The present study aimed to investigate frequency of obstructive sleep apnea and its related factors in elderly. Material & Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 175 elderly lived in personal homes that were selected using cluster sampling method in 2014. The Berlin questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed by independent T-test and Chi-square tests in SPSS (version 18) Statistical software and P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of samples in this survey was 68.5 ± 7.5 years. The results of this study showed that 49 persons (28%) were at high risk for Obstructive sleep apnea. There was also a significant correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and gender (P=0.038), smoking (P=0.001) and neck size (P=0.007).

Material & Methods: This research was a descriptive-correlational study and 193 married female nurses were selected using stratified proportional sampling method from Imam Khomeini, Golestan, Shafa, Arya and Mehr hospitals of Ahvaz,Iran. Participants completed Beck Depression Inventory-II, Ruminative Response Scale, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, and Self-compassion Scale-short form. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and concurrent hierarchical regression analysis and using SPSS-16 software. Results: Pearson correlation coefficients showed that there were significant negative correlations between self-compassion with depression, rumination and worry variables and there were significant positive correlations between worry and  rumination with depression variables (p<0.05). Also, hierarchical regression analysis by Baron and Kenny method and Sobel test showed that worry and thought rumination are mediators between self-compassion and depression.
