Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of distress tolerance in the relationship between perceived stress, and a sense of cohesion with coronavirus anxiety in students. The research method was correlational to path analysis type. The statistical population included all Students studying at the Farhangian University of Kurdistan Province in the academic year 2020-2021, from which 300 were selected by systematic random sampling. Data were collected using the Corona Anxiety Scale (CDAS, Alipour & et al, 2019), Distress Tolerance Questionnaire (DTS, Simmons & Gaher, 2005), Perceived Stress (PSS, Cohen & et al, 1983), and Sense of Cohesion (SOC, Antonovsky, 1993). In order to analyze the data, the path analysis method was used in SPSS and AMOS-21 software. The results showed that the model fits the research data (P<0.01). According to the results, perceived stress, sense of cohesion, and distress tolerance have a direct effect on coronavirus anxiety in students. Also, perceived stress and a sense of cohesion have an indirect effect on coronavirus anxiety through distress tolerance (P<0.01). Therefore, the results show that a high sense of cohesion and high distress tolerance, despite perceived stress, can prevent the impact of coronavirus stressors on human health.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the structural model of Covid 19 disease anxiety based on perceived stress with the mediating role of perceived social support in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all students of Islamic Azad University, Tehran Central Branch in the academic year 1399-400. The sample size was 322 people who were selected by cluster random sampling. Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CDAS, Alipour et al., 1398), Perceived stress (PSS, Cohen et al., 1983), and Perceived social support (MSPSS, Zimet et al., 1998) were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling with the help of SPSS 27 and AMOS 24 statistical software. The results showed that the general model of the research fits with the experimental data. In addition, there is a positive and significant relationship between perceived stress and anxiety in Covid 19 disease (p = 0.001, β = 0.60). And there is a negative and significant relationship between perceived stress and perceived social support (p = 0.001, β = -0.72). But the mediating role of social support between perceived stress and disease anxiety was not confirmed (p <0.05). The results of this study showed that reducing perceived stress and having perceived social support play an effective role in reducing coronary heart disease anxiety.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the mediating role of self-compassion and mindfulness in the relationship between perceived stress and psychological and physical health. This paper is applied in terms of purpose and is correlational in terms of method. Two hundred forty-nine senior undergraduate students were selected via convenience sampling and filled in The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, Cohen et al, 1997), The Anxiety and Depression scale (CCAS, Costello, & Comrey, 1967), The Physical Symptom Checklist of Bartone (1989), The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ, Baer et al, 2006), and the Self-compassion Scale (Neff, 2003). The data were analyzed by path analysis model and Amos software. Results showed that perceived stress predicted self-compassion and mindfulness negatively and both of them predicted physical symptoms, anxiety, and depression negatively (p<0.01). Besides, two separate models indicated that self-compassion and mindfulness have a mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress, physical symptoms, anxiety, and depression (p<0.01). However, Entering these two mediating variables into the path analysis model indicated that self-compassion keeps its mediator variable role in all the three criterion variables, while mindfulness only has a mediator variable role in anxiety. It can be concluded that in order to reduce the effect of perceived stress on students' mental and physical health, we can focus on strengthening self-compassion.

Abstract
The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of treatment based on acceptance and commitment to rumination and perceived stress of women with obsessive-compulsive disorder in the conditions of the corona pandemic. This research was semi-experimental research with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all women suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, who were selected by purposeful sampling from among those who referred to public and private medical centers in Marand city located in East Azarbaijan province during the year 1401, and then based on random allocation. People were assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). Maudsley's Obsessional-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) (1980), Nolen-Hoeksma and Maro's Rumination Scale (RRS) (1993), Cohen's Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) (1983), And eight sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) were the data collection tools in this research. The data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis. The findings showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there is a significant difference in the average scores of rumination and perceived stress in the post-test stage of the experimental and control groups (P<0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that treatment based on acceptance and commitment has had a significant effect on the rumination and perceived rumination of women with the obsessive-compulsive disorder during the conditions of the corona pandemic and causes them to decrease.

Abstract
The present study aimed to model the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome based on perceived stress with the mediating role of emotion regulation and sleep quality in female students. The research method was a descriptive correlation of the path analysis type and structural equation model. The statistical population of this study was the female students of Rasht Islamic Azad University in 2022. In this study, 250 people participated in an online survey in an accessible way. To collect data, the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSS; Cohen et al., 1983), Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John., 2003), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI; Buysse et al., 1989), and Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST; Steiner et al., 2003) were used. To analyze the data, the path analysis method was used. Based on the findings, the proposed model had a good fit. The direct effect of perceived stress on reappraisal, suppression, sleep quality, and premenstrual syndrome was significant. Also, the direct effect of sleep quality on premenstrual syndrome was significant. The results showed that only the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between stress and premenstrual syndromes was significant (P<0.05); In fact, sleep quality had a mediating role in the relationship between stress and PMS. Based on this, it can be concluded that stress had an effective role in the increase of premenstrual syndrome both directly and due to its effect on the quality of sleep.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of perceived stress in the relationship between mindfulness, self-compassion, and health-enhancing lifestyle in working women. The descriptive-correlational research method was structural equation modeling. The statistical population was all women working in government organizations and offices of Tehran province in 1401, from which 400 women were selected as a sample. The research tools are the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ, Bauer et al., 2006), the Short Form Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF, Rais et al., 2003), the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSS, Cohen et al. et al., 1983) and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLPII, Walker et al., 1987). The data were analyzed by structural equation analysis. The findings showed the optimal fit of the data with the proposed research model. Mindfulness and perceived stress had a significant direct effect on a health-promoting lifestyle (P<0.001) But the direct effect of self-compassion on a health-promoting lifestyle was not significant (P=0.008). Also, mindfulness and self-compassion with the mediation of perceived stress had a significant direct effect on health-promoting lifestyle (P < 0.001). From these findings, it can be concluded that increasing mindfulness and self-compassion reduces perceived stress in working women and increases health-promoting lifestyle.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to explain the mental health model based on infertility stress with the mediation of perceived stress in infertile women. The research method was the descriptive-correlation type of structural equation analysis. The statistical population in this research was made up of all women who were referred to Royan Infertility Center and Sarem Hospital in Tehran for infertility treatment in 2023. Therefore, by referring to these centers examining the files of infertile women and taking into account the inclusion criteria, 270 of them were selected as the research sample. The measurement tools were perceived stress questionnaires (PSS), Cohen, 1983), infertility stress (FPI, Newton, 1999), and mental health (GHQ, Goldberg, and Hiller, 1972). Data analysis was done using Pearson correlation and structural equations software. The results of the fit of the proposed model indicated a good fit of the model with the data. Based on the findings, infertility stress has a positive and significant effect on mental health and perceived stress (P<0.01). Also, perceived stress has a positive and significant effect on mental health (P<0.01). Also, by entering the perceived stress variable into the model, the indirect effect of infertility stress on mental health became significant (P<0.01). Therefore, the results of this research showed the importance of perceived stress as a mediating variable in the relationship between infertility stress and the mental health of infertile women.
