This study aimed at evaluating the effect of employees’ mental health on responsibility who work in Sarableh Hospital, with the mediating role of service morale. This research was applied in terms of its purpose and nature, descriptive-correlational in terms of method, and field (survey) in data collection. The statistical population in this study includes all staff of the Sarableh Hospital in autumn 2018, and 170 people were selected according to the statistics of the University of Medical Sciences. The required sample size was estimated through the Morgan table as 115 ones who were selected by simple random sampling from the statistical population. For data collection, three mental health questionnaires with a reliability coefficient of 0.448, responsibility with a coefficient of 0.548, and service morale with a coefficient of 0.481 were also used. The structural equation modeling using PLS and SPSS software was utilized to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that mental health positively affects responsibility and accounts for 31% of changes in responsibility variability. It has an indirect effect on responsibility through the mediating variable of service morale, and 36% of the total effect of mental health on responsibility is demonstrated through the mediating variable of service morale.

Job stress has serious consequences for both workers and employers. Stress is an effective factor in organizational inefficiency, manpower turnover, job absenteeism, reduction in quality and quantity of work, increase in health care costs and decrease in job satisfaction. Numerous studies over the past few decades have shown that organizational or occupational tasks that are fraught with overwork and excessive needs and responsibilities lead to many health risks. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job stress and mental health by emphasizing the mediating role of coping strategies in formal and contractual experts of Zanjan Jihad Agricultural Organization, because the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture is one of the most important and key ministries. It is the government that has great missions in the field of food security and self-sufficiency in the production of basic products and export development of agricultural products, following the various principles of the country''s constitution, the provisions of the 20-year vision document, and many articles of the Fourth Development Plan law.

Recent research highlights the importance of art in the educational process and its benefits in the holistic psycho-emotional development of the individual. Current literature focuses mainly on visual arts and music, while studies on dance and its contribution to mental health have increased only recently. The aim of the present study was to analyze recent literature that correlates the art of dance with mental resilience. In particular, the contribution of dance during school age was studied with particular emphasis on the mechanisms of development of mental resilience in students who are characterized by cultural diversity. This literature review was conducted in electronic databases, which was basically due to the restrictions imposed during the pandemic period. The duration of the study was 7 months, from November 2020 to May 2021. The results of the study showed that research activity on the effect of dance on mental resilience has not been adequately assessed. However, certain characteristics of mental resilience studied in relation to dance seem to contribute positively to the holistic psycho-emotional development of children by providing multiple benefits. It has been found that dance works beneficially and holistically across all ages, genders, socio-cultural, and socio-economic environments. It would be useful to plan more research to evaluate the effect of dance in greater depth and also in relation to more factors of psycho-emotional development.
