Background: Raising children with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) is a stressful experience that may influence the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of parents of children with SLD. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of locus of control in the relationship of parenting stress and spiritual well-being with HRQOL in parents of children with SLD. Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study population comprised all parents of children with SLD in 2020-21, among whom 174 parents were selected through convenience sampling. The research instruments included the SF-36 Questionnaire, Parenting Stress Index, the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire, and the Locus of Control Scale. The proposed model was evaluated using path analysis. Results: there was a significant relationship between spiritual well-being and HRQOL, locus of control and HRQOL, parenting stress and locus of control, and between spiritual well-being and locus of control (P<0.01). However, no significant relationship was found between parenting stress and HRQOL. Indirect paths of parenting stress were significantly correlated with HRQOL through the mediating role of locus of control and there was a significant relationship between spiritual well-being and HRQOL with the mediating role of locus of control (P<0.01). Conclusion: This study revealed that locus of control is a significant mediator in the relationship of parenting stress and spiritual well-being with HRQOL in parents of children with learning disorder.

Background: Backpacker tourists are dominated by young people who have a high adventurous spirit and are happy with freedom. This makes backpacker tourists both local and foreign at risk to engage in risky sexual behavior. In adolescents and young adults, risky sexual behavior that occurs during holidays is also accompanied by an increase in alcohol consumption, that brings more complex health impacts. Lodging has a strong role in preventing risky behavior by backpacker tourists. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the role of lodging managers in preventing transmission of HIV/AIDS in backpacker areas. Materials & Methods: In this qualitative research with a case-study approach, the participants were 20 informants who were selected by a purposive sampling method. Data were collected by in-depth interview and analyzed by content analysis. Results: The role carried out by the lodging manager to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission was identified as to refuse teenage guests who are sexually opposite couples rent a single room and not selling alcohol and condoms. Lodging also did not provide Female Sex Workers (FSW) services and rejected FSW requests from guests. Conclusion: This study identified the role of lodging manager in backpacker tourism area that was considered appropriate to reduce the risk of sexual behavior that can result in HIV/AIDS transmission.

Background: Medical students make extensive use of virtual social networks, especially in the era of the coronavirus pandemic, so that their health-promoting behaviors may be adversely affected. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the use of virtual social networks and a health-promoting lifestyle among postgraduate medical students. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among post-graduate students studying at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2020. A total of 240 students were included using quota sampling method. Data were collected via valid and reliable questionnaires consisting of socio-demographic information, health-promoting lifestyle Profile-II, and virtual social networks utilization. The spearman test was employed to evaluate the association between virtual social networks and lifestyle. Results: The mean age of participants was 32.21±7.45 and 75.4% were female. The mean score of lifestyle was 138.28±21.18, while the mean score of virtual social networks utilization was (64.55±11.40). There was a statistically significant correlation between utilization of virtual social networks and total score of lifestyle (r=-0.189, P=0.003), as well as physical activity (r=-0.232, P=0.001), nutrition (r=-0.179, P=0.005), and self-actualization (r=-0.154 , P=0.017) of health promoting lifestyle. Linear regression model showed that utilization of internet and social networks (B=-0.37, P=0.02), utilization in the time between 12 pm and 8 am (B=-14.3, P=0.011) were independently associated with Health Promoting Lifestyle score. Conclusion: This study showed that more than half of students had a healthy lifestyle (55%). The average score of virtual social networks used by students was high. Utilization of internet and the time of utilization were independent predictors of Health Promoting Lifestyle score.

Background: Pain perception in individuals with migraine is very important and is influenced by various factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of alexithymia and self-efficacy with pain perception in women with migraine. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in women with migraine referred to medical centers in Rasht in 2021. Using convenience sampling method, 160 women with migraines participated in the study and answered the demographic information questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression model. Results: Of total, 152 women responded to the questionnaire (response rate= 95%). The mean age of study participants was 32.86±8.5 years. Pain perception was negatively associated with selfefficacy (r=-0.28; P=0.001) and positively associated with alexithymia (r= 0.20; P=0.001). The results of linear regression also showed that self-efficacy and Externally-Oriented Thinking (EOT) subscale explained 13% of the variance in pain perception. Conclusion: Self-efficacy and externally-oriented thinking were significant contributors of pain perception in women with migraine. These variables can be considered for adopting coping strategies in patients experiencing migraine pain.

Background: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders and is usually associated with abdominal pain. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness and neurofeedback on quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Materials & Methods: The present study was a pretest-posttest control group design with a two-month follow-up. The study population included all women with irritable bowel syndrome referred to gastroenterology centers and clinics of Qazvin city in 2019. Patients were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned into two experimental and one control groups (n=45). The experimental groups underwent Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Neurofeedback (NFB). The Rome-III diagnostic criteria form and the WHOQOLBREF were administered. Data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance. Results: There was significant difference between NFB and control group for total quality of life and all its components. The mean between-group difference (MD) of total quality of life score in NFB compared to control group was 21.2±2.58 in post-test and 15.4±2.35 in follow-up (P<0.05). MBCT group was significantly different with the control group in component of general health both in post-test (MD= 0.93±0.53) and follow-up (MD=0.73±0.53), (P<0.05). Conclusion: NFB therapy considerably improved the quality of life of patients with IBS that was remained after two months of follow-up, while MBCT was only effective on improvement of general health in comparison with the control group.

Materials & Methods: This study was performed to investigate the epidemiology of childhood burn in children under 16 years old referred to Velayat Burn Center, Rasht City, Iran, from 2013 to 2018. Data were collected from electronic hospital records of burn patients aged under 16 years of age. Results: Out of 717 patients, 44.5% were girls, and 55.5% were boys (sex ratio=1.2). The highest frequency of burns (56.1%) was reported in the 1-5 years age group. The most common cause of burn was scalds (76%), and the most common burn severity was second-degree burns (46.7%). The Mean±SD duration of hospitalization was 3.07±4.15 days, and the hospital stay was significantly associated with the cause of the burn, Burned Body Surface Area (BBSA), and burn severity. The highest frequency was reported on Saturdays, i.e., (the first working day in Iran) (22.7%), between 6 and 12 o’clock (42.8%). Conclusion: This study found that children in 1-5 years old were the most susceptible age group for burn injuries and scalds were the most common cause of the burn. The male to female ratio was 1.2, and the majority of burns occurred in the winter.","PeriodicalId":112656,"journal":{"name":"Caspian Journal of Health Research","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133376509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
