Background & Aims: Students are very important and sensitive and founders of the society. Youth is one of the most important stages of human evolution in which early tendencies to drugs develop. Students' tendency to addiction has a lasting impact on their personality and has implications for society. The level of adherence to religion and beliefs is one of the factors influencing adolescent talent. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between religious orientation and students' addiction in Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods: This is an analytical-Grouping study. The statistical population consisted of all eligible students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The sample size consisted of 170 students and a proportional stratified sampling method. The data collection tool was a demographic questionnaire and a religious orientation questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 21 and descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: 34. 1% of the participants were male and 65. 9% were female. 93. 5% were Shies and 6. 5% were Sunni. The mean and standard deviation of the internal religious orientation was 24. 58 ± 4. 83 and the mean external religious orientation was 28. 95 ± 5. 61. The mean and standard deviation of student addiction tendency was 43. 66 ± 22. 04. There is a positive and significant correlation between external religious orientation and addiction tendency (p <0. 01), which means that increasing the score of external religious orientation significantly increases the addiction scores. But, by increasing the score of internal religious orientation, the score of addiction tendency decreased significantly (p <0. 01). The correlation between addiction tendency and total score of religious orientation was negative. In other words, by increasing the religious orientation score, the score of addiction tendency has decreased, but this decrease is not significant (p >0. 05). Conclusion: This study showed that there is a relationship between religious orientation and students’ addiction tendency. Therefore, promotion of religious beliefs improves students' health status and plays a preventive role in the prevention of disorders in the lives of individuals and especially students.

Background & Aims: One of the most important goals of psychology is to identify the variables and methods that affect well-being and mental health and lead to a better life and human adaptation to life and life threats. Emotional intelligence, attachment styles, and resilience are some of the characteristics and abilities that are important in positive psychology and the type of delivery (cesarean section and vaginal delivery) can affect these variables. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare emotional intelligence, attachment styles, and resilience among adolescents born with two methods of cesarean section and vaginal delivery. Materials & Methods: The research is a descriptive-analytical research and scientifically-comparative. The statistical population consisted of all girls’ high school students in Mamasani city in 2017-2018. 60 students were selected by cluster sampling (30 students for vaginal delivery and 30 students for cesarean section). Data were collected by Resilience Questionnaire of Conner and Davidson (2003), Emotional Intelligence of Bar Ann (1997), and Attachment Style of Collins and Rid (1990). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 21 software, and descriptive statistics and one way variance analysis (ANOVA) were utilized. Results: The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the emotional intelligence in the two groups of vaginal delivery and cesarean section (p <0. 02). The mean (standard deviation) of emotional intelligence in vaginal delivery was 321 (21) and it was 307/89(21. 69) in cesarean section group. Findings showed that emotional intelligence in vaginal delivery group is more than cesarean section group. Also there is no difference between the safety in vaginal delivery (13. 43 (4. 27)) and cesarean section (12. 46 (3. 2)), avoidance attachment in vaginal delivery (12. 2 (3. 12)) and cesarean section (13. 24 (2. 83)), anxiety attachment in vaginal delivery (15. 79 (4. 02)) and cesarean section (14. 17(5. 07)), and resilience in vaginal delivery (75. 03 (14. 66)) and cesarean section (69. 71 (20. 39)). Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the physiological experience of the methods of delivery can affect psychological characteristics such as emotional intelligence.
