Objective: The present study aims to identify the prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) in India and assess the expert opinion on the treatment choices for these patients, specifically involving escitalopram and clonazepam. Methodology: The cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study collected data through a multiple-response questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised 38 questions, covering various aspects such as the prevalence, symptoms, and treatment options for anxiety and depression in patients with HTN and DM. Results: Of the 242 respondents, 52% and 41% reported that anxiety and depression are the most common psychiatric conditions reported in HTN and DM patients. The majority of respondents (66.53%) preferred using selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for treating these patients. In patients who were unresponsive to initial treatment with an anxiolytic medication, approximately 35% of specialists recommended switching to another anxiolytic medication within the same class. According to 36% and 32% of respondents, around 51-75% of these patients reported improvement in anxiety or depressive symptoms after receiving either escitalopram or clonazepam. To prevent dropout in these patients, nearly 42% of responders recommended initiating low-dose combination medications. Conclusion: In HTN and DM patients, SSRIs and benzodiazepines are recommended for the treatment of anxiety and depression. The experts highly recommend escitalopram and clonazepam medications in these patients for improvement in depression and anxiety levels. However, experts suggest initiating treatment with low-dose combination medications to prevent dropout and for the management of anxiety and depression.

Introduction: Self-compassion is one of the components of emotional intelligence. This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and nurses' self-compassion.Methods: This study was cross-sectional research that was conducted on 82 nurses with simple random sampling. Research instruments were demographic information, the emotional intelligence questionnaire of Bradberry and Greaves, and the self-compassion questionnaire of NEFF. Independent t-test, analysis of variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software.Findings: In the study, Most of the nurses were female (85.37%), with an average age of 33.24±7.94, married (63.41%), bachelor (95.12%), and officially employed. The total scores of nurses' intelligence and self-compassion were 128.05±13.46 and 85.06±12.19, respectively. There is a positive and significant correlation between the emotional intelligence and self-compassion of nurses (r=0.35) and (P=0.001). Conclusion: Since there is a significant correlation between emotional intelligence and nurses' self-compassion, it is suggested to hold educational workshops to improve emotional intelligence

The present study examined the relationship between self-efficacy, goal orientations and hope with school satisfaction, and determine the share of each variable in predicting student satisfaction with school in high school female students. The research method was descriptive and correlations study. The population of the study was all second-grade high school female students (N = 902) of Javanrud city in Iran. According to Krejcie and Morgan’s suggested table, 269 students from this statistical population were selected as the subject sample by cluster random sampling method, and answered Academic self-efficacy Scale, Goal orientation Scale, Hope Scale, and Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale ((MSLSS). The structural Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis method was used to examine the data. The data were analyzed by SPSS26 and AMOS26 software. The study's findings indicated that academic self-efficacy, mastery-approach orientation and hope have a positive and significant correlation with school satisfaction (P= 0/01). Furthermore, the correlation between mastery- avoid orientation and school satisfaction was negative and significant (p=0/05), whereas there was no significant correlation between performance-avoid orientation and school satisfaction. The results of regression analysis indicated that academic self-efficacy, goal orientation and hope significantly predict 27% of satisfaction with the school. So, it can be concluded that, enhancing the academic self-efficacy and hope in students leads to more their school satisfaction.
