Objective: The objective of this study was to propose a structural model explaining the quality of life based on early maladaptive schemas and the mediating role of self-care in female patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This descriptive-correlational study employed structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all female patients with type 2 diabetes in Tehran who visited medical centers in 2021. The sample consisted of 250 female patients with type 2 diabetes from Tehran in 2021, selected through convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the short form of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHO, 1996), the short form of the Young Schema Questionnaire (Young, 1998), and the Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (Toobert et al., 2000). Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling and Pearson correlation methods with SPSS.22 and AMOS.22 software. Findings: Fit indices indicated a good fit of the proposed model with the data: PCFI = 0.655, PNFI = 0.661, CMIN/DF = 2.90, RMSEA = 0.089, IFI = 0.917, CFI = 0.914, GFI = 0.903. The highest coefficient (-0.47) was related to the pathway from the domain of impaired autonomy and performance to quality of life. The determination coefficient for the marital relationship quality variable in the proposed structural model was 0.889, indicating that exogenous variables could predict 89% of the changes in quality of life, which is considered strong. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the structural model explaining quality of life based on early maladaptive schemas and the mediating role of self-care in female patients with type 2 diabetes was well-fitted.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to explain the structural model of quality of life based on early maladaptive schemas and the mediating role of self-care in women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This research is classified as descriptive-correlational using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all women with type 2 diabetes in Tehran who visited healthcare centers during 2021. The sample comprised 350 women with type 2 diabetes in Tehran in 2021, selected through convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Questionnaire, the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling and Pearson correlation statistical methods with SPSS.22 and AMOS.22 software. Findings: The results showed the fit indices were PCFI=0.655, PNFI=0.661, CMIN/DF=2.90, RMSEA=0.089, IFI=0.917, CFI=0.914, and GFI=0.903, indicating a good fit of the proposed model with the data. The highest coefficient (-0.47) was attributed to the pathway from the domain of impaired autonomy and performance to quality of life. Conclusion: The coefficient of determination for the quality of marital relationship variable in the proposed structural model was 0.889, indicating that exogenous variables could predict 89% of the variations in quality of life, which is a strong prediction.

Purpose: Cultural leadership plays a vital role in more effective management and leadership of organizations. As a result, this paper aimed to provide a cultural leadership pattern in Iranian educational organizations using content analysis technique. Methodology : This study was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of execution method. The research population consisted of experts in the field of culture and management of educational organizations in Iran in 2019. According to the principle of theoretical saturation, 22 subjects were selected as sample with the purposive sampling method. The research tool was a semi-structured interview, whose validity was confirmed by triangulation method and its reliability was calculated to be 0.82 by the inter-coder agreement method. Finally, the data were analyzed based on open, axial and selective coding using the content analysis technique. Findings : Results showed that cultural leadership in Iranian educational organizations had 129 open codes or indicators, 25 axial codes or concepts, and 3 selective codes or categories. The category of individual competencies includes 13 concepts of cultural strategic thinking, cultural intelligence, cultural analysis skills, ethical orientation, fairness, jihadi spirit, rule of law, excellence, belief in cultural citizenship, managerial intelligence, charisma, self-management and artistry, the category of interpersonal competencies includes 3 concepts of creating cooperation culture, emotional and trust-building leadership and management of relationships with others and the category of organizational competencies including 9 concepts of cultural diversity management, cultural integration, equal access to cultural services, management of organizational values and beliefs, management of organizational cultural heritage, organizational traditionalism, cultural influence, cultural symbolization and cultural change agility. Finally, according to the identified categories and concepts, a cultural leadership pattern in Iranian educational organizations was designed. Conclusion : According to the results, some programs can be designed and implemented to improve the categories and concepts identified for the cultural leadership model in educational organizations to improve cultural leadership.
