The aim of this study was to determine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between mindfulness and creative self-efficacy of teachers in exceptional schools in Yazd in the academic year 2020-2021. The present study is a correlational study in which the relationships between research variables were analyzed in the form of examining the paths of a causal model. The study population was all teachers of exceptional schools in Yazd. The available sampling method was used to select 200 teachers from the population. The research instruments are Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (CD-RISC), Langer Mindfulness Questionnaire for teachers, and Creative Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ). The results showed that the psychological resilience hypothesis has a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and creative self-efficacy of teachers in exceptional schools in Yazd city. Mindfulness also, directly and indirectly, predicts creative self-efficacy in exceptional school teachers through its mediating role. Mindfulness also directly predicts resilience in exceptional school teachers, and resilience directly predicts creative self-efficacy in exceptional school teachers. It can be concluded that psychological resilience has a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and creative self-efficacy of teachers in exceptional schools in Yazd.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between communication skills with cognitive abilities, problem-solving, and psychological well-being and the mediating role of mindfulness in these relationships as a model for mothers of students with autism spectrum disorders. Method: For this purpose, applied research of descriptive-correlation type with structural equation design was conducted. The study population consisted of 571 mothers whose children with autism spectrum disorders were studying in special schools for autism (11 schools) and schools for autism spectrum disorders (5 schools) in Tehran and were responsible for the birth and maintenance of their children. Among the above schools, 7 schools were selected by random cluster sampling method and the mothers of all students with autism spectrum disorders in these schools, whose number was 230, were considered as a sample group and were given the Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire of Nejati (1392), problem-solving style of Cassidy & Lang (1996), psychological wellbeing of Ryff (1989), communication skills of Queen Dam (2004), and mindfulness of Brown & Ryan (2003). Results: The results of data analysis using the structural equation statistical method showed that the research model has a good fit. In addition, communication skills, both directly and indirectly through mindfulness, have a positive and significant relationship with the cognitive abilities, problem-solving, and psychological wellbeing of mothers of students with autism spectrum disorders (P <0.05).

Abstract Mothers of children with Down syndrome have difficult parenting experiences and are exposed to high levels of stress and psychological and physical consequences. These mothers' special education programs can help them to cope better with difficulties. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction program on the psychological and physical well-being of mothers of children with Down syndrome. This study was conducted with a quantitative approach and a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all mothers of students with Down Syndrome in Mashhad exceptional schools in the academic year of 2018-2019 who were selected by single stage cluster sampling. Thirty mothers of these children who scored higher than 22 on the General Health Questionnaire were selected and randomly assigned into two groups of mindfulness training and control group. Mothers in the experimental group received 8 two-hour sessions of mindfulness training program and the control group did not receive any training. The research instruments were life satisfaction scales, positive and negative affect, depression-happiness and physical symptoms. The results of covariance analysis showed that mindfulness-based stress reduction therapy significantly increased physical and psychological well-being of mothers of children with Down syndrome (p < 0/05). Therefore, this program is a good intervention program for mothers of Down syndrome children and can be used in medical centers and special schools for these children

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) on the self-efficacy and frustration tolerance in parents of physical-motor disabled children. The research had a quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test, and a follow-up for experimental and control groups. The statistical population consisted of parents of physical-motor disabled children with records in the Welfare Organization of Pol-e Dokhtar County in 2017. Samples were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly put into two 16-subject groups namely the experimental and control groups. Training the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program (MBSR) was presented to the experimental group in 8 two-hour sessions per week, but the control group did not receive any training. Both groups were assessed by Dumka's Parenting Self Efficacy Measure (PSAM) and Harrington's Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS) a week before the first session, a week after the last session, and 30 days later. The results of repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (RM-MANOVA) indicated that the training program had an effect on the improvement of parenting self-efficacy and frustration tolerance; and the experimental group had a mean higher than the control group at the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.0001). Findings of the present study provided a clear perspective on the use of new mindfulness treatment in reducing psychological problems and presented a desirable basis for implementing this training program and method in the prevention and investigation of interpersonal problems.

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.
