Therefore, the two concepts of prosperity and resiliency in people with MS are of great importance. Personality significantly deals with happiness and perseverance as most psychological responses, and the assessment of individuals about different situations depends on personality. The current study aimed at comparing the Myers-Briggs personality dimensions, happiness, and resilience in patients with MS. Methods: The current scientific-comparative study was conducted on a statistical population including all patients enrolled in the MS Society of Ghowchan City, Khorasan Province, Iran from 2016 to 2017. The sample size was 66 subjects calculated using Morgan table. The subjects were selected by simple random sampling method. Data were collected using the Myers-Briggs personality type, happiness, and the Conner Davidson resiliency questionnaires. The results were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in a step-by-step manner. Results: One-way ANONA showed a significant difference between sensing-intuitive and judging-perceiver dimensions in terms of feeling of happiness (P < 0.05). But, the difference between introverted-extravert and thinking-feeling dimensions in terms of feeling of happiness was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The difference between thinking-feeling dimensions in terms of resilience was statistically significant (P < 0.05), although the difference between the dimensions introverted-extravert, sensing-Intuitive, and judging-perceiver was not statistically significant in terms of resilience (P > 0.05). Conclusions: According to the findings of the current research, there is a significant relationship between some aspects of personality and the level of happiness and resilience in patients with MS. Therefore, it is recommended to develop educational programs for such patients in order to improve their resilience and happiness based on Myers-Briggs personality dimensions questionnaire to recognize patients’ personality traits and preferences.}, Keywords = {Personality Dimensions, Happiness, Resilience, Multiple Sclerosis}, volume = {13}, Number = {2}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {Iranian Nursing Scientific Association}, url = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-1952-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijnr.ir/article-1-1952-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Nursing Research}, issn = {1735-7012}, eissn = {1735-9074}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {bavazin, fatemeh and Vieskarami, Hasanali}, title = {The Effect of Relaxation Techniques on the Reduction of Stress, Sexual Anxiety, Communication Concerns, and Social Concerns in Females with Infertility}, abstract ={Introduction: Infertility is a great crisis and main reason for psychological complications such as stress, which causes depression, loss of libido, and reduced social activities, and disappointment in the married couples.

On the other hand, one of the most important challenges of nursing management for promotion of quality of nursing services is to improve nurses’ occupational quality of life. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of promoting nurses' clinical competency on the occupational quality of life in pediatric nurses. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental, before, and after study that was done on 62 pediatric nurses at selected Hospital of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. First nurses' clinical competency and occupational quality of life was measured. For evaluation of nurses' clinical competency, a check list was used. Sixteen skills were evaluated to assess the clinical competency of nurses. Thus, nurses were observed 3 to 5 times. Occupational quality of life was evaluated by the questionnaire. Then, in five meetings that lasted two hours, the process of educating about child and family was trained to the nurses. After 3 months, nurses' clinical competency and occupational quality of life were evaluated. Data were analyzed by the SPSS 21, using descriptive statistics and paired t-test at significance level of P = 0.05. Results: Before the intervention, level of clinical competency of all nurses was at a medium and low level. After the intervention, clinical competency of 93.5% of the nurses was promoted from the low level to the medium level. There was a significant difference between mean clinical competency before and after the intervention. Before the intervention, the majority of nurses (66.1%) had medium occupational quality of life. After the intervention, occupational quality of life of most nurses (75.8%) was reported as medium. There was a significant difference between the mean occupational quality of life before and after the intervention. Conclusions: Promoting clinical competency, even in a scope, improves occupational quality of life.

Rejection of disease, sensitivity to glycemic fluctuations and physical symptoms, nutrition restrictions, and the amount of activity are stimulating factors of psychological problems in patients with diabetes. Low levels of emotional health lead the patient to other undesired results, such as distress, self-regulation problems, adverse metabolic control, and increased rate of mortality. On the other hand, stress reduction treatment based on mindfulness is a technique, which is used in mind-body medicine in order to reduce mental and physical disorders in patients with chronic diseases. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of stress reduction treatment based on mindfulness on distress problems and self-regulation in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This paper was an experimental study based on control and treatment groups with pre-test and post-test. Overall, 34 male and female patients with type 2 diabetes and at least high school education, from Molasadra clinic of Isfahan, were selected and placed randomly in two groups of control and treatment (17 patients in the treatment group and 17 patients in the control group). Pre-test stage was done for both groups by Distress Tolerance (DTS) and Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ). The treatment group received 8 sessions of 2 hours (once a week) of mindfulness-based stress reduction intervention. Afterwards, the post-test was done for both groups. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 and Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA).
