Objectives The present study aims to examine the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on cognitive emotion regulation, psychosomatic symptom severity of migraine, and stress coping styles of women with migraine. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design. The study population consisted of all women suffering from migraine referred to neurologists in Khorramabad city, Iran in 2022. Of these, 32 were selected by a convenience sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of intervention (n=16) and control (n=16). Garnefski’s cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, Najarian’s psychosomatic symptoms of migraine questionnaire, and Billings and Moss’s stress coping styles questionnaire were used to collect data. The MBCT was provided to the intervention group for 8 consecutive weeks, one session per week. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results The results of multivariate ANCOVA showed that MBCT significantly affected at least one of the variables (F=14.406, P<0.01). The results of univariate ANCOVA showed that MBCT had a significant effect on cognitive emotion regulation strategies (F=60.7, P<0.01), the severity of migraine (F=53.46, P<0.01), and stress coping styles (F=18.5, P=0.03) in the post-test phase. Conclusion MBCT is effective in improving cognitive emotion regulation strategies, reducing the psychosomatic symptom severity of migraine, and improving stress coping styles of women with migraine. By this method, women learn how to use cognitive methods and mindfulness techniques to stop the automatic processes that cause a deficiency in positive emotion regulation, intensify migraine, and avoid the use of adaptive stress coping styles.

This study aims to introduce a specialized clinic for adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) launched in Roozbeh Hospital, Tehran, Iran, in 2019. The target group is male and female adults (age>18) with ASD. The main goal of this clinic is the diagnosis, comprehensive evaluation, and evidence-based treatments, including medication therapy and psychotherapy. In addition, the academic department of this clinic pursues research and educational programs. Due to the prevalence of ASD in adults, we expected many clients to visit the clinic, but the number of cases recorded in this clinic so far has been much lower than expected. The reasons were discussed in this study. The launch of this clinic can be the starting point for creating a coherent ASD screening and diagnosis system and providing lifetime services to adults with ASD in Iran. We provide recommendations in this regard at the end of this paper.

Objectives Dialysis for the treatment of chronic kidney failure has negative effects on the quality of life, daily activities, lifestyle, and physical, mental, and social health. The present study aims to assess the effect of group acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on the body image and self-compassion of women undergoing dialysis. Methods This is a quasi-experimental study (randomized clinical trial) with a pre-test/post-test/follow-up design. The study population consisted of all women receiving dialysis who were referred to the Dialysis Patients Support Association in Khorasan Razavi, Iran, in 2021-2022. Of these, 30 were selected by a convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received group ACT at 10 sessions each for 120 minutes, while the control group received no intervention. Both groups completed the Body Image Concern Inventory and the Self-Compassion Scale in the pre-test, post-test, and two-month follow-up phases. The data were analyzed using the repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS software, version 25. Results The intervention group showed a significant improvement in body image (F=39.271, P=0.001) and self-compassion (F=7.342, P=0.001) in the post-test phase compared to the control group, which remained stable in the two-month follow-up. Conclusion The group ACT can be a suitable method to increase body image satisfaction and self-compassion in women undergoing dialysis.

Objectives Despite the increasing importance of emotion regulation, there are limited scales for its assessment. Mentalized affectivity theory proposes a novel perspective on emotion regulation. This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of briefmentalized affectivity scale (B-MAS). Methods This is a descriptive psychometrics study. Participants were 414 students from Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran University, and Shahid Beheshti University in the academic year 2022-2023, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. They completed the Persian versions of B-MAS, ten-item personality inventory (TIPI), satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI), and difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS). Construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Convergent and divergent validity were assessed by the Pearson correlation test. Internal consistency (using Cronbach’s α), test re-test reliability, and composite reliability were also evaluated. Results The CFA results confirmed the three-factor solution (identifying, processing, and expressing) and showed the good fit of the model. The significant correlation of the Persian B-MAS score with the BAI, TIPI, SWLS, and DER scores confirmed its convergent and divergent validity. Cronbach’s α for the three factors was from 0.86 to 0.88. Test re-test reliability for the three factors was from 0.75 to 0.80. Composite reliability was from 0.79 to 0.82. Conclusion The Persian version of B-MAS with three subscales has acceptable validity (construct, convergent, divergent) and reliability for psychological studies on the Iranian population.

Objectives Considering the importance of identifying the mental health problems among school students and their proper management by offering specialized services to them, the present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of school mental health (SMH) program in Iranian schools, identify its shortcomings and provide recommendations for it improvement. Methods This is a qualitative study using conventional content analysis method. A semi-structured in-depth interview was used to collect information from 35 participants who included teachers, principals, and developers of the SHM Program in Iran. Results Based on the results, four themes (strengths, weaknesses, barriers, and recommendations) and 14 subthemes were extracted. Overall, 50 codes were obtained. The results showed the effectiveness of the SMH program. Conclusion The SMH program is effective and has opened a new perspective to school-based interventions. However, expecting the full implementation and continuation of this program in the short term and with limited resources does not seem logical. Therefore, it is first recommended to improve the infrastructure for implementing this program, use trained personnel, upgrade the counseling departments of schools, and remove the time limit of teachers and legal limitations. Then, this project should be implemented at the national level for all schools in Iran.

Objectives The present research aims to explore the perceived impact of terrorist attacks on death anxiety in terms of dread, lack of control, and extent of exposure. In addition, this study is conducted to explore the moderating effect of resilience attributes and religious beliefs. Methods In this study, the samples include 359 students (directly perceived = 159, and indirectly perceived = 200). The students were in the age range of 15 to 22 years. The samples were collected from Islamabad City and Rawalpindi City, Pakistan. A total of 223 of the participants were male with a mean age of 18.97 years and a standard deviation of 2.48, and the remaining 136 participants were female with a mean age of 18.53 and a standard deviation of 2.68. The data were collected through the perceived impact of terrorist attack scale (Khan & Rafiq, 2016), the death anxiety scale (Templer, 1970), the resilience scale for adults (Friborg, 2003), and the religiosity questionnaire (Rafiq & Shehzadi, 2013). We used the quantitative research method in this study. After the data collection, they were analyzed using the SPSS software, version 23. Meanwhile, descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and moderation was done. Results The results of the correlational analysis indicated that the perceived impact of terrorist attacks (dread, lack of control, and extent of exposure) was significantly and positively (P ≥ 0.001) associated with death anxiety among directly and indirectly perceived individuals; however, directly perceived individuals were less fearful about death when compared to indirectly perceived individuals. Religious beliefs and resilience attributes had moderating effects on the relationship between the perceived impact of terrorist attacks and death anxiety. Conclusion According to the findings, we can conclude that the belief about the hereafter, the presence of God, and coping may reduce death anxiety more in directly exposed individuals compared to indirectly exposed people.

Objectives This study aims to determine the factors affecting the sense of dignity in patients with psychiatric disorders during hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital in Tehran, Iran. Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 253 adult patients with psychiatric disorders admitted to Iran Psychiatry Hospital, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to assess the patients’ sense of dignity. To analyze the collected data, independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation test, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis were used. Results There was a significant correlation between age and a sense of dignity (r=0.266, P<0.001). Patients with an educational level above a diploma had a lower sense of dignity than those with a diploma or lower (3.01 vs. 3.15, P=0.023). Patients who were aware of their own disease diagnosis had a lower sense of dignity than those who were not aware (3.06 vs. 3.17, P<0.001). The linear regression model showed the significant ability of age, knowledge of own disease diagnosis, and educational level to predict the sense of dignity. Conclusion Psychiatric patients’ age, educational level, and knowledge of own disease diagnosis can predict their sense of dignity during hospitalization. Healthcare providers and policy makers should consider these factors during interventions to improve the sense of dignity in these patients
目的本研究旨在了解影响伊朗德黑兰某精神病院精神障碍患者住院期间尊严感的因素。方法采用横断面研究。研究对象为253名在伊朗精神病院住院的成年精神障碍患者，采用方便抽样方法。研究人员制作了一份问卷来评估患者的尊严感。对收集到的资料进行分析，采用独立t检验、Pearson相关检验、方差分析和线性回归分析。结果年龄与尊严感存在显著相关(r=0.266, P<0.001)。学历在大专以上的患者的尊严感低于学历在大专以下的患者(3.01 vs. 3.15, P=0.023)。知道自己的疾病诊断的患者的尊严感低于不知道的患者(3.06 vs. 3.17, P<0.001)。线性回归模型显示年龄、自身疾病诊断知识、文化程度对尊严感的预测能力显著。结论精神科患者的年龄、文化程度和对自身疾病诊断的了解程度可以预测其住院期间的尊严感。医疗保健提供者和政策制定者应该在干预期间考虑这些因素，以提高这些患者的尊严感

Objectives The present study aims to investigate the effects of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cognitive functioning of policemen with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test/post-test design. The study population included all male police officers referred to the neuropsychiatric department of Imam Sajjad Hospital in Tehran, Iran, in 2022. Of these, 30 policemen diagnosed with PTSD were selected using a convenience sampling method and randomly divided into two groups of control and intervention. Their PTSD was diagnosed using a diagnostic interview by a psychiatrist and an expert clinical psychologist. Cognitive functions were evaluated using Rey’s visual memory test (VMT), Rey’s auditory-verbal learning test (AVLT), Tower of London test (TLT), Stroop test, and Wisconsin card sorting test, which were performed at the pre-test and post-test phases for both groups. The intervention group received 20-Hz rTMS at 10 sessions, including 5 seconds of stimulation and 20 seconds of rest interval between each stimulation (1000 pulses per session). The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance in SPSS software, version 22. Results The intervention group showed better scores in the VMT, AVLT, TLT, residual error, number of card designs, interference score, interference time, congruent error, and incongruent error compared to the control group Conclusion The high-frequency rTMS has a positive effect on the cognitive functions of policemen suffering from PTSD.

Objectives Depression is the fourth major cause of disease burden in the world, which alone accounts for the largest share of non-fatal disease burden. The present study was done to investigate the mediating role of shame and self-criticism in the relationship between attachment styles and the severity of depression symptoms. Methods The current research design was descriptive and structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the current study was all people in the age range of 18 to 47 years in Tehran in 2022. The research sample consisted of 212 people who were selected using the available sampling method. In order to collect data, Beck’s Depression Questionnaire, Hazen and Shaver’s Attachment Styles Questionnaire, Tangeni et al.’s Shame Questionnaire, and Thompson, and Zaroff’s Critical Levels Questionnaire were used. For the statistical analysis of the data, structural equation modeling using Lisrel 8/8 software was used. Results The results of data analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between anxious-avoidant attachment styles (r=0.62; p<0.01) and anxious-ambivalent (r=0.51; p<0.01) and the severity of depression symptoms, shame and the severity of depression (r=0.75; p<0.01), and self-criticism and the severity of depression (r=0.45; p<0.01). Also, the anxious-avoidant insecure attachment path and the anxious-ambivalent insecure attachment path showed a significant relationship with the severity of depression symptoms with the mediating role of shame, with standard coefficients of 0.30 and 0.33, respectively, at the p<0.05 level. In addition, the anxious-avoidant insecure attachment path and the anxious-ambivalent insecure attachment path showed a significant relationship with the severity of depression symptoms with the mediating role of self-criticism, with standard coefficients of 0.22 and 0.33, respectively, at the p<0.05 level. Conclusion According to the results of the present study, anxious-avoidant and ambivalent insecure attachment, shame, and self-criticism are the underlying factors of depression, and paying attention to the mentioned variables helps researchers and therapists in the prevention and designing of more appropriate treatments.
