Abstract
Objectives: Healthcare workers involved in the fight against corona are at high risk for depression and anxiety; therefore, this study aimed to predict Corona anxiety in nurses based on perceived social support and a sense of coherence.
Methods: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The present study’s statistical population consisted of all nurses working in hospitals and clinics in Rasht, employed in 2020, and 200 people participated in the survey online and through virtual networks. Data collection tools included the Corona anxiety Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Sense of Coherence Inventory-(SOC)13 Scale. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and simultaneous regression analysis using SPSS V. 23 software.
Results: Corona anxiety in nurses had a negative and significant relationship with perceived social support (β=-0.581; P<0.03) and sense of coherence(β=-0.672; P<0.001). Perceived social support and a sense of coherence of 42% of variance predicted Corona anxiety scores in nurses (P<0.01).
Conclusion: Therefore, perceived social support and a sense of coherence play an essential role in nurses’ Corona anxiety. Therefore, educating nurses to increase the understanding of cohesion to empower and implement understandable support programs is recommended.

Abstract
Objectives: Inter-parent agreement and discrepancy on core symptoms of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and related externalizing problems can have clinical implications for the diagnosis of the disorder. This study aims to examine inter-parent agreement and discrepancy on ratings of hyperactivity/impulsivity, inattention, behavior problems, and emotion dysregulation in children with ADHD.
Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study. The study population consists of children with ADHD aged 6-10 years who referred to child and adolescent psychiatric clinics in Tehran, Iran. Of these, 51 children were selected using a convenience sampling method. They were separately assessed by their parents using the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham-IV (SNAP-IV) Questionnaire, Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, Emotion Regulation Checklist, and the Parenting Stress Index- Short Form.
Results: Parents had a moderate agreement on all scales/subscales except on emotion dysregulation which was fair. Mothers rated higher than fathers in all areas except for the inattention subscale. Mother’s parenting stress and educational level could predict inter-parent discrepancy on ratings.
Conclusion: Mother-father discrepancy on the symptoms and problems of ADHD is clinically significant. Clinicians should take it to account when interpreting results of rating scales in children with ADHD. Multiple informants are suggested in using rating scales for ADHD assessment.

Abstract
Objectives Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease can significantly reduce its mortality. This research aims to investigated the relationships of breast cancer screening with health anxiety and cancer literacy, mediated by psychological resilience.
Methods This is descriptive-correlational study. The study population consists of all women with breast cancer over 40 years old referred to mammography clinics in Rasht, Iran, in 2022. Of these, 300 women were selected by a convenience sampling method. To collect data, the mammography and breast cancer screening questionnaire, the health anxiety inventory, the breast cancer awareness scale, and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale were used. The collected data were analyzed by path analysis using SPSS software, version 23 and Amos version 18.
Results The cancer literacy (β=-0.11), illness anxiety (β=0.38) and resilience (β=0.25) had a significant direct relationship with breast cancer screening. The relationship of cancer literacy (β=-0.17) and health anxiety (β=0.25) with psychological resilience was also significant (P<0.001). Furthermore, cancer literacy and health anxiety had an indirect relationship with breast cancer screening though psychological resilience. The model fitness indexes showed that the model had a good fit to the data (RAMSEA=0.056).
Conclusion Health anxiety is related to increased breast cancer screening, while health literacy is related to decreased breast cancer screening. Psychological resilience can mediate the relationship of health anxiety and health literacy with breast cancer screening.
