Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral training on the body image of women with eating disorder symptoms.
Method: The research method was semi-experimental (pre-test-post-test design with an unequal control group). The statistical population of the research included all women with eating symptoms who were referred to nutritional clinics, psychotherapy centers, and fitness and aerobics clubs in Kashan City in 2021. Among them, 20 people were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two control and experimental groups. The measurement tool included the satisfaction with body image questionnaire (2002). The experimental group was exposed to 10 sessions of cognitive behavioral training, and during this time, the control group was placed on the waiting list. Multivariate and one-way analysis of covariance was used for data analysis by SPSS software version 22.
Results: The results showed a significant difference in the linear combination of body image scores of women with symptoms of eating disorders and food between groups.
Conclusion: According to the results, the body satisfaction scores of the experimental group increased in the post-test compared to the control group. Also, the scores of dissatisfaction with body image have decreased in this group. In conclusion, the change in scores indicates the positive effect of cognitive behavioral training.

Objective: Bodybuilding has attracted a lot of people in recent years, but despite the popularity of using unauthorized and steroid drugs, it has caused many problems for athletes. The purpose of the present study was therefore to compare mental toughness and sense of coherence in natural and steroid bodybuilders.Method: This study was a descriptive and causal-comparative study. The statistical population consisted of both natural and steroid bodybuilders in Rasht in 2019 from whom 120 individuals (60 natural bodybuilders and 60 steroid bodybuilders) were selected purposefully who answered the questionnaires of Sheard, Golby & Van Wersch’s (2009) Sports Mental Toughness and Antonovsky’s (1993) Sense of Coherence. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance by SPSS 24 software.Results: The findings of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the components of mental toughness and sense of coherence in the two groups (P<0.01). Natural bodybuilders had higher levels of Confidence (24.93, P<0.001), Constancy (15.60, P<0.006), Control (14.43, P<0.001), and sense of coherence (21.88, P<0.001) compared to steroid bodybuilders.Discussion: The results obtained from this research show that the abuse of steroid drugs has a significant impact on the psychological and physical aspects of bodybuilders. For this purpose, it is necessary to prevent possible injuries by providing proper information and providing psychological services to professional athletes.

Method: In this quasi-experimental study, a sample of 90 patients referring to orthodontic clinics in the city of Kermanshah were selected using the purposive sampling method, and then they were assessed before and 6 months and one year after undergoing orthodontics via the “The Symptom Checklist-90-R” (SCL-90-R), “Multidimensional Body–Self Relations Questionnaire” (MBSRQ), and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Data were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance.
Results: patients reported less obsessive compulsion, hostility, and paranoid ideation symptoms on (SCL-90-R) after six months and one-year treatment (P ˂ 0.05). In addition, the comparison of scores before and after treatment showed that there was a significant difference in appearance evaluation and body areas satisfaction dimensions of MBSRQ (P ˂ 0.05). Also, there were significant differences in physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and total score of OHIP-14 before and after treatment (P<0.05).
