Introduction: The environmental characteristics of spaces providing mental health services can influence the emotions, behaviors, and thoughts of both clients and psychologists. Purpose: This study aims to identify the most crucial aspects of the physical environment in treatment rooms for clients and to compare the perspectives of therapists and clients regarding their significance. Method: This study employed a mixed-methods approach. The qualitative sample consisted of 16 experts and 19 clients, while the quantitative sample comprised 40 experts and 66 clients selected through targeted sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and a physical characteristics scale. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and independent single-sample t-tests. Findings: The most critical aspects of the physical environment in treatment rooms for clients included behavioral, artistic, and aesthetic features, as well as safety and security measures. For therapists, crucial aspects were lighting and color, ergonomic design, environmental conditions, indoor and outdoor spatial structures, lighting, sound, and air temperature. There was general agreement between therapists and clients regarding the importance of these aspects. Conclusion: Physical environmental factors are significant for both therapists and clients, although there are differences in their perspectives on certain factors. It is essential to consider their needs and psychological states when designing treatment rooms.

For this purpose, among the girls' schools of Khanmirza city, one school and then one educational level were randomly selected and evaluated. Then, out of 56 people who received lower than average scores in the research variables, 24 were randomly assigned to the experimental and waiting groups. The experimental group received 8 sessions of intervention and the waiting group did not receive any intervention until after the results were followed. The research variables were evaluated using Salehi (2014) Academic Satisfaction Questionnaire, Martin & Marsh (2008) Academic buoyancy and Salehi (2014) Academic Success Questionnaire in three stages: pre-test, post-test and follow-up. Data were analyzed by SPSS22 software. Results: The results of analysis of covariance showed that in the two stages of post-test and follow-up, there is a significant difference between the experimental group and the waiting group compared to the pre-test. Conclusion:Therefore, it can be said that time-based education has an effect on the three variables of students' satisfaction, sustainability and sense of academic success, and these effects have been stable over time. Counselors and psychologists can use the findings of the present study to teach time vision in schools and counseling centers and help students grow in this area.
