Accordingly, the present study was performed to investigate the relationship between Job stress and coping strategies among intensive ward nurses in Gorgan. Methods: This was a correlational descriptive study done during year 2014. The instruments used in this study included a demographic questionnaire, Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) and the Folkman and Lazarus Coping Style Questionnaire. The research environment included critical care unites of Gorgan university hospitals. Sampling was carried out by the census sampling method. Overall, 74 nurses participated in the study.

For the analysis of data in terms of variables, descriptive statistic and deductive statistic (Pearson correlation, stepwise regression) were used. Results: The mean age of the participants was 33.39 ± 6.33 years. The most stressful condition was conflict with the supervisor (2.65 ± 0.59). The most commonly used strategies were self-control (5 ± 14.18). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the variables gender (21.57 = β, and P = 0.014) and working at the dialysis unit (27.08 = β and P < 0.001) were good predictors for occupational stress. Other variables such as coping strategies, age, education and marital status were not significantly related to job stress. Conclusions: According to the high level of some stress dimensions such as conflict with supervisor among nurses, and also the relationship between job stress and factors such as working at the dialysis ward and gender, it is necessary for nurse managers to apply some measures to prevent and reduce stress; these measures could include improving the work environment, education on coping methods, training and sufficient support of personnel.}, Keywords = {Job Stress, Coping Strategies, Intensive Care Units}, volume = {4}, Number = {3}, pages = {25-32}, publisher = { انجمن علمی پرستاری ایران}, doi = {10.21859/ijpn-04034}, url = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-840-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-840-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatric Nursing}, issn = {2345-2501}, eissn = {2345-2528}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Shayeghian, Zeinab and Amiri, Parisa and Hajati, Elnaz and Parvin, Mahmou}, title = {Alexithymia and Diabetes Control Indices in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes}, abstract ={Introduction: Alexithymia, as an inability to identify and describe feelings, has a significant relationship with blood glycemic control and quality of life in patient with type 2 diabetes.

The aim of the present research was to examine the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and resilience, and depression of infertile females. Methods: This research was a correlational study. The sample of the present study included three hundred infertile females referred to the infertility institution of Tabriz Jahad University, which were selected using the random sampling method. For collecting the data, Garnefski cognitive emotion regulation scale, Conner resilience questionnaire and Beck depression inventory were used. The data were analyzed with Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis and SPSS software version 22. The P value was considered significant at 0.05. Results: There was a positive relationship between depression of infertile females and self-blame, others-blame, preoccupation, catastrophizing, and putting into perspective, and there was a negative significant relationship with resilience, renewed positive concentration, renewed positive appraisal, acceptance and renewed concentration on scheduling. The results of multivariate correlation coefficient through the Enter method showed that variable resilience and cognitive emotion regulation had a role (R2 = 49.1%) in explaining depression in infertile females.

Regression results showed that marital status, type of admission and endoscopic history were predictive factors for patients' anxiety. Conclusions: Most patients have moderate to severe anxiety before endoscopy. Lack of knowledge of patients about endoscopy methods is a major cause of anxiety. Since severe anxiety can have an impact on correct performance of endoscopy as well as on patients' outcome, proper measures need to be taken to raise patients' awareness.}, Keywords = {Anxiety, Endoscopy, Knowledge}, volume = {4}, Number = {6}, pages = {22-29}, publisher = { انجمن علمی پرستاری ایران}, url = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-774-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-774-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatric Nursing}, issn = {2345-2501}, eissn = {2345-2528}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {Farmani-Shahreza, Shiva and Ghaedniay-jahromi, Ali and Mohammad-TaghiNasab, Maryam and Niknezhad, Majid and Darharaj, Mohammad and Sadeghi, Maryam and Karazmodeh, Roya and Farid, Malihe}, title = {Comparison of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies and Emotional Schemas in People with Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Normal People}, abstract ={Introduction: Being infected with HIV, followed by AIDS, is accompanied with a wide range of psychological factors such as emotional regulation and emotional schemas, in connection with which the compliance of patients with the disease is affected. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to compare the cognitive emotion regulation strategies and emotional schemas in people with HIV and normal people. Methods: The study was causal-comparative, cross-sectional. The inclusion criteria were selected and measured by cognitive excitement and emotion regulation (Garnefski et al., 2004) and emotional schemas (Leahy, 2002) tools. After data collection, data analysis by SPSS-16 program and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed. Results: Analyzing data using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) indicated that there were significant differences between the two groups in some subscales of cognitive emotion regulation (i.e. rumination (P = 0.001), putting into perspective (P = 0.003), and other-blame (P = 0.046) and emotional schemas (i.e. rumination (P = 0.001), emotional self-awareness (P = 0.001), uncontrollability (P = 0.0001), validation by others (P = 0.031), comprehensibility (P = 0.0001), blame (P = 0.0001), simplistic view of emotions (P = 0.049), higher values (P = 0.002), and acceptance of feelings (P = 0.0001). However, no significant difference was found between patients with HIV and normal controls in other subscales. Conclusions: Considering the current results, addressing psychological aspects associated with HIV infection and particularly helping patients to improve their emotion regulation strategies and maladaptive emotional schemas is of great importance.}, Keywords = {HIV, Emotion Regulation, Emotional Schemas}, volume = {4}, Number = {6}, pages = {30-40}, publisher = { انجمن علمی پرستاری ایران}, doi = {10.21859/ijpn-04066}, url = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-799-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-799-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatric Nursing}, issn = {2345-2501}, eissn = {2345-2528}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {Sanagoo, Akram and Yazdani, Shahram and Jouybari, Leila and Kalantari, Soheyl}, title = {Uncivil Behaviors in Nursing Workplace: A Qualitative Study}, abstract ={Introduction: Uncivil behaviors in workplace are threating and a leading risk for health of nurses and patients in clinical environments. Lack of job satisfaction and quitting are the main work-related outcomes of incivility. This study aimed to explain the concept of workplace incivility among nurses. Methods: In this research in 2014, using qualitative approach, 50 hospital nurses affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences were participated. The sampling method was purposeful with maximum variation. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews; they were stopped after data saturation and analyzed using conventional qualitative content analysis method. Results: Eighty percent of participants were female, with 3-20 years of work experience. The concept of incivility was characterized with "inferiority", "verbal/non-verbal aggression", "threating", "blaming", "ignoring", and "isolating” in terms of interaction with coworkers, superiors, physician, patients, patients’ attendants and cleaning staff. The participants experienced uncivility in a range of mild to severe and felt as it was very stressful; insulting from patients was perceived as less personal, so they could endure it better. The participants did not always know the best way to respond to uncivil behavior, how to deal with the agent of abusive behavior, or the mistreating behavior was not reported. Conclusions: The results showed that uncivil behaviors occur to varying degrees and in different aspects in the nurses’ workplace. The persistence of such behaviors and feelings as well as lack of supporting system could lead to frustration from profession and stress.}, Keywords = {Workplace, Incivility, Aggression, Nurses, Qualitative Research, Content Analysis, Iran}, volume = {4}, Number = {6}, pages = {41-49}, publisher = { انجمن علمی پرستاری ایران}, doi = {10.21859/ijpn-04067}, url = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-549-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-549-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatric Nursing}, issn = {2345-2501}, eissn = {2345-2528}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {nasiri, sara and Askarizadeh, Ghasem and Fazilatpoor, Masou}, title = {The Role of Cognitive Regulation Strategies of Emotion, Psychological Hardiness and Optimism in the Prediction of Death Anxiety of Women in their Third Trimester of Pregnancy}, abstract ={Introduction: Pregnancy is a natural event in women's lives, but requires a series of physiological adaptations and compliances. Quality adjustment to these changes may put women at risk for psychological problems. Considering the effective role of cognitive regulation strategies of emotion, psychological hardiness and optimism in coping of individual with different situations and stressful conditions, the present study aimed to investigate the role of cognitive regulation strategies of emotion, psychological hardiness and optimism in predicting death anxiety in women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: The present study was descriptive and correlational. The studied sample consisted of 220 pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy whom were selected by convenient sampling method from Shiraz city. Data were collected using Persian Short form Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Ahvaz Psychological Hardiness Scale, Life Orientation Test (LOT) and 15-items Templer Death Anxiety Scale. Data were subjected to analysis with descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson’s correlation coefficient and stepwise regression). Results: Mean and SD were 8.2 (2.7 for death anxiety, 54.95 (7.6 for cognitive emotion regulation, 46.68 (10.07 for psychological hardiness, and 16.05 (3.87 for optimism. Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that cognitive emotion regulation, psychological hardiness and optimism were correlated with death anxiety, whereby there was significant and positive correlation in catastrophizing, self-blame and focus on thought with death anxiety. In addition, there was a significant reverse correlation in positive reappraisal, refocus on planning, hardness and optimism with death anxiety. The relationships of other-blame, putting into perspective, positive refocusing and acceptance with death anxiety were not significant. Regression analysis showed that psychological hardiness (B = -0.06), optimism (B = -0.20) and catastrophizing (B = 0.35) were the significant predictors of death anxiety. Conclusions: Results showed that cognitive emotion regulation strategies, psychological hardiness and optimism can be appropriate strategies to reduce and control death anxiety among pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy.}, Keywords = {Cognitive Regulation of Emotion, Psychological Hardiness, Optimism, Death Anxiety}, volume = {4}, Number = {6}, pages = {50-58}, publisher = { انجمن علمی پرستاری ایران}, doi = {10.21859/ijpn-04068}, url = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-797-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpn.ir/article-1-797-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatric Nursing}, issn = {2345-2501}, eissn = {2345-2528}, year = {2017} } @article{ author = {Havassi, Nahid and Zahrakar, Kianoush and Mohsenzadeh, Farsh}, title = {A Study on the Efficacy of Gottman Marital Therapy as a Group Method in Reduction of Marital Burnout}, abstract ={Introduction: Burnout in couples is a gradual and rarely sudden process in which intimacy and love are gradually faded and general fatigue becomes evident.
