Methods: A total of 40 individuals were selected through purposeful sampling method among the referring addicts to 2 addiction centers in eastern Tehran. Participants took the Ryff scale of psychological well-being (RSPWB) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Results: Results of multivariate and univariate variance analysis demonstrated that addicts with more than 6 months of abstinence have significant difference in psychological well-being and quality of life (P&le0.01) compare to addicts with less than 6 months abstinence period. There was also a significant relationship between sleep and its dimensions (P&le0.01). Conclusion: Addicts with abstinence period of more than 6 months have higher psychological well-being and better sleep quality than addicts with abstinence period of less than 6 months.}, Keywords = {Addiction, Psychological well-Being, Quality of sleep}, volume = {1}, Number = {2}, pages = {71-75}, publisher = {University of Social Welfare & Rehabilitation}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, url = {http://jpcp.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-39-en.html}, eprint = {http://jpcp.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-39-en.pdf}, journal = {Practice in Clinical Psychology}, issn = {2423-5822}, eissn = {2423-5822}, year = {2013} } @article{ author = {Aghayousefi, Alireza and Seifi, Mohammad Yasi}, title = {Group Quality of Life Therapy in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis}, abstract ={Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has several physical, psychological, and psychiatric symptoms. Regarding the psychological impact of MS on aspects of life, this study sought to examine the effect of group quality of life therapy on depression and anxiety in these patients. Methods: Two groups of 15 matched patients with MS were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups after completing the Cattell anxiety scale and Beck depression questionnaire (short form). Then, the quality of life group therapy was carried out on the experimental group. At the end, both groups participated in the posttest assessments. Results: Analysis of covariance showed that the implemented intervention helped reduce the anxiety and depression in patients with MS (F=4.46, P=0.04 F=41.4, P=0.001, respectively).

Transgender patients in experimental group received a four– session intervention conducted one session per week individually, but control group received no intervention.

This research aimed to determine the components of intimacy attitude in university students. Methods: Based on revised intimacy attitude scale (IAS-R) which was originally developed by Amidon et al. (1983), intimacy attitude components are general intimacy, fear of rejection, loss of control in interpersonal intimacy, and sexual physical closeness. In the present study, 521 university students were evaluated to study the psychometric properties and validation of IAS-R. Results: The Cronbach ;alpha was 0.84 and test-retest correlation was 0.83. Results of factor analysis supported the 4 specific structure components with different subscales. Multivariate analysis of variance corroborated that intimacy attitude is similar in different sexes and ages but varies regarding the above 4 components.
