“…The scale produces a total score, with higher scores representing greater self-efficacy (27). The Farsi version of the questionnaire has been used in several previous studies and proven to be a valid and reliable measure [Cronbach's alpha = 0.85; (28,29)]. Cronbach's alpha in the current sample was = 0.89.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with increased uncertainty, fear and worry in everyone's life. The effect of changes in daily life has been studied widely, but we do not know how emotion-regulation strategies influence adaptation to a new situation to help them overcome worry in the face of uncertainty. Here, 1,064 self-selected Farsi speaking participants completed an online battery of questionnaires that measured fear of virus and illness, worry, intolerance of uncertainty, and emotion regulation (two subscales: reappraisal, suppression). We also documented the number of daily COVID-19 cases and deaths due to COVID-19 on the day in which participants completed the questionnaire. Our findings suggest a correlation between contamination fear and the number of daily-confirmed cases (r = 0.11), and the number of reported deaths due to COVID-19 (r = 0.09). Worry mediated the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and fear of virus and illness (b = 0.16, 0.1141 < CI < 0.2113). In addition, suppression moderated the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and worry (p < 0.01). Our results suggest that suppression (at least in the short term) can be an adaptive response to the worry associated with uncertainty. Suppression can reduce worry, which in turn can decrease fear of contamination and improve adaptation to social distancing requirements. Although, the observed correlations were significant, but considering the sample size, they are not strong, and they should be interpreted cautiously.

“…The general self-e cacy questionnaire (GSES), which included 17 items, was used for self-e cacy [20]. The Cronbach's Alpha obtained from the pilot data was 0.79 for the self-e cacy questionnaire [21]. Also, the self-compassion questionnaire by Neff (including 26 items) was used for self-compassion [22].…”

Introduction: The premenopausal period causes many mental and physical problems in women due to hormonal changes. Education can be effective in adapting to this transitional period. This study aimed to assess the effect of health belief model-based training on the self-compassion and self-efficacy of premenopausal women. Method: This randomized clinical trialincluded 90 Iranian women (45 intervention and 45 control) in their premenopausal period (40-50 years old), referred to comprehensive health centers in 2021. The intervention group was trained in four sessions using Skype software based on dimensions of the health belief model. The primary and key secondary outcomes were self-efficacy and self-compassion, which were assessed using questionnaires three times: before, immediately, and one month after intervention. The data were analyzed with SPSS 27 using the ITT method. Result: The results showed that most women in each group were aged 45-50. According to the results, immediately and one month after the intervention, self-efficacy (MD(SDD):43.91(0.83);P<0.001), self-compassion(MD (SDD):59.46(0.83) ;P<0.001), or the total score of the health belief model (MD (SDD):58.12(0.81) ;P<0.001)were significantly different between the two groups . Conclusion: This study showed that the level of self-efficacy and self-compassion of premenopausal women increased after education based on the health belief model.
