Breastfeeding is associated with short -term and long- term advantages for maternal and child health. Short term advantages in children include reduction of diarrhea and pneumonia. And the long- term advantages of breastfeeding include reduced risk of obesity and chronic diseases such as type I & II diabetes, hypertension, heart diseases, and hyperlipidemia in adulthood and improved cognitive functions. Breastfeeding advantages for mothers include more mother–infant bonding and reduced risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and type II diabetes. Many studies have documented the relationship between healthy behaviors and personality traits, so it seems that breastfeeding is related to such traits. So, this study aimed to investigate predicting exclusive breastfeeding based on maternal personality traits. Material & Methods: A descriptive-predictive study was used to achieve the research purpose. The study followed random cluster sampling method. For this purpose, first Valfajr and Enghelab Centers were selected as clusters, and three comprehensive health care centers were selected randomly from these clusters. Finally, 120 eligible mothers referring to 6 comprehensive health centers of Shiraz participated in this study. In order to determine the sample size, the rule of sixty in the structural equation prediction model was employed. According to this law, 10 samples were selected for each parameter. Data were collected between May to December 2019. The inclusion criteria were willingness to participate in the study, Iranian mothers with an infant aged 6-12 months and the experience of exclusive breastfeeding, singleton pregnancy, lack of any breast disorders, normal vaginal delivery, not using any lactation-inducing medications, not having any medical complications, not having been hospitalized for any reasons, not using any psychiatric medications during the breastfeeding period, and term pregnancy. The exclusion criteria were incomplete questionnaires. Data were gathered using a demographic questionnaire which included items relating to maternal and child age, education indicated the normal distribution of the variables and there were no outliers in data. The variance inflation factor (VIF) index was accounted to be less than 1.5. The P -value was set at 0.5 for all tests. Results: The participants aged 17-45 years ((M = 31.04, SD = 5.12). The infants aged 6-12 months (M = 9.56, SD = 2.41). In this study 88.3% of the participants were housewives. Almost half of them had a Bachelor’s degree and above (48.3%) and their spouses had diplomas (45.8%). The majority of the participants (91.7%) were emotionally supported and encouraged to breastfeed by their spouses and 95% by their families.

Studies show that (80-95%) of students are involved in some form of procrastination and (50%) of them are always procrastinating in doing homework and learning subjects. Academic procrastination is one of the factors affecting students' academic achievement and many students cannot use their maximum existential capacity due to this problem. In fact, procrastination causes a high degree of anxiety and depression in the person, which lowers his self-esteem. Self-esteem is one of the most important factors modulating psychosocial stress, which is based on family relationships, academic success, physical image, social interaction, and self-worth. The importance of these issues depends on individual differences and growth. Studies show that the way parents relate to their children and how they raise their children affect procrastination. In addition to common problems of other students, medical students also face special problems in their field, such as the stress of the hospital environment and dealing with the problems of patients, and are more at risk of injury. Therefore, it is necessary to examine different academic problems such as academic procrastination and its related factors including relationship with parents and self-esteem of this group to prevent the academic failure of these students as the future workforce. Training students who, due to academic procrastination, have not been able to acquire sufficient educational competence to provide services to patients will cause several problems in the health system in the future. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-esteem and relationship with parents with academic procrastination in nursing students. In total, 410 students were selected through quota sampling and included in the study. The inclusion criteria were being a student, nursing students in one of the intended disciplines, non-employment in the health system and other organizations. The exclusion criteria were being married, having a history of mental illness and not having parents. The measurement tool was a four-part questionnaire, with the first part related to demographic information (age, gender, field of study, semester, and degree), the second part was Solomon and RothBlum's academic procrastination questionnaire, the third part was Rosenberg's self-esteem questionnaire, and the fourth part of the questionnaire was the parent-child relationships devised by Fine, Moreland, and Schwebe. Data were analyzed in SPSS version 16 using descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression) at the significance level of 0.05.

Poorly functioning families have difficulty dealing with emotional issues. In these families, communication is neglected or unqualified, the range of emotional reactions is limited, and the quantity and quality of these reactions is abnormal depending on the context and environment. These issues highlight the need to provide psychological training to the families of patients with chronic mental disorders. The variety and intensity of caring roles may lead to mental disorders in family members. If these individuals receive no intervention, their mental health will decline, thereby rendering them as ‘hidden patients’. Family interventions could reduce the recurrence and frequent hospitalization of patients with mental disorders. Therefore, the involvement of the families of patients with chronic mental disorders is paramount. The families who live with these patients are exposed to the challenges associated with their illness and are often responsible for their care and wellbeing. Life skills training is an effective psychological intervention that helps families promote adaptive and positive behaviors to manage the challenges of daily life. Life skills training for the families of patients with chronic mental disorders could also reduce the stigma associated with the disease, improve familial relations, and decrease the burden or stress of the caregivers. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of life skills training on the performance of the families of patients with chronic mental disorders. Materials & Methods: This single-group quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design on 37 family members of patients with chronic mental disorders admitted to Iran Psychiatric Center in 2020.

The subjective meaning of successful aging focuses on the inner dimensions of the aging experience such as happiness, self-fulfillment, emotions, perceived social support, satisfaction, and vitality in life. Perceived or subjective social support refers to individual's cognitive evaluation of their relationships, and studying and evaluating perceived social support is closely related to self-assessment of health, and paying attention to its understanding is of utmost importance in health care. One of the variables that effect successful aging, and improves health and quality of life of the elderly, is mental vitality which is somehow tied to the concept of psychological well-being and this concept refers to being positive, full of energy and cheerful. In other words, there is a very close relationship between mental vitality and happiness and social interactions. All of these states are positive and favorable concepts and are therefore associated with positive emotions and mood, which are very important in old age. Today, with the increase in the number of the elderly and the prolongation of life and life expectancy, efforts are being made to identify the components and factors associated with successful aging that guarantee a better quality of life, to provide an accurate sociological picture for proper health planning for the elderly. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine successful aging in the dimensions of perceived social support and mental vitality in the elderly referred to the health centers of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2020. Materials & Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The research samples included 245 elderly people referring to the health centers of Iran University of Medical Sciences (in Tehran) in 2020 who were selected by continuous sampling method and entered the study after obtaining informed written consent. Data collection tools included Abbreviated Mental Test form (AMT), elderly demographic characteristics form, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support developed by Zimmet, and Mental Vitality questionnaire developed by Ryan & Frederick. The questionnaires were completed in person and by interview (conducted by the researcher) during three months.

Poor eye communication, lack of emotion or social interaction, impaired use of non-verbal behaviors, and lack of age-appropriate communication are the main manifestations of this disorder. This disorder is one of the main causes of disability in children under 5 years old. The exact cause of this disorder has not yet been determined, and it can often be diagnosed by comparing autistic children's speech and performance with those of their peers. In comparison to parents of typically functioning children or parents of children with other developmental disabilities (i.e. Down’s syndrome or cerebral palsy), parents or caregivers of children with an autism spectrum disorder experience more parenting stress which makes its management imperative. Parenting stress in this group of women results in depression, anxiety, divorce, reduced family cohesion and physical health, more incidence of behavioral problems in the children, and problems related to parenting. Thus, it is imperative to identify effective methods that target improvement in caregivers' mental health. The problems that mothers face in raising their children from an early age put a lot of pressure on parenting skills, and if the parents' understanding of the demands of their role is greater than the resources and methods available for coping with them, so that they will be unable to restore balance in the usual ways, it will lead to stress in parents. In the case of parents of children with autism, maternal stress is reported more than the paternal stress, and more than mothers of children with other developmental disorders and mothers of normal children. Therefore, given that the caregivers of (75%) of children with autism are their mothers, it is not unbelievable that mothers of this group of children struggle with a lot of stress. Mothers of children with autism are their primary caregivers, leading to depression, anxiety, quitting job, and suicide. Thus, effective interventions to improve the mental health of caregivers of children with autism seem necessary and the need to improve their mental health is felt. However, the results of studies that have been done so far indicate that this emotional revelation intervention through writing has been inconsistent or even ineffective on the mental health of mothers of children with autism. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of written emotional disclosure in parenting stress of mothers with autistic children. Material & Methods: In this study, conducted in 2019, a quasi-experimental design including pre-test, post-test, and control group was used.

It starts with periods of inflammation in the synovium, and causes it to be thicken resulting in edema in the synovial tissue. It affects 1% of people worldwide, but its prevalence varies among different regions, different races, and different groups of people. Like other chronic diseases, this disease not only has no definitive cure, but also leads to a severe decline in the performance of the affected people and a decrease in independence in performing their daily activities. Studies show that structured educational approaches about self-care can improve the performance and health of patients with chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Accordingly, individuals must learn the knowledge and skills needed to make decisions, solve their problems, and communicate with others. Self-care education in these patients helps them to reach a level of health where they not only feel satisfaction with their personal life, but also can contribute effectively and significantly to the community as a citizen. Therefore, encouraging patients to adopt appropriate self-care behaviors is an important factor in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. People with high levels of self-care have more access to health care, experience shorter periods of hospitalization, and subsequently less complications caused by hospitalization in these centers. Without education and patients' participation in the self-care process, health care programs will be more expensive and the patient’s quality of life will be reduced. Thus, self-care education along with other treatment and rehabilitation processes seems necessary in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Despite the importance of self-care, studies suggest that patients with rheumatoid arthritis have little knowledge and information about their disease and self-care methods, and lack of knowledge leads to frequent recurrence of the disease and an increase in the frequency of their hospitalizations. Likewise, there is a gap record the patients' function scores in different areas after the intervention. After the data collection process, data were analyzed using statistical tests in SPSS 16. Frequency and percentage were used for qualitative variables and numerical indices including minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation were used for quantitative variables. Paired t-test was used for inferential statistics for comparison before and after the intervention. Results: This study included 40 patients with rheumatoid arthritis hospitalized in rheumatology wards of Imam Reza and Ghaem hospitals. The Findings showed that the mean age of the samples was 45.72 ± 9.77 years, most samples (%70) were female, married (%87.5), housewives (%57.5), had a diploma and lower degrees (90%), and 55% reported an underlying disease.

Quality of work life is a set of organizational conditions and is created when the management of the organization is democratic, staff are treated with respect, and a safe work environment is provided. In other words, improving the quality of work life in staff is one of the important factors to ensure the sustainability of the health system. Considering the sensitive and stressful job situation of emergency center staff and the contradictory results of researches conducted on the quality of life of staff, the present study aimed to analyze the relationship between perceived organizational support and quality of work life of the operational staff of Tehran emergency centers. Materials & Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted on the operational staff of Tehran Emergency Center in the second six months of 2019. The sampling method was multi-stage stratified with the proportional allocation and 200 qualified staff from the six emergency centers of Tehran (north, south, east, west, center, Islamshahr) were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were having a diploma and higher degrees and having at least six months of experience as operational staff. Demographic information form, quality of work life questionnaire developed by Walton, and Eisenberg perceived organizational support questionnaire were used for data collection. The researcher returned 24-48 hours after the distribution of the questionnaires and collected the completed questionnaires.

Therefore, population policies in most countries are mainly focused on reducing or increasing fertility. Nowadays, we are facing a decrease in the tendency to have children in Iran, so that the total fertility rate (TFR) has decreased to 6.5 since mid-1978 and reached replacement level fertility in 1999 and is expected to decrease to 1.13% during 2020 - 2024. According to the Low Population Growth Scenario released by the United Nations in 2010, if Iran continues replacement level fertility and has no plan to balance it, its population will reach 31 million in the next 80 years, and 47 percent will be the elderly over 60 years. These statistics and reports have caused serious concerns for the authorities, and the Supreme Leader of Iran has mentioned this issue several times and called for serious planning and legislation to get out of this situation. This has made population growth policies one of the priorities of the government. Meanwhile, according to previous researches, Markazi province is ranked as the third city in terms of the low desire of women to have children. This study aimed to determine the factors related to childbearing willingness in 18-45 -year old women referring to Arak health centers in 2019.

In Iran, addiction is highly prevalent among different age groups. Due to diagnostic and reporting conditions, accurate statistics about the number of addicts are not available. However, the population of drug addicts seems to be increasing every year, and this is a serious warning to society. A large number of drug users refer to drug treatment centers every year, but after a while, they tend to use drugs again, which is one of the challenges of society. According to the results of some studies, there is a significant relationship between hope and the cleansing period of drug addicts. Since hope can be a fundamental and motivating factor in drug withdrawal and may play an important role in all stages of drug withdrawal, from action to continuing withdrawal and recovery, it seems that implementing interventions that can raise hope in addicts experiencing withdrawal is necessary for drug withdrawal and its continuation. Therefore, considering that happiness-based programs can increase life expectancy in people, this study aimed to determine the effect of the happiness program on the hope of addicts experiencing withdrawal at the psychiatric center of Zahedan. Materials & Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. Men aged 18 to 50 years who were admitted to Zahedan Psychiatric Hospital in autumn and winter of 2020 for drug withdrawal comprised the study population. The samples included 92 addicted men. They were selected based on convenience sampling procedure and were randomly divided into intervention (n=46) and control (n=46) groups. Inclusion criteria were no physical symptoms of withdrawal such as pain and restlessness, no psychotic disorder associated with drug abuse, no participation in another counseling program at the same time, and no other addicted family members. More than one session absenteeism and hospital discharge prior to completion of the program were exclusion criteria. In this study, first the control group and then the intervention group entered the study based on non-random sampling procedure. This method was used to prevent the transfer of information in groups. Data collection tools in this study included demographic information form and Miller Hope Scale. This questionnaire was conducted in two stages; pre-test and posttest which was conducted two months later.
