The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of positive parenting programs and distress tolerance skills on the psychological well-being of mothers with children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research design was a quasi-experimental and pretest-posttest one with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all mothers of children aged 7 to 11 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Tehran in 2021-2022. The sample size included 45 students who were selected from the statistical population by the available sampling method (n=15). For the first experimental group, a positive parenting training program was implemented and for the second experimental group, a distress tolerance training program was implemented while the control group did not receive any training. The research instrument included the Psychological Well-Being Scale (Reef, 1989). The results showed that both interventions had an effect on improving the psychological well-being of mothers with children with Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder. (P<0.001). Evidence shows that positive parenting programs and distress tolerance skills are effective in increasing mothers' psychological well-being and the difference between positive parenting groups and distress tolerance skills is not significant (P <0.05). Overall, it can be concluded that a positive parenting program and distress tolerance skills can lead to the improvement of the psychological well-being of mothers with children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

The research population included all mothers of students with mental disabilities in Golestan province, 30 of them were selected by a simple random sampling method and participated in a quasi-experimental design with a control group and a non-identical two-group design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Among the above sample, 15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group were randomly assigned. Then, a mindfulness-based intervention program was performed for 8 group sessions. To evaluate the research variables, Quality Of Life (World Health Organization, 1994), and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (Ryff, 1980) were used in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Data obtained from the control and experimental groups were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and repeated measures analysis of variance. The above findings showed significant quality of life and psychological well-being (at the level of p <0.05). The above results were maintained after two months of follow-up.

Thalassemia is on the rise and its scientific study is inevitable to better understand this non-communicable disease and to use the most effective therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in improving psychological well-being of thalassemia patients living in Kermanshah, Iran. A pretest-posttest design with a control group was used to conduct this applied quasi-experimental study. Using purposive sampling, 45 thalassemia patients were enrolled (N = 317), and randomly assigned to three 15-individual groups (two intervention groups and a control group). Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scale (1980) was used as the research tool. The validity and reliability of this tool were confirmed based on expert opinions and Cronbach’s alpha test (0.90), respectively. The data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANCOVA). The participants in the first and second intervention groups underwent ACT and CBT, respectively, while no intervention was made for those in the control group. Based on the results, ACT and CBT approaches significantly improved psychological well-being of the studied thalassemia patients (P < 0.05). In addition, higher levels of psychological well-being were observed in patients who underwent ACT compared to those in the CBT group (P < 0.05). The results showed that the ACT approach is more effective than the CBT approach in improving psychological well-being of thalassemia patients.

This research aimed to investigate the mediating role of the mother’s mindfulness and family resiliency on the relationship between child with autism spectrum disorder behavior problems and mother’s psychological well-being. Statistical populations of the study were mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder who were 3 to 16 years old in Tehran, Karaj and Qazvin cities. 170 mothers were selected through purposeful sampling. The research tools included Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (RSPWB-18), Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS). Path analysis showed that mother’s mindfulness and family resiliency played a mediating role in the relationship between child with autism spectrum disorder behavior problems and mother’s psychological well-being. So, it is suggested that psychotherapist not only pay enough attention to the problems of children with ASD but also consider their parent’s mental health, family circumstances and other available sources of support in the society for achieving a comprehensive view of the situation.
