● Nearly all participants reported experiencing at least one type of unwanted intrusive thoughts.
● The highest and lowest prevalence of unwanted intrusive thoughts belonged the doubt category and the sexual and victim categories, respectively.
● Participants reported more intolerance of anxiety, uncertainty, and responsibility as thought reappraisals.
● Participants used more thought replacement, distraction, self-reassurance, and avoidance as thought control strategies
Plain Language Summary
Unwanted intrusive thoughts are found in clinical obsessive and nonclinical people. They are essentially similar in content but are different in their processing. In other words, intrusions are not problematic, rather the ways we react to, interpret, appraise, and or attempt to control them can cause distress. So, the present study investigated prevalence, appraisal, and control strategies of intrusions in the Iranian population. The International Intrusive Thoughts Interview Schedule (IITIS) was implemented in a sample of Iranian university students (n=50). Results showed nearly all participants reported experiencing at least one type of unwanted intrusive thoughts. The highest prevalence of Unwanted Intrusive Thoughts belonged to the doubt category, and the lowest prevalence of UITs was observed in the sexual and victim categories. Participants reported intolerance of anxiety, uncertainty, and responsibility more as a reason for noticing intrusions and they also were more likely to use thought replacement, distraction, self-reassurance, and avoidance for controlling intrusions. The results showed that unwanted intrusive thoughts, responses to these thoughts (thought reappraisals) and strategies to control them in Iranian- nonclinical population are almost similar to these in clinical OCD population. There were also some significant cross-cultural differences in prevalence, appraisal, and control strategies of unwanted intrusive thoughts.

● The calculated values showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was more effective than cognitive emotion regulation training.
● Mother’s mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be an effective intervention in reducing externalizing disorders and increasing self-efficacy in aggressive children.
● There are significant differences between aggressive children in two experimental groups.
Plain Language Summary
Aggression is a behavior that is threatening and possibly harmful. It may be expressed verbally (such as threatening) or physically (such as hitting, biting, or throwing objects at someone else). Research shows that parental mental disorder, especially mothers and dysfunctional parent-child relationships play a decisive role in the aggression of children. So interventions that targeting parents are effective ways to prevent this disorder. The present study was conducted on 60 aggressive children with their mothers in Namin City to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and cognitive emotion regulation training on externalizing problems and self-efficacy of aggressive children. As a result, mothers’ mindfulness-based cognitive therapy had more effectiveness in reducing externalizing disorders and increasing self-efficacy in aggressive children.

● There is a negative relationship between job stress and burnout with psychological capital.
● Psychological capital as a positive personal resource can play a significant role in fighting nurses’ job stress.
Plain Language Summary
Job burnout is the result of long-term job stress that is not recognized and addressed until it gets out of control. It involves mental, emotional, or physical exhaustion, frequently accompanied by an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. Nursing burnout is a widespread phenomenon characterized by a reduction in nurses’ energy that manifests itself in emotional exhaustion, lack of motivation, and feelings of frustration and may lead to reductions in work efficiency. Psychological capital is one of the components of positive psychology, which includes characteristics such as a person’s belief in his ability to succeed, perseverance in pursuing goals, a positive view of themselves, and resilience in fighting problems. Psychological capital enables nurses to have more resistance against stressful events, to be less stressed, to be more able to cope with problems, to have a more realistic view of themselves, and to be less affected by daily events. As a result, we can see the role and importance of psychological capital and individual attitudes in the development and prevention of burnout.Because the main task of nursing is human care, if nurses have the physical health and psychological capital, they can better manage the stress associated with their job and cope with their heavy and important duties.
