Introduction: Early maladaptive schemas are self-damaging emotional and cognitive patterns that lead to the formation of irrational beliefs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy on maladaptive schemas of individuals with substance abuse. Materials and Methods: This study was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and control groups. The statistical population of this study consisted of male substance abusers who referred to Methadone Addiction Treatment Clinics of Karaj in 2010. The sample of the study consisted of 30 substance abusers who were selected randomly and were assigned into experimental and control groups. To evaluate the participants in pre-test and post-test, Young's Short Form Questionnaire was used. Participants in the experimental group received group cognitive-behavioral therapy for 12 sessions but participants in the control group received no interventions. After implementing the post-test, data were analyzed using covariance analysis and Spss16 soft ware. Results: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and the control groupss after implementing cognitive - behavioral therapy in quintuple areas of schema (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest the importance of group cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing maladaptive schemas in substance abusers. Considering the importance of maladaptive schemas in developing psychological problems, group cognitive-behavioral therapy can be a complementary aspect of medical treatment in improving psychological problems associated with addiction.

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is one of the factors contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD). One way of reducing the complications of this disease is the use of medicinal plants. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Pistacia atlantica powder consumption on lipids and other biochemical factors in hyperlipidemic individuals. Materials and Methods: This double blind clinical trial was conducted on 60 hyperlipidemic volunteers with blood triglycerides more than 200 mg/dl and cholesterol level over 245 mg/dl. The individuals were randomly divided into two groups, consuming 2.5 (30) and 5 gr (other 30) pistachio powder daily. Before using pistacia powder, fasting blood samples were collected from both groups then, they used pistacia atlantica for two months every day and at the end of study, fasting blood samples were collected again. Blood factors including: triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C were measured. The results were analyzed using SPSS software and p Results: Blood triglycerides, cholesterol and LDL-C decreased significantly but the level of HDL-C increased significantly in both groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups based on the other factors. Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, pistacia powder consumption can decrease triglyceride, cholesterol, LDL and increase HDL levels, therefore the pistacia atlantica can be useful for individuals with mild hyperlipidemia.

Introduction: Body dysmorphic disorder falls under the category of obsessive-compulsive and is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with body, including too much attention to the organs and body parts which leads to confusion. The aim of this research was to determine body image disturbances in the paintings of obsessive compulsive disorder patients and comparing the results with healthy persons. Materials and Methods: This was a cross sectional-descriptive study. Two groups which included 30 obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and 30 healthy individuals were analyzed. These two groups were assimilated by some characterization such as: sex, age, marriage and job. The paintings were graded by Goodenough-Harris Drawing scale. Data were coded and entered into the computer program. The results were analyzed by descriptive and Chi-squared statistical testing. Results: The results showed that the OCD patients group’s drawings were statistically different in Draw-a-man test from the normal group in: The frequency of removal of the existence of geometric shapes, the details, the unusual sizes and unfitness of the organs. Conclusions: OCD patients are impaired in body image. By using a non direct assessment and the help of Draw-a-man test which is a projective mechanism, we could detect the problem that the patients cannot express.

Therefore, this study aimed to compare the marital satisfaction and Work/Family conflict among the nurses with fixed and changing shifts. Materials and Method: This study was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study. The study statistical population comprised of 264 nurses. Among them 242 who had the conditions for entering the study were selected through census method. To examine the samples, Enrich marital satisfaction questionnaire and Carlson work/family conflict questionnaire were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18 by using Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test and multivariate regression analysis with a significant level of p<0/05. Results: The results showed that the average marital satisfaction in the constant shift nurses was 171/27 ± 30/57 and in nurses with changing shifts was 164/06 ± 23/99. In fact, based on the obtained results, significant differences were observed in marital satisfaction between fixed and changing shifts (p=0/017). Marital satisfaction was higher in nurses with fixed working shifts. Also the results showed that the mean of work / family conflict in nurses with constant shifts was 3/26 ± 0/85 and in the nurses with changing shifts was 3/34 ± 0/69. Therefore, there was no significant difference between the two groups in this field (p= 0/38). Conclusion: According to the results, teaching the necessary skills to the shift workers about management of job and familial and marital satisfaction is essential.
