Families develop shared worldviews called family paradigms, an ordered set of beliefs about the social world that are sensibly connected to the ways families actually respond to and interact with their social world and which help or hinder their problem solving abilities. Evidence suggests that these paradigms are generally built in and endure and regulate transactions with the family's social environment. Under stress, however, a family may alter its paradigm as a result of transactions with the environment. Using a family system paradigm, this presentation will examine the theoretical literature in search of a better way of understanding stress and its management in families. Multiple causes and multifaceted coping strategies, and the advantages and disadvantages of management strategies in families will be highlighted.

The present study is aimed at dealing with stress management strategies and impulsivity in opiate abusers, sedative and stimulus is conducted. In the study, a causal-comparative method was adopted. Research participants included 180 drug users inhabiting the already determined addiction centers in Shiraz. They were selected using Available random sampling. To collect the data, stress management strategies and impulsivity scales were employed, and to analyze the results, descriptive statistical methods and variance analysis were used. The results indicated that abuse stimulating consumers significantly more than consumers emotion-centered use of opioids and moderator of coping strategies virgin (0.007), but abusers response-moderator (0.26) and opioids - moderator (0.43) were not significantly different. As well as the construction abusers significantly greater impulsivity as compared to the stimulus (0.012) and opioids (0.005) showed, but stimulants and opioids two groups had no significant differences in impulsivity variables (0.94). It can be said that the research is based on the type of substance, in terms of coping with stress and control of their impulsivity, of consumers stimulants other than using virgin materials more negatively of coping with stress and drug abuse-moderator of impulsivity than other people are experiencing abuse.

Challenges like employees' psychological strain and organisational changes have forced governments and organisations to define new major procedures in governmental section. These changes should be reviewed especially for police employees who are under the pressures and stresses from their policing job. The present study is intended to identify the occupational stresses and their intra-organisational and inter-organisational effects in preventive police of Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). This is a descriptive heuristic research based on an applied goal and a statistical society consisting of senior officers (Senior Management) of preventive police of IRI. 230 people of the society were randomly selected from all over the country. After interviewing the seniors and commanders and completing the questionnaires, the results were analysed by PLS and SPSS software packages. The findings showed that the variables were a combination of internal and external factors and R2 was equal to 0.821; so the value of R2 is correct and therefore the constructed model is validated. According to the results, the hypothesis that the two intra-organisational and inter-organisational factors can impact the stress level of the police employees is confirmed; and after ranking, intra-organisational factors showed greater impacts on the stress levels as compared to the inter-organisational factors.

Perceived stress among prisoners can cause some psychological and physical problems, and cause positive attitudes toward drugs and tendency to drug use among them. This study aimed to decline perceived stress among drug-dependent prisoners and change their attitude toward drugs. This was a semi-experimental study conducted in a pretest-posttest and follow-up design with a control group. Statistical population of this study was prisoners of Rafsanjan prison that were treating with Methadone maintenance. 30 prisoners were randomly selected and assigned for experimental and control groups randomly. For collecting data, Perceived Stress Questionnaire (Cohen, et al, 1983) and Attitude toward Drugs Questionnaire (Nazari, 2000) were used. Training program included 10 sessions and each session was 90 minutes. After sessions finished, post-test, and follow-up test were done after 2 months. The average of scores significantly decreased both post-test and follow-up in experimental group but no differences in control group. Accordingly, this study concluded that the recent intervention could effectively decrease perceived stress both in short- and long-term and also cause negative attitude toward drugs among them.

This study sets out to investigate the impact of group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management on improved hardiness and self-control in depressed women. It was carried out by means of experimental method inclusive of pretest and posttest with a control group. The statistical population comprises all female married patients visiting the Psychiatry Clinic in Tehran in 2013. The research sample is composed of 30 depressed patients who were selected from among the patients and divided into two experiment and control groups. For the purpose of data collection, the hardiness scale, self-control scale, perceived stress scale, and depression inventory were employed. Results of the multivariate variance analysis suggested that group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management positively affects improved hardiness and self-control (P<0.001). According to the research findings, group cognitive-behavioral intervention in stress management proves to be an effective method for improving and increasing depressed women's hardiness and self-control.

Aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between migraine attacks and mental disorders.mental disorders is that disorders which assessed by Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI), and migrain predicated to transient ischemic attacks. The investigation hypothesis was: tendency to mental disorders assessed by MMPI in migraine patients is mor than normal population.fortesting hypothesis 66 persons diagnosed as migraine patient selected on medicine dosiers and compared with 66 sound person.in this study MMPI and a qustionaire related to history of migraine administered and Multivariate Analysis Of Variance (MANOVA) is used for analysis of data.results confirmed our hypothesis.migraine patients had mor tendency to mental disorders in comparative with sound persons.thisdisorders were depression,hysteria,psychopath,paranoia,psychasthenia,chizophrenia,hypomania and hypochondria.totally results similar to former studies supported our hypothesis and this differences are significant in statistical viewpoint.
