Objectives Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms differ in severity, but are the same in nature. Due to the high prevalence of OCD symptoms, their ethological study is important. Given that no study has been conducted on finding the factors involved in development and continuation of these symptoms, this study aims to examine the mediating role of emotion dysregulation, experiential avoidance, and rumination in the relationship of emotional schemas with OCD symptoms. Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study. Participants were 349 college students in Tehran, Iran in the academic year of 2021-2022, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. Data analysis including structural education modeling (SEM) were conducted in SPSS software, verion 22 and LISREL v. 8.8 applications. Results The SEM model had a good fit (GFI=0.91, RMSEA=0.57). The three variables of emotion dysregulation, rumination, and experiential avoidance had a significant role in mediating the relationship between emotional schemas and OCD symptoms (P<0.05). Conclusion The interventions focusing on increasing acceptance of private experiences, reducing emotional dysregulation and rumination, and modifying emotional schemas can have better therapeutic outcomes for people with OCD.

Objectives The quality of professional life is an important determinant of job and patient satisfaction among psychotherapists. Low quality of professional life can lead to job burnout and compassion fatigue. However, factors related to the quality of professional life in psychotherapists have not yet been clearly evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of professional life of psychotherapists working in Mashhad. Methods This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted on psychotherapists working in Mashhad based on a convenience sampling method. The data collection tool in this study was the Demographic and occupational information questionnaire and the professional quality of life scale (ProQoL), which includes professional life satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue components. The relationship between study variables was evaluated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results In this study, 184 psychotherapists working in Mashhad (49.5% males and 50.5% females) with mean age of 37.4±7.6 years and a work experience of 6.5±6.6 years were studied. More than half of the participants had a moderate level of compassion satisfaction. The level of job burnout and secondary stress and compassion fatigue were low in most of the participants. There was a significant and direct relationship between job burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. There was an inverse relationship between compassion satisfaction and job burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue. The relationship between age, gender, treatment approach, and work experience with quality of life factors was not statistically significant. Conclusion The findings of the present study showed that secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue were effective factors in increasing job burnout and can be used in preventive measures.

Objectives The quality of sexual function, especially orgasm, is one of the most important issues related to sexual health and fertility. The present study aims to investigate the effect of mindfulness-based sex therapy on orgasm quality and sexual function of women with orgasm disorder. Methods This is a clinical trial. Participants were 25 Iranian married women referred to clinics of family therapy, sex therapy, and psychiatry in Tehran, Iran who were selected by a convenience sampling method. After obtaining informed consent, they completed the sexual function questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire on orgasm quality. Then, education in about the structure and performance of sexual system and sexual response processes were given to them and received the mindfulness-based sex therapy at 8 sessions before, immediately after, and three months after the intervention. The data were compared using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANOVA). Results The interventions improved orgasm quality and sexual function, and the interaction effect of treatment and time was significant. Results of MANOVA showed a significant difference in sexual function (F(2,22)=195.95, P<0.0001), orgasm quality (F(2,22)=330.97, P<0.0001), number of orgasms per month (F(2,22)=352.28, P<0.0001) and number of sexual intercourses per month (F(2,22)=183.15, P<0.0001) over time. Conclusion It seems that mindfulness-based sex therapy is effective in improving sexual function and treating orgasmic disorders in women.

Objectives This study was designed to evaluate the effect of participating in horticultural activities on changes in the severity of depression symptoms in adults with mild-to-moderate depression symptoms. Methods In this non-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 102 eligible participants were assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups (51 members each). The inclusion criteria were as follows: age of 18 years or more, mild-to-moderate depression symptoms, and willingness to participate in the study. However, the exclusion criteria were physical or mental diseases limiting horticultural activities and using antidepressants. Both groups received educational worksheets, including behavioral activation, daily activity schedules, breathing training, and relaxation instructions. Moreover, the experimental group participated in weekly three-hour horticultural program sessions for six weeks. The severity of depression symptoms was then appraised at baseline, at the end of the intervention, and four weeks after the end of the intervention through the Beck depression inventory-II (BDI-II). The repeated-measures ANOVA was used for data analysis. Results The results revealed that the mean BDI-II scores in the horticultural group declined by 5.68 (P=0.001) and 2.32 (P=0.016) points more than the control group at the end of the intervention and four weeks later, respectively. Conclusion This study indicated that horticultural activity might mitigate the severity of depression symptoms.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare sexual function, body image concern, and sexual self-esteem in women after natural delivery with episiotomy and cesarean delivery. Methods This research was causal-comparative. The statistical population included all women referring to medical centers affiliated with the Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2021, of whom 200 participants (100 women with natural delivery and 100 women with cesarean delivery) were selected as a sample using the available sampling method. The female Sexual Function Index, Body Image Concern Inventory, and Sexual Self-Esteem Index were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed via independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance. Results The results showed a significant difference between sexual function and sexual self-esteem in women with a natural delivery and cesarean delivery (P=0.05). In addition, although both groups experienced body image concerns, no significant difference was found between the scores in the two groups (P=0.05). Conclusion The evidence indicates that although women with natural delivery experience better sexual function than women with cesarean delivery, they may suffer from lower sexual self-esteem and appearance dissatisfaction compared to the other group.

Language is one of the most important parts of any culture. Persian language is one of the main components of the Iranian culture. Learning Persian language is a way for understanding Iranian culture and history. Like other languages in the world, It is crucial to pay attention and preserve all aspects of Persian language including scientific, educational and religious. All cultural institutions in Iran including the Academy of Persian Language and Literature and important people such as the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran have strongly emphasized that “Persian language should be expanded and its cultural influence in the world should be increased”. They emphasize “writing in Persian”, “creating words in Persian” ,”creating terms in Persian”, and “publishing scientific works in Persian”. Publication of scientific works in Persian can lead to the enrichment of the Persian language and reading by more people and contribute to improving the dissemination of scientific information in society particularly in human sciences.

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of maternal blouse in the postpartum period based on social determinants of health of the World Health Organization (WHO) model. Methods This cohort study was conducted on 449 postpartum women who were referred to healthcare centers of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. The sampling method was a multi-stage random method. The tools used in this research were demographic and gynecological characteristics questionnaire, socio-economic status questionnaire, depression anxiety and stress scale-21 (DASS-21), multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) (multidimensional scale of perceived social support [MSPSS]), domestic violence questionnaire (DVQ), unhealthy behavior questionnaire. Postpartum blouse was also measured based on the Stein’s questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, version 24. Results The information of 449 pregnant women participating in the study was examined. The mean age of women was 26.96±4.46 years and their husbands’ mean age was 32.17±5.6 years. The path analysis results demonstrated that among the variables related to maternal blouse (one-path test), in the indirect path analysis, socio-economic status had the most negative effect on the maternal blouse and also in the direct path analysis, DASS21 showed the most negative effect on the maternal blouse (B=-0.19) and the unfortunate event had the most positive effect (B=0.18). Violence had the most positive effect on the maternal blouse (two-path test) (B=0). Conclusion Considering the importance of the role and the high prevalence of maternal blouse in the mental health of women after childbirth, it seems necessary to pay attention to these factors for prevention and screening in terms of timely diagnosis and necessary measures.

Objectives Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an issue primarily of concern in adolescents and young adults. The Ottawa self-Injury inventory (OSI) is a self-report measure that offers a comprehensive assessment of NSSI, including the measurement of its functions and addictive features. Thus, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Ottawa self-Injury inventory-functions (OSI-F) for assessing NSSI for gifted adolescents. Methods In this correlational study, 350 gifted adolescents who were selected using the convenience sampling method, answered the OSI-F, the short version of the self-harm screening inventory for adolescents, the depression, anxiety and stress scale, and the psychological capital questionnaire. Results The results of confirmatory factor analysis in line with the results of other studies supported the factor structure consisting of four factors. The model showed significant correlations between factors (rs=0.55-0.75, p<0.001). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis also confirmed the factor structure of the addictive characteristics of self-injurious behaviors. All the items had significant path estimates (0.42 to 0.83). Cronbach’s alpha for factors of internal emotional regulation, social influence, external emotional regulation, and sensation seeking in the scale of self-injurious behavior functions was equal to 0.86, 0.87, 0.64, and 0.72, respectively, and for the scale of addictive characteristics was 0.87. Convergent validity of scales of functions and addictive characteristics of self-injurious behavior was obtained through the relationship with scores in scales of anxiety, depression, stress, and deliberate self-injurious behaviors, as well as psychological capital factors. Conclusion Results showed preliminary psychometric support for the OSI as a valid and reliable assessment tool to be used in both research and clinical contexts.

Objectives With the emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the world, including Iran, the need for its prevention and treatment became a national priority for the countries. Children, as one of the most vulnerable groups, are affected by this pandemic in various dimensions. This study aims to identify and categorize the protective and risk factors of mental health problems in Iranian children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This is a systematic review. A search was conducted in international and national databases for the related studies, and the results were reported based on the PRISMA diagram. The quantitative studies were assessed by Joanna Briggs Institute’s Critical Appraisal Checklist. Finally, 9 studies were selected for the review. Results Among the reviewed studies, only one study was conducted in the entire Iran; more than 44% were conducted in Tehran. The study populations of more than 77% of studies were the children selected from the general population. The protective factors of mental health problems (anxiety and fear of COVID-19) in children included: High level of self-differentiation, positive parent-child conflict resolution tactics, older age, parents’ increased time of staying at home, and high educational level of mothers. On the other hand, the risk factors of mental health problems (anxiety, fear of COVID-19, and aggression) in children were: COVID-19-related anxiety in mothers, anxiety/stress/depression in mothers, children’s awareness of COVID-19, infection or death of a relative due to COVID-19, employment of parents as a medical staff, parents’ intrusion and hyperarousal, being a single child, and hearing loss. Conclusion Compared to other countries, limited studies have addressed the social determinants of mental health problems (anxiety, fear of COVID-19, and aggression) of children in Iran during the pandemic. Identifying and addressing the factors that threaten, exacerbate, or enhance Iranian children’s mental health through interventions and social measures can lead to breaking the ineffective cycle of inequality and discrimination, promoting mental health, and reducing harm in the face of future pandemics.

Objectives Students are the spiritual assets of each country. Anxiety and mental health problems negatively affect their performance. This study aims to assess the effect of online group metacognitive training on the medical students’ health anxiety and general health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This a randomized clinical trial. Participants were 56 students of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences aged 18-30 years who were selected by a convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The intervention group received online metacognitive training at 8 sessions, each for one hour, while the control group did not receive any intervention. At three stages of pre-test, post-test, and one-month follow-up, they completed Salkovskis and Warwick’s short health anxiety inventory and the 28-item general health questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 23. Using the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Results Metacognitive training was effective in reducing health anxiety and improving general health of students (P<0.05). The results remained significant one month after the intervention. Conclusion Metacognitive training online can reduce health anxiety and improve general health of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
