Aim:There is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic is one of the most destructive mental health crises of our time. This study investigated the role of emotional security, cognitive fusion, and repetitive negative thinking in predicting stress caused by Covid-19. Methods:The descriptive research method used in this study was correlation, and the target population was the first-semester undergraduate students at Payame Noor University in Kermanshah during the academic year 2021-2022. In this regard, 174 students were selected as a statistical sample using the available sampling method and evaluated by Annie E Casey Belonging and Emotional Security Tool of family services, Gillanders et al Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), Ehring et al Repetitive negative thinking questionnaire and Corona Stress Scale (CSS-18) Questionnaire by Salimi's et al were analyzed online. The data were analyzed by SPSS22 software using Pearson's correlation test and multiple regression. Results: Based on the results, Covid-19 stress has a negative correlation with emotional security and a positive correlation with cognitive fusion and repetitive negative thinking. As a result of multiple regression analysis, cognitive fusion and repetitive negative thinking are significantly related to stress from Covid-19, and cognitive fusion with a Beta of 0.22 is more powerful in predicting stress from Covid-19. Conclusion:According to the findings of this study, cognitive fusion and repetitive negative thinking play a significant role in causing stress from Covid-19. Psychological interventions can be designed based on these results in order to reduce the stress associated with Covid-19.

Objective: This study seeks to validate and standardize the extended version of the knowledge of parenting strategies scale (KOPSS) among Iranian citizens. Methods:  This paper is a descriptive measure validation study, which falls in the category of quantitative research. The statistical population consisted of Iranian parents with children aged 3-12, living together. Thirty parents were selected through convenience sampling and were tested using the Persian KOPSS in order to estimate the standard deviation of the total KOPSS score and obtain the sample size for validation and standardization (n=725). Then, thirty parents were studied at an interval of three weeks to calculate the test-retest reliability. Furthermore, 330 other parents were selected through convenience sampling to measure internal consistency reliability and concurrent criterion validity. To calculate concurrent criterion validity, the Persian KOPSS scores were correlated with the scores of Robinson’s Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ). To obtain the standardized scores and percentile ranks of the raw Persian KOPSS scores, an online survey was conducted on 725 eligible parents (including 532 mothers and 193 fathers). Results: The correlation of the total Persian KOPSS-20 score with the PSDQ sub-scales was found to be larger than 0.40 (0.417-0.508). The standardized KOPSS-20 was obtained by converting the raw scores into normed z and T-scores and calculating the percentile ranks of the entire group (n=725). Conclusion: KOPSS-20 was found to yield reproducible and reliable results with satisfactory validity coefficients.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment and the Compassion-Based Approach on suicidal ideation and spiritual well-being in women victims of domestic violence. Methods: This study is applied in terms of its purpose and quasi-experimental in nature and method, utilizing a pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up design with a control group. The study population comprised all women victims of domestic violence who sought help from social emergency centers and family counseling clinics in Tehran during the second half of 2023. The sample consisted of 51 participants who were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The first experimental group received an eight-session (90-minute each) Compassion-Based Therapy intervention program, while the second experimental group received a ten-session (60-minute each) Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment program at these centers. The control group did not receive any intervention. Data collection tools included the Violence Against Women Questionnaire by Haj-Yahya (2001), the Beck and Steer Suicidal Ideation Scale (1991), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale by Paloutzian and Ellison (1982). The obtained data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc test with SPSS 27 software. Findings: The study findings indicate that both Compassion-Based Therapy and Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment led to a reduction in suicidal ideation and an increase in spiritual well-being in the experimental groups. Additionally, considering the mean difference, Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment had a greater effect than the Compassion-Based Approach in reducing suicidal ideation and enhancing spiritual well-being (p < .05). Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, Compassion-Based Therapy and Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment are effective approaches for improving spirituality and reducing suicidal ideation in women victims of domestic violence. Psychologists and family specialists are encouraged to utilize these findings to enhance the quality of family life.
