Abstract Psychological well-being generally refers to a sense of satisfaction, happiness, and the absence of psychological stress in life. Multiple factors contribute to its development, particularly among female-headed households. In recent years, numerous studies have proposed predictive models of psychological well-being based on cognitive abilities; however, the mediating role of resilience, especially in female-headed households, has received less attention. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the fit of a predictive model of psychological well-being based on cognitive abilities, considering the mediating role of resilience among women heading households. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The statistical population consisted of all female-headed households covered by the Welfare Organization in Rafsanjan County in 2024, from which 422 participants were selected using a multistage random sampling method. Data collection instruments included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire (1989), and Nejati’s Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire (2013). The analysis indicated that the model fit indices were at an acceptable level. Cognitive abilities had a significant direct and indirect effect on psychological well-being through resilience among female-headed households (p < 0.05).

Abstract Domestic violence is considered one of the major health issues affecting individuals. Today, preventing this issue and managing cases of domestic violence have become a significant health priority worldwide. The aim of this study is to examine the interventions carried out and global experiences in preventing domestic violence and to evaluate their effectiveness.This study is a qualitative-descriptive review conducted through a systematic search of articles in reputable databases using relevant English and Persian keywords. The interventions related to domestic violence and their effectiveness were analyzed.Some interventions in the field of domestic violence in various countries focus on affected individuals, particularly women and children, and include strategies such as education, gaining support, and psychological counseling and therapy for at-risk individuals. Other interventions target healthcare system staff and support organizations to train and empower them in identifying and managing cases of domestic violence.Empowering healthcare workers for screening, diagnosing, and managing domestic violence cases, as well as educating individuals about the underlying factors contributing to violence, developing communication and coping skills, and choosing appropriate alternative behaviors in violent situations, can be significant steps in preventing or reducing domestic violence. These findings are consistent with many studies conducted in various countries.
