Aims Life satisfaction is an attitude that a person has of his life and it is closely related to the well-being and comfort of a person. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Iranian-Islamic spiritual stress management therapy on the life satisfaction of women with Fibromyalgia. Materials & Methods The research was carried out in a semi-experimental design, with twogroup randomized controlled trial among 30 women with fibromyalgia in Isfahan referring to pain clinics; they were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups (15 individuals in each group). In addition to drug therapy, participants in the experimental group received an Iranian-Islamic spiritual stress management therapy in 12 sessions once a week, but participants in control group received only drug treatment. All participants completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) in 3 stages including pretest, posttest, and at the follow-up stage (45 days after posttest). The data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variances, using SPSS 23 software. Findings Iranian-Islamic spiritual stress-management therapy after intervention and followup had a significant effect on increasing the life satisfaction. So, satisfaction with the life of women in the experimental group was significantly improved compared to the control group (p<0. 0001).

Aims Infertility experience that is sometimes considered as infertility crisis, is accompanied by physical, economic, psychological, and social stress that affects all aspects of a person’ s life. Infertility is associated with a sense of bereavement of life, personality and sexual anesthesia, lack of personal control, health, and self-confidence, especially in women. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological security in predicting the psychological well-being of infertile women with religious mediation. Instruments & Methods In the present descriptive-correlational research, which was conducted in 2016, 89 infertile women referred to Novin infertility center in Mashhad were selected, using available sampling. The research instruments were Shahid’ s Spiritual Attitude, psychological security questionnaire, and Reef’ s psychological well-being scale. Statistical analysis was performed, using correlation coefficient and regression analysis by SPSS 16 software. Findings Psychological security and religion and all of their components had a positive and significant correlation with the psychological well-being (p<0. 05). Analysis of mediator regression for psychological security and religion was performed by introducing psychological security in the first step and religion in the second step. In the first step, psychological security was able to predict 81% of psychological well-being. When religion entered the model as a mediator, the prediction rate reduced to 75%. Although it was a significant change, psychological security was consistently predictive of psychological wellbeing (p=0. 001). Conclusion Psychological security and religion affect the psychological well-being of infertile women. Religion mediates between psychological security and psychological well-being, meaning that religious infertile women have higher psychological well-being.

Aims Religious orientation and spiritual health are important factors in students’ mental health. The aim of this study was to explain high-risk behaviors among student by religious orientation and spiritual health. Instruments & Methods In this descriptive-correlational study, among students of Azerbaijan Shahid Madani University, in 2018-2019, 361 students were selected, using multistage cluster sampling method and the Cochran formula. The data were collected by Allport’ s Religious Orientation Scale, Spiritual Health Questionnaire, and Iranian Youth Risk-Taking Scale. Data analysis was performed, using the Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis (stepwise) by SPSS 16. Findings There was a negative and significant relationship between intrinsic religious orientation and spiritual health with high-risk behaviors (p<0. 01). Also, from the components of religious orientation, intrinsic religious orientation could predict components of highrisk behaviors. From the components of spiritual health, existential health could predict components of high-risk behaviors. Conclusion Intrinsic religious orientation and spiritual health can predict the high-risk behaviors of students.

Aims Patience is a mental characteristic and an internal consistency, the result of which includes management of emotions, capability to endure hardships, and diligence in works. This research aimed at determining the role of patience with mediating self-differentiation in emotional regulation and perceived stress among nurses. Instruments & Methods This research is a descriptive-correlational study with a path analysis model that was conducted among 200 nurses in 2015, who worked at hospitals of Tehran and were selected through available sampling method. The instruments used for evaluating research variables included Skowron’ s differentiation of self-inventory (DSI), Gross and John’ s Emotion Regulation Scale (ER), Cohen’ s Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Hossein Sabet’ s Patience Scale. The data were analyzed by SPSS AMOS 21 software, using Pearson correlation coefficient test and Structural Equation Modeling. Findings The pattern was in a good position to explain and fit. Patience had a direct, significant, and negative relationship with perceived stress (p=0. 001), but it did not have an indirect relationship with perceived stress by mediating self-differentiation (p=0. 69). Also, patience directly had a significant positive relationship with emotional regulation (p=0. 04), but it did not have an indirect relationship with emotional regulation by mediating selfdifferentiation. Conclusion Patience directly and without mediating self-differentiation is effective on emotional regulation and perceived stress of nurses.
