Abstract
This research is aimed to examine reliability and validity of the questionnaire which was about individuals' viewpoints on medical help-seeking. The method used in this study was test-type standardization; therefore, a descriptive, survey-type method has been applied. The statistical population includes 1100 students majoring in Psychology, studying at Payam-e- Noor University, South Tehran Branch, in 2016. A convenience-sampling method was used in this study, and 220 students were chosen out of the population mentioned. Cronbach 's Alpha Coefficient method was applied for data analysis; test-duplication was administered to assess validity. In order to examine the questionnaire’s reliability, both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and correlation coefficient were used. The amount obtained for Cronbach’s Alpha was 85%, and the amounts for re-examination and test duplication were .85 and .75respectively, thus it could be concluded that the questionnaire has an acceptable reliability. Both construct validity and concurrent validity were used to examine the questionnaire’s reliability. it can be said that the questionnaire has an appropriate validity based on variance scale. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the obtained factors make a significant model with their own elements and are properly acceptable. In this study, both construct and concurrent reliability were used to investigate the correlation between medical help-seeking and help-seeking behavior in general. According to the results obtained from The Pearson Correlation Coefficient, there has been a significant relationship between help-seeking and help-seeking behavior.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to analyze the structural relationships of treatment adherence based on emotional self-awareness in patients with psoriasis and to examine the mediating role of perceived social support. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included psoriasis patients referred to three specialized dermatology hospitals in Tehran. Convenience sampling was used, and ultimately, 250 psoriasis patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Various tools were utilized for data collection, including the Treatment Adherence Questionnaire (Ziaei, 2011), the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (Zimet et al., 1988), and the Emotional Self-Awareness Questionnaire (Reef et al., 2007).The results of the structural equation modeling analysis indicated that emotional self-awareness has a direct and significant effect on treatment adherence in patients with psoriasis. Additionally, perceived social support and concerns about body image also had a direct impact on treatment adherence. Furthermore, the findings revealed that emotional self-awareness indirectly and significantly affects treatment adherence through the mediation of body image concerns and perceived social support.These results highlight the importance of considering psychological and social dimensions, such as emotional self-awareness and social support, in the treatment process of patients with psoriasis, as they can improve treatment adherence and therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management training on anxiety, cognitive avoidance, and health-related quality of life in patients with chronic pain. This semi-experimental study used a pre-test-post-test design with follow-up and a control group. The statistical population consisted of patients with chronic pain in Tehran during the second half of 2023. Thirty patients were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in 10 sessions of cognitive-behavioral stress management training (Hajilu et al., 2018). To evaluate the impact of the intervention, the Beck Anxiety Inventory (1990), the Sexton and Dugas Cognitive Avoidance Scale (2004), and the Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire (2003) were administered at pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that the intervention significantly reduced anxiety and cognitive avoidance while improving health-related quality of life (P<0.05). The results suggest that cognitive-behavioral stress management training can be an effective intervention for improving the mental health and quality of life of patients with chronic pain.
