Methods: The descriptive research method was correlation type. The statistical population included couples who were referred to police counselling centres in Tehran in 2019, and 300 people were selected as a statistical sample using the available (voluntary) sampling method. The members of the statistical sample responded to Edwards et al.'s marital stability instability scale (1987), coping styles questionnaire by Lazarus and Folkman (1985) and Connor and Davidson resilience questionnaire (2003). Results: The findings showed that coping styles directly predict the instability of marital life in conflicted couples, and resilience had a significant mediating role in the relationship between emotion-oriented and problem-oriented coping styles and marital instability. In addition, the results showed resilience had a significant mediating role in the relationship between secure attachment style, insecure-avoidant attachment style and marital instability (P < 0.01). However, resilience did not have a significant mediating role in the relationship between bisexual attachment style and marital instability (P > 0.01).

The statistical population was all the female students of Javad Al-A'meh High School in Baharestan 2, who were studying in the academic year of 2020-21. The research sample consisted of 30 students who were selected by convenience sampling based on the research criteria and were randomly assigned to two experimental(n=15) and control(n=15) groups. The experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of learning helplessness overcoming intervention (adapted from Shakoor Sefat-Sadighi and Sharifi-Daramdi's package,2020) and the control group remained on the waiting list. The measurement tools were the general self-efficacy questionnaire of Sherer et al. (1982) and the academic procrastination questionnaire of Solomon and Roth Bloom (1984). Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that learning to overcome learned helplessness has a significant effect on reducing academic procrastination and its components (P>0.05; F=27/98) and increasing students' self-efficacy (P >0.05; F=28/76). Conclusion: The findings of this study show the effectiveness of learned helplessness training on academic procrastination and self-efficacy. Therefore, it is suggested that psychologists and therapists use this method to improve self-efficacy and reduce academic procrastination.

Background and Aim: obsessive-compulsive disorder is a debilitating anxiety disorder whose main feature is the occurrence of obsessions and compulsive actions. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the schema therapy package based on psycho-social issues of obsessive-compulsive patients with cognitive-behavioral therapy on early maladaptive schemas and anxiety in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Methods: This article was a semi-experimental method, pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a 45-day follow-up period. The research population in this study included all patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder who referred to two psychotherapy clinics in Isfahan city. For the study, 45 people were randomly selected into two groups of schema therapy based on psychosocial issues (based on Yang, Kliusko and Wishar, 2003), cognitive-behavioral therapy (Struch et al., 2007) and a control group (each group). 15 people) were placed. Before and after the intervention and 45 days later (follow-up stage), the subjects responded to the short-form Young’s schema questionnaire (Young, 1994) and the anxiety questionnaire (Beck, 1989). The data was analyzed using the method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Spss.22 software. Results: The results of the study showed that there is a significant difference in the mean of early maladaptive schemas and anxiety in two experimental groups (schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy) and evidence. In addition, based on the results of schema therapy compared to cognitive-behavioral therapy, in the reduction of early maladaptive schemas (F=33.06; P<0.001) and anxiety (F=11.26; P<0.001) Patients were more effective. Conclusion: Compared to cognitive-behavioral therapy, schema therapy treatment based on psycho-social issues can play an effective role in reducing the early maladaptive schemas and anxiety of these patients.

Background and Aim: Developmental psychology points of view suggest that the period of adolescence and young adulthood is important for the integrity of human personality and development and is one of the most critical periods. Therefore, young people need to promote themselves in this era and raise their position in the social system, and achieving identity is an answer to their need to separate and distinguish themselves from others. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of presenting a structural model of resilience prediction based on identity styles with the mediation of adaptive motivational structure in students. Methods: The present research is a correlational cross-sectional study. The statistical population of this research was made up of all the students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran in 2019; fromamong them, 400 people were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method. In this research, tools of resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003), identity styles (Brzezunsky, 1999), and motivational structure (Cox & Klinger, 1995) were used, all of which had acceptable validity and reliability. In order to analyze the data, SPSS-V23 and Lisrel-V8.8 software were used; Also, in order to respond to the research hypotheses, structural equation modeling was used. Results: The research results showed that the model has a good fit. Also, the results showed that identity styles have an indirect effect on resilience with the mediating role of adaptive motivational structure. In general, it can be concluded that some personality traits such as tolerance, forgiveness, adaptability, hard work, curiosity, and decisiveness in relationships can help people to experience higher levels of identity styles, resilience, and motivational structure. Conclusion: Therefore, the findings of this research have been discussed theoretically and practically in the light of the existing research process, and suggestions have been presented in both theoretical and practical areas.

Background: When treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS), women with early-stage endometrial cancer recover more quickly from surgery than when they have open operations; nevertheless, there is no discernible difference in terms of overall survival or progression-free survival.
Aims : This systematic review is to review the comparison of open surgery and minimally invasive in high risk endometrial cancer
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SCIENCE DIRECT, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 144 articles, whereas the results of our search on SCIENCE DIRECT brought up 588 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 121 articles for PubMed and 175 articles for SCIENCE DIRECT. In the end, we compiled a total of 5 papers, 4 of which came from PubMed and 1 of which came from SCIENCE DIRECT. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: In summary, this systematic review of observational studies showed that the prognosis of endometrial cancer patients with high risk histology was unaffected by minimally invasive surgery and might confirm the findings of this rare but lethal malignancy.
