Infant mortality rate is one of the main indicators in the assessment of community health. About 65% of children under one year of infant mortality are mortality and undoubtedly the first step in promoting this index is to identify the causes of their mortality at this time. The present study was conducted to determine the rate and causes of infant mortality in the neonatal intensive care unit of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd. This descriptive-analytic study was performed on 243 infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of selected educational hospital in Yazd during the first period of April to the end of March, 1395. The data collection tool was a checklist. ANOVA and Chi-square tests were used. Data were entered into SPSS software version 19. Of the 243 infants under study, 39 (16.4%) of the newborns died. The highest incidence of neonatal in 56.4% of cases was prematurity. Cardiac arrest was the cause of death in 47.5% of infants. Fee of newborns with infant weight and infant age during admission and maternal gestational age were statistically significant (P = 0.0001). Maternal and child-care care should be given more importance in health programs and policies, and measures should be taken to prevent possible contaminating factors for infant death.

One of the most important aspects involved in the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is academic performance. This study provides the e- learning validated model for learners with ADHD.
This is a mixed method study. In the qualitative phase, 41 in- depth interviews conducted. The interviews were analyzed using content analysis. The e- learning method was developed in a quantitative phase. In this phase, the sample size was 41 people. In the validating phase, the sample size was 31 people. There were 15 people in each the control and case groups, that ethical issues were considered. The participants filled the questionnaires of inventory of school motivation (ISM) and the questionnaire of academic achievement in both the pre-test and post-test.
Findings: The five main elements including analyzing, designing, delivery, supporting, and evaluation were extracted in qualitative phase. In addition, the e- learning model was developed in qualitative phase.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease that causes deformity and disability in patients. There is little information about the impact of psychological interventions upon this disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of group cognitive behavioral therapy upon physical factors such as severity and level of disease and extent of itching، and mental health of psoriasis patients. This research was conducted as a semi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test with a control group and the follow-up period. Twenty Psoriasis patients were allocated into experimental and control groups. The group cognitive behavioral therapy was administered to 10 psoriasis patients allocated into the experimental group for 12 sessions. The members of both groups filled in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) for the assessment of severity of psoriasis، general health questionnaire (GHQ)، and the Quality of life in patients with pruritus (ItchyQoL) questionnaires. The results indicated that the group cognitive-behavioral therapy did not have any impact upon the improvement of physical symptoms (severity and level of disease and extent of itching)، but it was effective on improving the patients'' psychological status. Cognitive behavioral therapy has improved the patients'' general health. There is a significant difference between the two groups in terms of multiple covariance analysis for different aspects of general health، including anxiety and insomnia (effect size 0. 45 and P=0. 004)، depression (effect size: 0. 25 and P=0. 044)، physical symptoms (effect size 0. 28 and P=0. 033)، and social functioning (effect size 0. 41 and P=0. 003). Although، based on the results، the group cognitive behavioral therapy does not directly affect reduction of physical symptoms of psoriasis; the effectiveness of this method on patients'' psychological symptoms is considerable as a mediator in the onset، exacerbation، and relapse of the disease.
