Objective: Nursing is known to be a stressful profession that can lead to physical and psychological health issues and behavioural problems. In oncology, workload among nurses is believed to be increasing in conjunction with rapidly increasing numbers of patients with cancer and staff shortages worldwide, therefore it is essential to sustain a quality oncology nurse workforce. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate factorial structure of the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-Short Form (CISS-SF, Endler & Parker, 1999). Method: In this correlational study, a sample of 151 nurses of Tehran Medical Sciences University completed the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations-Short Form (CISS-SF, Endler & Parker, 1999). The exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor statistics analysis methods were used to compute the CISS-SF's factor structure. Findings: Results of principal component analysis (PC) with varimax rotation replicated the four-factor structure of emotion-oriented coping style, task-oriented coping style and avoidance-oriented coping style (including avoidance behaviors of social diversion and distraction) in the sample. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis based AMOS Statistics software confirmed the 4 extracted factors (emotion-oriented coping style, task-oriented coping style and avoidance-oriented coping style including avoidance behaviors of social diversion and distraction). Cronbach alpha coefficients for emotion-oriented coping style, task-oriented coping style, social diversion and distraction were 0/83, 0/78, 0/77 and 0/77 respectively. Conclusion: These findings speak to the robustness of the CISS-SF, in revealing its relatively stable structure, and consequently, to its potential usefulness as a valid measure for assessing preferred coping style for stressful situations in Iranian nurses.

Objective: The present research was aimed to study the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy in cognitive emotion regulation and ego strength among cardiovascular patients with obesity.
Method: The method was semi-experimental with pretest, posttest and 3-month follow-up with control group design. The statistical population included all cardiovascular patients with obesity in Tehran who referred to Shariati and Rajaei hospitals in 2019-2020. The sampling method was purposive method. Thirty patients were assigned in two groups randomly (15 patients in each group). The experimental group received emotion-focused intevention in 90-minute weekly sessions for eight weeks. The control group were in waitting list. To gather the data, the cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefsk and Kraaij., 2007) and the psychosocial inventory of ego strengths (Markstrom, et al., 1997) questionairs were implemented. The data were analyzed by SPSS-24 via analysis of variance with repeated measures.
Results: Results showed that emotion-focused therapy was effective in increasing positive emotional cognitive regulation (p<0.001) and ego strength (p<0.001). The effectiveness of this treatment in negative emotional cognitive regulation was not significant (p>0.05). The interactive effect of time group for the components of hope (P = 0.170, h2 = 0.018), desire (h2=0.182, P = 0.012), goal (h2 = 0.207, P = 0.005), competence (h2=0.141, P=0.042), loyalty h2=0.296, P = 0.001, F = 6.95), love (h2=0.317, P=0.001), care (h2=0.274, P=0.001) and wisdom (h2=0.190, P=0.011) are significant. The results of the Ben Feroni test comparing the effect of time showed that the difference in the average scores of the eight components of my strength in the pre-test-post-test and pre-test-follow-up stages is statistically significant, but the difference in the average scores in the post-test-follow-up stages is not significant.
Conclusion: According to the findings, it could be said that emotion-focused therapy was a reliable and a stable method in order to improving the psychological conditions of cardiovascular patients, especially ego strength and positive emotional cognitive regulation. In explaining the effectiveness of emotion-oriented therapy in increasing the strength of cardiovascular patients with obesity, it can be said that emotion-oriented therapy is by processing emotional experiences to cardiovascular patients in regulating their emotional functions and in this way achieve more consistent emotional responses that increase resilience and strength. Achieving adaptive emotional responses by modulating emotional responses and coping with disempowering maladaptive emotions increases my resilience in these individuals.

Objective: In the context of the widespread prevalence of coronavirus, self-care behaviors play an important role in individual and public health, so it is important to identify its antecedents. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the role of self-compassion, emotion regulation, and corona anxiety in predicting self-care behaviors of family members with Covid-19. Method: In the present cross-sectional study, a correlation design was used. The study population was family members of patients with Covid-19, and 235 people were selected by convenient methods. A self-report of 10 questions of self-care behaviors, Corona anxiety scale, emotion regulation scale, and self-compassion scale was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression tests. Findings: The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between self-kindness (the first component of self-compassion) and psychological symptoms of corona anxiety with self-care behaviors, and there is a significant negative relationship between suppression emotion regulation strategy and self-care behaviors. But the two components of self-compassion, including common humanity, mindfulness, reappraisal emotion regulation strategy, and physical symptoms of corona anxiety don't have significantly associated with self-care behaviors. Also, self-kindness, psychological symptoms of corona anxiety, and emotion suppression strategy were predicting corona self-care behaviors. Conclusion: Therefore, in explaining the corona-virus-related self-care behaviors, paying attention to self-kindness, the psychological symptoms of coronary anxiety, and the emotion suppression strategy will help.

Objective: The aim of present study was comparison of the effectiveness of autogenic training and progressive muscle relaxation on pain and cardiac enzymes in women with chest pain. Method: The current research was a pre-test-post-test experiment with a control group and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population included all women with chest pain in Karaj city in 1400. The sampling method was purposeful and 60 patients with chest pain were selected in Shahid Rajaei Karaj Hospital and were placed in three groups: autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation treatment and control group. Autogenic training consisted of 12 sessions for 90 minutes and progressive muscle relaxation intervention included 8 sessions for 2 hours. To evaluate research variables MC Gill pain intensity and pain catastrophizing were used. Troponin and creatinine phosphokinase kit (CPK-MB) were used to measure cardiac enzymes. Data analysis was done using covariance analysis and post hoc test. Findings: The results showed that progressive muscle relaxation is more effective in reducing pain compared to autogenic training (P<0/05) and there was no significant difference between autogenic training and progressive muscle relaxation on cardiac enzymes (P<0/05). Conclusion: Considering the greater effectiveness of progressive muscle relaxation on pain reduction, it is suggested that relevant experts use progressive muscle relaxation to reduce the pain intensity of patients with chest pain.
