Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive‒behavioural therapy on perceived stress and life satisfaction in nurses with symptoms of job burnout in 2025. Methods: The present study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and post-test, including an experimental group and a control group. Thirty nurses from hospitals in Tehran who met the inclusion criteria were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups, with 15 participants in each group. Data were collected via the Maslach Burnout Inventory (1981), the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al. (1983), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (Diener et al. (1985)). Cognitive‒behavioural therapy was administered to the experimental group in eight two-hour sessions. The data were analysed via analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS version 24. Results: Perceived stress in the experimental group decreased from 53/37 to 36/73, while the control group showed little change (38/20 to 37/53). Life satisfaction increased from 16/46 to 28/20. The findings showed that cognitive-behavioural therapy significantly reduced perceived stress and improved life satisfaction in nurses with symptoms of job burnout (P = 0/001). Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioural therapy effectively reduces perceived stress and improves life satisfaction in nurses with job burnout symptoms. The findings support the development of supportive and psychological training programs in hospitals.   Cognitive‒behavioural therapy perceived stress life satisfaction nurses. 01 0 0 http://jccs.yums.ac.ir/article-1-494-en.docx

Therefore, this study aimed to predict distress tolerance based on core self-evaluations and self-efficacy among nurses working in paediatric wards in Iran, in order to promote their mental health and job performance. Instrument & Methods This descriptive-correlational study included all nurses working in paediatric wards in North Khorasan Province in 2025. Due to the limited population size, census sampling was used, and 130 nurses participated. Data were collected using the Distress Tolerance Scale (Simons & Gaher, 2005), the Core Self-Evaluation Scale (Judge et al., 2003), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (Sherer et al., 1982). Validity was confirmed by psychology and nursing experts, and reliability was supported by acceptable Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression in SPSS version 24. Findings The findings showed a positive and significant relationship between core self-evaluations and distress tolerance (p < 0.05). However, the relationship between self-efficacy and distress tolerance was not significant (p > 0.05). Multiple regression analysis also showed that core self-evaluations significantly predicted distress tolerance, whereas self-efficacy did not. Conclusion Core self-evaluations can effectively predict nurses’ distress tolerance, whereas self-efficacy does not appear to play a significant role. Strengthening core self-evaluations may improve nurses’ ability to cope with psychological stress and enhance job performance.
