It is applied research and it is exploratory study. First, the barriers of the program extracted from its official reports. Then, the analytical tree was designed, and by considering it, the AHP questionnaire, include of 13 paired comparisons was designed and completed by 25 experts (employees of mentioned departments) which were selected by purposive sampling. After gathering preliminary data, the final weights were obtained through Expert Choice software 11. Based on the results, at the level of the criteria, the “legal barriers” with a relative weight of 0/470 won the first rank and the “financial barriers” with a relative weight of 0/280 won the second rank. At the level of alternatives, in general, the “lack of funding support” with a final weight of 0/163 won the first rank and the “criminal records” with a final weight of 0/140 won second place.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a spirituality therapy training program on quality of life and spiritual intelligence among students with visual impairments. The methodology was of an experimental type with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population included visually impaired students, studying at Shoorideh Shirazi School for the Blind in the academic year 2019-2020, among them 32 visually impaired students were purposefully selected, randomly divided into two experimental (16 subjects) and control (16 subjects) groups. The instruments used in the study were the Quality of Life Questionnaire (1992) and the King Spiritual Intelligence Scale (2008), both filled out by the students in both groups as a pretest before the program. The spirituality therapy training program, consisting of 12 sessions, was presented to the experimental group for two months in the form of two 65-minute sessions per week. It is worth mentioning that the control group did not receive any training from the researcher and that they only received the same daily school educational program that was offered to the experimental group as well. Upon completion of the training program, the Quality of Life Questionnaire and the King Spiritual Intelligence Scale were completed by the students as a posttest. SPSS software was used to analyze data. And mean and standard deviation were used in the descriptive statistics section. In addition, a univariate analysis of covariance was used in the inferential statistics section. The results obtained from this study showed that spirituality therapy training improved quality of life and spiritual intelligence among students with visual impairments. Therefore, it can be concluded that the spirituality therapy training program can help enhance quality of life and spiritual intelligence among students with visual impairments.

The present study aimed to investigate the causal pattern of the relationship between personality variables and coronavirus-related health attitudes mediated by the internal locus of control, and the moderating role of self-esteem in students. The sample participants consisted of 150 students of varying educational levels who completed the Health Behavior, Health Attitude, Internal Locus of Control, risk-taking, self-esteem, and conscientiousness and neuroticism questionnaires, online and through messaging applications (Telegram and WhatsApp). To analyze data, structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to measure fitness of the model and examine direct relationships. Measurement of the mediator relationship was assessed via, Bootstrap, and the moderator relations were examined with hierarchical regression. The results showed that the model's fitness well with the data and all direct relationships, except the relationship between risk-taking, and health attitudes were confirmed. The findings also confirmed the mediating role of the internal locus of control in the relationship between personality traits and health attitudes. The results further indicated the moderating role of self-esteem in the relationship between the internal locus of control and students' health attitudes. In other words, the relationship between the internal locus of control and health attitudes in students with higher self-esteem is stronger than the relationship in which students reported lower self-esteem. The results also confirmed the moderating role of self-esteem in the relationship between neuroticism and students' health attitudes. In other words, the relationship between neuroticism and health attitudes in students with lower self-esteem is stronger than the relationship in which students reported higher self-esteem
