Background: Today, psychologists have come to the conclusion that treatment without considering spirituality will not be effective. But it should be noted that for people who have understood religion and its position, acquiring spirituality is achieved more reliably through religion. Divine religions, especially Islam, provide practical recommendations for human connection with the infinite being in every way. Man's relationship with God is at the peak of spirituality and in this way, spiritual experiences and indescribable pleasures are obtained. The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of self-determination skills training and Islamic quality of life training on perceived social support and psychological well-being of primary caregivers of chronic mental patients in Borujen city. Material & Method: This research was an applied research and in terms of method, it was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up plan and a control group. The statistical population included all the main caregivers of chronic mental patients in Borujen city, under the supervision of welfare and rehabilitation centers of Borujen city, whose number is 550 people. In this research, 60 primary caregivers of chronic mental patients were selected using available sampling method and then randomly assigned to two experimental groups (self-determination skills training and Islamic quality of life training) and a control group. In order to carry out the research in the first stage, the necessary coordination was made with the General Welfare Department of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province. The necessary permission to implement the program, i.e. the self-determination skills training program and the Islamic quality training program and the implementation of two questionnaires including perceived social support and psychological well-being, was received; Then, in the pre-test phase, questionnaires of perceived social support and psychological well-being were administered to all three groups, then in a three-month intervention for 19 90-minute sessions of an experimental group, a training package of self-determination skills (Field & Hoffman, 2012) and training Islamic quality of life (Seifi et al., 2015), and after the interventions, the participants of all three groups answered questionnaires of perceived social support and psychological well-being (post-test). Finally, after two months, the aforementioned questionnaires were collected from the research participants. mResearch tools included multidimensional scale of perceived social support and Psychological Well-Being Scales. Data analysis was done with the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements using SPSS-22 software. Results: The results showed that the effectiveness of self-determination skills training and Islamic quality of life group training on increasing perceived social support was significant (P<0.05) and the effect size was 0.66, respectively, and the effectiveness of Islamic quality of life group training was more than training was self-determination skills. Also, the effectiveness of self-determination skills training and Islamic quality training on increasing psychological well-being was significant (P<0.05) and the effect size was 0.12, respectively, and the effectiveness of Islamic life quality training was more than self-determination skills training. Conclusion: The group method of teaching self-determination skills and the quality of Islamic life have a significant effect on the level of perceived social support and psychological well-being. Teaching self-determination skills and Islamic quality of life increased perceived social support and psychological well-being of caregivers of chronic neurological and mental patients. Also, the effectiveness of Islamic quality of life training on perceived social support and psychological well-being has been higher than the effectiveness of self-determination skills training.

IntroductionThe coronavirus has become a serious threat to public health and well-being. The spread of the virus, especially among children and teenagers, has caused great concern and anxiety. Given the pandemic's impact on important social, economic, and political aspects, it is crucial to explore the psychological effects of the disease on individuals at different levels of society. For instance, the psychological well-being of teenagers is of utmost importance, and factors such as moral identity, tolerance of disturbance, and resilience are believed to play a significant role. This study aims to examine the relationship between psychological well-being, moral identity, tolerance of disturbance, and resilience in female high school students. MethodThis study utilized a structural equation correlation design and included all female high school students in Ahvaz during the academic year 1401-1400. A total of 253 participants were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. District 1 of Ahvaz was randomly chosen, and five secondary schools were randomly selected from this district. After coordinating with school principals and teachers, students were asked to respond to questionnaires through WhatsApp and student groups. The Psychological well-being of Ryffs (2002), Moral identity of Aquino & Reed (2002), Distress Tolerance of Simmons & Gahr (2005), and Resilience of Connor & Davidson (2003) were used to collect data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data, including Pearson correlation coefficient, structural equation modeling, and Cronbach's alpha method to calculate the reliability coefficients. ResultsThe study found that all direct paths, except for the relationship between moral identity and psychological well-being, were significant (p > 0.05). There was also an indirect relationship between moral identity and psychological well-being through resilience, as well as between distress tolerance and psychological well-being through resilience. DiscussionThe study's findings can help improve the psychological well-being of students. The coronavirus pandemic has become a global health emergency, causing psychosocial stress, job closures, and increased mortality rates. These factors can reduce psychological well-being, but individuals with high resilience can maintain their mental health during these challenging times. Therefore, improving the psychological well-being of individuals should be a priority. It is suggested that educational workshops be held to help individuals control their behavior, improve their psychological tolerance, and enhance their psychological well-being..

Introduction
One of the most important stages in human development is adolescence; the period when a person goes through childhood and encounters new plans and responsibilities in the family and society. One of the most critical adolescent issues is adolescents' mental health and well-being. Various research studies have shown that psychological well-being is necessary for many successes and advances of individuals. It should be noted that many factors can increase or decrease psychological well-being; knowing them can be used to help adolescents improve psychological well-being. Various studies have shown that social support is one of the variables that play an important role in well-being. Gratitude is one of the factors that can probably act as a mediator in the impact of social support on people's well-being. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of social support in the well-being of high school students in Ashkezar with the mediating role of gratitude.
Method
This study was a correlational one (structural equation modeling). The population of this study included all male and female high school students in Ashkezar in the academic year of 2020-2021. A sample of 274 students was selected from the study population by convenient sampling. The research data were collected through Zimment et al.'s Social Support Questionnaire, Morgan et al.'s Gratitude Questionnaire, and Reef's Psychological Well-Being Scale. Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling using Amos-24 software. A bootstrap test was also used to check the indirect effects and mediating roles. Finally, various fitness indices were applied to check the consistency between the data and the conceptual framework.
Results
Regarding direct effects, the results showed that social support has a positive and significant effect on gratitude (β = 0.73) and psychological well-being (β = 0.63). The results also showed that gratitude positively and significantly affects psychological well-being (β = 0.42). The results of the bootstrap test also showed that in the relationship between social support and psychological well-being, the variable of gratitude could play a mediating role. Finally, the results showed that the proposed model has good fitness.
Conclusion
In sum, according to the research findings, it can be concluded that families and community officials can provide the environment to improve adolescents' mental health by delivering appropriate supportive environments. Also, proper conditions can promote adolescents' psychological well-being by teaching gratitude to adolescents. The results have been discussed in more detail using theoretical bases in the paper.

IntroductionDue to the emergence of Covid 19 disease and according to the stable psychological reactions caused by the outbreak of this virus and the importance of anxiety and fear of this virus on the psychological well-being of students, The study aimed to investigate the relationship between fear of Covid 19 and psychological well-being by mediating the role of psychological Hardiness and social support in undergraduate students. The virus challenged the quality of life of people around the world and changed interpersonal issues and self-acceptance questions, the meaning of life, and relationships with others. The disease is prevalent in Iran, as in other countries, and has rapidly endangered the physical and mental health of people, as the prevalence of this disease has raised concerns about the possibility of death from viral infections and has led to psychological stress. Research shows that people with coronavirus anxiety suffer from a wide range of psychological problems, and having the infection is a psychological risk factor, to the point that, among people in the United States, China, and more recently India, people suffer from anxiety. The disease led to suicide. Since to reduce the fear of Quid 19, one must first identify the effective factors and identify the share of each of them and use them, the present study seeks to answer the question of whether reducing the fear of Quid 19 increases welfare psychologically affected? Also, can Psychological well-being and social support play a mediating role in these two variables? As a result, the present study was conducted to investigate this model in students.MethodThis study was a descriptive correlational study. The study's statistical population was all undergraduate students studying at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz from 1300 to 1400, from which 360 students were selected by a multi-stage sampling method. In this study, tools of fear of Covid 19, a short psychological well-being questionnaire, psychological hardiness of Ahvaz University, and social support were used to collect data. Findings confirmed the suitability of reliability and validity of the instruments. The direct relationships of the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 23 and AMOS 23 software and the indirect and mediated relationships were analyzed using Bootstrap. ResultsThe results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between fear of Covid and psychological Hardiness, social sup, port and psychological well-being (p˂0.01). The results also showed that psychological Hardiness and social support play a mediating role. DiscussionConsidering the inverse relationship between fear of Covid 19 and social support and psychological hardiness, it seems that the existence of supportive measures by family and others during the coronavirus epidemic is necessary. It is also possible to reduce the fear of Covid and increase the psychological well-being of individuals by increasing the characterstic of psychological hardiness. It is suggested that other variables that can be effective as a shield against severe stress should also be considered.

IntroductionCapabilities that can be formed from experiences, lessons learned, and training can affect the perception of one's own and others' feelings and relationships in the workplace. These capabilities are known as mindfulness. But these abilities, or mindfulness, can affect the wisdom of individuals, which is directly the result of their behavior and actions. Therefore the importance of psychological well-being will lead to more dynamism and activity. Then, it can be said that psychological well-being can affect the wisdom of employees and thus the present study has been conducted to structurally investigate the mediating role of psychological well-being on the relationship between mindfulness and wisdom in health advocates fighting the coronavirus crisis. MethodThe research is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population is all health defenders in Bam, Jiroft, and Kerman, and the statistical population includes nurses between 27 and 45 years old with more than 8 years of experience and active in the coronavirus inpatient department. The research sampling method is a census of community members. Data were collected using the Kentucky Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Reef Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire, and the Ardelt Wisdom Scale (D-WS3). The questionnaires were distributed and collected among 130 individuals. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach in Smart PLS software version 3. In this approach, using PLS test, algorithm, and bootstrapping test, by measuring reliability and validity, path coefficient, significance coefficient and t-statistic, the relationships and effects of variables have been determined. ResultsThe internal reliability of the research was assessed using the classical Cronbach's alpha coefficient and two new composite reliability coefficients and the rho-A coefficient. The standard value approved in these coefficients is 0.7. The EVA coefficient was used to measure the convergent validity with a value higher than 0.5 and the Fornell-Larker matrix was used to measure the divergent validity. According to the results, welfare (β = 0.35, P = 0.04) and mindfulness (β= 0.22, P= 0.02) are directly related to wisdom and psychological well-being (β = 0.27, P= 0.04) mediates the relationship between mind. Awareness and wisdom have a direct impact. Thus, the results at the level of t-statistic of 1.96, and significance (P≤0.05), confirmed the relationships of the hypotheses. DiscussionFinally, strengthening the minds of health advocates by using psychological well-being improves their wisdom; Therefore, due to the prevalence of mental disorders during the epidemic of emerging diseases without definitive treatment such as Covid-19, psychological interventions such as mindfulness program training cause conscious behaviors and wise responses of health defenders to such a challenge.

IntroductionBreast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death in women with many physical and psychological complications. The increasing growth of cancer in the last few decades and its harmful effects on all dimensions of the patient's life (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and economic) have caused attention of specialists to be more focused on this disease. Among the different types of cancer that women suffer from, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment and the stress reduction program based on mindfulness on the attitude of work, health anxiety, psychological well-being, and body image in women with breast cancer who underwent a mastectomy in Shiraz city who visited Amir Hospital in 2022. MethodThe subjects included a sample of 45 people who were randomly divided into two experimental groups and a control group (three groups of 15 people) who had the criteria for entering the research, age, education, and mastectomy surgery, and the data were collected in two stages: pre-test, post-test with the control group and follow-up. And it was recorded that the research data were used using the multivariate covariance method and post hoc tests of Sheffe and Benferoni to test the hypotheses and the data were analyzed using spss (18) software. The research tools included Weissman &, Beck's inefficient Attitudes Questionnaire (1978) attitude questionnaire, Rief's psychological well-being (1989), Salkoskis and Warwick's (2000) health anxiety questionnaire, and Kesh's body image, Mykola Braun (1990). ResultsThe results of this research showed that the therapy based on acceptance and commitment is more effective than the stress reduction program based on mindfulness because the underlying principles of the therapy based on acceptance and commitment are aimed at increasing psychological flexibility. The pairwise comparison made regarding the well-being variable in Table (4-6) shows that both treatments (ACT and MBSR) have a statistically significant effect on this variable (P<0.05). The results showed that the treatment of acceptance and commitment was more effective. Regarding the effectiveness of the treatment based on acceptance and commitment in comparison with the stress reduction program based on mindfulness in the attitude of work, health anxiety, psychological well-being, and body image in women with cancer. The mastectomy breast of Shiraz can be because the underlying principles of treatment are based on acceptance and commitment to increasing psychological flexibility. DiscussionAcceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on reducing experiential avoidance and cognitive entanglement with dysfunctional rules until it reconnects with meaningful values. Mediation analysis of the believability of negative thoughts has been identified as a partially mediating factor in the ability to predict awareness attention, experiential avoidance, and cognitive fusion in psychological distress. With stronger negative thoughts, believability was positively associated with higher levels of psychological distress.
