Objective: In this study,the intervention of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on resilience, rumination and dysfunctional attitudes in infertile couples is studied.Method: The research design was quasi -experimental with pre-test-post-test and one-month follow-up with experimental and control groups. Statistical population of the study consisted of infertile couples who referred to Ibn Sina Infertility Center in Tehran. 30 infertile couple aged 24-40 using purposive sampling in accordance with inclusion and exclusion criteria selected and randomly placed in two groups of 15 couples. Connor and Davidson (2003) Resilience Questionnaire, the Nalen and Huxma (1991) rumination and the Weissman and Beck (1978) dysfunctional attitudes were provided to both groups as research instruments.The control group stayed on the waiting list and the mindfulness training was performed for the experimental group during 8 weekly sessions (two sessions per week and 90 minutes per session,(Segal, Williams and Tizdale MBCT Protocol,2018)). The sessions were performed online and on the platform of Skyroom. The research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).Results: The results showed that MBCT treatment improved resilience and reduced rumination and dysfunctional attitudes in the experimental group and the post-test and follow-up phase (P<0/001).Conclusion: According to the results, employing this approach for infertile couples is helpful and it can be suggested for improving their psychological conditions.

Objective: This purpose of the current research 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 the nurses of medical sciences hospitals in Tabriz city in 2022. The research sample was 335 participants who were selected using stratified sampling. The research tools employed for this purpose were the shorter 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 and SPSS 26 were used for data analysis. Results: The results of the analysis showed that in the proposed model, the five main personality traits, with the exception of 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 and another finding of the current research 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.

Personality disorders can play a significant role in creating and perpetuating sexual function problems in women. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between personality patterns and types of female orgasms. The method of the present study was correlational and a sample of 400 women in Tehran was selected by convenience sampling. Tests used to collect data were Millon 3 questionnaires (MCMI-III); Women's Sexual Function Questionnaire (FSFI); Orgasm Scale Assessment (ORS). According to the results, the highest disorder was related to the satisfaction subscale and the lowest percentage of the research sample was in the orgasm subscale (25.9%) and in the subscales of desire, arousal, humidity, and pain, respectively, the percentage of the research sample was 31, 32, 26.3, and 31.4%. According to the results, the narcissism and negativity subscales had a significant relationship with the types of orgasm (P <0.05) and the other subscales had no significant relationship. According to the results of logistic regression, avoidance, sadism, and borderline subscales were able to predict the types of orgasms and the coefficients of other paths in the regression model did not have significant coefficients (P <0.05).

Objective: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic and complex disease that requires constant medical and psychological care. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance, commitment, and mindfulness therapy in improving blood sugar control and weight control in people with type 2 diabetes.Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a two-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all men with type 2 diabetes and overweight in Tehran in 2021. The research samples were 60 patients who were selected through the purposeful sampling method and randomly assigned into three equal groups including experimental group A (under acceptance and commitment therapy), experimental group B (under mindfulness therapy), and control group (without intervention). The data collection tool in this study was the HBA1C test to control blood sugar and BMI to control weight. Data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance.Results: The results showed a significant difference between the mean scores of blood sugar control and weight control in the acceptance and commitment therapy group and the control group (p < 0.001). Also, there was a significant difference between the blood sugar control and weight control scores of the mindfulness therapy group and the control group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: It is concluded that both interventions, especially acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce the psychological and physical problems of patients with type 2 diabetes.
