This study aimed to investigate whether mentalization and self-compassion could protect parents from burnout among parents with disabled children and what is the prevalence of parental burnout among such parents. A total of 911 parents of children with special needs completed the Parental Burnout Inventory (PBI), Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (RFQ), and Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The frequency, Chi-square, and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) by R_v4.0.3 using the mgcv package were utilized to analyze data. Among parents with disabled children, 1.6% experienced severe burnout, while 26.8% experienced moderate burnout. In addition, mentalization and self-compassion were associated with parental burnout. Self-compassion and hyper-mentalizing were associated with less parental burnout, whereas hypo-mentalizing was associated with more burnou...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of having a post-traumatic stress disorder man on the quality of life, depression, stress, anxiety and structure of the family. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was done on the families referred to Shiraz Jannat Hospital in 2011-12. 100 families having PTSD man and 100 normal families were selected using achievable sampling method. Data collected by quality of life questionnaire, depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire, and agreeableness and family cohesion scale completed by man, their spouses and children over the 18 years old. Data analyzed by SPSS 18 and Independent-T test.

People have different psychological problems. In recent years, studies have emerged on this group of people. However, there is no tool that can assess the acceptance of plastic surgery. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Iranian version of the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 226 students were selected through convenience sampling among students of Hormozgan University during the academic year 2014–2015. In order achieve the aims of this study, the Iranian version of the ACSS was completed. The data was analyzed using internal consistency, composite, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: The reliability of the scale was obtained by calculating the internal consistency of Cronbach’s alpha as 0.94...

The sample included 106 girls who runaway and those who do not runaway from homes in Shiraz, Iran .Each participant family adaptation and cohesion scales (FACES III) and coping strategy inventory. Data were analyzed using T-test was used. The findings indicated that both cohesion and adaptability dimensions of family structure and Problem-focused strategy in runaway group significantly had lower than non-runaway. Our findings suggest that family of runaway need family therapy to decrease escape of their children. On the other hands, teaching coping skills to child help them to use correct strategy to solving their problem.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of emotional intelligence skills training on the social skills of orphaned and abandoned adolescents. Methods: The present study was an interventional research with a pretest-posttest design. The sample included 30 orphaned and abandoned male teen-agers, residing in a care center, who were randomly selected and divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group had four emotional intelligence-based training sessions. In this study, the Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters (MESSY) was used to evaluate the variables. The results were analyzed, using SPSS Statistics 22. Results: The results showed significant difference between the mean MESSY scores in the intervention group before and after the intervention ( p

Among various methods of evaluating the stressful environment of children, 54-item Children's Coping Strategies Checklist-Revision1 (CCSC-R1) has been developed as one of the most powerful tools for assessing different aspects of coping in children. The purpose of the present study is to find the psychometric properties of Persian CCSC-R1 and to identify the coping strategies used by Iranian children. Method: Subjects included 401 female students aged between 9 and 13 who were subjected to the Sarpol-e-Zahab earthquake (in Northeast of Iran). Construct and convergence validities were examined with confirmatory factor analysis and correlated with Children's Coping Behavior Questionnaire (CCBQ). Reliability was obtained by internal consistency. Using repeated analysis of variance, the status of coping strategies in children were achieved. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit to the four-factor structure, active coping, distracting action/distraction, avoidance, and support seeking strategies. The results also demonstrated that there was a strong relationship between four-factors of CCSC-R1 including their subscales and CCBQ. Internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha) for the four dimensions were in the range of 0.76 to 0.88. The findings also showed that Iranian children use active coping, especially optimism, more than other strategies in order to deal with their stressful situations. Conclusions: It is concluded that CCSC-R1 is a valid and reliable instrument which could be employed for Iranian children. Furthermore, in the face of traumatic events, Iranian children acted same as people in individualistic cultures.
