. Of these, 40 were selected using a purposive sampling method and based on the PTSD criteria, and were then divided into two groups of intervention (n=20) and control (n=20). Research instruments were a diagnostic interview based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) criteria and the PTSD Checklist for DSM5 (PCL-5) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using one-way and multivariate analysis of covariance. Results Psychodrama reduced the symptoms of PTSD in children with an effect size of 0. 51 (P<0. 001). Conclusion Psychodrama is an effective method for reducing the PTSD symptoms and neuropsychological problems. For the generalization of its results, further studies are recommended.

Objectives The present study aims to investigate the effect of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) on pain self-efficacy, fatigue, life expectancy and depression in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods In this quasi-experimental clinical trial with a pretest/posttest design, 68 patients with MS referred to MS clinics and MS Association of Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran were selected using a convenience sampling technique, and were then assigned into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received ten 2-hour weekly sessions of CBGT, while the control group received no treatment. In the pretest and posttest phases, Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Snyder’, s Adult Hope Scale (AHS) and Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) were completed by all subjects. The collected data were analyzed using ANCOVA and t-test. Results The CBGT significantly improved pain self-efficacy (P=0. 001) and life expectancy (P=0. 001) and reduced fatigue (P=0. 02) and depression (P=0. 003) in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion CBGT can increase pain self-efficacy, life expectancy and reduce fatigue and depression in patients with MS.

Objectives Difficulty in emotional regulation is an important component in the pathology of different types of addiction and its evaluation can be helpful in understanding and treating these difficulties. The purpose of this study is to evaluate emotional regulation in people with opioid dependence (heroin and opium), food addiction, and internet addiction compared to normal people. Methods This is a causal-comparative study. Participants were 120 eligible male addicts selected using a purposive sampling method and divided into four groups of 30 including drug addiction, food addiction, internet addiction, and control. Semi-structured clinical interview for DSM-IV axis I disorders, Yale Food Addiction Scale, and Young’, s Internet Addiction Test were used to diagnose the addictions. Then the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) was completed. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to analyze the collected data. Results Overall DERS score and the score of its subscales were higher in all three addiction groups compared to the control group, and this difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). There was no significant difference between the three addiction groups in subscales of “, unwillingness to accept certain emotional responses”,and “, difficulty engaging in goal-directed behavior”, , but a significant difference between the three addiction groups was observed in subscales of “, difficulty controlling impulse”, , “, lack of emotional awareness”, , “, lack of access to strategies”, , “, lack of emotional clarity”, , and overall DERS score (P<0. 05). Conclusion Men with opioid dependence, internet addiction and food addiction have more difficulties in emotional regulation compared to their normal peers. Emotional regulation ability in men with internet addiction is greater than in those with food and opioid addictions.

Objectives The current study aims to provide a structural modeling of self-harm behaviors in adolescents based on their temperament and character traits, emotion regulation strategies, and perceived parenting. Methods This is a descriptive/correlational study. The study population consists of all high school students (1-3th grade) during 2017-2018 in Tehran, Iran. Of these, 159 with a mean age of 15±, 0. 75 years were selected by using a cluster sampling technique. they were assessed by Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and Deliberate Self-Harming Inventory (DSHI). For data analysis, Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling were conducted in LISREL V. 8. 8 and SPSS V. 20 applications. Results Novelty seeking dimension of TCI and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had a direct and positive relationship with self-harming behavior. Although harm avoidance dimension of TCI and authoritarian parenting had no direct effect on self-harming behaviors, they became effective after mediation by maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and novelty seeking together were able to predict 22% of the variance in self-harming behavior Conclusion Novelty seeking personality trait and authoritarian parenting can affect and predict selfharming behaviors of the adolescents.

Objectives Due to the importance of social support and healthy lifestyle, this study aims to evaluate the relationship of perceived social support with health-promoting lifestyle in women who participated in national breast cancer early detection program. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 1000 women participating in breast cancer early detection program in Arak, Iran were selected from 16 health centers using a convenience sampling method. Two questionnaires of Perceived Social Support (PSS) and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) were completed on behalf of them. To describe the variables, mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage were used. The Pearson correlation test was used for examining the correlation between study variables. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS V. 23 software. Results The Mean±, SD age of women was 33. 78±, 11. 30 years. There was a significant correlation between perceived social support and health-promoting lifestyle (r=0. 42). Regarding HPLP dimensions, perceived social support had the highest and lowest correlation with spiritual growth (r=0. 46) and physical activity (0. 26) dimensions, respectively. Regarding the PSS dimensions, health-promoting lifestyle had the highest and lowest correlation with family support (r=0. 40) and the support from friends (r=0. 30), respectively. Conclusion There is a direct and significant relationship between perceived social support and healthpromoting lifestyle in women. Therefore, by increasing their social support, it is possible to promote their healthy lifestyle.
