Since this phenomenon can be prevented, early detection is very important. The present research aimed at constructing and validating the Resilience to Suicide Questionnaire. Method: To this end, 200 students in Shiraz University participated in the analysis of the psychometric properties of this questionnaire. Results: The reliability of the questionnaire was investigated through test, retest and the Cronbach’s alpha and the reliability coefficients were calculated to be 0.93 and 0.83 respectively. To study the validity of this questionnaire, 4 methods were used. The construct validity of the Resilience to Suicide Questionnaire was investigated by determining the correlation coefficient between this questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory Π and the correlation coefficients were calculated to be of -0.60 (p

Objective: The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of the Brief Religious Coping Scale (BRCS, Pargament, Koenig & Perez, 2000) among male and female cancer patients. 155 cancer patients (119 female, 36 male) completed the Brief Religious Coping Scale. Method: The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods and internal consistency coefficients were used to compute the BRCS's factorial validity and reliability, respectively. Results: The results of principal component analysis (PC) with varimax rotation replicated 2-factor structure of positive and negative religious coping strategies for cancer patients. Goodness-of-fit indices of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the 2 extracted factors. Internal consistency coefficients for positive and negative religious coping strategies were 0/85 and 0/80, respectively. Conclusion: In sum, BRCS appears to be a good instrument that does what it was intended to do: assess religious methods of coping in an efficient, psychometrically sound, and theoretically meaningful manner

Method: This study was a pre- experimental study by pretest- posttest design with a control group. Thirty women pregnant had 16 to 32 weeks were selected with the high score in anxiety of pregnancy questionnaire. The study participants were placed in two groups (one experimental with mindfulness-based Islamic spiritual schema and another control) by chance selection. The Dareshori anxiety of pregnancy Questionnaire was used for collecting the data in pre-test and post-test stages. Multivariate Analysis of Covariance was used for analyzing the data. Results: mindfulness-based Islamic –spiritual schemas training reduced indicators of pregnancy anxiety ( fear of emotions and interpersonal relationships, fear of appearance changes and fear of childbirth) and increased the physiological characteristics of newborns (eg, weight, head circumference and score at the first minute and the fifth minute Apgar).

Cognitive Rehabilitation is a cognitive and neuropsychological interventions program, designed to rehabilitate cognitive deficiencies. Method: Twenty patients with stroke were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. All patients were examined twice (pre-test and post-test) by using Wechsler's working memory test, N-Back spatial working memory test. All patients in experimental group underwent computerized working memory rehabilitation, 30 to 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. Results: Analysis of covariance indicated that cognitive rehabilitation had an effect on the verbal working memory of adults in stroke but does not affect spatial working memory. Conclusion: The results showed that, there is a significant improvement in verbal working memory, it may occur as a result of changes in neural organization in response to injury.

Objective: Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in Iran and the world. It is chronic, progressive and expensive and creates many complications. This study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief in the prediction of quality of life in diabetic patients. Methods: The study was based on a descriptive correlational method. Statistical population consisted of all patients with type 2 diabetes in Ardabil city in 2015. 124 diabetic patients were selected as the statistical sample using the convenience sampling. Data were collected through Dugas and Sextons cognitive avoidance scale (2008), Wells metacognitive belief scale (2004) and the world health organization quality of Life Scale (1996). Research data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression methods. Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between cognitive avoidance components and metacognitive belief with quality of life in diabetic patients (p < 0.05). Beta coefficients for predictor variables indicated that thoughts repression -0.16, thoughts succession -0.20, avoidance of threatening stimuli -0.22, changing image to thought -0.24 and metacognitive belief -0.12 have significantly predictive capability of Quality of Life in Diabetic Patients (p < 0.05).
