Abstract

Introduction: Spinal cord injuries are one of the most serious injuries that cause many side effects. The aim of this study was to compare psychological distress and life satisfaction in spinal cord injury seekers and healthy individuals.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive-comparative study. The statistical population of the present study included all spinal disabled and healthy people in Zanjan. 122 people with spinal cord disabilities were selected by simple random sampling method and 125 healthy people were selected by convenience sampling. Subjects in the demographic questionnaire answered the “Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale” and the “Satisfaction with Life Scale”. Content validity was measured by qualitative method and reliability by internal consistency method by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS. 24.
Results: Spinal cord patients have higher stress and anxiety than healthy individuals (0.01), but no statistically significant difference was observed in depression between the two groups. Life satisfaction of the spinal cord group is lower than the healthy group (0.01).
Conclusions: The physical condition of people with spinal cord injuries can affect their psychological state. It is suggested that the officials and people who are in contact with these people empower them psychologically in person by conducting training classes for spinal cord injury clients in person and virtually.

Abstract

Introduction: Infertility and its treatment affect all aspects of the life of the individual and the couple and can cause various mental disorders. The aim of this study was to predict the psychological distress of infertility based on psychological toughness, mindfulness, and basic psychological needs in infertile men and women.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive-correlational study. The statistical population included all infertile men and women in Tehran. 200 women and 200 men with primary and secondary infertility diagnoses referred to infertility centers in Tehran in 1998 were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale, the Psychological Hardiness Scale, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, and the The Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale was performed. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 22.
Results: Among the components of research, observation components (β = -0.12), description (β = -0.18), conscious practice (β = -0.24), autonomy (β = -0.22) and competence (Β = -0.33) were able to predict psychological distress. Based on the coefficient of determination, it can be said that in general, the variables in the model are able to explain 33% (R2 = 0.33) of the variance in the psychological distress variable.
Conclusion: Psychological hardiness, mindfulness and basic psychological needs play a role in predicting the psychological distress of infertility. Therefore, by training the necessary skills in this field, this can be reduced. Therefore, it is suggested that health teams can think of better measures to treat and improve the stress and psychological distress of infertile people with the knowledge of these issues.
