This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sources or statistical society of this research includes all the qualitative and quantitative research, published both in the Persian and in English, conducted on the social dimensions of mourning during the Covid-19 between December 2019 and May 2023. Based on the entry-exit criteria of the articles, 287 articles were obtained, and after searching, screening and qualitative evaluation of the studies, at the end of the final synthesis, 28 articles were selected. According to the findings of this research, 71.43% of the selected articles were done by qualitative methods and 28.57% by quantitative methodologies. The most used tool was the interview with which 60.71% of the articles had been done. Regarding the practical solutions and suggestions extracted from the studies, the highest frequently suggested approach was the emphasis on the necessity of developing a culture of condolence and virtual mourning and memorial ceremonies to support the survivors (32.14%). Also, the highest level in the distribution of categories was related to the category of disruption in the process of mourning rituals which was 21.43%. The results of this research show that people's reaction to bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic is closely related to social and cultural aspects, and despite the importance of the social aspects of bereavement and health, more attention has been paid to its psychological and physical aspects.

The continuity and development of any science depends on the research that is done in that field. Stagnation in research in a scientific field paves the way for stagnation in that field of knowledge, and dynamism in research guarantees the development of that science and the growth of its scholars. Therefore, in order to be aware of the position of a scientific discipline in the current situation, what process it has gone through so far and what is its perspective, it needs to do some Internal analysis. To achieve this, the sum of research conducted in a scientific field should be recognized as the subject or domain for an independent critical research. The present research is an attempt has been made to critically examine the academic research conducted in the field of social work in Iran during five decades of the research life of this field. However, in conducting such research, not only these considerations have been satisfied, but also a redoubled effort has been made to investigate the thematic relationship of the laws passed with this discipline in the framework of an institutional relationship. Quantitative content analysis method has been used to examine both areas. In applying this method, 645 academic researches and 169 legal documents have been used as valid sources of data collection. Among the findings of this study, we can mention the relationship between the institution of science and the institution of legislation, which has experienced convergences and divergences during the period under review.

Studies in Iran show that despite the country's appropriate ranking in knowledge production, this capacity is not used in the national interest. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of explaining and scrutinizing the current situation of the effectiveness of social work research and strategies to improve this effectiveness.This research was conducted qualitatively and the required data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews with experts. A total of 10 individual interviews and one group interview were analyzed. The sampling method of the interviewees was targeted. The findings of the present study, according to experts, show that despite some valuable examples, the effectiveness of research is far from the expected level. Research effectiveness has been low. Therefore, it is appropriate for policy makers, also managers, and other responsibles in both sectors to take action to eliminate or reduce obstacles. Relevant policy recommendations have been provided in this regard.

None Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in child labour, work with an expanded vulnerable children group. This organizations play a vital role in optimal development and nurturing of child labour as well as in restoration and rehabilitation of them. This study aimed to design and provide a social service administration model to work with children labour. A qualitative study based on thematic analysis was used in this research. We used a semi-structured, in-depth interviews, focous groups and participant observation to gather the data.The participants in this study were (a) administers, experts or practitioners, and volunteers who were active in related to NGOs in Tehran (21 people) and (b) Children labour that were members of Tehran NGOs (9 children). A thematic analysis was used in this study and finally we reached to three main themes: (a) Knowledge based assisstance, (b) Participatory regulation system, and (c) Wisdom based utilization through community capacities. In conclusion, in line with related theories, we tried to see the relation between different themes in this study and present a social service administration model in working with child labour. We invite more research on how this social service administration model can be used in NGOs and working on children labour.

This study aimed to assess the application of a task-centered model in social work on children labour’s tendency to high risk behaviors. Trough using a Randomized Controlled Trial, 30 children labour aged 13 15 years with higher risk behaviors based on Iranian adolescent risk questionnaire were recruited in to the intervention and control groups (each one = 15). We applied the intervention based on Professor Garvin's (1974) task-centered group protocol during 10 sessions. Iranian questionniar of tendency to high risk behaviors was used to measure dependent variables, comparing pre, and post measures between the groups and within each group. ANCOVA test was applied to analyze the data. The results showed that in pre-test, there were no significant differences between the groups in term of tendency to high risk behaviors and its dimensions and its domains but in post tests, there were significant differences. In conclusion, the task-centerd model in social work can be effective in reducing the high risk behaviours among children labour.

Abstract This study investigated the effects of spiritual intelligence training on the resilience of women in female-headed households in Yazd. The population consists of female heads of households who were supported by the Imam Khomeini Relief Foundation in 2016. Thirty women were randomly selected and then randomly divided into two equal groups, experimental and control. The data was collected using Connor & Davidson’s Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The experimental group received eight weekly sessions of spiritual intelligence training based on the package by Bowl (2004) and then both groups completed the post-test. Data analysis was done through an ANCOVA. The results indicated a significant increase in all components of resilience, namely personal strength, control and secure connections, at mean scores of subjects in the experimental groups on the post-test.
