The present research was conducted with the aim of developing an educational model for women to cope with maternal stress based on the coping methods of satisfied women and its effectiveness in their cognitive emotion regulation. The research design was mixed methods. The participants in the qualitative phase of the study included the women (living in Tehran in 2021), who were satisfied with their lives and had at least one 6-year old child. In the first phase, after the initial screening, from among 51 women, 11 women whose level of satisfaction with life was above the mean were selected through purposive sampling method. Using in-depth interviews, an educational model for women to cope with their maternal stress was prepared in 10 sessions. In the second phase, the validity of the educational model was confirmed using Content Validity Ratio (CVR) index of Lawshe (1975). In the third phase, the population and the statistical sample were selected, and using the multi-baseline design, the educational model was implemented. Through available sampling method, the mothers who met the inclusion criteria were provided with Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire; they were asked to fill out the questionnaire. Finally, from among the 14 mothers who were examined, three mothers who both had the inclusion criteria and were volunteers participated in the study and were trained in 10 sessions. Findings: The results showed that the educational model of women's coping with maternal stress based on the coping methods of satisfied women was effective in their cognitive emotion regulation.

Due to the great importance of health in the nursing profession, it can be potentially stressful for them. The aim of this study was to compare emotional intelligence, general health and physical health in nurses working in psychiatric wards and other wards of hospitals. The present study was descriptive and causal-comparative. The statistical population of the present study was all nurses in Ardabil in the first half of the year 1400 that 50 nurses working in psychiatric wards and 50 nurses were selected by simple random sampling. Bar-Ann's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (1980), Goldberg & Hiller's General Health Questionnaire (1972) and Scott and Clovi's Physical Health Questionnaire (2003) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups of nurses in the psychiatric ward and other wards in the variables of emotional intelligence (F = 9.85and P<0.01), general health (F = 24.22 and P<0.01) and physical health (F = 14.77 and P <0.01). Therefore, according to the results of the present study, it is suggested that education of emotional intelligence, general health and physical health components be included in the in-service training program of nursing students both as in-service training courses for employed nurses and as a course unit. Efficiency and effectiveness of the level of nursing services and empowerment of nursing students, increase the satisfaction of patients and their families from nursing services and also improve the level of community health.

Davies technology acceptance model is one of the simplest and most powerful acceptance review models. The present research has been carried out with the aim of investigating the acceptance model of information and communication technology (ICT) in virtual education from the point of view of teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province. The research method is quantitative in terms of general approach and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection. The statistical population is 760 teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province, of which 260 were selected by simple random. A researcher-made questionnaire was designed to collect data. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.75 shows the reliability of the questionnaire in collecting the required data. In order to determine the structural validity and fit of the designed model, confirmatory factor analysis method and structural equation model were also used. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between individual factors, social factors, organizational factors, innovation characteristics, understanding of usefulness, understanding of ease of use, attitude, willingness to use technology and use of technology. Also, the results of the research showed that the variables used in the research were a suitable model for examining the pattern of acceptance of information and communication technologies based on the Davis model of technology acceptance among teachers of exceptional schools in Guilan province. According to the fit indicators obtained in the research, it is recommended to hold in-service classes with higher quality and more organizational support from information and communication technology.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of philosophic mindedness training on the effectiveness of students’ virtual training components. The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this study includes all student’s master’s degree of curriculum in Payame Noor University, south Tehran branch in 1399-1400 academic year. The sample consisted of 32 students who were selected by goal-based random sampling method and randomly assigned into two experimental (n=16) and control (n=16) groups. After conducting pre-test on both groups, the experimental group received Smith's philosophical mentality dimensions (Comprehensiveness, Penetration, Flexibility) (1956) in six sessions of sixty minutes and within six consecutive weeks by e-learning method, but the control group received no intervention. The research tool was a 34-item researcher-made questionnaire. The content validity confirmed by judgment of experts and professors, and its reliability was calculated and at an acceptable level. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance (Ancova). The results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of experimental and control in the effect of philosophic mindedness training on the effectiveness of virtual training. Therefore, it can be concluded that by training and enhancing the dimensions of philosophic mindedness of students of the target community, it can be increased the effectiveness of virtual training courses.

This study investigates into teachers’ perceptions in order to find out whether they are thinking beyond the concept of method. Specifically speaking, the underlying goal is to diagnose whether teachers are context sensitive and are aware of the uniqueness of each specific teaching-learning context, that is, whether they are able to differentiate between the different requirements of one teaching context from another. Instead of exploring teachers’ views on the term’s method, postmethod, which is a dominant pattern in the literature of postmethod studies, teachers’ perceptions of postmethod teaching strategies (Stern, 1992) were explored across two proficiency levels of elementary and intermediate as a kind of contextual variable. To this end, a questionnaire tapped into three teachers’ perceived effectiveness of each of the two distinctive strategies of each dimension across two levels of intermediate and elementary. The statistical analysis didn’t reveal any significant difference in teachers’ perceptions across the two proficiency levels. This indicated that teachers didn’t consider the requirements of context but rather they adhered to just one method at both levels. Therefore, these teachers were not thinking beyond the framework of the method concept and were not oriented toward postmethod pedagogy in their thoughts.
