Objective: Important factors such as personality type, coping styles, and psychological capital have an effect on the resilience of women with breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to investigate the structural relationship of these factors with each other. Method: The subjects of this study included 231 women (20-55 years old) diagnosed with breast cancer who were treated in the breast cancer department of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran from 2022-2023. The formula proposed by Tebachnik and Fidel (2007) was used to estimate the sample size. Psychological resilience (Connor and Davidson, 2003), NEO-PI personality questionnaire (Costa and McCree, 1992), and Coping strategies questionnaire (Endler and Parker, 1990) were used to measure research variables.Results: The results of structural analysis showed that five personality factors directly explain 0.447 of changes in resilience. Based on the coefficients of 0.974 and 0.207, five indirect personality factors and coping strategies have a 0.21 effect on resilience, and based on the coefficients of 0.914 and 0.365, five indirect personality factors and Psychological capital have a 0.33 effect on resilience. Therefore, five personality factors can lead to an increase in resilience through coping strategies and psychological capital. In addition, the path coefficients about the two-way relationship of the variables showed that 44% of changes in resilience were influenced by personality, 97% of changes in coping strategies were influenced by personality, 91% of changes in psychological capital were influenced by personality, and 20% of changes in resilience were influenced by personality. The effect of coping strategies and 36% of resilience changes was influenced by psychological capital. Conclusion: One of the determining factors of resilience in a chronic disease such as breast cancer is the role of personality traits, which is influenced by positive psychological variables such as coping strategies and psychological capital of the patient

Objective: Spiritual therapy is recognized as an effective treatment for most psychological problems. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group spiritual therapy on resilience and coping styles of families of addicts quitting drugs.
Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and a control group design. The statistical population included all families of addicts who were quitting in a camp in Shahreza city. The statistical sample consisted of 30 families of these addicts who were selected through a purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups. The instruments used in this study were the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Moss and Billings Coping Styles Questionnaire. Spiritual group therapy was held in 11 sessions of 90 minutes for the experimental group. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the collected data via SPSS-21 software.
Results: The results showed that group spiritual therapy increased the resilience (p≤0.001) and problem-focused coping style (p≤0.001) of the subjects in the experimental group and decreased their emotion-focused coping style (p≤0.001).
Conclusion: The results indicated that spiritual group therapy could explain the high rate of change related to the resilience and coping styles of families of addicts under treatment.

Objective: Depressive mood along with boredom and unhappiness is one of the main consequences of addiction treatment and investigating the reduction strategies is of absolute and sheer necessity. The present research aims to investigate the effectiveness of the problem-solving training programs on the happiness and coping styles of individuals suffering from drug abuse.
Methods: In a semi-experimental study, the addicted individuals with a low rate of happiness (N=36) were selected through multi-cluster stratified random sampling and assigned to the experimental and control groups. Both groups were measured by Oxford Happiness Inventory and Coping Styles Questionnaire and the experimental group underwent problem-solving skills training.
Results: the results of covariance analysis indicated that the happiness level (Eta square= 0.24) and rational style (Eta square= 0.31) of the experimental group has increased and there is a between-group difference in the three stages of intervention at the significant level of 99%. Also, there was a positive significant relationship between rational coping style (0.57) and the increase in happiness in subjects. Increased rates of happiness and rational coping skills were observed in the experimental group.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the more the individual uses a rational coping style, the more their happiness is. Problem Solving Training led to increasing happiness and rational coping style for addicts of methamphetamine.
