Objective: Obesity and overweight impose significant health care costs, while being preventable and treatable. Prevention of obesity is the best treatment strategy. Research results show that many internal and external factors can be considered as obstacles to obesity prevention or weight loss. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the mediating role of cognitive errors in the relationship between socio-cultural pressure and fear of body image in obese women without a history of weight loss. Method: The descriptive cross-sectional research design was of the correlation type, which was carried out with 200 obese women aged 30 to 55 without a history of weight loss, using available sampling method from the cities of Tehran, Rasht and Kashan, in the second half of 2012. To measure, body mass index (BMI) was used and Subjects answered demographic questionnaires, Littleton's fear of body image (BICI), perceived cultural-social pressure (PSPS) and Ellis' cognitive errors (CDQ). Data analysis was done with SPSS and Amos software version 22. Results: The average and standard deviation of the variables according to the age group of 46 to 50 years, the most cognitive error, the most average fear of body image and cultural-social pressure has been assigned to itself. These estimates are true in working women compared to housewives and also in married women compared to single women. The findings showed a relationship between cultural-social pressure and fear of body image (p<0.05, r=0.38), cognitive errors and fear of body image (p<0.05, r=0.50) and cultural-social pressure and cognitive errors (p<0.05 , r=0.65) there is a significant relationship; One unit of change of cultural-social pressure leads to 0.36 changes in fear of body image, one unit of change in cognitive errors leads to 0.55 changes in body image, and one unit of change in cultural-social pressure leads to 0.66 changes in cognitive errors. The proposed mediation model had a relatively good fit, and the drawn model explained 63% of the variable scores of fear of body image (χ2/df=2.503, RMSEA=0.088, CFI=0.609, PCFI=0.695, IFI=0.730, GFI=0.609). Bootstrap analysis showed that cognitive errors significantly mediate the relationship between socio-cultural pressure scores and fear of body image (95% CI: 0.172 to 0.154). Conclusion: According to the findings, which showed that the mediating role of cognitive errors in the relationship between socio-cultural pressure and body image in obese women without a history of weight loss is significant, cognitive errors such as bipolar thinking and attention bias have the destructive effect of cultural-social pressure to create more fear of body image intensifies in obese women. That is, although cultural-social pressure can be the trigger for weight loss, if there are cognitive errors, instead of the cultural-social pressure being the trigger, it turns it into obstacles. Therefore, it is possible to develop educational programs for obesity therapists and general health policy makers to increase awareness of cognitive errors in order to promote a correct understanding of body image and cultural -social pressure regarding persuasion to reduce or maintain weight loss.

Objective: Entering college is a critical developmental stage that can make students vulnerable to disordered eating attitudes and eating disorders. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perfectionism and body dissatisfaction in relation to eating attitudes, with the mediating role of anxiety among college students. Method: The current research utilized a correlational design with path analysis. The statistical population of this study consisted of 19-24-year-old undergraduate students at Kharazmi University, Tehran, who were enrolled in the first semester of the academic year, which fell in 2023. From this population, 478 students were selected using a random one-stage cluster sampling method. Ethical principles such as the informed consent of the participants and maintaining the confidentiality of the data were taken into consideration. In order to collect data, the 26-item version of Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), and Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) were used. Data analysis was carried out with SPSS-26 and Amos-24 software. Results: The results of this study showed that the effects of perfectionism (β = 0.46, p < 0.01), body dissatisfaction (β = 0.36, p < 0.01), and anxiety (β = 0.13, p < 0.01) on eating attitudes were positive and significant. Additionally, perfectionism (β = 0.33, p < 0.01) and body dissatisfaction (β = 0.38, p < 0.01) had positive and significant effects on anxiety, and perfectionism (β = 0.21, p < 0.01) had a positive and significant effect on body dissatisfaction. The indirect effects of perfectionism and body dissatisfaction on eating attitudes through anxiety were also positive and significant. Moreover, perfectionism had a positive and significant indirect effect on anxiety through body dissatisfaction. Thus,these findings clearly indicate the mediating role of anxiety in the relationship between perfectionism and body dissatisfaction with eating attitudes, as well as the mediating role of body dissatisfaction in the relationship between perfectionism and anxiety. The measured model demonstrated a good fit (x2/df = 2.43, CFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.04, NFI = 0.98, IFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.96). These results indicate an acceptable fit of the measured model and the overall goodness of fit indices. Conclusion: Generally, The study's findings indicated that perfectionism, by influencing body dissatisfaction, leads to elevated levels of anxiety, which subsequently affects individuals' eating attitudes. In essence, various dimensions of perfectionism impose strict standards on individuals, thereby impacting their body dissatisfaction and anxiety levels. Furthermore, body dissatisfaction exacerbates anxiety, further influencing eating attitudes. Overall, the study highlights the intricate interplay between perfectionism, body dissatisfaction, and anxiety, and their combined impact on eating attitudes. Recognizing these interconnected factors can enhance our comprehension of eating attitudes and contribute to more effective clinical interventions. Educational programs aimed at raising awareness and improving perfectionism, body image, and eating attitudes among college students are recommended. Considering the strong correlation between anxiety and eating attitudes, training in emotional awareness and anxiety management could serve as effective preventive measures, enhancing overall well-being and therapeutic outcomes. Understanding these elements is vital for developing comprehensive preventive strategies and therapeutic approaches.

Objective: The aim of the current research is to understand the lived experience of nurses in the corona ward and to determine the strategies they use when facing burnout. The population of this research includes nurses from the corona department of hospitals affiliated to Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences. Method: The present qualitative research was conducted in the first half of 1401. The research sample was selected by non-random sampling method (purposive sampling) and after identifying nurses with moderate to high burnout, 10 people were finally selected according to the saturation of opinions. First, through semi-structured interviews, the data about nurses' experiences were collected. Job burnout and coping strategies were collected and converted into textual data after recording each interview. These data were analyzed with Claysey's seven-stage content analysis method. Results: In the open coding stage, 46 codes were extracted, which were reduced to 15 codes in the axial coding stage. Finally, 4 main themes include strategies based on on the family, including the sub-themes of emotional support of the family, emotional support of friends and social groups, and accepting help from the family, individual-based strategies, including creating a positive attitude, work-life balance, healthy sports and recreation, changing majors and departments, empowerment and collaborative experiences and referring to psychologists and psychiatrists, spirituality-based strategies including faith and heart belief and values governing the profession and organization-based strategies including instrumental support, reducing work density, providing preventive and therapeutic counseling services, paying attention to Welfare facilities and encouragement of employees were identified. Conclusion: Nurses' strategies are different when facing burnout. Emotional support from close family plays an important role in controlling job burnout components and they are a strong source of support in critical situations. Individual strategies of nurses are highly effective in controlling stressful factors caused by job burnout. Strategies based on spirituality by targeting nursing actions can make it easier for nurses to bear problems, and strategies based on organization are also effective in reducing job burnout by motivating nurses. Coping strategies identified as effective strategies can be effective in the process of adapting nurses to the consequences of job burnout and improving the quality of their lives.

Objective: Crisis management researchers use the World Assumption Scale (WAS) to demonstrate changes in individuals' assumptions to predict mental health risks based on the Janoff-Bulman model. During the COVID-19 quarantine crisis, adopting preventive behaviors in society required understanding individuals' assumptions about the world, which initially necessitated an examination of the factorial structure of the Assumption World Scale. Therefore, the current research aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Assumption World Scale among Iranian students and to examine the relationship between beliefs in a just world, meaningfulness of the world, self-worth, and the adoption or non-adoption of preventive behaviors among students during the COVID-19 quarantine period. Method: Among the Mashhad Ferdowsi University and University of Isfahan, 452 students aged 18 and older (245 women) selected using convenience sampling and responded to the assumption world scale and the preventive behavior adoption questionnaire. The data analyzed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, exploratory factor analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. Results: The obtained reliability coefficients were satisfactory. The results of the exploratory factor analysis were relatively satisfactory and corresponded to the main model of the assumption world. Bartlett's test of sphericity with 496 degrees of freedom at the 0.001 significance level and the KMO test with a value of 0.84 indicated the adequacy of the data for factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis using principal component analysis with the assumption of eight factors (based on previous research) showed that all 32 questionnaire items obtained coefficients in the range of 0.53 to 0.85 in different factors, and eight factors had eigenvalues greater than one. Moreover, during the quarantine period, students' assumptions about the world significantly correlated with the adoption of preventive behaviors. Stepwise regression showed that non-randomness and the perception of controllability assumptions predicted adopting preventive behaviors. In the first step, when the randomness scale entered the regression equation, its correlation coefficient was 0.44, indicating that 33% of the variance in the adoption of preventive behaviors based on the belief in the non-randomness of world events was explained. In the second step, when randomness and perceived controllability entered the equation together, this percentage increased to 46%. Conclusion: Quarantine and its expansion increase negative effects on mental health. These findings of the COVID-19 quarantine are consistent with previous assumptions about the lack of change in measurement within a sample and suggest an operational solution, aiding in understanding students' assumption worlds in facing trauma and associated cognitive changes in research and practical domains.
