Abstract
Background and purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of psychological well-being on academic burnout through the mediation of achievement goals.
Research method: The method of the current research was the correlation design through structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all students of psychology and educational sciences of the Faculty of Humanities, Islamic Azad University of Qom in the academic year 2019-1400, who were selected by available sampling method in the number of 440 people. In order to collect data, three questionnaires were used: Moslesh's academic burnout, Rif's psychological well-being, and Midgley's and colleagues' progress goals. Pearson correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling were used for data analysis.
Findings: The findings showed that psychological well-being with a standard coefficient of 0.60 was effective on goal orientation and with a standard coefficient of -0.25 on academic burnout. Also, goal orientation with a standard coefficient of -0.55 was effective on academic burnout. All effects were significant at P>0.001 level. The results showed that psychological well-being has an effect on academic burnout through the mediation of achievement goals.
Conclusion: In order to reduce academic burnout, it is suggested to the experts in the field of education to pay special attention to the components of psychological well-being and goal orientation in students.

Abstract
| This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused and mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), combined with physiotherapy, on psychological well-being and executive functions among elderly individuals suffering from chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis. The research followed a quasi-experimental design with pretest, posttest, and follow-up assessments, along with a control group. The statistical population included elderly individuals over 60 years old diagnosed with chronic osteoarthritic pain, selected through purposive sampling. A total of 45 participants were randomly assigned to two intervention groups and one control group. The intervention groups received compassion-focused and mindfulness-based CBT, either with or without physiotherapy. Data were collected using Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale and the Stroop Executive Function Test and analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis and Bonferroni post hoc tests. Findings indicated that the interventions, particularly the combined CBT with physiotherapy, significantly improved components of psychological well-being (self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy) and executive functions. These effects remained stable at follow-up. Although improvements were observed in personal growth, environmental mastery, and purpose in life, no significant differences were found between the two intervention groups in these dimensions. Effect size analysis suggested a large clinical impact. Overall, the results support the integration of psychotherapy and physiotherapy as an effective approach to promoting mental health and cognitive functioning in elderly patients with chronic pain. |
