A B S T R A C T Objective: Depressive mood along with boredom and unhappiness is one of the main consequences of addiction treatment and investigating the reduction strategies is of absolute and sheer necessity. The present research aims to investigate the effectiveness of problem solving training program in happiness and coping style of individuals suffering from drug abuse. Methods: Therefore, in a semi-experimental study, the addicted individuals having low rate of happiness (N=36) were selected through random cluster multi-stratified sampling and assigned into the experimental and control groups. Both groups were measured by Oxford Happiness Inventory and Coping Styles Questionnaire and the experimental group underwent problem solving skills training. Results: the results of covariance analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, variance analysis with repeated measure and t-test indicated that, happiness level (Eta square=.24) and coping style (Eta square=.31) of the experimental group has increased and there is between-group difference in three stages of intervention at 99% of significant level. It can also be concluded that, there is significant relationship between rational coping style (.57), detached coping style (.47) and the increase of happiness in subjects. Moreover, there is significant and negative relationship between emotional coping style (-.41), avoidance coping style (-.35) and the decrease of happiness among the subjects. Increased rate of happiness and rational coping skills were observed in the experimental group. The more the individual uses rational and detached styles, the more his/her happiness is and the more s/he uses emotional and avoidance coping styles, the less her/his happiness is.

Objective: Spiritual therapy is recognized as an effective treatment for most psychological problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on resilience and coping styles of families of addicts who are quitting drugs. Method: The reasech method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and a control group design. The statistical population included all families of addicts who were quitting in a camp in Shahrekord city for a period of 3 months in 2020. The statistical sample consisted of 30 families of these addicts who were selected through the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study were the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Moss and Billings Coping Styles Questionnaire. Spiritual group therapy was held in 11 sessions of 90 minutes for a month and a half for the experimental group. The collected data were analyzed by covariance analysis using SPSS-21 software. Results: The results showed that group spiritual therapy increased resilience (p≤0.001) and using problem-focused coping style (p≤0.001), and decreased using emotion-focused coping style (p≤0.001) in the family of addicts quitting drugs in the experimental group. Conclusion: The results indicated that spiritual group therapy can explain the high rate of change related to resilience and coping styles of families of addicts seeking treatment.

Depression is the most common psychiatric disorder. Its prevalence in women is twice that of men, which seriously affects the mental health of this group. Therefore, it is very important to adopt treatment methods to reduce it. For this reason, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on coping styles and quality of life of depressed women. This research was a semi-experimental method of pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was made up of all women who referred to counseling centers in Mashhad city in 2017, who scored higher than 13 in the Beck depression test. 30 of them were selected as a sample by purposive sampling method and then randomly divided into two control and experimental groups (15 people in the experimental group - 15 people in the control group). Beck depression inventory (BDI-II), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) and World Health Organization quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance. The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in the post-test stage in emotional and avoidant coping styles (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the problem-oriented coping style (P<0.05). Also, the results in the quality of life section show a significant difference between the two groups in the variables of social, psychological, physical and environmental quality of life (P<0.05). As a result, it can be said that cognitive behavioral therapy can be used as an efficient treatment method to reduce emotional and avoidant coping styles in depressed patients in the clinical environment. Also, the use of this treatment method increases the level of quality of life in these patients.

Objective:  The present study aims to determine the forecast of mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and coping styles regarding teacher marriage burnout. Methods: The population of the study includes 550 married elementary school teachers in the city of Esfarayen (2021). Sampling was done based on the intended society (550 teachers). To do so, 225 teachers were selected using Morgan Table. Data-collection instruments include Paine’s Marital Burnout Questionnaire (1996), Nis and Vander Walj’s Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire, Endler and Parker’s Coping Style Questionnaire, and Bayer et al.’s Five-scale Mindfulness Scale (2006). Finally, the collected data were analyzed by Spss24 software. Results: Findings of the study indicated that the total mindfulness score and the subscales (i.e. action with awareness, lack of judgment, and lack of response) had a significant correlation with marriage burnout. Also, there was a significant negative correlation between the total score of psychological flexibility and the subscales– understanding controllability, understanding various options, and understanding behavior justification– and marriage burnout. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between problem-focused coping style and marriage burnout. Also, avoidance coping style had a significant positive correlation with marriage burnout. Conversely, no significant correlation was found between emotional coping style and marriage burnout. Furthermore, according to the regression model, 26.3% of marriage burnout changes could be determined by lack of judgment (mindfulness), lack of response (mindfulness), problem-focused coping style, and avoidance coping style. Conclusion: Overall, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and coping styles were significant predictors of teacher marriage burnout. Therefore, teacher marriage burnout could be alleviated by creating some potential.
