According to the increasing statistics of divorce in Iran, we see a large number of children of divorce who are involved in many social, psychological and emotional injuries, which have been given less attention. Social workers as experts can play an effective role in reducing these harms. The purpose of the study is to explain the importance and role of social work in working with children. The main question of this research is whether the effectiveness of social work interventions on children of divorce has been considered? Using a Meta-Synthesis, this paper selected and analyzed 25 English and Persian studies on the impact of social service interventions on of children from divorced families during 1970-2020.Based on the findings, the researches were categorized into three areas: the negative consequences of parental divorce on children, the interventions made regarding divorced children, and the role of social work. The researches show that the interventions carried out were in the field of children's mental and emotional problems and less attention was paid to children's social issues. If specialized services are not provided to the children of divorce, the effects of the parents' divorce will be institutionalized, and removing them will cost a lot for individual and society. Social workers are one of the groups that importance of their role and specialized services has been paid less attention in researches. They can provide appropriate services to families and children to prevent possible harm or if problems arise, children will be less harmed in divorce.

Fatalism is believing in the impact of superhuman power or external forces like chance/luck in life. This research was conducted for a comparative study of fatalism among disabled and non-disabled people. In this research, a survey method was used. 200 people with physical disabilities, cerebral palsy (CP) and blindness and 200 non-disabled people from Yazd in 2018 were selected. Available quote sampling method was used to select disabled people and systematic cluster sampling was used to select non-disabled people. Data collection tools include the responsibility scale of Ahmadi Akhorme et.al (1392), the ability of Peterson and Seligman (2004), Weissman & Beck`s (1978) dysfunctional attitudes and researcher questioner made by fatalism. Data were analyzed in two independent groups by statistical mean difference, T-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and multivariate regression test. The average fatalism is 48.3 in disabled people and 45 in non-disabled people. The result of hypothesis showed that the measure of fatalism is higher in disabled people. In disabled people, there was a significant/meaningful relationship between fatalism and the studied variables such as education (with meaningful level, age, severity of disability, inefficient attitudes, empowerment and responsibility. In non-disabled people, there was a meaningful relationship between fatalism and inefficient attitude variables and empowerment, but there wasn’t any significant relationship between fatalism and other studied variables. The result of regression analysis showed that inefficient attitude variables and ability had the greatest effect on fatalism in disabled and non-disabled people and only people and only 16 percent of Variance explains fatalism.
