Abstract
The aim of this study was to explain obsessive-compulsive symptoms according to disgust, anxiety and depression in a non-clinical sample. one hundred students (50 girls, 50 boys) were included in this study. All participants were asked to complete Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), Disgust Scale (DS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means, standard deviations, Pearson' correlation coefficients and regression analyses. The results revealed that disgust, anxiety and depression were significantly positively correlated with total obsessive-compulsive scores in both males and females. The results of regression analysis showed checking and doubt symptoms were best predicted by state-trait anxiety, while washing were best predicted by disgust. These findings are in line with the hypothesis of a specific relationship between disgust and at least some kinds of obsessive symptoms.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based therapy in improving job resilience, job performance, and anger control in emergency department nurses. The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population included nurses working in the emergency department of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Khalkhal city in 1403-1404. After applying the entry and exit criteria, 30 people were randomly assigned to two equal groups: control and intervention (mindfulness therapy). The measurement tools included the job resilience questionnaire, anger control skills questionnaire, and job performance questionnaire, and mindfulness-based intervention sessions. The results clearly showed that the implementation of the mindfulness-based therapy package significantly increased job resilience, improved anger control, and improved job performance in emergency department nurses. The findings of the study provide evidence of the effectiveness of this intervention in stressful work environments and can strengthen management and educational strategies in the nursing field to reduce anger and increase resilience
