As a result a questionnaire of 34 questions was constructed including five elements: Measures of mental, individual and family health, hope for the future, self-concept and adjustment. Eventually, the overall cut-off point separating each of the five sub-scales was calculated using the mean and standard error of the mean. If identify soldiers potential suicide, Psychological and social support and urgency can be prevented many acts of violence against self and supported many people.

This study was performed based on Q methodology in six stages: 1. Development of Q Sample Statements,2. Selection of Participants (professionals in the Military organizations) for the Q Sort,3. Q-sorting,4. Data entry,5. Statistical analysis(For the extraction of Q sorts, the principal components Analysis method was used),6. Factor Interpretation. An initial set of indicators (A total of 246 indicators) was obtained from a number of foreign scientific sources. The experts commented and discussed this list of mental health indicators during a focus group discussions and interviews.During the Q sorting Phase, the Q-methodology panelists were ranking indicators. As a result, 30 indicators were offered in three categories: Mental health status, Mental health service and Mental health system. Indicators obtained in this study can be used in Regulatory reforms and policies, providing appropriate mental health services, Mental health promotion in the military organizations, Updates and Measuring mental health Information.

War has lots of catastrophic consequences on the health of people such as amputation. Amputated persons experience more changes in their quality of life following the amputation. Combat related amputation is sudden and unexpected and coping with it is hard. Acceptance is expected during the time after taking medial- health services. The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of life of amputated veterans following almost 20 years after ending the war. This research is descriptive survey by using data from 120 veterans were randomly selected from the amputated veterans list (60 lower & and 60 upper) of the Fars region of the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans. The veterans filled out the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The result showed the average score for SF-36 full-scale was 40.64 and the average score for physical component scale and mental component scale were 37.93 and 43.43. Although the averages in comparison with national or international normative data are below the means, but if we define a range around the mean, most of SF-36 subscale will fall within two standard deviations. There was no significant difference between the quality of life of the lower & and upper Amputated group. Our results did not support the previous finding that reported the quality of life of amputated veterans is significantly below the mean also our results did not support the hypothesis that the lower limb amputees experience worse quality of life in comparison with upper limb amputees.

One of the tools to detect and screening people with mental disorders is Symptom checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90 -R). This study aimed to review validity, reliability and standardization of Symptom checklist of 90 Revised (SCL-90 -R) in Sepah staffs.The research methods is descriptive - correlative and research design is standardization.

The test-retest consistency coefficients of subscales ranged from r=0.57 to r=0.90. correlation coefficients of SCL-90-R subscales with MMPI subscales was statistically significant. In the present research, the cut-off point in Global Symptoms Index (GSI) was determined equal to 1.06.Considering to validity, reliability, norm and cut-off point Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90 -R) in Sepah staff, it can be used in screening of mental disorders, determining health levels and Sepah staff mental health planning
