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: The purpose of this study was to provide a structural equation modeling for the effect of personality traits on bulimia nervosa with the mediating role of emotional intelligence in nurses.
Methods: This research was a descriptive-correlational study that employed structural equation modeling with partial least squares. The research population consisted of all nurses of medical sciences hospitals in Tabriz in 2022. The research sample was 335 people who were selected using stratified sampling. The research tools employed for this purpose were the shorter form of NEO-FFI (NEO Five-Factor Inventory; 1985), the Binge Eating Scale (BES; Gormally et al., 1982), and Schering's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (1996). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS 3 plus SPSS 26 were used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed that in the proposed model, the five main personality traits, except the extroversion variable, have a significant direct and indirect effect on bulimia nervosa, and another implication of this research is the significant direct effect of emotional intelligence on bulimia nervosa. Another finding was the significant direct effect of the main personality traits on emotional intelligence.
Conclusion: The results suggest that interventions for bulimia nervosa should embed education on personality traits and emotional intelligence because, according to the findings, the lower the personality traits, such as neuroticism and higher emotional intelligence, the lower the probability of bulimia nervosa.

Introduction: Whenever there is an outbreak of infectious diseases, psychosocial impact has been observed on individual and social levels globally. The psychological and social effects of the COVID-19 epidemic are potential and widespread, which affect people's mental health in the long term. The present study aimed to investigate the role of neuroticism in predicting psychological distress through perceived stress and loneliness in covid-19.Method: This research was carried out in the form of correlation and structural equations. The statistical population of the research was all the students of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, 300 of whom were selected through convenience sampling, and the neuroticism scale was from the short form of the Neo questionnaire, the Cohen et al.'s perceived stress questionnaire, the Kessler psychological distress questionnaire, and the loneliness scale. Social Emotional Assessment for Adults (SELSA-S) was administered to them. Then the obtained data were analyzed using Spss26 and Amos22 software.Results: The results showed that neuroticism is related to psychological distress through loneliness and perceived stress. Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between the components of loneliness, perceived stress, and neuroticism with stress, anxiety, and depression.Conclusion: Therefore, considering the increasing spread of psychological distress, it is necessary to reduce people's psychological distress by teaching self-care skills and stress management.
