Abstract
Aims: Family members are the main components of the care system for injured spinal cord patients. Taking care of such patients is a tense responsibility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between humor and subjective well-being with regard to the mediating role of resilience in caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury. Instruments & Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 219 caregivers of spinal cord injured patients referred to Borna Scientific-Sport Institute in Isfahan in 2016 were selected using available sampling. Data were collected using Subjective Well-Being Scale (SWBS), Resilience Scale and Sense of Humor Questionnaire (SHQ). Data analysis was performed by Amos 18 software, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Bootstrap test. Finding: Correlation between humor and resilience with subjective well-being was significant (p<0.001). The proposed model was good-fitting model (p<0.05). There was also a significant indirect relationship between humor and subjective well-being through resilience (β=0.22; p<0.006). Conclusion: Psychological resilience in relationship between humor and subjective well-being as mediator plays an important role in improving the psychological state of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Aims:Hospitals and medical staff play a major role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychological resilience of the staff and the organizational climate of Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad and the relationship between the two during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods:The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Autumn 2021 with 300 employees of Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Lyle Sussman and Sam Deep’s Organizational Climate Questionnaire were utilized for data collection. Multiple linear regression was used to estimate the association between organizational climate and psychological resilience. The data analysis was conducted using Stata 15. Results: Based on the obtained findings,the Mean (SD) age of participants was 34.05 (7.50) years, and their work experience averaged 9.22 (6.94) years. Psychological resilience and organizational climate had a Mean (SD) score of 66.04 (11.92) and 53.83 (14.72), respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between age, work experience, and psychological resilience. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that after controlling for the effects of age and work experience, there was a significant positive association between the organizational climate and the psychological resilience of the hospital staff. Conclusion: This study found a significant positive association between organizational climate and psychological resilience among the hospital staff. Specifically, factors such as clarity of goals, role clarity, satisfaction with rewards, effective communication, and agreement on procedures contributed to greater resilience. These findings underscore the importance of adopting an integrated approach that considers the dimensions of organizational climate to enhance the resilience of the hospital staff, ultimately improving the hospital management to better prepare for crises.
