Introduction: Occupational burnout is one of the complications of work and a psychological syndrome including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feeling of inadequacy. Furthermore, personality traits such as openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism can affect the degree of occupational burnout. This study is to investigate the relationship between these two factors. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 87 nurses from Kashan Beheshti Hospital. We used Neo and Maslach questionnaires to investigate the personality traits and occupational burnout. Sampling was performed by a simple random sampling method, and the data were collected by Neo and Maslach questionnaires. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi‑, square, Fisher exact test, independent t‑, test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: In general, there is a significant relationship between different aspects of occupational burnout with personality traits. There was no significant relationship between occupational burnout and age (P < 0. 262), while there was a relationship between occupational desirability and age. There was no significant relationship between the frequency and severity of occupational burnout in the various aspects of age, sex, and marital status of nurses. There is also no relationship between personality traits and these three factors. Conclusion: The study showed that the personality traits of nurses are effective in their occupational burnout. Furthermore, compare to depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and feeling of inadequacy in nurses is more related to personality traits and the modification of work environment and reduction of work stress are recommended for these employees.

Chronic pain is a multifaceted condition influenced by biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, with personality traits playing a key role in shaping individual experiences. This study investigates the differences in temperament and character traits among individuals with varying degrees of chronic pain severity. Conducted as a descriptive and causal-comparative study, the research focused on patients with chronic pain attending pain clinics and physiotherapy centers in Tehran between 2022 and 2023. A purposive sample of 130 individuals experiencing low and 130 individuals experiencing high pain levels participated in the study. The participants completed questionnaires assessing chronic pain severity using the Graded Chronic Pain Scale and personality traits using the Temperament and Character Inventory. Data analysis was conducted using multivariate analysis of variance with SPSS 24. The results revealed significant temperament and character components between the two groups (p < 0.01). Patients experiencing higher levels of chronic pain exhibited elevated levels of harm avoidance (F=761.740) and novelty seeking (F=399.756), alongside decreased levels of reward dependence (F=564.723), persistence (F=243.040), self-directedness (F=291.953), cooperativeness (F=452.232), and self-transcendence (F=285.586). The results of this study revealed that individuals with higher levels of chronic pain exhibit elevated harm avoidance and novelty seeking, along with lower reward dependence, persistence, self-directedness, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence. These differences highlight the significant influence of personality traits on chronic pain experiences. The findings can inform the development of personalized pain management strategies to improve the quality of life for these patients.

Objectives The current study aims to provide a structural modeling of self-harm behaviors in adolescents based on their temperament and character traits, emotion regulation strategies, and perceived parenting. Methods This is a descriptive/correlational study. The study population consists of all high school students (1-3th grade) during 2017-2018 in Tehran, Iran. Of these, 159 with a mean age of 15±, 0. 75 years were selected by using a cluster sampling technique. they were assessed by Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and Deliberate Self-Harming Inventory (DSHI). For data analysis, Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling were conducted in LISREL V. 8. 8 and SPSS V. 20 applications. Results Novelty seeking dimension of TCI and maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies had a direct and positive relationship with self-harming behavior. Although harm avoidance dimension of TCI and authoritarian parenting had no direct effect on self-harming behaviors, they became effective after mediation by maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. Maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and novelty seeking together were able to predict 22% of the variance in self-harming behavior Conclusion Novelty seeking personality trait and authoritarian parenting can affect and predict selfharming behaviors of the adolescents.
