 Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder. Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent disease affecting these individuals from middle age onwards and leading to numerous problems for individuals, their families, and their caregivers. To develop Alzheimer's prevention strategies for Down syndrome, it is of utmost importance to understand the factors that contribute to its development, such as psychological foundations. The present study aimed to analyze personality and lifestyle in slow-paced adults with Down syndrome with and without Alzheimer's disease.

This qualitative research was conducted based on a descriptive phenomenological design. The research population consisted of adults with Down syndrome (60 cases without Alzheimer's and 10 subjects with Alzheimer's), their parents, and caregivers in Kermanshah province in 2023. In this regard, data collection was carried out through access to medical records of individuals in the Welfare Organization and also semi-structured interviews with these individuals who were purposefully selected until reaching the stage of theoretical saturation. Data analysis was performed using the Clausi method, and the main and sub-themes were identified. For final validation, the criteria of validity and reliability were used.

The findings from the data analysis resulted in the extraction of 3 main themes (social-psychotic-coping skills), 14 sub-themes in personality dimension, and 9 main themes (sleep-physical activity-occupation-physical health-weight control and nutrition-personal hygiene-smoking and alcohol consumption-leisure time-doing things independently) and 21 sub-themes in the lifestyle dimension.

The results of this study highlighted the role and importance of a healthy lifestyle and adaptive personality characteristics in preventing Alzheimer's disease in slow-paced adults with Down syndrome. Therefore, it is suggested that preventive and awareness-raising programs in these two dimensions be developed and implemented by experts and official centers.

Compliance with ethical principles in research by researchers plays a fundamental role in providing evidence-based and practical findings, subsequently solving society's problems and advancing knowledge. Despite numerous educational workshops and awareness-raising efforts, some unethical research practices are still observed. Identifying relevant factors is essential for practical and preventive planning. In this regard, the present study aimed to identify psychosocial determinants related to the ethical performance of researchers in conducting and publishing research works. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach based on conventional content analysis. A total of 29 faculty members and researchers from the medical sciences universities in Iran in various fields and specialties were selected purposively and semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants. Qualitative content analysis was used to categorize data and Lincoln and Guba’s criteria were employed to evaluate data. Data analysis led to the identification of 136 codes, 20 subcategories, and 4 main categories. The factors related to the ethical performance of researchers in conducting and publishing research works derived from interviews with researchers included "Laws", "Social Learning", "Knowledge and Literacy", and "Psychological Characteristics". According to the findings of this study, the ethical performance of researchers in the field of research is the result of the interaction of social, individual, personality, and legislative factors. Some factors, like personality traits, are long-lasting, resistant, and personal, while social factors are widespread, common, and more general. Research policymakers and managers can improve the ethical performance of researchers and place ethics at the center of attention in research by implementing educational methods, culture building, and behavior change

Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic functional disease affected by various factors. Despite the effect of personality traits on the course of this disease, few studies have investigated the effect of personality traits on the severity of the symptoms of this disease. Therefore, the present research aims to predict the severity of symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome based on temperament and character of personality.

Methods and Materials: 

The method of this research was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this research included all patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome who referred to a gastroenterologist’s private office in, 2021, which was based on the available sampling method and based on entry and exit criteria were that 242 people were selected using Morgan's table. The participants responded to temperament and character inventory (TCI-125) and irritable bowel syndrome-symptom severity scale (IBS-SSS). The data were analyzed by Pearson correlation and stepwise regression via SPSS 22.

The results showed that 54.3% of the variance in the severity of symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome is explained by temperament and character traits. Among the temperament and character traits, in order, self-directedness, novelty seeking, Harm avoidance, self-transcendence and reward dependence have the greatest effect on the severity of irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and their predictability, but persistence and cooperativeness cannot predict the severity of symptoms.
