The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a stress management educational intervention programme based on the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMSC) among industrial workers. Participants were 106 employees of a power plant in Iran, randomly assigned into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention comprised active and participatory methods to enhance employees coping skills and it was delivered in six face-to-face sessions. Data was collected using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale at baseline and three months after the intervention. We found mean scores of distancing, self-controlling, seeking social support, escape-avoidance, planned problem-solving, positive reappraisal, total coping skills, perceived social support, and spiritual well-being significantly differed at follow-up compared to baseline in the intervention group, but not in the control group. There was also a significant difference in the mean score of perceived stress between the two groups. We conclude that the educational intervention based on the TMSC was effective in improving coping skills and reducing perceived stress. We suggest that interventions based on the TMSC model can be supportive in workplaces where job stress is common.

“…The results show that validity in non-clinical samples strongly correlated with other outcome measures, such as post-traumatic growth (r = 0.58), subjective well-being (r = 0.59), as well as religious meaningmaking (r = 0.71) (Imam et al, 2009). The Persian version of the SWBS showed an acceptable internal consistency (α = .78) in a sample of Iranian patients with cancer (Nia et al, 2022).…”

Background: Considering the crisis of the coronavirus in the world and the confusion and mental distress that arose for people in different societies, it seems necessary to find protective factors against depression and anxiety caused by this epidemic. This study aims to find the relationship between resilience, spiritual well-being, and coping with depression and anxiety.Methods: Using the available sampling method, a descriptive survey design was employed to select 900 adults from the general population of Tehran.They received questions to answer the questions of the hospital anxiety scale, 9-question patient health questionnaire, brief resilience scale, Holahan and Moss coping scale, and Grech and Hamby spiritual well-being scale. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression methods. Results: The results indicated the prediction of anxiety and depression through resilience (sig = 0.000) and spiritual well-being (sig = 0.002), as well as a strong negative correlation between depression and spiritual well-being (-0.492). Conclusion: Study findings suggest empowering individuals regarding spiritual well-being, raising religious awareness, and fostering a connection with a higher power can enhance resilience. This empowerment can help individuals withstand critical situations such as the coronavirus pandemic and mental injuries and disorders. Furthermore, increased resilience is associated with reduced anxiety and depression, promoting overall well-being and self-fulfillment.

Background: A cancer diagnosis can be psychologically challenging to individuals due to perceptions that the disease is potentially incurable truncating life expectancy. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationships among religious well-being, existential well-being, fear of progression and quality of life in Iranian patients with cancer and to evaluate the potential mediating role of hope on these relationships. Methods: This study with predictive cross-sectional design was done in 2023. Data was gathered from 398 patients with cancer that was selected with accessible sampling method from cancer center of Mazandaran university of medical sciences (Sari, Iran). Study constructs included the religious and existential wellbeing, cancer fear of progression, Snyder Hope, and quality of life. Analysis of a Moment Structures (AMOS) software (v27) was utilized for all study analyses. Covariance based-structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to assess the mediating role of hope. Results: The mean age of patients with cancer was 49.14 (SD = 16.16). The results of the direct effect showed a significant positive relationship between religious well-being and hope (B = 0.164, p < .001), and between hope and quality of life (B = 0.212, p < 0.001). Also, significant negative relationship between fear of progression and hope (B = -0.147, p < 0.05) was founded. Conclusion: A significant positive relationship between hope and quality of life, as well as religious well-being and hope, suggests the influential effects of hope and religious well-being on improving quality of life in patients with cancer. Negative relationships between fear of progression and hope conclude that managing fear of progression may be an important factor in increasing hope and improving quality of life in patients with cancer.
