The sample consisted of 202 employees, who were selected by simple random sampling method and answered to the effort-reward imbalance, job content, and psychosomatic symptoms in nonclinical context questionnaires. Fitness of the proposed model was examined through structural equation modeling (SEM), using SPSS-18 and AMOS-18 software packages. The indirect effects were tested using the bootstrap procedure. Findings: Findings indicated that the proposed model fit the data properly. Also mediating role of overcommitment in effort-reward imbalance model and mediating role of social support in demand-control-support model were confirmed.

Objective: Psychological capital is a new concept which has been raised since the third millennium and entered in organizational field since 2006. Given the unique role of this concept in the production of corporate wealth it has been changed into a research basis for researchers and scholars. Therefore, the present study aims to design a model for promotion of psychological capital with an emphasis on illness perception. Method: Statistical population includes all employed patients who suffer diabetes type2 and who are members of Mashhad Diabetes Research Centre. Of this group 80 participants were selected according to available sample method. Data was collected by questionnaires of Illness Perception(IPQ), luthans capital of psychology and Quality Of Life Questionnair for Diabetes and was analyzed using structural equations and regression model with the help of Amos software. Results: The results showed that there is a positive relationship between illness perception and psychological capital, but this relation is not significant. However, when quality of life intervenes in this relationship, the coefficient and severity of correlation increases. Conclusion: Eventually, fitness test of the model confirms its appropriateness for diabetes patients

Method: design study is causal- comparative. 41 primary school students, in 7 to 12 year age, Of the population of primary school of Tehran were selected as samples available in 1395. 21 students with excess weight and 20 students with normal weight were measured in Strop test, the Tower of London tools and BMI. Results: The results of T-test showed significant differences in the ability in inhibitory system function between two groups Conclusion: According to the findings, it seems the obese children and adolescents have poorer inhibition control system than normal weight peers. This deficiency can reduce the other cognitive abilities in long term and have an impact on children's academic and social success.

Objective: Stress and other emotional distress are prevalent among cardiovascular patients. This study is performed to investigate the effect of medical counseling on stress and physiological factors of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). Methods: This study is of experimental type with pre-test, post-test and control group. Our sample consisted of 60 patients selected by a randomly accessible method and placed either into the experimental group or the control group. Stress was measured by Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and physical factors data were obtained from patients’ files twice, before and after medical intervention. Findings: Findings showed that post-test stress in experimental group was less than that of PCI patients, though not significant. Data were analyzed using SPSS and MANCOVA. Conclusion: Medical counseling lacked any significant effect on stress and physiological factors of these patients. The experience of stress in cardiac patients seems to be unique and different from other people, thus its measurement requires a scale specifically designed for these patients.

Objective: Pediatric disease affects the health condition of their mothers. The present study conducted with the aim of examining the effectiveness of a mother-child attachment-based intervention on health indices in mothers of children with a chronic disease. Method: Method of the present study was experimental with a pre/post-test design. The subjects were twenty-two mothers who volunteered for this randomized controlled trial and had a child undergoing medical treatment for their chronic disease. After being evaluated by a battery of questionnaires that included Parenting Stress Index (PSI; Abidin, 1990) and 28-form General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28; Goldberg & Hillier, 1979) mothers were paired on the basis of health subscales scores, age, the number of family children, and the kind of their child’s disease. Each one of paired mothers was then randomly assigned to an experimental or a control group. Mothers in experimental group received ten sessions of mother-child attachment-based intervention over a 5-weeks period with their children. Meanwhile, mothers and children in control group received 10 simple conversational sessions without any psychological intervention, as a dummy intervention. Both groups were evaluated again after completing their respective treatment regimens. Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) showed significant differences between two groups after treatment and revealed significant changes in mothers’ health indices including competency, social isolation, attachment to child, health, physical syndrome, anxiety and depression, in experimental group in pre-post-treatment stages comparison. Conclusion: It can be concluded that mother-child attachment-based intervention would improve quality of health in mothers of children with chronic disease.
