Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the role of play therapy based on cognitive-behavioral approach in increasing self-esteem and improving academic performance of students with special learning disabilities (inadequacy and dyslexia). Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the present study consists of 415 primary school male students of Shahid Danesh School in Tehran, who were studying in the academic year of 1996-97. The sample group consisted of 44 students with dyslexia and dyslexia by simple random sampling and were replaced in the experimental and control groups. The research design was experimental (pre-test and post-test with control group). After performing the pre-test of Colorado Learning Disabilities Questionnaire (CLDQ) and Cooper-Smith Self-Esteem Questionnaire for both groups, the experimental group for 2 weeks, in 8 sessions of 45 minutes under play therapy training with cognitive behavior approach developed by Schaffer were included and after this period, posttest was performed for both groups. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The results showed that play therapy significantly increased the level of self-esteem at the level of P <0. 05 and improved the performance of mathematics and reading of students with disability at the level of P <0. 05 and dyslexia at the level of P <0. 01. Conclusions: The results showed that play therapy based on cognitivebehavioral approach as an effective method has a positive effect on increasing students' self-esteem and academic achievement and leads to a reduction in math and reading problems in students with disorders. It becomes special learning.

Background and Objectives: People with hearing impairments are exposed to many health problems. These deficiencies can disrupt the mental health and other aspects of daily living. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience with mental health in people with hearing loss. Materials and Methods: The statistical population consisted of all persons with hearing impairment referred to the audiology center of Faculty of Rehabilitation of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 98-97 and the sample included 154 persons who were selected by available method. Questionnaires were included Goldberg and Hiller's General Health (1979), Bar-An's Emotional Intelligence (1980) and Conner and Davidson's Resiliency questionnaires (2003). Data were analyzed using correlation and stepwise regression. Results: The results of this study showed that all dimensions of emotional intelligence and resiliency had significant positive relationship with mental health. The results of regression analysis also showed that the variables of independence, self-concept, problem solving, optimism, and impulse control were able to predict mental health and explain 21% of its variance. Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the necessity of considering the underlying variables of emotional intelligence and resilience in mental health of people with hearing impairment and draw the attention of mental health professionals to this issue.

Background and Objectives: One of the most common injuries during sports and athletes' activities is muscle cramps, which are accompanied by muscle discomfort, pain, and stiffness. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four handball female from dehdasht, kohkiluyeh and boyer-ahmad, randomly divided into two groups: test (n=12) and control group (n=12). Test group performed of plyometric training of 8 weeks, including three sessions per week with a range of workouts, 8 to 12 movements and 10 seconds per session. Blood samples were taken before and after 1 meeting and end meeting, in order to measure CPK and LDH level. CPK and LDH measured by pars azmoon kit. Data were analyzed using Student’ s Repeated measure with Bonferroni correction. Significance level was considered to be P<0. 05. Results: 8 weeks plyometric training increase serum CPK concentration of handball women significantly (P<0/005), also serum LDH concentration significantly increased in group training (P<0/000). Conclusions: The present study indicated that 8 weeks plyometric training have effect on CPK and LDH of handball women. But these change lessend in comparison with the modulate after the first meeting. Probably the plyometric training protocol can be a suitable approach for minimizing the production of muscular injury indicators.

Background and Objectives: Clinical competence is required to provide effective and accurate patient care. For this purpose, it is important to find the components that influence clinical competence and promote it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between spiritual intelligence and clinical competence in operating room and anesthesia students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 107 4th and 6th semester students in Hamadan Paramedical Faculty in 2019. Sampling was done by census method. Students' evaluation was done by Kazdin et al. (1986) spiritual intelligence questionnaires and Liu et al. (2009) clinical competency assessment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correlation tests and t-test. Results: The results showed that 50. 46% of the students had spiritual intelligence score above average (good range) and 49. 54% of students had lower than average score ( good range ). Also 55. 14% of students had clinical competency score above average (good range) and 44. 86% had lower than average grade (good range). Pearson correlation test showed a significant positive correlation between students' spiritual intelligence and their clinical competence (P <0. 047). Conclusions: There was a significant positive correlation between clinical competence and spiritual intelligence. Education authorities can pay attention to the training and promotion of students' spiritual intelligence in order to enhance the clinical competence of the staff. Also, due to the high importance of clinical competency in the operating room area, it is important to conduct this research with a higher statistical population.

Background and Objectives: The most obvious way to change behavior in children is open play therapy. In the past, this method has focused more on the therapist interacting with the child, while some models have approached teaching this method to parents and relying on them as a mediator to repair and improve children's behaviors. One of these methods is the parent-child relationship play therapy model (CPRT). The aim of this study was to teach play therapy skills based on the parent-child relationship to mothers, in order to reduce behavioral problems in children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Materials and Methods: In order to investigate this, preschool children aged 6-7 years were evaluated in two stages. In the first phase, 95 children were surveyed by the Child Behavior Inventory (CBCL), of which 27 had behavioral problems and 15 of their mothers were ready to participate in the project. Of these 15 patients, 7 in the experimental group and 8 in the control group were randomly replaced. All of these parents filled out the CBCL questionnaire in the pre-test and post-test stages. The control group waited for treatment and the experimental group participated in a play therapy training program for 10 2-hour sessions. Pre-test and post-test data were compared using Human Whitney test. Results: The results showed that teaching play therapy skills to mothers reduced behavioral problems in children with ADHD in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions: Thus, it can be said that teaching mothers play-based play therapy based on the parent-child relationship (according to Landarth model) to mothers, in addition to ADHD children's behavioral problems in general, two more specific areas of these problems, namely Reduce internal and external problems to a significant level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between mental health and emotional intelligence in students' academic success. Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytical and correlation study that was performed on 94 operating room students of Hamadan Paramedical Faculty in 2019. Sampling was done by census method. Data gathering tools were Emotional Inventory Imani et al. 2018, Goldberg Mental Health Questionnaire and Standard Academic success Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS 23 software. Results: Data analysis showed that there was a direct, positive and positive linear relationship between emotional intelligence and mental health in the operating room students in semesters four (r = 0. 858) and six (r = 0. 932) and eight (r = 0. 846). There is a meaning. Also, there was a direct, positive and significant linear relationship between emotional intelligence and academic success (mean grade) of operating room students in semesters four (r = 0. 867) and six (r = 0. 818) and eight (r = 0. 766). In addition, there was a direct, positive and significant linear relationship between mental health and academic success (mean grade) of operating room students in semesters four (r = 0. 837) and six (r = 0. 814) and eight (r = 0. 798). Conclusions: The findings of this study showed that the higher the emotional intelligence and mental health of students in the required educational levels, the better the academic success of students.

Background and Objectives: Obesity in children as a chronic problem with an increasing prevalence is one of the health problems in the last century. If the path from childhood to adolescent be accompanied by a gradual decline in physical activity and increased consumption of highcalorie foods, it will lead to obesity and a variety of chronic diseases. This study can help plan to reduce the prevalence and complications of this common disorder. Materials and Methods: This study was performed in pediatric endocrinology clinic of Hamadan Besat hospital. In this study, children between the ages of 8 and 15 years with the BMI greater than 85% were randomly selected. The children were randomly divided into three groups. The first group underwent follow up without intervention. The second group under the appropriate diet plan and the third group were introduced to exercise expert. Changes in height, weight and BMI of all three groups were evaluated during three months. Results: This study was performed on 97 patients referred to pediatric endocrinology clinic of Hamadan Besat Hospital during 2019-2020. 54. 7% of patients were boys and 44. 3% were girls. The mean age of the patients was 10. 70 ± 2. 15 years. Patients were divided into three groups; control (29%), diet group (32%) and physical activity group (36%). BMI was significantly decreased after three months in the diet and physical activity groups, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: According to the results, with an appropriate diet and physical activity, we can improve overweight and obesity.

Background and Objectives: Social Appearance Anxiety refers to social anxiety, especially general appearance, including body shape and the fear of being evaluated by others. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of self-criticism and shyness in predicting social appearance anxiety of female students in Rasht. Materials and Methods: The research was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population included all female students in Rasht. A total of 120 subjects were selected using this method and then tested with Lewis Self-Critical Questionnaire, Social Appearance Anxiety Questionnaire and Chick-Briggs Shyness Questionnaire. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between social appearance anxiety and internalized self-critical component (r =0. 30> P<0. 01), and with social appearance and self-critical component anxiety (r =0. 19> P<0. 01). There was a significant positive relationship with the whole self-criticism scale (r = 0. 32; P <0. 01). Also, there was no significant relationship between shyness variables with any of social appearance anxiety variables. 15% of the total variance of social appearance anxiety is explained by self-criticism and its components. Also, 3% of the total variance of social appearance anxiety is explained by shyness components. Conclusions: Given that social appearance anxiety variable has not been worked with any other variables in Iran so far, this study has little background. It is suggested in future research that this important construct of psychology be studied with other psychological components.
