Abstract The present study was conducted in order to determine the effectiveness of resilience training on improving the quality of life and psychological toughness of female heads of households. The research method was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the research was all female heads of households covered by the Kermanshah Relief Committee in 2017. Among these women, 30 people were selected in a targeted way and then randomly replaced in two groups of 15 people, experimental and control. In order to collect information, World Health Organization quality of life questionnaires (QFQ) and Ahvaz Psychological Toughness (AHI) were used. After the pre-test, the experimental group in 8 weekly sessions of 90 minutes, resiliency training based on the theory received Henderson. Then the post-test was performed for both groups. The results of covariance analysis showed that resilience training significantly increased the mean scores of quality of life components (except physical health and environmental health components) and psychological toughness in women. has been supervised (p<0.001).

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between time management and self-efficacy with occupational stress of elementary school teachers in Bojnord city. This is a descriptive research of correlational type and the statistical population consisted of all the elementary school teachers of Bojnord city in 1994-1995 in the number of 850 people and a sample size of 265 people was selected. In this research, three occupational stress questionnaires of the Health and Safety Institute of England, Sherer and Maddox's general self-efficacy scale and Kerami's time management questionnaire (2017) were used. Multiple regression test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used to derive the hypotheses. The results showed that in the best prediction model for job stress, time management and self-efficacy are able to predict the criterion variable. Time management has the biggest contribution in predicting job stress. Also, there is a negative and significant relationship between self-efficacy and job stress at a level smaller than 0.05. This means that self-efficacy is related to job stress, and with the increase of self-efficacy scores, the job stress of elementary teachers decreases. Also, there is a negative and significant relationship between time management and job stress at a level smaller than 0.01. This means that time management is related to job stress, and with the increase of time management scores, the job stress of elementary teachers decreases.
