Objectives: This study aims to assess the implementation of drug-related harm reduction programs in Iranian prisons and suggest solutions for their improvement. Methods: This study was conducted in three steps. First, library method was used for collecting data from the central library of Iran’s Prisons, Security and Corrective Measures Organization. In the second step, performance indicators were extracted based on the results of first step and two researcher-made checklists were designed. Finally, a field visit and a semi-structured interview with the authorities involved in the treatment and harm reduction services were carried out. Results: In most of prisons, drug-related harm reduction programs were underway. Despite a lack of human resources and budget at the beginning, the quality of measures was gradually increased and the attitude of authorities was improved. Methadone Maintenance Treatment and Triangular Clinics were the most common harm reduction programs, in addition to HIV and tuberculosis screening programs in collaboration with medical sciences universities. The program continued despite the change of officials. Conclusion: Harm reduction programs are able to reduce infection diseases, self-harm and violent behaviors in prisons of Iran. Cultural programs along with other harm reduction programs, briefings and seeking support from the authorities can greatly help with continuation of the programs in prisons. By eliminating the shortage of manpower and redefining the security areas for ordinary prisoners, it will be possible to make better use of the facilities of universities and research centers.

Objectives: The present study aims to investigate the effect of Cognitive-Behavioral Group Therapy (CBGT) on pain self-efficacy, fatigue, life expectancy and depression in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods: In this quasi-experimental clinical trial with a pretest/posttest design, 68 patients with MS referred to MS clinics and MS Association of Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran were selected using a convenience sampling technique, and were then assigned into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received ten 2-hour weekly sessions of CBGT, while the control group received no treatment. In the pretest and posttest phases, Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Snyder’s Adult Hope Scale (AHS) and Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) were completed by all subjects. The collected data were analyzed using ANCOVA and t-test. Results: The CBGT significantly improved pain self-efficacy (P=0.001) and life expectancy (P=0.001) and reduced fatigue (P=0.02) and depression (P=0.003) in the intervention group compared to the control group. Conclusion: CBGT can increase pain self-efficacy, life expectancy and reduce fatigue and depression in patients with MS.

Objectives: The most critical issue that the young generation faces is cyberspace, which has increased irrationally with the coronavirus outbreak. The present study aimed to identify cyberspace’s role in lifestyle, promoting health, and coronary anxiety in young people. Methods: The research method is descriptive post-event. The community included all undergraduate students of Tabriz Azad University, of which 307 people participated in the study through an online call answer to a Researcher-Made Questionnaires, which designed to measure the use of cyberspace, Corona Anxiety Questionnaire and the Lifestyle Promoters. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and Post Hoc test. Results: The findings show the components of lifestyle promoting health, subscales of spiritual growth (P=0.001), responsibility (P=0.016), interpersonal relationships (p=0.033), exercise (P=0.009) as well as the overall score of lifestyle (P=0.001); And one of the components of Corona Anxiety is a subscale of psychological symptoms (P=0.001) and also the total score of Corona Anxiety (P=0.001) in groups related to the use of cyberspace is significant, And students who spent more than four hours using cyberspace scored lower on health-promoting lifestyles and higher on coronary anxiety components. Conclusion: The excessive use of cyberspace has played a negative role in improving the health of students. Excessive and very little use of cyberspace also increases students’ anxiety, and in this regard, it is suggested that students manage the use of virtual social networks.

Objectives: In the context of the epidemic of coronavirus and its psychological effect, it is necessary to develop appropriate tools for measuring the aspects of its psychological pathology. Therefore, this study aims to determine coronavirus anxiety›s psychometric properties using a 5-point Likert scale (Sherman A. Lee) in the Iranian statistical population. Methods: In this study, 399 men and women from the adult population of Kermanshah were studied by the available sampling method. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale(DERS), as well as the second version of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) were used for convergent validity and divergent validity, respectively. Internal consistency method using Cronbach’s alpha was used to analyze data, and confirmatory factor analysis using Lisrel-8.8 software was used for construct validity. Results: Cronbach’s alpha was found to be 91.5 for the scales overall score. CAS found a positive and significant correlation between the coronavirus anxiety scale and the sub-components of difficulty in emotion regulation (except for problems engaging in goal-directed behaviors). Still, he also found that there was a negative correlation between acceptance and action. Furthermore, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the single-factor structure is well-suited Conclusion: Covid-19 related anxiety can be disproportionate and unnecessary and cause many psychological problems. The Iranian version of the coronavirus anxiety Scale reflected desirable validity and reliability and could be used as a short and valid screening tool for measuring coronavirus anxiety measurement.
目的:在新冠肺炎疫情及其心理效应的背景下，有必要开发合适的工具来测量其心理病理的各个方面。因此，本研究旨在使用5点李克特量表(Sherman a . Lee)在伊朗统计人群中确定冠状病毒焦虑的心理测量特性。方法:采用现有的抽样方法，对克尔曼沙赫市成年人群中的399名男女进行调查。采用新冠病毒恐惧量表(FCV-19S)、情绪调节困难量表(DERS)和第二版接受与行动问卷(AAQ-II)分别进行收敛效度和发散效度测试。数据分析采用Cronbach 's alpha内部一致性法，结构效度采用Lisrel-8.8软件进行验证性因子分析。结果:量表总分Cronbach 's alpha值为91.5。CAS发现，冠状病毒焦虑量表与情绪调节困难分项(目标导向行为问题除外)呈显著正相关。不过，他还发现接受和行动之间存在负相关。验证性因子分析结果表明，单因素结构适合。结论:新冠肺炎相关焦虑可能不成比例且不必要，并导致许多心理问题。伊朗版新冠病毒焦虑量表反映了良好的效度和信度，可作为一种简短有效的新冠病毒焦虑测量筛查工具。
