Objective: Adopting a balanced diet promotes human health. However, excessive focus on healthy eating can lead to food obsession, which is termed orthorexia nervosa (ON). The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Orthorexia Nervosa Scale (ONS). Method: The statistical population of this study consisted of all undergraduate students of the Islamic Azad University, Tehran Science and Research Branch in the academic year 98-99, among whom 322 students (201 females, 121 males) were selected by multistage sampling, and they responded to the Orthorexia Nervosa Scale (ONS), the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI-R), the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), the Body Image-Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (BI-AAQ), and the NEO Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). The data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha and Pearson correlation using SPSS and AMOS. Findings: Results of the exploratory factor analysis showed 2 factors with eigenvalues higher than 1 which explained 41/92% of the total variance. Also, confirmatory factor analysis indicators implied the optimal fitness of two-factor model of this scale. The total reliability of the scale was estimated to be respectively 0.78 and 0.81 using Cronbach’s alpha and split half. Convergent validity and divergent validity were also confirmed by calculating scale correlation through the aforementioned scales (p<0.05). Also, this scale had a positive and significant correlation with neuroticism (p<0.01). Conclusion: The Orthorexia Nervosa Scale has a relatively proper validity and reliability for being used in Iranian samples and can be a suitable tool for researches of this field.

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: Patients with type 2 diabetes had low levels of associated psychological well-being, which may exacerbate their symptoms. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between psychological hardiness, sense of cohesion, and coping strategies with psychological well-being in patients with type 2diabetes. Method: In this descriptive-correlational study, 120 patients with type 2 diabetic who referred to the diabetes clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ardabil in the first half of 2019 were selected as the target sample and evaluated. Data collection tools consisted of Psychological Well-being Scale (Ryff, 1989), Hardiness (Kobasa, 1979), 13-item Cohesion Sense Questionnaire (Antonovsky, 1987), and Coping Strategies (Lazarus & Folkman, 1985). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Findings: There were a positive and significant relationship between the psychological well-being of patients with type 2 diabetes with psychological hardiness (β=0/36: p<0/001), sense of cohesion (β=0/53: p<0/003), and problem-based coping strategy (β=0/12: p<0/03), and negative and significant relationship with emotion-based coping strategy (β=-0/43: p<0/001). Psychological hardiness, sense of cohesion, and coping strategies predicted 76% of the variance in psychological well-Being scores of patients with type 2 diabetes (p<0/01). Conclusion:According to the findings, psychological hardiness, sense of cohesion, and coping strategies are associated with the psychological well-being of patients with type 2 diabetes and can explain one's attitude toward illness. Therefore, educating patients to empower them in these areas is recommended.

Method: The method of the present study is correlational and structural equation model type. The statistical population of this study included all applicants for cosmetic surgery referred to clinics and beauty hospitals in Mashhad, 2019. Samples were selected by available sampling method (212 people). Data were collected by using three BICI body image concern questionnaires, Yale-Brown's modified scale of obsessive-compulsive disorder for body dysfunction, and body management, and they were analyzed by structural equation modeling using LISREL and SPSS software. Findings: The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the variables of concern about body image and body management, respectively, were strong predictors of the possibility of cosmetic surgery. Also, data analysis shows the appropriateness of the indicators and indicated a good and acceptable fitness for the hypothesized model at a significant level. The findings of the structural model showed that the path of obsessive disorder variable is directly and significant related to concern of body image and is related to body management by mediating anxiety about body image. Conclusion: In order to improve body management in the cosmetic surgery applicants should pay more attention to the components of their body image concerns and obsessive beliefs.

Objective: the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and neurofeedback on severity and intensity of somatic symptoms and emotional regulation in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Method: the study was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design and follow-up with control group. The study population included all women with irritable bowel syndrome referred to gastroenterology clinics in Qazvin city in 2019. 45 patients were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and one control group. The Rome-III Diagnostic Criteria Form and the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003) were administered to all sample subjects before, after and two months after the intervention. The experimental groups underwent Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and neurofeedback. Findings: The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and neurofeedback were effective on reducing severity and intensity of somatic symptoms and increasing emotional regulation in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (p<0.01). Comparison of the means of the two experimental groups showed that there was no significant difference between their effectiveness on the extent and severity of physical symptoms and emotional regulation of patients (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both interventions can reduce the severity and intensity of patients' physical symptoms and increase their emotional regulation through their special techniques. Therefore, therapists can use these interventions to control the physical and emotional symptoms of patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

The present study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on cognitive emotion regulation strategies, body image and resilience of infertile women. Method: The method of the current study being quasi-experimental, was with pretest-posttest design with control group. The statistical population of the study included all infertile women who had referred to Ghadir Hospital of Shiraz in 2019. Using purposeful sampling method, a total of 30 infertile women were selected and were randomly categorized as experimental and control groups. In the pre-test and post-test stages, Resilience Scale, Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the body Image Concern Inventory were conducted. After performing the pretest, the experimental group received ACT for 8 sessions of 60 minutes and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance with SPSS-22 software. Findings: The results showed that by controlling the effect of pre-test, there was a significant difference between the mean post-test of the two groups in the variables of adaptive emotion regulation strategies (F=18.173), maladaptive emotion regulation strategies (F=16.163), body image (F=17.593) and resilience (F=16.826) at the level P = 0.01. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, we can make use of ACT for the improvement of emotion regulation strategies, body image and resilience of infertile women.

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.
