Abstract
Introduction: Mental health is an important psychological requirement for police force employees; therefore attention to their mental health is essential. The most important variables related to mental health include social capital, perceived social support and organizational citizenship behavior.
Objectives: The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between social capital, perceived social support and organizational citizenship behavior, and mental health of police force employees.
Results: The findings showed a negative and significant relationship between social capital (r=-0/237, P≤0/01), perceived social support (r=-0/350, P≤0/01) and organizational citizenship behavior (r=-0/414, P≤0/01), and mental health. A high score in the mental health questionnaire indicated poor mental health. Therefore an increase in organizational citizenship behavior, perceived social support and social capital increases the rate of mental health among police force employees. Also the mentioned variables could predict 26.8% of variance of mental health (R2=0/268) with the share of organizational citizenship behavior (ß=-0/304) being higher than the other variables (P≤0/01).
Discussion and Conclusion: Regarding the findings it is suggested that counselors and therapists should be employed to teach organizational citizenship behavior, perceived social support and social capital to police force employees by using appropriate educational workshops to improve their mental health.

Abstract
Introduction: Wives of veterans, due to close relationship and taking care of them, are identified as secondary or hidden victims of trauma. This indirect exposure to a stressful event brings psychological consequences for them.
Objective: The current study aimed at determining the relationship and predicting role of sleep quality and sexual self-esteem in secondary post-traumatic stress disorder among wives of veterans.
Material and Methods: The present descriptive-analytical study was performed on 152 wives of veterans with secondary post-traumatic stress disorder in Kermanshah Province, Iran in 2019. The subjects were selected by purposive sampling method. To collect data, the Pittsburgh sleep inventory, sexual self-esteem index for woman-short form (validation by Farokhi & Shareh), and secondary trauma questionnaire (STQ) were used. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25 using Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression.
Results: According to the findings, the mean ± standard deviation scores of sleep quality, sexual self-esteem, and secondary traumatic stress disorder were 13.00±3.88, 59.11±11.88, and 63.43±10.53, respectively. The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between low sleep quality and secondary traumatic stress (r= 0.345, P<0.01). In addition, there was a significant and negative correlation between sexual self-esteem and secondary traumatic stress (r = -0.298, P<0.01). The results of regression analysis showed that 32% of changes in secondary traumatic disorder can be explained by sleep quality and sexual self-esteem.
Discussion and Conclusion: Given the important role of sleep quality and sexual self-esteem in the predicting secondary traumatic stress disorder, it is suggested to consider the role of these factors in intervention programs for secondary traumatic stress disorder.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of haemovigilance training through virtual education and concept map methods on the knowledge of nurses working in a given Aja hospital.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study with three groups (virtual education, concept map, and control) was performed in 2019 on 69 nurses working in a military hospital in Tehran. The effect of education (before and after education) was investigated in the domain of knowledge. The measurement tools included a researcher-made haemovigilance knowledge questionnaire and a demographic characteristics form. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21) at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: One-way ANOVA test showed that the mean scores of knowledge before intervention were not statistically significant in all study groups (P=0.445); however, a significant difference was observed between the study groups two weeks after the educational intervention (P<0.001). In addition, the results of paired t-test showed a significant difference in the score of nurses’ knowledge in two groups of virtual education and the concept map before and after intervention (P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the scores obtained by the control group before and after intervention (P=0.386). Moreover, the level of knowledge in the e-learning group was higher than that in the concept map group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, the virtual training method was more effective than the concept map method in achieving the goals in the domain of knowledge. Therefore, it is suggested to use the virtual training method in hospitals to train the medical staff in the COVID-19 pandemic condition.
