Objective:The present study examined the effect of Logotherapy in relapse prevention and craving in females with substance dependency.Method: In a semi-experimental study, 30 women with the diagnosis of substance dependency who successfully detoxified in Tehran therapeutic community of women Center were divided into two experimental group (12 subjects) and control group (13subjects) selected convenience sampling method. The experimental group received 8 sessions of Logotherapy, each session in a week, while the control group did not receive any training at the same time. All subjects were assessed through Gorsciʼs (1987) relapse prevention scale and Franken and colleagesʼ (2002) craving reduction scale and morphine test before treatment, randomly during the treatment, after treatment and after 3 months follow up. Data were analyzed via repeated measures ANOVA.Results: Results of multivariate and univariate covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups in relapse prevention and craving in the post and follow up tests. Study results also showed that there is a significant difference between two groups regard to relapse. Conclusion:The results indicated that Logotherapy is effective in relapse prevention and craving reduction in females with substance dependency.

Objective: This research was conducted to study The forecast of the warning signs of immune deficiency through attachment style, sense of humor, explanatory style and perceived stress with locus of control mediation and personality type in nurses. Method: This research is correlational and forecasts that was performed among 281 in nurses. The subjects were selected through cluster sampling and they all answered Collins and Read attachment style questionnaire, Svebak sense of humor questionnaire, Scheier andCarver explanatory style questionnaire, Rotter locus of control questionnaire, Cohen perceived stress Scale, Friedman & Rosenman personality type questionnaire and Jeffrey Modell warning signs of immune deficiency questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by Amos software through path analysis. Results: The results showed that the proposed model is very convenient for mentioned indicators. Secure attachment style whit warning signs are negatively correlated (p≤0/01), and ambivalent attachment style is positively correlated (p≤0/01). Locus of control with warning signs are positively correlated (p≤0/01), humor with warning signs are negatively correlated (p≤0/01) and personality type with warning signs are positively correlated (p≤0/01). Conclusion: The activity of the immune system can be predicted directly or indirectly through psychological and personality traits.

The data was analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis by SPSS-22 and AMOS-21 software.Result: the results showed a significant positive correlation among components of mental pain, anxiety, depression, and negative cognitive emotional regulation strategies (P≥0.001). Also, a significant positive correlation was found among components of mental pain and self-compassion (P≥0.001). The results of the exploratory factor analysis identified 6 factors, which in total, explained 66.40% of the variance in mental pain. 44 items in 6 factors were validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.966 for the whole MPS, 0.925 for emptiness, 0.893 for emotional flooding, 0.877 for loss of control, 0.872 for irreversibility, 0.869 for self-estrangement, and 0.617 for freezing.Conclusion: Persian version of Mental Pain Scale has acceptable psychometric properties among academic students and can be used as a valid tool in psychological research.
