Abstract

Introduction: The extent of internet use broadly influences the different aspects of life. Also, the cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors affect the internet dependency.
Objectives: Severe internet dependency creates a disorder, therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support and internet addiction in nursing students, considering the mediating role of alexithymia.
Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive-correlational study based on structural equation modeling and specific regression equation. A total number of 361 nursing students (178 females and 183 males) were selected with the random sampling method, in Gorgan City, Iran, from October to November 2018. The participants filled the Zimet et al. (1988) social support scale, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the Young (1996) internet addiction scale. Then, the collected data were analyzed with the regression structural equation modeling, in SPSS-18 and Amos-23 software programs.
Results: The regression equations showed a direct effect of social support on internet addiction and an indirect effect of social support on internet addiction with the mediation of alexithymia (P ˂ 0.01). Moreover, alexithymia positively affects internet addiction (P ˂ 0.01), and social support negatively affects alexithymia (P ˂ 0.01). 
Conclusion: The study model predicts 33% of internet addiction variance. This research highlights the important effect of social support on internet addiction, which is mediated by alexithymia, in students. These results provide advisers and trainers with applicable methods to improve the psychological states of students.

Abstract

Background & Objective: Generalized anxiety disorder is a chronic and debilitating disorder that manifests itself in the form of excessive and uncontrollable worry. Numerous biological and psychological factors can cause and perpetuate this disorder. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of integrated therapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion on positive metaemotions in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.
Materials and Methods: The research method was semi-experimental and was conducted in the form of a pre-test-post-test design including two intervention groups and a control group. The target population in this study was all patients with generalized anxiety disorder referred to counseling centers in Mashhad in 2023. From this population, 45 patients were selected by convenience sampling and divided into three groups of 15 people and randomly assigned to two intervention groups and a control group, which was reduced to 13 people during the intervention. The positive metaemotions scale of Beer and Monta (2010) was used to collect data, and meta diagnostic therapy sessions were conducted for 10 sessions and self-compassion therapy sessions were conducted for the intervention groups. No intervention was performed for the control group. Covariance analysis test and SPSS-25 software were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that integrated psychotherapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion have a significant effect on positive metaemotions. (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Given the nature of integrated psychotherapy based on meta diagnosis and psychotherapy based on self-compassion, these two therapeutic methods are recommended to increase positive metaemotions.
