Substance-related disorders are recognized as a significant health concern in all societies, with individuals facing public health challenges. This study was aimed to assess the impact of an emotion regulation-focused educational program on the overall health status of individuals undergoing methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for addiction.

This single-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted in 2022 on 48 patients with opioid abuse undergoing MMT at the Center for Addiction Harm Reduction in Isfahan City, Iran. The participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 24) or the control group (n = 24). The intervention involved six training sessions focused on emotion regulation over a three-week period for the intervention group. Data analysis was performed using paired t-test, independent samples t-test, and chi-square test with SPSS statistical software. In this study, the P-value was considered significant at the level of less than 0.05.

The results of the paired samples t-test showed that in the intervention group, the average scores of the general health level decreased significantly after the intervention (P < 0.001), while the changes in the control group were not significant. The results of the independent samples t-test showed that the average scores of the general health level in the intervention and control groups were not significantly different before the intervention, but were significant after the intervention (P < 0.001).

According to the results of the present study, the educational program based on emotion regulation plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall health of patients receiving MMT. Therefore, it is advisable to implement this educational program for patients undergoing MMT.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between mental health, eating attitudes, and the amount of weight loss in obese and overweight individuals.

The design of the study was cross-sectional. The statistical population consisted of obese and overweight individuals who visited nutrition clinics in Rasht City, Iran. A total of 420 participants were included in the study, comprising 378 women with an average weight of 79.99 ± 15.91 kg, height of 161.67 ± 5.98 cm, age of 39.59 ± 11.15 years, and body mass index (BMI) of 30.88 ± 3.06 kg/m2, as well as 42 men with an average weight of 100.31 ± 23.59 kg, height of 175.07 ± 9.75 cm, age of 38.45 ± 11.35 years, and BMI of 32.75 ± 4.20 kg/m2. The participants were selected using convenience sampling method. Data were collected using online questionnaires that included Carner's Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) and Goldberg's General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Data analysis was conducted using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and regression modeling in SPSS software.

There was a significant relationship between mental health (r =- 0.18, P < 0.001) and eating attitude (r = 0.10, P = 0.030) with the success rate in weight loss. The relationship between mental health dimensions, including physical condition (r =- 0.19, P < 0.001), anxiety (r =- 0.11, P = 0.018), and social function (r = -0.16, P = 0.001) was significant with weight loss. The relationship between the components of eating attitude, including oral control (r = 0.21, P < 0.001) and desire to eat (r =- 0.12, P = 0.009) with success in weight loss was significant.

Higher mental health, as well as a better level of eating attitude, was associated with greater weight loss success in obese and overweight people referred to nutrition clinics. Therefore, paying attention to these factors will increase the probability of success in weight loss.

 Having a healthy and happy society depends on the mental and physical health of its members, and leisure time and recreational sports are very important in the physical and mental improvement of people.

 Following the spread of the COVID-19 and the subsequent increased hospital visits, healthcare workers underwent psychological pressure. This situation could have had negative effects on the organization's performance. The present study was, therefore, conducted with the aim of analyzing the general health and work-related quality of life of hospital employees in post-Corona.

 This is a descriptive correlational study conducted cross-sectionally in 2022. Herein, 344 employees working in hospitals under the auspicious of Zabol University of Medical Sciences were selected through stratified random sampling method. The tools of data collection were demographic information, as well as general health and work life quality questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS (v.22). Ethical considerations were observed in all stages of the study.

 A statistically significant relationship was observed between the quality of work life and the general health of employees (P=0.0001). The mean score of the general health questionnaire was 1.49±0.62 (that was considered average) and the mean score of the quality of work life questionnaire was 2.49±0.71 (that was seen as relatively average). In the components of the quality of work life, the lowest and highest points were assigned to the component of fair payment (2.19±0.76) and general life environment (3.1±0.7), respectively. Moreover, in the components of general health, the lowest and highest scores were attributed to depression (1.09±0.55) and social functioning (1.76±0.76), respectively.

 Considering the relationship between general health and the quality of working life, hospital managers are required to constantly examine these two factors, especially during critical situations and the subsequent periods.

 This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle promotion educational package based on Iranian and Islamic culture on treatment adherence and health in diabetic patients.

 This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population included all visitors to a psychotherapy center in District 5 of Tehran. The sample consisted of 30 individuals (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included the Diabetes Treatment Adherence Questionnaire and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The experimental group participated in ten educational sessions covering topics such as healthy nutrition, physical activity, stress management, medical care, religious teachings, and family and social relationships.

  Results from repeated measures ANOVA indicated that the educational package significantly improved treatment adherence and general health in diabetic patients. The experimental group showed substantial improvement in treatment adherence and general health scores in the post-test and follow-up phases, while the control group did not exhibit significant changes. The educational package based on Iranian and Islamic culture positively impacted treatment adherence and health in diabetic patients. These results highlight the importance of designing educational interventions that consider local culture and values (P<0.001).

 Implementing such programs can aid in better diabetes management and reduce its complications.

It is necessary to carry out urgent interventions to improve the general health of pre-hospital emergency personnel. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual stress management training on the general health of pre-hospital emergency personnel.

In this semi-experimental study conducted in 2022 in Jiroft City, Iran, 160 pre-hospital emergency personnel were randomly selected and divided into two intervention and control groups by simple random allocation (lottery). The educational content of stress management was held for eight sessions of 45 minutes (two sessions per week) for the intervention group virtually and online via the Adobe Connect application. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was completed in two stages, before the intervention and one month after the completion of the intervention, in both groups. Using SPSS software (version 20), descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (ANCOVA) were used for data analysis.

The post-test results indicated a significant difference between the two groups in the overall score of general health (46.13±15.10 in the control group versus 34.50±12.63 in the intervention group). Moreover, after the intervention, the overall score of general health and its subscales decreased significantly only in the intervention group (P<0.001).

The implementation of the stress management virtual training program helps to improve the general health of pre-hospital emergency personnel. Therefore, it is recommended to be used as an effective method for empowering human resources.

Improving students' academic performance is related to various factors. Identifying and modifying these factors can improve academic performance. The study investigated the relationship between resilience, locus of control, and general health with students' academic performance.

The study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study consisting of 415 students. Resilience, source of control, and public health were investigated by using standard questionnaires, and the correlation of these scores with the academic performance of the students was evaluated.

A comparison of the average scores of resilience, locus of control, and general health with the student's academic status showed that those who had a GPA higher than 16.92 had a higher score of resilience, locus of control, and general health, but it was not reported significant. In comparing the internal and external control dimensions of the source of control, it was shown that people with an external source have a significantly higher grade point average. Also, there is a relationship between the variables of resilience, source of control, and general health with academic performance, and between the variables of source of control and resilience with academic performance. Significant was reported.

It is recommended to organize practical education areas and workshops to enhance resilience, general health, and life skills based on the findings of the academic progress study.

One of the undesirable consequences of the aging process is the feeling of loneliness and decrease in general health. Nowadays aging people are one of the most problems of sustainable development in each country in the world. Therefore, current research was aimed to determine the impact of loneliness on elderly health in west health care center of Tehran.

Determining the sample size was conducted by Krejcie and Morgan table to the number of 300. The list of elderly people extracted from Sib system, and selected by random table of numbers. The research tool were two questionnaires including GHQ-28 of Goldberg and loneliness feeling of elderly population (SELSA- S) that confirmed their validity and reliability. Descriptive results were reported by frequency, average, and also analytical results reported using by Pearson and variance analysis, and also linear regression.

Increased feeling of loneliness and poor mental health and social function were observed elderly people. Negative and significant feeling of loneliness and its components impacted on mental health among elderly people. There was no significant relationship between feeling of loneliness and gender.

Decreased feeling of loneliness among elderly people might lead to improved mental health among elderly people. Therefore, due to the increasing elderly population in Iran, it is so important to design interventions and trainingprograms in order to create supportive conditions forelderly people.

Irregular work shifts, particularly night shifts, can negatively impact nurses' physical and mental health, personal life, social life, performance, and efficiency. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between general health dimensions and shift work status in nurses.

This is a descriptive, cross-sectional-correlation study conducted on nurses working at Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan in 2022. The sample size consisted of 250 nurses who were selected by simple random sampling. The evaluation of general health dimensions and shift work status was carried out using Goldberg's standard 28-question general health questionnaire and the survey of shift workers (SOS) questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS software ver. 24.0.

The nurses in the study were 23 to 60 years old. Regarding the dimensions of general health, the mean score for physical health impairment (9.20±3.49), anxiety (8.45±3.82), and social functioning disorder (8.73±2.86) were below average, while the mean depression score (49.2±2.29) was at a low level. The mean nurses' shift work status score was 41.67 ± 6.69, which was average. It was found that there was an inverse relationship between the score of shift work status and the score of general and physical health impairment, as well as social dysfunction (P < 0.05). However, other dimensions had no significant relationship (P > 0.05).

Improving the shift work situation can decrease general health disorders and physical and social dysfunction among nurses. Nursing managers can help improve their nurses' physical and social health by planning shift work properly and observing the principles of shift work.

Health literacy is one of the most important indicators of health knowledge. This study aims to evaluate the relationship of health literacy with general health in Iranian patients with heart disease in Iran.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2022-2023 on 254 patients with heart disease hospitalized in the coronary care unit of Khatam Al-anbiya Hospital in Shoushtar County. The data collection tools included a demographic form, the health literacy instrument for adults (HELIA), and the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28). Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 20 and AMOS software, version 18 using independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation test, and structural equation modeling.

The mean age of the participants was 45.27±16.47 years. The health literacy of 101 patients (41%) was at a good and sufficient level, while 58 patients (23%) had low and insufficient literacy. The general health of 100 patients (39.37%) was at a moderate level, while 78 patients (30%) had low general health. With the increase in health literacy, the score of general health domains decreased (improved) (P<0.001). Older age and low educational level had a significant relationship with low health literacy (P<0.05).

The health literacy of the patients with heart diseases admitted to the study hospital is sufficient, and their general health is moderate. With the increase in health literacy, their general health can be improved. Understanding the relationship between health literacy and general health in cardiac patients can provide useful information to policymakers and health planners in Iran to promote the patient’s health literacy and general health.

Thalassemia is a common disorder in Iran and the world. The progress in the field of diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia made these people able to live for a longer period. In these patients, frequent blood transfusions are associated with numerous complications such as depression, anxiety, stress, etc. These problems are associated with a decrease in the quality of life. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate and compare the quality of life in beta-thalassemia major patients with and without blood transfusion.

In this study, which was cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical in nature, a total of 170 patients with thalassemia major, aged 18-60, who were referred to the Thalassemia Center of Bo Ali Sina Hospital in Sari during the summer of 2014, were examined. The study was conducted with the ethical code IR.MAZUMS.REC.1402.18665 of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. According to the inclusion criteria, education level, and age range of the studied population, 116 patients out of 170 thalassemia major patients were studied. Considering that the number of thalassemia major patients with and without blood transfusions referring to the thalassemia center of Bo Ali Sina Hospital in Sari is almost equal, out of 116 patients with inclusion criteria, 58 patients are treated with periodic blood transfusions and 58 patients are under control without the need for transfusions. Blood was studied. Thalassemia patients are treated with blood transfusion every 15-30 days for injection and patients who do not need blood transfusion every 1-3 months to the thalassemia center for control. SF 36 standard questionnaire was used to check the quality of life. The reliability and validity of the Persian questionnaire were reported with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.77 to 0.90 and vitality scale of 0.65. To analyze the variables, frequency indices, percentages, independent t-test, and chi-square test were used.

Among the thalassemia major patients studied, 52 (44.8%) were male and 64 (55.1%) were female. The average age in the group with and without blood transfusion was 34.75±8.35 and 39.33±8.18 years, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in the average age between the two groups (P=0.128). There was no significant difference in the marital status, occupation, and level of education between the patients with and without thalassemia major injection. Among the investigated clinical complications, diabetes was significantly higher in the blood transfusion group (P=0.001). From the average coefficients of the eight indices of the SF 36 test, the subscale of general health (GH) was significantly better in patients with blood transfusion with a mean and standard deviation of 55.79±19.20 than in the non-injection group, 44.05±21.59 (P=0.002).

It is suggested that in patients with thalassemia, especially thalassemia major, with or without blood transfusion, like other periodical control measures and medical treatment, evaluation of general health and quality of life should be carried out at regular intervals, to improve the quality of life of these patients, timely psychological or psychiatric interventions to be done at the required time.

Timely assessment of health status and the adoption of preventive measures, especially among the military, reduce health injuries and minimize complications. Accordingly, the present study was conducted to determine the general health status of military forces in different countries of the world.

In this review study, articles published between (2005-2020) were reviewed. In order to obtain relevant scientific documentation, the references were searched in credible databases. Persian and English databases, including Academic Database of Academic Jihad (SID)), Magiran Database, Iranian Medical Science Database (IranMedex), PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ProQuest, Ovid, Science Direct and Elsevier were searched. The selected keywords used in the search strategies, after examination in MeSH, were “General health”, “mental health” and “Military force”, finally 48 articles were included.

Studies have shown that the state of general health, especially mental health in soldiers and military forces has been considered. In most studies, this group general health was low and had more health problems (mental and physical) than the general population. Discussion and

Since military forces are at risk of losing their health according to their job position and duties, therefore, obtaining information on physical and mental health is very important for them, and this requires educational interventions, counseling and workshops. 

Tobacco use, narcotics, drug abuse, consumption of alcohol, having unsafe sexual relations and other such behaviours are risky behaviors that tend to cause great concerns in families. Parents try to cope with high-risk behaviors through care strategies. The purpose of this research was to determine the typology of strategies for taking care of risky behaviors based on to the family socioeconomic status (SES).

This was a quantitative descriptive-correlational research including all the urban families of Tabriz, Iran, from among whom a sample of 384 families was selected by the multi-stage cluster method. Two measurement tools (checklist for high-risk behavior care strategies and a family SES questionnaire) were used to gather data, the one-way analysis of variance (F) test and linear regression being used to determine the relationships between the variables.

The means of strategies for taking care of risky behaviors were significantly different based on the SES of the family, the upper classes adopting a more appropriate (procedural) strategy to take care of children against risky behaviors than the lower classes.

Families with a medium and low SES use ineffective care strategies (inefficient and momentary) to cope with risky behaviors. In order to improve the public's health, it is necessary to adopt prevention-based cultural-educational policies to transform ineffective care strategies to procedural strategies.

Drinking alcohol, smoking, having unsafe sexual relations and violence are high-risk behaviors that are considered a serious threat to public and individual health, however, in some families, teenagers tend to these behaviors or some of them have experienced; But parents take care strategies to prevent the occurrence of these behaviors; Triple care strategies are family-based interventions, the most efficient of which is the process (procedural) strategy in caring for the tendency to risky behaviors or their control. The purpose of this research was the typology of strategies for taking care of high-risk behaviors according to the SES of the family.

This research was a descriptive-correlation quantitative research. The statistical population included all urban families of Tabriz in 2022, according to Cochran's formula, 384 families were selected by multi-stage cluster method. In order to collect information, two measurement tools were used (checklist of strategies for taking care of high-risk behaviors and questionnaire of SES of the family). One-way analysis of variance (F) and linear regression with SPSS 26 were used to investigate the relationships between variables.

The findings showed that the average strategies for taking care of high-risk behaviors are significantly different based on the SES of the family, and the higher socio-economic classes prefer more appropriate strategies (efficient, procedural or procedural) than the lower classes. To take care of children against risky behaviors.

Families with medium and low SES (which includes a high percentage of families) use relatively more ineffective care strategies (inefficient and occasional) to control high-risk behaviors; In order to improve the general health of the society and reduce the burden of diseases, it is necessary to adopt policies and implement prevention-based cultural-educational programs to transform inefficient care strategies into a (procedural) process.

The right to health is among the most important human rights. This right can be influenced by certain factors such as the data induced through advertising. Therefore, legal systems have always taken approaches towards prohibiting or restricting the advertisements that endanger health. Throughout history, tobacco companies have advertised tobacco using various strategies, some of which have been subject to debate in terms of "rights" and at times, "ethics". Therefore, recognizing the advertising strategies in this field is of great importance. The purpose of conducting this research is to investigate whether some methods of tobacco advertising, in different eras, have resulted in "the violation of rights", or tobacco advertising is only an ethical issue.

The present research is a narrative review. The data has been collected through library and internet sources, besides referring to legal documents, books and articles. Ethical Considerations: Throughout all the stages of writing this research, authenticity, honesty and integrity have been observed.

The analysis of tobacco companies' advertising strategies indicates that, with the aim of making more profit, these companies have managed to accumulate a significant portion of capital through quite known advertising strategies: targeting women and children; inducing the sense of freedom, power and independence and some other misleading methods.

Prohibiting and restricting tobacco advertising is a crucial issue in protecting public health. Therefore, managing public affairs in the domain of health implies considering restrictions or prohibitions where necessary. Since advertising is a means of conveying specific messages and persuading the audience to achieve certain goals, it is essential to recognize the advertising mechanisms used by major tobacco companies. This knowledge can be used in future public actions such as determining precise prohibitions or reconsidering advertising restrictions.

One of the ways to prevent corona virus infection is to follow health protocols when preparing, baking and buying bread in bakeries. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the general health of bakers and provide them with the necessary training in this regard. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the general health status and educational needs of the employees of the bakeries of Baft city in the field of prevention of corona virus infection in 2021.

This research was a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted on the employees of bakeries in the city of Baft as an available sample of 135 people. Information using three questionnaires, including the standard questionnaire for measuring public health, the standard questionnaire for measuring the level of awareness. The health performance checklist and the researcher-made attitude measurement questionnaire were collected face-to-face during four months, and statistical tests of mean, standard deviation, Z-score, chi-square, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. The response rate to the questionnaires was (%100).

The results showed that the general health status of Baft city bakeries employees is not suitable with the mean and standard deviation of (71.25 ± 7.25), also the status of their general health dimensions including physical dimension, anxiety and insomnia dimension, social health dimension and depression dimension are inappropriate. Was. Examining the educational needs of the participants in the field of prevention of corona virus infection with the mean and standard deviation of (42.96 ± 4.49) showed a favorable situation in the field of awareness, performance and attitude. A weak correlation was reported between general health score and educational needs, which was not statistically significant, (P = 0.312). There was a significant difference between the educational needs of Baft city bakeries based on the factors of age, work experience, income and baking type (p ≤ 0.05), but based on the factors gender (0.970), married (0.317), education (0.798) and type of activity (0.648) was not statistically significant (p 0.05).

Based on the obtained results, the general health status and general health dimensions of the bakery workers in Baft city, including the physical dimension, anxiety and insomnia dimension, social health dimension, and depression dimension, were not appropriate; However, their awareness, performance and attitude regarding the prevention of corona virus was in a good state.

Public health is important in all aspects of life, including personal, social, and professional. Nurses not in good physical and mental condition faced problems in managing their organization. This study aimed to investigate the general health status of nurses in Kerman hospitals. This study had a descriptive-analytical design. The statistical population included all hospital nurses in Kerman; 500 nurses were selected using proportional sampling. The instruments included the Goldberg General Health Scale (GHQ-28) and a demographic and background information questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent t-test, and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data using SPSS-24 software.   The mean and standard deviation of nurses’ general health score was 1.25±0.71. Most nurses (77.6%) suffered from some degree of physical and mental problems and, consequently, did not have the necessary general health. Also, male nurses had higher general health than female nurses (P<0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between general health and other variables.  More than half of the nurses suffered from some degree of physical or mental problems and were not in good general health. Therefore, it is suggested that the relevant officials at the Ministry of Health and nurses at the studied hospitals prioritize specific programs and strategies.

In the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses were subjected to stressful conditions, which necessitated the need for psychological-supportive interventions. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the educational-therapeutic package based on psychological flexibility on the quality of work life and general health of COVID-19 nurses.

This study was a single-blind clinical trial. Based on the clinical interview, 30 people were selected from the population of 120 nurses working in Isa Bin Maryam Center for Covid-19 Hospital in Isfahan city in the winter of 2019 and were randomly assigned to two control and intervention groups. The study tools were Walton's Quality of Work Life Questionnaire and General Health Questionnaire (PHQ) and psychological safe exposure educational-therapeutic package based on psychological flexibility. The data were analyzed in SPSS 24 statistical software with univariate analysis of covariance method.

The average scores of the quality of life and general health of the two groups before the study had no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). After the intervention, the average quality of life scores of the experimental and control groups were 74.7 and 72.6, respectively, which did not have a statistically significant difference, but the average scores of the general health of the experimental and control groups were 31.7 and 38.8, respectively, which was a statistically significant difference.

the application of the therapeutic educational package based on psychological flexibility has been able to have a positive and significant effect on the general health components of nurses; Therefore, it is suggested to pay attention to these educational packages in educational planning and nursing management policies.
