Abstract Resilience plays an important role in coping with career and marital challenges, so strengthening this characteristic can play a significant role in improving the psychological state and job performance of individuals. Therefore, identifying the predictors of resilience seems essential. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cognitive flexibility on resilience with the mediating role of marital adjustment in married female nurses. This fundamental study was conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach and a correlation method based on the structural equation model. The statistical population included 400 married female nurses working in health centers and public hospitals in Alborz province, who were selected using a multistage cluster sampling method. The research tools included the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, the Dennis and Vander Waal Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire, and the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24 software. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Alborz University of Medical Sciences with the ID IR.ABZUMS.REC.1401.297. Participants participated in the study after providing informed consent and the confidentiality of their data was guaranteed. The results showed that cognitive flexibility (r = 0/762) and marital adjustment (r = 0/796) have a positive and significant relationship with resilience at a confidence level of 0/01. Also, the mediating role of marital adjustment in the relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience was confirmed. The appropriate fit of the data with the conceptual model of the study was confirmed. The findings showed that in order to improve the resilience of married female nurses, it is necessary to pay attention to cognitive, emotional and affective factors. Accordingly, it is suggested that policymakers and health managers design and implement programs to improve these factors.

Abstract Resilience, as one of the key personality traits in coping with occupational and marital challenges, plays an important role. Identifying factors that enhance this trait can improve individuals' mental health and performance. Therefore, examining the variables that predict resilience seems essential. This study is a basic, descriptive-analytical research using a correlational approach and structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of 400 married female nurses working in public healthcare centers and hospitals in Alborz province, selected through multistage cluster sampling. The research tools included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the short version of the Self-Differentiation Scale (Skowron & Smith), and the Locke-Walsh Marital Adjustment Scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Alborz University of Medical Sciences (IR.ABZUMS.REC.1401.297). Participants voluntarily participated in the study, and their data confidentiality was ensured. The results showed that self-differentiation (r=0/712) and marital adjustment (r=0/796) had a significant positive relationship with resilience at a confidence level of (0/01). Moreover, the mediating role of marital adjustment in the relationship between self-differentiation and resilience was confirmed. The results indicated that the data fit the conceptual model of the study. The findings suggest that for enhancing resilience in married nurses, policymakers in the health sector should pay more attention to the emotional, cognitive, and emotional factors of this group.

Abstract .The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between love styles and attachment styles with the marital adjustment of married women working in education in Tehran. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study included all married women working in education in Tehran in 1403 (2024). Cluster and random sampling methods were used. The participants completed the Attitude toward Love (Love Styles) Questionnaire (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986), the Attachment Questionnaire (Collins & Reid, 1990), and the Marital Adjustment Questionnaire (Spanier, 1976). To examine the relationships between the research variables, the Pearson correlation method was used, and to analyze the nature of these relationships, multivariate regression was applied using the latest version of SPSS-28 software.The results revealed a significant correlation between attachment styles and marital adjustment, as well as between love styles and marital adjustment among married women working in education in Tehran. According to the findings, there was a positive and significant relationship between the love styles of Eros, Storge, Pragma, and Agape with marital adjustment, while a negative and significant relationship was found between the love styles of Ludus and Mania with marital adjustment. According to the significance level, Eros love style (with an impact coefficient of 0.284), Ludus (with an impact coefficient of -0.14), Storge (with an impact coefficient of 0.29), Pragma (with an impact coefficient of 0.12), Mania (with an impact coefficient of -0.14), and Secure attachment style (with an impact coefficient of 0.09) were able to predict marital adjustment. However, Agape love style, as well as avoidant and anxious attachment styles, were not able to predict marital adjustment.

The results showed that the correlation coefficient between sexual satisfaction (0.37**) and spiritual well-being (0.31**) with marital adjustment was significant at the level of 0.01. Spiritual well-being also had a moderating role in the relationship between sexual satisfaction and marital adjustment (P <0.05).
