This study wasaimed at designing and validation of a software for treating flying phobia, based on real recorded VR 360-degree films of an entire flying. At the content validity stage of the software, the population consisted of all phobia therapists and computer and media specialists, and 9 of them were selected on purpose as the samples. At the introductory intervention stage, the population comprised all subjects with flying phobia, and 10 of them were, then, randomly assigned to test and control groups. The research tools were a 360-degree camera, a VR display, and Bornas’ Fear of Flight Scale. For content validation, the software was presented to the specialists and their ratings were analyzed, which led to Cohen's Kappa Coefficient of 0.78.This seems to fit well in terms of content validity. Also, covariance analysis at the introductory intervention stage indicated that this software significantly was effective in diminishing fear of flying (P < 0.05).

The purpose of this study was to effectiveness of narrative exposure therapy on posttraumatic stress disorder and marital intimacy among women affected by marital infidelity. This semi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design with control group and follow-up 2 month. In this study the statistical population of all women affected by marital infidelity of Shahriar city in year 1400. In the first stage, using convenience sampling method, 24 women affected by marital infidelity were selected and then randomly divided into one experimental group (12 women) and one control group (12 women) were replaced and experimental group underwent narrative exposure therapy (8 sessions 90 minutes), but the control group received no training and remained in the waiting list. To collect data revised civilian Mississippi scale for posttraumatic stress disorder of Norris and Perilla and marital intimacy scale of Walker and Thompson.

استفاده از سامانه های شبیه ساز سال­ها است در حوزه های مختلف علمی و صنعتی و نظامی فراگیر بوده و این تکنولوژی (ورود به واقعیت مجازی)در حال گسترش در همه زمینه ها است. در این مقاله با استفاده از متدهای نوین و ساخت یک مکانیزم درمانی که شامل سخت افزارهای مکاترونیکی با بهره گیری از محیط گرافیکی می باشد، سعی در روند بهبود و درمان بیماران مبتلا به فوبیا (ترس از تاریکی) شده است. مکانیزم طراحی شده پس از فراهم آوردن شرایط محیطی نزدیک به محیط واقعی توسط نرم افزارها و موتورهای گرافیکی، و همچنین شبیه­سازی حرکت سر بیمار با کمک سخت افزارهای مناسب (عینک های سه بعدی و سنسورهای حرکتی چند بعدی)، احساس واقعی بودن شرایط را برای بیمار بطور کامل بوجود می آورد و فرآیند درمان را ساده می سازد. همچنین در این پژوهش پارامترهای موثر بر بیماری ترس از تاریکی با استفاده از نظر متخصصین روانپزشک و بطور جامع و مشابه به واقعیت در محیط گرافیکی شبیه سازی شده است. پس از طراحی و ساخت سامانه مذکور، آزمایشات عملی بر روی تعدادی از کودکان مبتلا به بیماری فوبیا (ترس از تاریکی) در بازه های زمانی مشخص با صلاحدید پزشک معالج، انجام شد. که نتایج آزمایشات بیانگر تاثیر به سزای این سامانه در درمان این بیماری را داشت. همچنین احساس رضایت کودکان نسبت به کار با سامانه درمانی بسیار عالی ارزیابی گردید
