Background: Previous studies have investigated the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among university students. In addition to examining the relationship between these two variables, this study enhances our understanding about the process underlying the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among women with breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to test the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between psychological flexibility and psychological well-being among Iranian women with breast cancer. Methods: The participants of this study, 220 women with breast cancer (ages 28 to 58 years, mean age: 42.16, SD: ±6.9.54) from three hospitals, in Tehran, Iran completed questionnaires about psychological flexibility, self-compassion and psychological well-being. Results: The results from structural equation modeling indicated that psychological flexibility and self-compassion positively predicted psychological well-being and psychological inflexibility negatively predicted psychological well-being among breast cancer patients. The findings from mediation analysis demonstrated that self-compassion partially mediated the relationships between psychological flexibility and psychological inflexibility with psychological well-being. The present study brings to light an underlying mechanism of the relationships between psychological flexibility and psychological inflexibility with psychological well-being via the mediating variable of self-compassion for patients with breast cancer.

Objective: To identification environmental and psychological violence's components among collegians’ students of different stages, and gender throughout creating specific questionnaire, and estimating regression of environmental domain effect on psychological domain, as well as measuring powerful of the association contingency between violence's domains in admixed form with respondent characteristics, such that (Demographics, Economics, and Behaviors), and extracting model of estimates impact of studied domains in studying risks, and protective factors among collegians’ students in Baghdad city. Methodology: Descriptive analysis was processed on collegians’ students during the period from 1-10-2012 to 30- 12- 2012 to assess psychological violence at the collegian environment through studied effectiveness of risk and protective factors. The study was purposive no probability sampling carried out (101) on students, and they are accounted (47) male and (54) female from different stages of study. The study are depended on psychological and environmental violence through different accredited references from previous study with making appropriate amendment, as well as taking of expert's consideration during the pilot study (Validity), which be in agreement and support. In addition to that, reliability coefficient (Alpha (Cronbach)) for internal consistency shows a highly credit, which indicating that generalization of the study results could be applicable for the population individuals. Descriptive statistics methods are used (Observed frequencies, Percentages, Mean of score, Standard deviation, Relative sufficiency) to assess psychological and environmental violence, as well as inferential statistics methods (Simple linear regression analysis, Contingency association coefficient, and Factor analysis). Results: The results shows that most students are faced to psychological violence upward than environmental violence in the adytum university, with highly relationship between then at (P<0.000), as well as no significant relationships for the contingency associations are accounted between characteristics variables, such that (Demographics, Economic, and some related variables) of studying individuals with their responses assessed through (under/upper) cutoff point (66.67) along psychological and environmental violence items in compact form, and that was achieved by redistribution of global mean of score, and that indicating highly fitness of studying both measurements to assess the population individuals rather than differences concerning with their characteristics variables. Extracted of one factor in factor analysis indicated that participation of both measurements are interacted for appointment responses levels to assess psychological and environmental violence and that formative 79.279% for interpreted the violence level in collegian environment among total sources of violence occur. Recommendation: Introduces some recommendation, and was among the significant of establishing psychological and educational guidance unit at universities for active subscribed of aggravation resources of violence with their different formative and gives a suitable treatments.

Background: The relationship between stress and illness is complex. The susceptibility to stress varies from person to person. An event that causes an illness in a person may not cause illness in other person. Events must interact with a wide variety of background factors to manifest as an illness. Hypertension, Heart diseases including Ischaemic heart disease was associated with personal stress (e.g. relationship breakdown) and but not with work-related stress (e.g. job loss) in middle-aged men. Personal stress being negatively associated with asthma. Objective: To assess negative and positive association of stress fullness of life's events on adult's people according to new scoring scales for classification chronic diseases. Patients and Methods: Cross sectional study done among patients who had chronic diseases, of size (100) patients in Baghdad city from two sectors in Al-karkh and Rusafa during the period from 15th December 2015 till 30th March 2016. It was taking into account the views of experts on the scoping study stage (Validity) agreement, which came experts support the redistribution of the paragraphs of the proposed measure of stressfulness of life's events. The reliability coefficient index results came under the scale (alpha-kronor Bach) for internal consistency of a very high degree of reliability, which reflects the validity of the circulating current research on all members of the community the results of the study. Using statistical analysis of the relationship (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, and relative sufficiency, chi square test). Results: Showed that a meaningful non linear regression model tested in two tailed alternative of statistical hypothesis between the two factors, chronical diseases problems concerning stressfulness of life's events. The slop value indicating that with increasing one unit of (chronic diseases problems factor) throughout reverse scoring scales, a negative decrement should be occurred in the unit of stressfulness of life's events factor, and estimated with (-0.15824) by the Logarithmic -Shape mode, and that decrement recorded a highly significant impact at P<0.01. Conclusion:The incidence of chronic diseases can put people in a position not to scorn or attention to detail from the painful life compared with people who do not have chronic diseases accidents, which was accomplished through the study of the stressfulness of life's events with increased diseases problems there found an inverse relationship, which has been achieved through the use of simple logarithmic regression mode.
