In conditions such as the prevalence of COVID-19, many people experience many concerns, including disease anxiety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of case virtual reality therapy on corona anxiety. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with the control group, pre-test and post-test with random assignment. The statistical population of the present study included all Ardakanian men and women with corona anxiety in 1398. 18 participants were selected Withpurposive sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (9 participants in the experimental and 9 in the control group). Participants responded to the Corona Disease Anxiety Questionnaire (Alipour, et al, 2020) in the pre-test and post-test stages. The experimental group received case virtual reality therapy intervention in 6 sessions of one hour and three sessions per week, while the control group did not receive any intervention during the study period. Finally, the data were analyzed by one-way analysis of covariance. The results showed that mean scores of corona anxiety and its psychological and physical dimensions in the experimental group were significantly decreased in the post-test (p <0.001). Based on the results of the study, case virtual reality therapy can be considered as an effective intervention in reducing the psychological problems of people with corona anxiety.

The aim of this study was to predict coronary anxiety based on emotional turmoil (depression, anxiety, and stress) with the mediating role of spiritual health in nurses and aides. The research method was descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the study included all nurses and aides of Imam Zaman Hospital in Islamshahr in the last quarter of 2021. 118 people were selected as the statistical sample based on the available sampling method based on the Morgan sampling table. In order to collect data, Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS) (Alipour et al., 2020), Comprehensive Spiritual Health Questionnaire (CSHQ) (Amiri et al., 2014), and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale(DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) were used. Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression tests. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between emotional turmoil and coronary anxiety in nurses and aides and a negative and significant correlation between spiritual health and their components with coronary anxiety (p<0.01). The results of regression analysis showed that 34.4% of coronary anxiety in nurses and paramedics was explained by emotional turmoil and spiritual health (p<0.01). These results indicate the importance of paying attention to psychological status and spiritual health in nurses and aides in these critical situations.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on coronavirus anxiety and parent-child interaction in mothers. The research design was semi-experimental as a pretest-posttest with a control group. Sampling method was purposive. For this purpose, among the statistical population of the study, including all mothers with children aged 6 to 12 years in Tehran who had symptoms of coronary anxiety and obtained a score higher than the average from the Coronavirus Anxiety Inventory (CDAS), 30 people who met the inclusion criteria were selected and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The questionnaires were the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (Alipour et al., 1398) and the Child-Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS) (Pianta, 1994). After that, the experimental group received active music therapy with a Brain Dance approach for 21 sessions of 25 minutes (every day for 3weeks), while the controls did not receive any intervention. Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS-24 and multivariate analysis of covariance. The results of data analysis showed that music-therapy is effective on reduction of the physical and mental dimensions as well as the overall score of coronary anxiety; and also, the improvement of parent-child interaction in the dimensions of closeness, conflict, dependence and also the overall score of parent-child interaction and this effect is statistically significant (P <0.05). Therefore, music therapy can be used to reduce corona anxiety and improve parent-child interaction.
