This related to an increase in the level of anxiety or health distress, and in other words, it is a type of anxiety that leads to searching for health-related information online, and this causes an increase in the level of anxiety, worry and unnecessary expenses. The aim of this study was to investigate the Psychometric properties of the short form of Cyberchondria questionnaire. Method: The present study applied in terms of purpose and its method is descriptive and psychometric studies. The statistical population of the present study was students of public and private universities in Isfahan in 1398. For the present study, 566 students (344 females and 223 males) from Isfahan University students selected by stratified random sampling method using virtual self-examination questionnaires (McElroy and Shevlin, 2014) and health anxiety questionnaire. (Salkovskis and Warwick, 2002) responded. Research data analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 22 software. Results: The findings showed that in the virtual Cyberchondria questionnaire measurement model, all factor loads including compulsion (0.714), distress (0.878), excessiveness (0.805), and reassurance (0.921) were significant. (P <0.001). In addition, the CVI coefficient for all items of the Cyberchondria questionnaire was higher than 0.9 and the intra-class correlation coefficient of the questionnaire resulting from its two implementation was equal to 0.971, which is at a safe distance and is higher than the acceptable value. The reliability obtained using Cronbach's alpha and halving coefficient for the whole questionnaire and all four dimensions is higher than 0.7. The findings also showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between Cyberchondria questionnaire and health anxiety (P <0.001) and the correlation coefficient of the two questionnaires was 0.782. Conclusion: Health-related internet use, in the context of health anxiety is best conceptualized as health-related safety behavior maintained through intermittent reinforcement. In general, according to the results of validity and reliability, the virtual autopsy questionnaire can used in psychological research. Also, these results support the psychometric characteristics and validity of the virtual self-diagnosis questionnaire among the non-clinical sample, and it can be said that this questionnaire is approved in the Iranian sample and has psychometric characteristics and practical tools for diagnosis.

The purpose of the present research was to study effectiveness of group stress inoculation training (SIT) on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and life quality in the women involved blood pressure. Method: The method of research was semi experimental and with design is pretest- post test by control group. For sampling, by using of life quality questionnaire and manometer, 30 women that had low life quality and 130 above systolic and 90 above diastolic blood pressure were chosen on simple random basic and were divided on voluntarily experimental and control groups. Experiment group received 10 sessions of SIT techniques an control group did not receive any training. After receiving of training, life quality and blood pressure were measured for next time. Results: Results showed systolic blood pressure (3.09) diastolic blood pressure (3.17) life quality (3.30) P<0.05 revealed significant effect.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Emotion-focused therapy and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on anxiety and depression in heart patients in Tehran in 2019. Method: The research method is semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design (three groups) with two experimental groups and one control group. The statistical population of the study consisted of all cardiac patients in Tehran, among whom 45 were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned in two experimental groups and one control group (15 people in each group). The Emotion-focused therapy experiment group was trained in nine 60-minute sessions and the Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation group received training during five 20-minute sessions, and the control group remained on the waiting list. The tools used in the present study included depression (Beck, Steer & Brown, 1996), and anxiety (Beck, Epstein, Brown & Esther, 1988) questionnaires, which were administered in two stages of pre-test and post-test. The analysis of data obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires were performed through SPSS-24 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (analysis of covariance). Findings: The findings showed that both interventions used in this study could significantly decrease the anxiety and depression of heart patients (p <0.05), with a greater effect of emotion- focused therapy on anxiety and depression compared to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. In addition, no significant difference was observed in the posttest and follow up phases (p <0.05), which indicates the stability of intervention changes. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the treatment of Emotion-focused therapy and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation are effective interventions in reducing anxiety and depression in heart patients, but Emotion-focused therapy was more effective.

Objective: Based on Young’s schema therapy model, three coping styles i.e. avoidance, surrender, and overcompensation is utilized against schema activation. Confronting with events, the type of dominant coping style affects general health. The aim of this study was to predict general health status (mental and physical) based on the type of dominant coping styles. Method: For this purpose, Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), Young-Rygh Compensation Inventory (YCI), and Young-Rygh Avoidance Inventory (YAI) were filled by 120 students of University of Tehran sampled via convenience sampling. The results were analysis through correlation and multiple regression methods in SPSS software (version 18). Findings: The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between two coping styles i.e. avoidance and overcompensation with general health status (p≤0/05). In addition, regression analysis showed that overcompensation coping style has a major role in the prediction of general health status. Conclusion: Based on the results, both coping styles i.e. avoidance and overcompensation have negative effect on general health, but facing with events through excessive overcompensation has more deteriorative effect on mental and physical health.
