Introduction: Nursing in the oncology ward is associated with various stressors that can affect the psychological status of nurses. This study aimed to determine the effect of positive thinking skills training on the happiness and resilience of nurses in oncology center in shahid baqaei two hospitals of Ahvaz. Methods: This quasi-experimental interventional study was performed in 2021. 64 nurses working in five oncology wards of Baqaei two Hospitals in Ahvaz were selected by the available sampling method and entered the study. Research tools included a demographic questionnaire, Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Connor Resilience, and Davidson CD-RIS. For the experimental group, the intervention including optimism and positive thinking skills training (Martin Seligman 1988) was performed in 8 sessions of 45 minutes and a retest was performed one week after the intervention. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of age groups, gender, education level, marital status, employment status, work experience, and shift work in the test and control groups (P<0. 05). The paired t-test showed that there was a significant difference in the resilience score of the test group before and after the intervention (P < 0. 001), while there was no significant difference in the control group (P = 0. 053). The independent t-test showed that the two groups did not have a significant difference in terms of resilience before the intervention (P = 0. 094), while after the intervention, this difference was significant (P < 0. 001). Also, the paired t-test showed that the happiness score of the test group before and after the intervention had a significant difference (P<0. 001), and there was also a significant difference in the control group (P = 0. 028). The independent t-test showed that the two groups had a significant difference in terms of the variable of happiness before (P = 0. 016) and after the intervention (P < 0. 001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the level of happiness and resilience of nurses is enhanced by teaching positive thinking skills. Positive Thinking Skills Training is an uncomplicated, low-cost, and practicable approach that has been proven to be effective in this study and can therefore be widely used as an empowerment program for nursing staff, especially in oncology wards.

Introduction: Dialysis is a stressful process and causes depression in more than half of patients under hemodialysis. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of metacognitive therapy on depression and post-traumatic growth of patients under hemodialysis. Methods: The present study was a clinical trial with a pre-test and post-test and a three-month followup. This study was conducted on 36 patients (18 in each of the control and intervention groups) referred to Imam Ali (AS) and Shahid Rajaei Hospital in Karaj city in 2020. In this study, patients were included in the study by using the convenience sampling method with random assignment. For the intervention group, eight sessions 60-minute of metacognitive therapy were held individually and face-to-face in the wards of dialysis in the two hospitals. Beck depression questionnaire and posttraumatic growth questionnaire were used to collect data in this study. Then the data were analyzed using the covariance analysis method in SPSS version 23 with a significance level of less than 0. 05. Results: The results of univariate covariance analysis showed that there are significant differences between the intervention and control groups in the post-test and follow-up stages (p<0. 001) in the intervention group in terms of reducing depression symptoms (F=342. 17) and in growth after an accident (F=267. 44) in the post-test stage, there are significant differences, which were not observed in the control group. Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, metacognitive therapy using techniques such as postponing worry, challenging beliefs related to risk, and stopping the inhibition of avoidance behaviors, has good clinical efficacy in improving depression symptoms and post-traumatic growth in patients under hemodialysis. In addition, it is suggested to carry out wider metacognitive therapy studies as an effective intervention method to improve depression and post-traumatic growth of patients under hemodialysis.

Introduction: The quality of nursing care is an important factor in the field of health services and providing quality care to patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational stressors and the quality of care of nurses during the Corona outbreak, with the mediation of cognitive evaluation and occupational involvement. Methods: The current research method was a descriptive correlation type (path analysis). The statistical population of this research included all the nurses of the public hospitals of Mashhad in 1401, which was selected using Morgan's table, a sample size of 400 people, and the questionnaires were completed by the available sampling method through the distribution of the questionnaire link in the virtual space. The research tools were the Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PESNWI), Nurses Occupational Stressors Questionnaire (NOSS), Cognitive Assessment Questionnaire, and Short Form of Occupational Involvement Questionnaire (UWES-9). Data were analyzed using path analysis and Amos24 software. Results: The findings from the path analysis showed that for the hypothetical model, all the indicators indicated that the model did not fit. The direct paths from job stress to cognitive evaluation and job engagement were positive and significant. The direct way of cognitive evaluation to the quality of care and the direct path of job engagement to quality of care were positive and significant. But the direct way of occupational stress on the quality of care was negative and significant. The indirect effect of job stressors on the quality of care with the mediation of job conflict and job stressors with the mediation of cognitive evaluation had a positive and significant relationship with the quality of care. Conclusions: It can be said that occupational involvement and cognitive evaluation alone had a mediating role in the relationship between occupational stressors and the quality of care of nurses during the outbreak of Covid-19.

Introduction Having children with autism causes stress to parents, which negatively affects their quality of life. This issue that having a child with autism spectrum affects the father or mother more has been less investigated. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of comparing parenting stress and quality of life and the relationship between these concepts in couples with autistic children. Methods The current research is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional. The research population included 96 couples with children with autism who referred to autism centers in Bushehr and Shiraz cities in 2019,who were included in the research using the census method. Data collection tools included demographic form, parenting stress and quality of life questionnaires. Mean, standard deviation and frequency tables were used to describe the data, and paired t-tests and Pearson correlation were used to analyze the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS V. 19 software. Results The average age of mothers and fathers was 48. 48±, 8. 41 and 53. 31±, 7. 90 respectively. The average score of parenting stress in fathers and mothers was 133. 84±, 9. 85 and 134. 73±, 17. 92, respectively, and the average quality of life of fathers and mothers was 54. 85±, 7. 45 and 53. 56±, 5. 70, respectively. The two groups had no statistically significant difference in average quality of life (p=0. 157) and parenting stress (P=0. 900). There was an inverse and significant statistical relationship between fathers' parenting stress with their mental (p=0. 008) and physical (p=0. 004) quality of life and also between mothers' parenting stress with their mental (p<0. 001) and physical (p=0. 001) quality of life. Conclusions The results showed that both parents of children with autism experience the same high parenting stress and similar quality of life. Parents' stress of parenting can affect their quality of life,which is stronger in mothers than in fathers. Therefore, developing parenting stress reduction programs for couples with autistic children should be on the agenda of health policy makers.

Introduction: Nurses form an important stratum in any society, and due to the large and tedious workload, in some cases, they cannot solve the problems related to marital and sexual life well. This can lead to a decrease in the quality of their marital relationship, so it is important to determine the level of sexual satisfaction and the factors that affect it. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of marital intimacy in the relationship between self-differentiation and attachment styles with sexual satisfaction in female nurses in Yazd hospitals in 1396 years. Methods: The present study was an analytical study of structural equation modeling. The statistical population was all female nurses of hospitals in Yazd in 2019,200 of them were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. In this research, Skowron and Friedlander’, s self-differentiation questionnaire (1998), Collins & Read’, s attachment questionnaire (1990), Walker & Thompson’, s marital intimacy questionnaire (1983), and Hudson, Harrison & Kruskapp’, s sexual satisfaction questionnaire (1981) were adopted for data collection. Pearson’, s correlation test, using SPSS-21 software, and structural equation modeling using Amos-24 software, were used to analyze the data. Results: The findings showed that secure attachment (P<0. 001), avoidant attachment (P<0. 01), and marital intimacy (P< 0. 001) have a significant direct effect on sexual satisfaction. Also, avoidant (P< 0. 01) and ambivalent (P< 0. 05) attachment has a direct and significant effect on marital intimacy. Avoidant (P< 0. 01) and ambivalent (P< 0. 05) attachment has an indirect effect on sexual satisfaction through marital intimacy. The indirect effect of self-differentiation and secure attachment through marital intimacy on sexual satisfaction is not statistically significant (P<0. 05). Also, the direct effect of self-differentiation and secure attachment on marital intimacy is not significant (P<0. 05). Conclusions: The use of effective education for the enhancement of nurses’,attachment style and marital intimacy can help to improve and increase the nurses' sexual satisfaction and therapists can also achieve desired results using these strategies.
