Abstract
Background & aim: Nursing is viewed as a profession with a high prevalence of occupational, physical, and psychological problems. This study aimed to determine and compare subjective rumination and impulsivity among nurses working in psychiatric and non-psychiatric wards in Zare and Imam Hospitals, Sari.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study done on 279 nurses of Sari, Zare and Imam Hospitals’ psychiatric (186) and non-psychiatric (93) wards, selected by simple random sampling. Research tools included demographic-occupational questionnaires, the short version of Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale and Minnesota job satisfaction questionnaire (MSQ). Data were analyzed by SPSS-24 software through Chi-square, t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient with significance.
Results: The mean score of cognitive, motor, non-planning impulsivity of nurses working in psychiatric wards’ nurses were 13.98±2.15, 11.61±2.67 and 15.50±1.88; and at non-psychiatric wards’ those variables were 14.75±2.50, 12.84±3.14, 16.21±2.49 (p=0.01). Moreover, the mean score of rumination of psychiatric and non-psychiatric wards’ nurses were (24.81±4.47) and (25.85±4.68), respectively, being statistically significant (p=0.05).
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, rumination and all dimensions of impulsivity were higher than average among nursing staff in non-psychiatric departments and lower than average in psychiatric department. According to the results, based on the presence of rumination and impulsivity among the nursing staff of different departments of the hospital, interventions can be designed to control rumination and impulsivity and provide safe and quality services to patients.

Abstract
Background & aim: Rumination and poor interactive quality are among the most common psychological problems of women suffering from postpartum depression. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a one-day workshop based on cognitive behavioral therapy on rumination and interactive quality of women suffering from postpartum depression.
Methods: It was a semi-experimental research design of pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a follow-up stage. The statistical population of this research included all women suffering from postpartum depression in Salmas city who were referred to health centers in 2022 to receive psychological services. The sample size includes 50 subjects (25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group) from the statistical population selected by available sampling method and they were randomly divided into two groups, the control group and the experimental group. For the experimental group, a one-day workshop based on cognitive behavioral therapy was implemented, while the control group did not receive training. Two weeks after the end of the training sessions, the scale of rumination responses and the relationship quality scale were completed as a post-test and follow-up after two months. The data were analyzed using the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements and SPSS-26 software.
Results: The average rumination scores in the pre, post and follow-up stages were 42.16, 36.60 and 36.96, respectively in the experimental group and 40.12, 41.36 and 41.44 in the control group, respectively. Also, the average interactive quality scores in the pre, post and follow-up stages in the experimental group were 20.40, 28.28 and 29.40, respectively and in the control group were 21.28, 20.72 and 20.32, respectively. The results of analysis of variance with repeated measures showed that the one-day workshop based on cognitive behavioral therapy had a significant effect on rumination and interactive quality in the post-test and follow-up stages (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Findings of this study provide useful information about one-day workshop based on cognitive behavioral therapy and counselors and psychologists can use this intervention to improve rumination and interactive quality of women with postpartum depressive disorder.

Abstract
Background & aim: Considering the importance of treating the global pandemic diseases and the important role of nurses and their psychological issues, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (MCBT) on nurses' rumination and perceived stress in the COVID-19 wards.
Methods This is a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test and follow-up with a Control group design. The study population consisted of all the nurses of Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Yahyanejhad hospitals in Babol city in 2021. Thirty nurses were included through convenience sampling method and randomly divided into two equal intervention and control groups. The Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy of the experimental group was conducted in 10 sessions of 90 minutes each time. The questionnaires for both groups were completed in three stages, before the intervention, 1 day after the intervention and 4 weeks after the intervention. The Rumination Scale designed by Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow (1991), and the Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale (1983) were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 22 using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and analysis of covariance at the 0.05 significance level.
Results: The results showed that Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy had a significant effect on rumination (F=33.491) and perceived stress (F=24.186) among nurses in the COVID-19 wards (p<0.01). Based on the results, the cognitive-behavioral therapy of a processing unit has been significantly effective in rumination (F=33.491) and perceptual stress (F=24.186) in nurses during the Covid-19 crisis (p<0.01).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy had a positive effect on reducing rumination and perceived stress. Therefore, it is suggested that the health consultants and planners can extend the Modular Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-based interventions on to increase the nurses’ awareness of perceived stress

Abstract
Background & aim: The presence of suicidal thoughts is a strong predictor of future successful suicide, which is related to psychological factors. Therefore, providing timely therapeutic/educational interventions may be effective in controlling psychological factors and thereby reducing suicide. The aim of this research was to investigate effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy training on levels of self-criticism and co-rumination in students with suicidal thoughts.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest with non-equivalent control group design. In this study, the research population consisted of all the students in Ardabil branch, Islamic Azad University during the educational year of 1401-1402. After screening, 40 of them were selected using convenience sampling and by simple randomization method they were divided into two equal experimental and control groups (20 experimental and 20 control). The implementation of the experimental group was carried out in 8 sessions, each session lasting 75 minutes as a compassion-focused therapy training. However, the control group received no training and remained on the waiting list. Data were collected using the levels of self-criticism scale and the co-rumination questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (multivariate analysis of covariance) statistics in SPSS-24.
Results: Results indicated that compassion-focused therapy training significantly reduced the levels of self-criticism and co-rumination in students with suicidal thoughts (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the compassion-focused therapy training can be used as an effective intervention in reducing the levels of self-criticism and co-rumination in students with suicidal thoughts.
