Abstract: 

The behavioral-cognitive framework offers methods for stress assessment and its relevant coping strategies. The present study was designed to investigate stress management pattern of substance abusers. The results may be used for effective cognitive-behavioral interventions for these patients. Method: One hundred substance abusers who sought treatment at addiction rehabilitation department were recruited in this study. A selective control group matched for demographic variables with the first group were also requested to take part in the study. Revised Carver Coping Strategy Scale and semistructured interview were carried out for assessment. Results: the results showed that patients in studied group represented a significantly different patterns of stress management in contrast to the control group. Coping strategies of the patients were almost ineffective in dealing with stress (i.e., negative thoughts, wishful thinking, magical thinking, and emotionally focused e.g., denial, disengagement, etc.). Conclusion: substance abusers may have unhealthy coping mechanisms in dealing with stress. It seems that lack of effective strategies in dealing with stress strengthens the addictive behavior. The addiction in turn brings psycho-social problems for these patients.

Abstract: 

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of job satisfaction and mental health on job stress and the balancing effects of hardiness and availability of social support network in a group of medical staff. Method: Two hundred of surgery room staff were studied by utilizing a low-high social support network index, Operating Room Stress Factor Index Questionnaire, Life Event Index, Job Description Index (JDI), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ),Personal View Survey (PVS) and Quality Relationship Inventory (QRI). Results: The findings revealed significant negative correlation between job stress and job satisfaction and GHQ"s scores. A positive and significant correlation was found between job satisfaction and GHQ"s scores. The results also suggested that higher level of job satisfaction and mental health may reduce job stress in the staff who have higher levels of hardiness. Furthermore, the stalf with higher social support network seemed to have higher job satisfaction, but they did not show better mental health compared with those with lower social support network. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that social support network together with personal hardiness had a significant impact on perceived job stress, while the male staff showed higher level of hardiness when compared with the female staff.

Abstract: 

Objectives: This study attempted to search out effects of family functioning on mental health of family members. Method: The study was carried out with 45 Afghan and Iranian immigrant families (father, mother and an adolescent between 15-20 years old) who had been living in England. Data obtained from Standardized Clinical Family Interview (SCFI), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-III (FACE III) and Family Environment Scale (FES). Findings: No significant difference was found on sum of family functioning rating between "Healthy" and "Distressed" families. "Depressed" families showed less cohesion, adaptability and communication. In "Depressed" families, one of the parents exercised more authority over her/his family and parent - child coalitions were more common. Parents in "Depressed" families, were less consistent in child rearing. They were less satisfied with marital and parent/adolescent relationships than "Healthy" and "Distressed" families.
