“…By services, there have been differences of more than one point in the GHQ-12 among nurses working in PC = 2.94 (SD = 3.41), as compared to those working in emergency services 4.17 (SD = 3.79). This could be seen in the study by Abbaspour et al ( 43 ), where 39.7% of health professionals working as OHES in Iran had high levels of risk for mental health impairment. This phenomenon can be explained by the care overload to which EC nurses are exposed.…”

Background: Exposure to risk factors may lead to health problems of varied nature and to an increased risk of suffering accidents at work.Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the work engagement, psychosocial risks, and psychological well-being of Spanish nurses, analyzing existing relationships, and their associations with self-reported mental health problems of nurses.Methods: To this end, a cross-sectional observational study was carried out with a sample of 1,704 Spanish nurses between January 2019 and January 2020, using a self-administered questionnaire containing sociodemographic variables, the Spanish version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (CoPsoQ-istas21), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).Results: The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that nurses' perceptions for each of the tests significantly differed among different healthcare areas (p < 0.05). The results indicated that emergency nurses offered higher scores in all dimensions of the CoPsoQ-istas21 and GHQ-12 tests; and in primary care, nurses scored higher in all three dimensions of the UWES-9 test. In addition, self-perceived health and vigor at work were identified as predictive factors of mental health.Conclusions: A high percentage of Spanish nurses perceived a high level of psychosocial risk in the exercise of their duties and nearly 41% could suffer from some mental health-related problem. Primary Care nurses showed higher levels of work engagement and lower perception of psychosocial risks than Emergency nurses. Results may allow to identify a professional profile which is more likely to suffer from psychological distress, as both the working conditions and the work commitment expressed by nurses in their daily work are key elements in assessing the possible psychosocial risks to which they may be exposed.

“…Patients with chronic kidney failure, in addition to numerous physiological changes, face many psychological stresses. [ 5 ] On the one hand, due to the awareness of the deterioration of their disease, these patients are forced to bear the stress of grueling treatment measures, including dialysis, and however, with the prolongation of the disease, their psychosocial functioning is severely affected,[ 6 ] and most patients do not adapt to problems and tensions and suffer behavioral changes such as anxiety, depression, and isolation. [ 7 ] Studies have shown that rapid diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, and stress increase the quality of life of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment.…”

BACKGROUND: Clinical symptoms and treatment adherence are one of the most important problems in dialysis patients. Psychological treatments can be effective in reducing the problems of these patients. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on clinical symptoms and treatment adherence in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This study was a quasi-experimental study with the experimental and control groups in the dialysis clinic of Torbat-e Heydarieh City in 2012. The sample consisted of 40 people who were referred to the dialysis clinic, and the available sampling method was used to randomly assign participants to the experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, ACT was performed in eight sessions of 90 minutes. Questionnaires of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and general adherence scale were used. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 21) software and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) test. RESULTS: There was a significant difference between the mean scores of clinical symptoms and treatment adherence variables in the experimental and control groups (P < 0.05). The effect of this treatment on reducing the clinical symptoms score was 48%, and on increasing the treatment, the adherence score was 44%. CONCLUSION: ACT can reduce clinical symptoms and increase treatment adherence in dialysis patients, so it is suggested to use this intervention in the design of treatment plans for dialysis patients.

“…7 These symptoms can also affect people's mental health, even leading to mental disorders such as PTSD. 8 A cross-section study on family members of staff in five hospitals in China during the outbreak of COVID-19 involving 822 people reported the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms as 33.73% and 29.35%, respectively. 9 Depression is a common negative emotion experienced by individuals and medical staff during an infectious disease outbreak.…”

People with anxiety and depression are more worried. This worry can weaken their immune system and make them vulnerable to diseases. This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of CFT on depression and anxiety in patients with COVID-19. The study had a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population included 30 men who underwent quarantine for COVID-19 in 2021. Participants were chosen through convenience sampling and then were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, CFT treatment was performed in 10 sessions of 90 minutes. Beck Depression and Anxiety Questionnaires were used to collect the required data. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software and multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA). The results showed a significant difference between the mean scores of depression and anxiety in the experimental and control groups (p <0.05). The effect of this treatment on reducing the scores of depression and anxiety was 51% and 68%, respectively. Based on the results, CFT can reduce anxiety and depression in patients with COVID-19 disease. It is suggested that this intervention can be used in psychological treatment programs.
