The statistical population was all 18 to 60-year-olds who participated in the study during an online call. Three questionnaires including The Corona virus Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS), Hope questionnaire and Religious Beliefs questionnaire were answered online by 1,115 participants (825 women and 290 men). Data were analyzed using SPSS19 and AMOUS software. Results:The results showed that the proposed model has a good fit with the research data (75/48=X2، 13=df، 20/0=P، 75/3=X2/df، 94/0= GFI، 92/0=AGFI، 98/0=CFI، 98/0=NFI، 058/0=RMSEA و 33/518=AIC). The indirect effect of Religious Beliefs on Coronavirus Disease Anxiety mediated by Hope was significant. Also, the direct and positive effect of Religious Beliefs on Hope (with two components of strategic thinking and factor thinking) and the direct and negative effect of Hope (with two levels of strategic thinking and factor thinking) with Corona virus Disease Anxiety was significant. Conclusion: it can be said that by strengthening Religious Beliefs in individuals, it is possible to indirectly reduce the Corona virus Disease Anxiety in the epidemic conditions of this disease.

This paper aims to discover the link between religious beliefs and people’s organizational health levels in Tehran’s state universities while focusing on the mediatory role of psychological health. The research population included all of the faculty members, administrators and the staffs of Tehran state universities which 635 members were randomly selected through multistage cluster sampling. Allport religious orientation scale, Goldberg and Williams (1980) general health questionnaire and Lowe (2010) organizational health questionnaire were used in order to collect the research data. The research is of descriptive-correlational type and has been carried out through structural equation modeling and the data were analyzed using the software AMOS. The result illustrates that not only there is a significant positive relationship between religious beliefs and organizational health estimated with 99 percent of confidence, but also the religious beliefs have an indirect effect on organizational health through psychological health. It is recommended, based on empirical results of this research, that religious counseling service for university faculty members and staffs are more considered by administrators in order to promote mental health and university health.
