Background and Objective: Mental health is considered an inseparable part of individual and social health and well-being. The prevalence of diseases in the world shows that mental health problems are the second most debilitating factor in health. The primary health care system in the country has a very successful history in generalizing and developing mental health services. People are easily connected to this system and cooperate and participate to a large extent for the implementation of mental health programs. A large number of service packages are implemented in the country. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a detailed review and evaluation of the content of services and care packages.

Methods: In this article, the deconstruction method was used with an emphasis on the deep understanding of the contents instead of describing them and their theoretical and fundamental criticism. For this purpose, all the textual content of the Mental Health Department of the Mental and Social Health and Addiction officeof the Ministry of Health, which include 1210 pages, was analyzed and the main concepts were compiled and summarized. Finally, the extracted fundamental concepts were discussed and conclusions were drawn. The authors of the article have reported no conflicts of interest.

Results: Low level of cultural compatibility, neglect of spiritual health, outdated materials and lack of references to reliable sources were identified and confirmed.

Conclusion: It is essential to conduct a fundamental review based on scientific resources and indigenous models, aiming to enhance the mental health of the community with a preventive approach in the packages.

Background and Objective: Despite the growing diversity of parenting methods today, there is a higher rate of improper nurturing and development of human resources in many countries. Proper upbringing should be foundational, comprehensive, and inclusive of all aspects of human personality. Identifying the factors in parenting is crucial. Since individuals are deeply connected with their environmental, cultural, and regulatory frameworks, it is necessary to pay attention to these elements in parenting. Therefore, an ethics-centered parenting model aligned with the Iranian-Islamic culture can be used to enhance parenting knowledge. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an ethics-centered parenting education model on parental self-efficacy and the quality of the parent-child relationship.

Methods: This semi-experimental study was carried out using a pretest-posttest control group design with a one-month follow-up. The sample population consisted of 20 parents from Khadijeh Kobra School in Tehran, with children aged 9 to 11 years. The participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of 10 (control and experimental). Data were collected using the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale and Parent-Child Relationship Scale. The ethics-centered parenting program was implemented in 11 group sessions. Data were analyzed using mixed ANOVA. All ethical considerations were observed in this study, and the authors reported no conflicts of interest.

Results: The experimental group showed improved parental self-efficacy compared to the control group following the intervention. Additionally, the quality of parent-child relationship increased in the experimental group.

Conclusion: The proposed model can effectively support parents in enhancing their self-efficacy and improving the quality of parent-child relationship.

Background and Objective: Family, as one of the key social institutions, has received attention from various perspectives since ancient times. The functionality of families, improving the quantity and quality of marital relationships, methods of conflict resolution within marriages, and precisely what leads to the success or failure of marital relationships have not been fully deciphered yet. Therefore, for the core functions of a family to be satisfactorily fulfilled, it must possess an efficient, healthy, and sustainable structure and performance. This study aims to explore the components of a healthy family from the perspective of Islamic teachings and sources.

Methods: The current research employs content analysis method. Sterling's method of thematic network analysis was utilized for content analysis. The thematic network provides a framework akin to an organizing principle and method of representation. It systematically organizes themes into three levels: basic themes (codes and key points in the text), organizing themes (themes derived from the combination and summarization of basic themes), and global themes (comprehensive themes encompassing the governing principles of the text). These themes are then depicted as network maps resembling a web, highlighting prominent themes at each of these three levels along with their interrelationships. MAXQDA 22 software was utilized for data analysis to ensure the accuracy of the findings. The authors of the article reported no conflict of interest.

Results: Based on Islamic sources, a ’healthy family’ encompasses a set of roles and activities that spouses undertake in various life situations and paths to ensure their marital satisfaction and continuity. In fact, the Islamic model of a healthy family is rooted in the fact that the family institution is the first and most stable platform for educating and cultivating human religious and moral values.

Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the main condition for having a healthy and desirable society is the institutionalization of divine transcendent values ​​in society and the promotion of health, strengthening and stability of the family.

Background and Objective: Positive psychology, which focuses on human strengths and potential rather than on illnesses, has increasingly gained recognition in both literature and cultural discourse. Scholars in this field have categorized human strengths into six overarching virtues-wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, moderation, and transcendence known as universal virtues, each encompassing specific capacities. This study aims to explore the six virtues articulated in Martin Seligman’s theory of positive psychology and examine their corresponding capacities as represented in the supplications of Imam Sajjad (AS).

Methods: This study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach utilizing library research methods. The primary aim is to identify and interpret the components of positive psychology within the supplications and prayers of Imam Sajjad (AS). By analyzing these texts, the present research seeks to offer a novel perspective and re-examine the supplications through the framework of positive psychology. The authors of the article reported no conflict of interest.

Results: The analysis of Imam Sajjad’s (AS) supplications demonstrates a significant correspondence with the components of Martin Seligman’s positive psychology. Core elements such as gratitude, cultivating a positive relationship with God, focusing on the constructive aspects of life, and other comparable concepts in positive psychology are closely aligned with the themes and messages found in these supplications. In addition to their religious and devotional significance, the supplications encompass psychological and spiritual dimensions that are consistent with the foundational principles of Seligman’s positive psychology. These parallels offer deeper insights into Imam Sajjad’s (AS) supplications and provide a basis for integrating positive psychology concepts within a religious context.

Conclusion: The principles articulated by Martin Seligman in the field of positive psychology are reflected within the supplications of Imam Sajjad (AS) in a more complete and perfect form. These supplications constitute a rich scientific and spiritual resource that warrants acknowledgment and deeper appreciation.

Background and Objective: Since Hadith al-Kisa is a transnational, timeless, and trans-spatial document with criteria for entry and exit, initially validated by God, the Prophet, and Gabriel, and then widely accepted and reliably narrated in both Shia and Sunni sources, it can be used as a credible Islamic resource to promote religious and spiritual principles and values in family communications and help strengthen parent-child relationships in the modern era. Therefore, this study aims to explore the framework of honorable living in parent-child relationships with an emphasis on the Hadith al-Kisa.

Methods: This study is a library-based qualitative case study that examines the principles and values of Hadith al-Kisa and its role in shaping parent-child relationships. Through content analysis of the Hadith al-Kisa, it explains honorable and effective living in family interactions. The authors reported no conflicts of interest.

Results: The results indicate that Hadith al-Kisa is an effective model for enhancing parent-child relationships. Explaining honorable living based on this hadith can contribute to improving family life quality and fostering a society with elevated moral values.

Conclusion: The findings of this research lead to increased awareness and understanding of effective and dignified family communications. It helps parents (and educators, counselors, and psychologists) to use religious resources as guides for raising children in today's complex world and strengthening parent-child relationships.

Background and Objective: The affliction of children with various diseases and the resulting pain and suffering is one of the issues that families and children face. Given the limited information available about the causes of illnesses in children and considering the high prevalence of diseases in children and their threatening nature, it is very important to assess the factors that cause illness in children and introduce prevention and spiritual care strategies. This study aims to examine the causes of suffering and illness in children and to introduce spiritual care strategies from the perspective of the Holy Quran and medical science.

Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted by reviewing Islamic sources such as the Holy Quran, the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), electronic databases like Jame' al-Tafasir and Jame' al-Ahadith, as well as searching for scientific articles in databases like SID, Magiran, IranDoc, and ScienceDirect using keywords such as child, prevention strategies, disease, devil, and spiritual care over the past 10 years.

Results: Based on the findings obtained from the verses of the Holy Quran and the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), causing harm and illness to humans from childhood is one of the goals pursued by the devil; because childhood is the best time for learning and investing spiritually, psychologically, and physically in all areas of progress and elevation. Additionally, besides factors such as prenatal disorders, chromosomal disorders, birth injuries, pregnancy abnormalities, and immune deficiencies, the devil is also recognized as a cause of suffering and illness in children.

Conclusion: The findings indicate that the devil, as one of humanity's ancient enemies, is a factor in creating pain, suffering, and illness in children. Prevention and spiritual care strategies during the pre-pregnancy period, such as praying, performing prayers, and giving alms; during pregnancy, such as consuming halal and healthy food; and after the birth of the child, such as performing prayers on time, praying, giving alms, and reading Quranic stories play a significant role in the embryonic stages, giving birth to a healthy child, and promoting health, treatment, and recovery in children.
