The sample size, using the Krejcie and Morgan table, was 186 individuals selected by a simple random method. The field data were collected using a standard questionnaire.
Results: Analysis of the data showed a statistically significant positive relationship between job stress and emotional fatigue (coefficient +0.514), as well as negative relationships between resilience on the one hand and job stress (coefficient -0.503) and emotional fatigue (coefficient -0.395) on the other. The findings also showed that resilience played a mediating role in the relationship between job stress and its effect on emotional fatigue.

The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation and resilience training mediated by locus of control on anger control in medical students.
Materials and Methods: This was an experimental study. The statistical population included all medical students randomly divided into three groups of 30 students each by simple and multi-stage cluster sampling. One of the experimental groups received 8 sessions of emotion regulation training and the other 8 sessions of resilience training. Data were collected on all the subjects using the Rotter locus of control and Spielberger's anger and trait questionnaires
and analyzed using repeated-measures and two-factors analysis of variance.
Results: Analysis of the data showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the emotion regulation and resilience training groups as regards anger control. In addition, the differences between the two groups as regards the locus of internal and external control in controlling anger and its subscales were also significant.
Conclusion: Teaching emotion regulation and resilience skills can, like other skills, help greatly students against the challenges of the present era.

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the most significant predictors of substance use disorders is the level of resilience in individuals. This study aimed to determine the association between resilience and substance (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs =ATOD) use disorders among young people aged 18 to 29 in Kerman city, Iran in 2022.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a multi-stage sampling method including 407 young individuals aged 18 to 29 years in Kerman city, Iran from spring to winter 2022. The sample was selected from among individuals referring to five women's and five men's hair salons and four methadone maintenance treatment centers in each district of Kerman Municipality. The date on resilience, as well as demographic information, were collected using the short-form RS-14 Resilience Scale, the ACE-8 Childhood Experiences Scale and the Substance Use Disorder questionnaires through face-to-face interviews.
Results: The likelihood of substance abuse and referral to methadone maintenance treatment centers was found to increase with age, male gender, a history of domestic violence, and lower education levels. Conversely, higher resilience was associated with decreased likelihood of substance abuse and referral to treatment centers (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the importance of developing effective programs to enhance resilience among youth, which will result in reduced risk of substance abuse. The results of this study can be used for appropriate planning and development of strategies to support youth health.
