Background: Nurses’ perceived organizational justice is one of the factors influencing their social responsibility and conscientiousness. Social responsibility and conscience are major requirements for providing high-quality and standardized care. Objective: The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship of perceived organizational justice with work consciousness and the social responsibility of the nurses. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was performed on 380 nurses who had at least 1 year of job experience and willingness to participate in the study. The study was conducted in Zanjan province, Iran, in 2018. The study subjects were selected via stratified random sampling. The data were collected using an organizational justice scale, corporate social responsibility scale, and consciousness scale. Questionnaires were completed through self-reporting. The data were analyzed using partial correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Ethical considerations: Research ethics approval (with the code of IR.ZUMS.REC.1397.47) was obtained from Zanjan University of Medical Sciences. Results: The results indicated that nurses felt injustice in all dimensions of organizational justice (2.66 ± .753). They feel the most sense of injustice in distributive justice (2.19 ± .798). In three dimensions, except the ethic dimension, the social responsibility was in a desirable range (2.79 ± .703). In two dimensions, work consciousness was in a desirable range. The results showed a significant and positive relationship between all dimensions of social responsibility and all dimensions of organizational justice (r = .072). However, no statistically significant relationship was observed between the dimensions of organizational justice and conscience (r = –.002). Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, social responsibility and the work consciousness of the nurses are affected by organizational justice. Therefore, nursing managers are suggested to change their management styles to reduce the sense of organizational injustice in nurses and have long-term productivity.
Background and Aim:The role of emotion regulation in mental illness and learning and functional abilities of adolescent students has been confirmed today and is an important basis for the emergence of emotional and behavioral disorders during adolescence. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mindfulnessbased group therapy (MBGT) on cognitive emotion regulation (CER) in female adolescents. . Methods: The study had a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The statistical population included all high school students in Saveh city (Markazi province) in the academic year 2016-2017, from which 30 people (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) were selected by cluster sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The study tool was the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) developed by Granefski et al. (2001). The experimental group received eight sessions of mindfulness training, and the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. Results:The results suggested that MBGT affected CER in female adolescents and that this effect was stable in the follow-up phase. The results also indicated that MBGT increased positive CER and decreased negative CER (P = 0.01). Conclusion: According to the findings, counselors and psychologists are recommended to use MBGT as an effective method to increase positive CER in female adolescents.
Background and Purpose:The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based group therapy in improving parent and peer attachment in female adolescents. Methods: The study utilized a pretest-posttest design with a control group and a twomonth follow-up. The statistical population consisted of all secondgrade high school students in Saveh County (Markazi province) who were studying in the school year of 2016-2017. Among them, 30 students (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling and were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The research tool was the inventory of parent and peer attachment (Armsden and Greenberg, 1987). The students in the experimental group received eight sessions of mindfulness training, but the control group did not receive any experimental training. Results: The results of analysis of covariance, and repeated measures indicated that group mindfulness training was effective in improving parent and peer attachment in female adolescents and the effect was stable in the follow-up test. The research results indicated that mindfulness training increased communication and trust in parents and peers, and reduced alienation from parents and peers in female adolescents. Conclusion: It seems that the intervention can be used as an independent method or in combination with other interventions for parent and peer attachment.
Objective: Recent studies have shown that emotion dysregulation is one of the most significant factors in young people's tendency towards risky behaviors. Therefore, it seems necessary to study the role of emotion regulation strategies in drug-related behaviors. The goal of the present study was to examine the relationship between emotion regulation strategies, and addiction potential in the Iranian student population. Methods:In this cross sectional study, a convenient sampling method was used to select a total of 388 students from the universities in Tehran. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Addiction Potential Scale (IAPS) were used to collect data. The study data were analyzed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchical regression analysis.Results: According to the study results, limited access to emotion regulation strategies was the sole predictor of active addiction potential (t=2.79, P<0.01). Passive addiction potential was predicted by emotional awareness (t=4.89, P<0.001) and also by limited access to emotion regulation strategies (t=5.01, P<0.01). Conclusion:Emotion regulation strategies and emotional awareness in relation to other components of emotion regulation were found to have more association with addiction potential. It was also seen that emotion regulation strategies training was effective in the prevention of drug dependence.
