The dispersion of study results reveals the need for research on the consequences of social support to achieve a relatively comprehensive picture of the findings and challenges. The purpose of study is classification of the variables related to the consequences of social support in Iranian society. The method used is systematic review. The statistical population included published scientific articles addressing issue of social support and its consequences. Related articles were searched in Iranian scientific databases. Based on the inclusion criterion, the most relevant articles with the objectives of the study (40 articles) were selected. To access the data of the articles, the data extraction worksheets were designed and adjusted in the form of twelve indicators and were completed based on the coding and annotations of each worksheet. After reviewing and comparing the worksheets for each article, the obtained data were collected and analyzed as well. A systematic review shows that the variable of social support as the variable studied in this study has been studied in relation to 18 variables; The variables identified as social support consequences in the reviewed studies are classified and summarized in four types of physical consequences, psychological consequences, social consequences and cultural-attitudinal consequences. Psychological, social, and cultural-attitudinal variables separately have the highest frequency in 12.5% of cases and physical variables in 2.5% of cases have the least importance among the authors of the researched researches. Mental health and quality of life were the most repeated among the consequences of social support in the reviewed articles.

Social support is one of the studied variables in psychological and social sciences. Social support promotes the mental health and well-being of individuals by influencing various individual and social areas and helps the individual to face problems. This study was about identifying the themes affecting social support from the perspective of psychotherapists. This research is considered as a qualitative research in terms of applied purpose and method. The research sample consisted of 18 psychologists and therapists who were working in Qom province in 1400. Sampling was done purposefully. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather information. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation and no new findings were found. Thematic analysis method was used to analyze the interviews. The results showed that the factors at the therapist level (skill elements), at the school level (educational elements), at the community level (social-legal elements), at the family level (interactive elements) at the parents level ( Interpersonal-subsistence elements), at the individual level (personality elements) were the themes affecting social support from the perspective of psychotherapists. Discussion: Social support from different dimensions and angles of human life can be analyzed and evaluated and the need to pay attention to this component from the perspective of experts and thinkers in various fields related to human beings is essential.

The aim of this study was to predict self-harming in adolescent girls based on irrational beliefs, emotional dysregulation and social support. The statistical population of this descriptive-correlational study included all 12- to 19-year-old self-harming female students in Tehran in the academic year 2019 who they were studying in public schools, from which 150 people who scored a standard deviation above the average in the Inventory of Statements About Self-Injury were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Jones (1968) Irrational Beliefs Questionnaire, the Gratz and Roemer (2004) Disacceptance of Emotional Responses Scale, and the Zimet et al.'s (1988) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. There is a positive and significant relationship between helplessness against change, expecting approval from others, avoiding problems and emotional irresponsibility with self-harming; there is a positive and significant relationship between non - acceptance of emotional responses, limited access to emotion regulation strategies during pressure, difficulty in performing targeted behaviors during pressure, lack of awareness, emotional clarity and difficulty in controlling shocks under pressure with self-harming and there is a positive and significant relationship between between family, community and family with self-harming (p<0.05). In addition, components of expectations from others are the ability, limited access to emotional regulation strategies, the difficulty of controlling the ability to predict self - harming (p<0.05). This study seems to have an important role in the relationship between self - harming with irrational beliefs, emotional dysregulation and social support in adolescent girls.

The dispersion of the study results reveals the need for a systematic review of research on mental health determinants in order to achieve a relatively comprehensive picture of the findings and challenges of the study. The purpose of this study is to identify and classify the variables related to mental health in Iranian society. The main question of the study is that in domestic research in 2006-2010, the subject of mental health has been considered by social science researchers in relation to what variables? Systematic review of 30 selected research articles shows that mental health is affected by 36 variables in four types of social, cultural, contextual and psychological, the product of social and cultural conditions. Social variables have the highest frequency in 36.6% of cases and psychological variables in 23.4% of cases have the least importance among the authors of the reviewed studies. This result indicates the importance of social conditions and confirms the global scientific findings regarding the greater share of social determinants - than individual and psychological determinants - in health and disease, and in particular health and mental illness. Cultural and contextual variables each separately in 30% of studies have attracted the attention of researchers. Lack of executive solution in studies, refusal of domestic researchers to use qualitative and interpretive methods, and disregard for the type of relationship between political structure and components with mental health are among the most central aspects neglected in the reviewed research.

Along with population aging the gerontological social work, as a specialist area of social work practice, has become significant for research and policy. Well-being and life satisfaction among elderly are important and key issue in the gerontological social work. This article aims to assess the life satisfaction of the elderly and its related factors. The data were collected by a survey among 600 elderly aged 60 and over in the 22 districts of Tehran, who selected through a multistage probability sampling. The mean age of the elderly was 70 years old, 17% of the elderly were illiterate, and 16% of them lived alone. The results indicate a decrease in life satisfaction in the elderly with age. The results of the multivariate analysis revealed that health status, social support, age, employment status, education, and SES had a significant effect on life satisfaction of elderly people and explained 37% of variance in life satisfaction of elderly people. Hence, poor health statuses, lack of social support and poor financial resources have the greatest impact on the satisfaction of the elderly. Social protection of the family and government support and welfare programs can play an important role in increasing the happiness and life satisfaction in old age.
