The continuing spread of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has psychological effects on many individuals. One of these effects is the fear of COVID-19. In this study, it is aimed to examine the fear of COVID-19 in terms of spiritual well-being. In addition, the fear of COVID-19 was examined within the framework of gender, age range, education, income level, whether there is someone diagnosed with COVID-19 nearby and marital status. The study group of the research consisted of 474 adults (261 females, 213 males) were selected by the convenient sampling method. The research method is the correlational survey model. Data was obtained using the Demographic Information Form, the Spiritual Well-being Scale, and the COVID-19 Fear Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test for independent groups, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation test and regression analysis were used in the study. Group comparison analysis revealed that women experienced higher levels of fear of the coronavirus. While those with postgraduate education reported significantly lower levels of fear of the coronavirus than those with other education levels. Fear of the coronavirus did not differ according to the age range, income level, and marital status of the participants. According to the results of the correlation analysis, a negative correlation between the fear of coronavirus and spiritual well-being and sub-dimension of spiritual well-being “transcendence” was found; and a positive correlation between the fear of the coranavirus and the sub-dimension of spiritual well-being “anomie” was found. Regression analysis showed that “anomie” positively predicted the fear of coronavirus. The findings of the research were discussed within the scope of the related literature.

Background: Among all aspects of nursing care, the spiritual one is the issue that has received little attention. Having spiritual wellbeing (SWB) is a necessity to provide appropriate spiritual care. In addition to, the Emotional intelligence (EI) is one of the most important factors in social and professional success and is essential for effective nursing practice. Therefore, aim of study was evaluating the Relationship between SWB and EI among nursing students. Methods: The sample of this descriptive-analytic study consisted of 136 nursing students studying at Bam University of Medical Sciences selected by convenience sampling method. The Bradberry and Greaves 28-item EI scale, Palutzian and Ellison SWB Scale were used to assess the total score of EI and SWB. Collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test and one-way ANOVA with SPSS v18. Results: The mean score of SWB and EI were 97.1±11.56 and 123.4 + 123.6, respectively. The mean score dimensions of SWB include (religious wellbeing 47.9±6.6, existential wellbeing 49.1±5.7) and dimensions EI: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management were 27.2 3 3.2, 36.2 2 5.4, 25.1 + 3.5 and 35.1 + 4.5, respectively. The majority of students have reported moderate level SWB and high level of emotional intelligence. The factors influencing their level of SWB were academic semester and age (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the level of students' EI and SWB were at a desirable level in this study, due to the nature of nursing and the interaction between nurses and patients, providing a suitable learning environment for the development of EI is essential. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing policymakers should develop appropriate educational programs for nurses and provide curriculum for students to promote their knowledge and skills.

There is also high positive co relational between well-being and consciousness scores (r=0.42, p<0.01). Thus increases in consciousness and religious scores led to increase in well=being scores among young adolescents. Multiple regression analysis was also used (R=0.46) and it showed that Consciousness has highest contribution in determination of criterion variable i.e. well-being, the regression coefficient being 0.15. Religiosity has less contribution and locus of control has negligible contribution, the regression coefficient being 0.05 and 0.003 respectively.

This study aims to identify the factors affecting representativeness, conservatism, and overconfidence biases in a sample of Turkish institutional investors. In difference to other studies, especially the individual investments of institutional investors in capital markets are focused on. The respondents who are selected with the method of convenience sampling are asked survey questions. In the study, models are formed with the stepwise method using linear regression analysis, and survey questions that are assumed to represent the examined biases are selected as the dependent variable. The age, gender, marital status, education, whether or not having children, and experience of institutional investors are included in the analysis as the independent variables. This way, which of the independent variables that are found to be statistically significant and the subcategories of these independent variables are most influential on the biases is revealed. As a result of the analysis, in addition to determining the variables that affect a single bias, it is understood that the variable of education level affects all examined biases, and especially the effect of low education levels on the examined biases is higher. In the regression analysis, experience is identified as a significant variable affecting representativeness and conservatism biases. It is observed that especially the institutional investors who are inexperienced or less experienced interact with these two biases more in their decisions related to their individual investments. Gender is found to be significant variable on both conservatism and representativeness biases, especially it was understood that female institutional investors were more effective than men on the representativeness and conservatism bias. Furthermore, it is determined that the marital status variable and the divorced institutional investors as a subcategory of this variable are significantly influential on conservatism and overconfidence biases.

Introduction: Spiritual well-being, as one of the basic concepts about how to deal with the problems and tensions caused by different conditions of life, is one of the dimensions of health that integrates its other dimensions. Therefore, considering the importance of this dimension of health in the lives of students, we aimed to investigate the status of spiritual well-being and its relationship with religious behaviors among students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd in 2017. Methods: This is a correlational and descriptive cross-sectional study conducted on 420 students in Yazd University of Medical Sciences. Random stratified sampling method was used to select the participants from each school. The sample size was determined based on the number of students. The data collection tool was a standard spiritual health questionnaire and religious behaviors. Data were analyzed by descriptive and quantitative distribution as well as Chi-square, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation tests using SPSS. Results: The participants' mean age was 20.93 ± 3.61 years. The results showed a significant relationship between religious behaviors and marital status (p <0.040). Spiritual well-being had a significant relationship with gender and mother's level of education (p <0.05). We found that 67% of students had moderate level of spiritual health. A positive and significant correlation was also observed between spiritual well-being and religious behaviors among students (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that the students were in good condition in terms of spiritual wellbeing, but their status was not desirable in terms of religious behaviors. Considering the correlation between spiritual health and religious behaviors in students, serious attention should be paid in designing  students' curriculum based on cultural issues.
