The aim of the current research was to examine how stress coping strategies predict quality of life and life satisfaction among staff at Sistan and Baluchestan University. A total of 94 employees from the University of Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran were chosen using a simple sampling method. To gather data, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) by Endler & Parker (1990a), Huebner's Life Satisfaction Scale (1994), and the WHOQOL BREF Quality of Life Questionnaire were utilized. The data was analyzed using Pearson and multiple stepwise regression. The findings indicated a significant negative correlation between the avoidant approach to stress management and quality of life (r=.243, p<.01), whereas the problem-focused and emotion-focused strategies did not show a significant link with quality of life and satisfaction with life. The avoidant coping style accounted for 5.9% of the variance in quality of life. The other coping styles were excluded from the regression and did not make it into the regression equation. Avoidant style (Beta=.525, p=.0001) exhibited a negative and significant relationship with quality of life. It is determined that avoidant-oriented coping was a negative unique predictor of the employees' quality of life.

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the structural model describing the connection between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life satisfaction based on the mediator role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis. Method: This present study was a descriptive correlational research based on structural equations. The statistical population of the study included all women with endometriosis, referring to Arash Hospital as a referral Women's Center and Gynecological office in Tehran, Iran, in 2023-2024. According to Morgan's formula, a sample of 357 participants was chosen through convenience sampling. The tools employed in this study for data collection were the Women’s Sexual Function Index (Isidori et al., 2010), Short Form Symptom Checklist-25-Revised (Derogatis et al., 1973), Social Health Questionnaire (Keyes, 2004), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diner, 1985). Data analysis was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and path analysis, and AMOS22 software was utilized to assess the proposed model, and the mediating relationships within it were also calculated using the bootstrap method. Results: The findings from structural equation modeling supported the model's goodness of fit and indicated that psychological factors negatively affect life satisfaction through the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in women with endometriosis (β= -0.114, p<0.001). In addition, the relationship between biological and social factors and life satisfaction through the mediating variable was not found to be significant. Nevertheless, the overall effect of psychological, social, and biological factors (including the sum of direct and indirect pathways) in connection with life satisfaction was significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, the model has a good fit, and cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role in the relationship between sexual function and psychosocial factors with life satisfaction. This study offers a valuable framework for recognizing key factors influencing life satisfaction in women with endometriosis, which should be taken into account in psychological treatment programs.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between burnout and self-concept among educational supervisors. The sample of the present study consisted of 92 educational supervisors in Zahedan city who were selected using simple random sampling and participated in the study. Burnout and self-concept scales were used to collect data. Pearson correlation coefficient test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that emotional exhaustion had a negative and significant relationship with health and gender appropriateness, self-confidence, self-acceptance, beliefs and guilt, but emotional exhaustion had a positive and significant relationship with feelings of shame and guilt. However, emotional exhaustion had no significant relationship with abilities, self-worth, present, future and past, beliefs and guilt, sociability and emotionality. The results showed that depersonalization had a negative and significant relationship with physical health and gender appropriateness, self-acceptance, beliefs and guilt, but a positive and significant relationship was observed between depersonalization and feelings of shame and guilt. Depersonalization was not related to abilities, self-confidence, self-worth, present, future and past, self-esteem, and emotionality. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between personal functioning and self-esteem. However, personal functioning had no significant relationship with the other subscales of self-concept.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of emotional information processing in the relationship between attachment styles and positive feelings towards the spouse in infertile couples. Method: The method of the present research was a correlational description based on the practical purpose . The statistical population included infertile couples in Tehran, among whom 200 were selected by convenience sampling. The data were collected by the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) Scale (Brennan et al., 1998), Positive Feelings toward Spouse Questionnaire (The State University of New York., 1975), and Emotional Processing Scale (Baker et al., 2010) and analyzed by Pearson correlation and structural equation modeling using SPSS25 and AMOS24. The results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that avoidant and anxious attachments had a significant indirect effect, with effect sizes of -0.10 and -0.20, respectively, on positive feelings toward the spouse mediated by emotional information processing (p<0.01). Conclusion: The obtained results showed that avoidant attachment has a positive and significant relationship with the components of avoidance and emotional control, and anxious attachment has a positive and significant relationship with the components of suppression, unpleasant emotional experience and unprocessed emotional symptoms.The result highlighted the importance of designing and evaluating interventions based on attachment and improving emotional processing to foster and repair the relationships of infertile couples.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and complex disease that requires constant medical and psychological care. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance, commitment, and mindfulness therapy in improving blood sugar control and weight control in people with type 2 diabetes. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a two-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all men with type 2 diabetes and overweight in Tehran in 2021. The research samples were 60 patients who were selected through the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned into three equal groups including experimental group A (under acceptance and commitment therapy), experimental group B (under mindfulness therapy), and control group (without intervention). The data collection tool in this study was the HBA1C test to control blood sugar and BMI to control weight. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The results showed a significant difference between the mean scores of blood sugar control and weight control in the acceptance and commitment therapy group and the control group (p < 0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the blood sugar control and weight control scores of the mindfulness therapy group and the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that both interventions, especially acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce the psychological and physical problems of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide a structural equation modeling for the effect of personality traits on bulimia nervosa with the mediating role of emotional intelligence in nurses. Methods: This research was a descriptive-correlational study that employed structural equation modeling with partial least squares. The research population consisted of all nurses of medical sciences hospitals in Tabriz in 2022. The research sample was 335 people who were selected using stratified sampling. The research tools employed for this purpose were the shorter form of NEO-FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory; 1985), the Binge Eating Scale (BES; Gormally et al., 1982), and Schering's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (1996). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS 3 plus SPSS 26 were used for data analysis.  Results: The results showed that in the proposed model, the five main personality traits, except the extroversion variable, have a significant direct and indirect effect on bulimia nervosa,  and another implication of this research is the significant direct effect of emotional intelligence on bulimia nervosa. Another finding was the significant direct effect of the main personality traits on emotional intelligence. Conclusion: The results suggest that interventions for bulimia nervosa should embed education on personality traits and emotional intelligence because, according to the findings, the lower the personality traits, such as neuroticism and higher emotional intelligence, the lower the probability of bulimia nervosa.
