Objective: Family dynamics play a significant role in establishing emotional relationships among its members and fostering psychological well-being, which extends to individual and collective members' peace of mind. This study aimed to investigate the impact of parenting styles and sexual education styles of parents, with anxiety as a mediating variable, on the sexual performance of married women.Method: The study population consisted of married women who presented with sexual dysfunction at psychiatric and women's clinics in Tehran. Since the minimum number of samples in structural equation modeling is 200 individuals, 200 individuals were selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included Baumrind's Parenting Styles Scale (1972), Parental Sexual Education Styles Scale (2010), Beck Anxiety Scale (1990), and Rosen et al.'s Sexual Performance Scale (2000). Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data.Results: The findings of the present study showed that anxiety does not have a mediating effect on the effect of parents' strict sexual education style on the sexual performance of married women, but it has a complete mediating effect on the sexual performance of married women in the authoritative sexual education style of parents. Also, anxiety has a partial mediating effect on the effect of parents' authoritarian parenting style on married women's sexual performance; And it does not have a mediating effect on the effect of parents' authoritarian parenting style on married women's sexual performance (p > 0.05).Conclusion: The study concludes that the sexual performance of married women is significantly influenced by the styles of parenting and sexual education they received, with anxiety playing varied mediating roles. An authoritative approach to sexual education, coupled with parenting styles that manage to reduce anxiety, tends to enhance sexual performance in women

The statistical population of this study consists of women with breast cancer in Shiraz city with an average age of 51 to 56 years. In this research, a non-random and voluntary sampling method was used; Thus, 211 female patients with breast cancer who were treated by chemotherapy voluntarily were completed the relevant questionnaires, which include psychological well-being questionnaire (Ryff, 1989), chemotherapy-induced delayed nausea questionnaire (Rhodes & McDaniel, 1999) and coping style questionnaire (Parker & Endler, 1990). The data were analyzed by AMOS software.Results: Research findings showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between psychological well-being and avoidant coping style, and there was a positive and significant relationship between avoidant coping style and delayed nausea. The Sobel test confirmed the mediating role of avoidant coping style in the relationship between psychological well-being and delayed nausea. Therefore, it can be concluded that there was a relationship between psychological well-being and delayed nausea with the mediation of avoidant coping style. Also, psychological well-being had an indirect effect on delayed nausea.

Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of studying the role of sleep quality moderator in the relationship between depression and treatment compliance. Method: The research design was descriptive and correlational and the community included all patients with multiple sclerosis living in Tehran. 229 subjects with Multiple Sclerosis disease were selected in the accessible way and they were asked to answer Morinsky's treatment compliance, Petersburg sleep quality and Beck's depression questionnaires using pencil and paper method. Findings: Evidence of the predictive role of depressive symptoms for poor adherence to treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis was found. In addition, evidence of the predictive role of sleep quality in treatment adherence was found, but its mediating role in the relationship between depression and treatment adherence was not found. Conclusion: The findings indicated the importance of depression symptoms and sleep quality in the treatment compliance of multiple sclerosis patients. Considering the importance of treatment compliance in the prognosis of the disease, it is suggested that doctors take this issue into consideration to formulate treatment plans to target cognitive and emotional problems parallel to the main treatment of the disease and thereby increase treatment compliance.

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy on alexithymia and difficulty in emotion regulation in patients with pain disorder. The method of the present study was a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest design and control group and two-month follow-up. The statistical population of the study included all women who referred to Manoushan and Behsa counseling centers in Tehran with psychosomatic problems and pain. Sixty people from this population were selected and randomly divided into three groups (20 people in each group). Research instruments included the Toronto Emotional Dysfunction Scale (Bugby et al., 1994) and the Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gertz & Roemer, 2004). One group received 12 one-hour sessions of emotional focused therapy and another group received 10 one-hour sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy. But the control group did not receive any intervention during the study. In addition to descriptive statistics, mixed variance analysis and Ben Foroni post hoc test were used to analyze the research data. The results for alexithymia showed that the emotional focused therapy group had a significantly lower mean than the cognitive behavioral group (P= 0.02) and the control group (P= 0.001), and cognitive-behavioral group has a significantly higher mean compared to the control group (P = 0.001). Also, the results for the difficulty in emotion regulation showed that the emotional focused group and the cognitive behavioral group have significantly lower means compared to the control group (P = 0.001). The results of the present study, in addition to confirming the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy, indicated that emotion focused therapy is a more effective treatment for alexithymia. As a result, emotion-focused therapy can be considered as an effective treatment that can be used by health professionals to mend pain disorders.
