Background & aim
Infertility treatment provides a good opportunity for implementing preconception care. The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of training based on Pender's health promotion model on infertile women’s lifestyle and self-efficacy in the preconception period.
MethodsThis is a quasi-experimental study using a non-randomized, pre-test and post-test design with a control group. It was conducted in the in vitro fertilization unit of a teaching hospital in Istanbul, Turkey in 2022. Three training sessions were provided to the intervention group (n=57) using Pender's health promotion model at the beginning and weeks 4 and 8 following intervention. The control group (n=57) was provided routine standard care without any training. Data were collected at the beginning (pre-test) and week 8 (post-test) using the demographic questionnaire, Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale, and Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale–Short Form. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 24 using independent t-test, analysis of covariance, chi-square, and paired t-test.
ResultsAfter training, the average post-test HLSBS-II score of the intervention group (152.71±22.61) was revealed to be significantly higher than that of the control group (133.17±20.78) (F= 18.718, P<0.05). While the average pre-test and post-test TISE-SF scores did not differ in the intervention group after the training (t= 0.526, p>0.05), the average post-test score of the control group decreased significantly in comparison with the pre-test score (t= 2.951, P<0.05).
ConclusionIt was found that training based on Pender's health promotion model positively affects infertile women’s lifestyle. Further studies are needed to examine self-efficacy following training in infertile women.

Background & aim
Menopause is one of the most important situations in which a healthy lifestyle becomes especially important. A health-promoting lifestyle could play a role in the prevention and control of diseases. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of positive psychological intervention on health-promoting lifestyle in postmenopausal women.
MethodsThis randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on 70 postmenopausal women who were randomly selected from women referred to the comprehensive health centers of Urmia, Iran between 2022 and 2023. The subjects were randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups. The women in the intervention group received positive psychological intervention during six sessions of 90 minutes weekly, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Walker's Health Promotion Lifestyle Questionnaire was used to collect data. Kolmogorov Smirnov, independent t, paired t, Mann-Whitney, and Chi Square tests were used to analyze the data.
ResultsThe difference in the average score of the total health-promoting lifestyle before and after intervention in the intervention group (11.68 ± 5.02) was significant compared to the control group (-2.25 ± 2.48) (P=0.000).
ConclusionBased on the findings of the current research, the use of positive psychological intervention is recommended as an effective psychological intervention to improve the lifestyle of postmenopausal women.

Background
Chronic renal failure and hemodialysis treatment not only affect the physical health of patients, but also jeopardize other aspects of their health, including psychological and social aspects, and reduce their quality of life.
ObjectivesAccordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of a training intervention developed based on Pender’s health promotion model on the lifestyle of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
MethodsAdopting a pre-test and post-test design with a control group, this quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2022 on 60 hemodialysis patients visiting Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Khatam al-Anbiya hospitals in Zahedan, Iran. The patients were selected using convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups (30 persons in each group). The participants in the intervention group received training based on Pender's health promotion model in six areas (nutrition, physical activity, health responsibility, interpersonal relationships, stress management, and self-actualization) during six 45-minute training sessions. Data were collected using Walker’s (1987) health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP-II) which was completed in three stages (before the intervention, one month, and three months after the intervention). Data were analyzed using the independent samples t-test, chi-square test, and repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a significant level (P < 0.05).
ResultsThe data analysis revealed that the mean total lifestyle scores before the intervention were not significantly different in the two groups (P = 0.47). However, the mean total lifestyle score of patients in the intervention group increased compared to the control group one month and three months after the intervention, repeated measures ANOVA did not show a significant interaction effect of time and group (P = 0.06). Similarly, the results of repeated measures ANOVA did not show any significant difference in terms of health responsibility (P = 0.61), stress management (P = 0.94) and relationships/social support (P = 0.22). Given the significant interaction effect of time and group in the repeated measures ANOVA in the dimensions of nutrition (P < 0.001), physical activity (P < 0.001), and self-actualization (P < 0.03), point-by-point comparisons were performed again by time and group with Bonferroni correction. The results showed that the mean score of nutrition significantly improved one and three months after the intervention compared to the pre-intervention phase (P < 0.001).
ConclusionsThe findings implied that the training intervention based on Pender’s health promotion model clinically improved the lifestyle of patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, sustaining continuous and lasting changes requires supportive programs and long-term monitoring. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to evaluate the effects of the intervention using the Pender approach.

BackgroundCoronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) became a public health threat to global public health in late 2019. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between lifestyle factors and the COVID-19 epidemiological indicators, including cumulative incidence rate, the cumulative rate of death, recovery rate, and case fatality rate.MethodsIn this ecological study, aggregate data were used. Information about COVID-19 for each country was retrieved from https://www.worldometers.info/ from the date of the first report until November 30th, 2020. The information on the prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity in 2019 was collected from https://www.indexmundi.com/. Moreover, the information on the prevalence of physical inactivity was obtained from the WHO website. We drew scatter plots of lifestyle factors based on COVID-19 indices.ResultsResults showed that the cumulative incidence rate and cumulative rate of death had significant direct correlations with the prevalence of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol consumption (P<0.05). This means that the countries with a high prevalence of obesity, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol consumption had increased indicators such as the cumulative incidence rate and cumulative rate of death (P<0.05). There were also significant inverse correlations between the recovery rate and the prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption (P<0.05).ConclusionThere are significant correlations between the cumulative incidence rate, the cumulative rate of death, and the recovery rate of COVID-19 with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to develop lifestyle modification strategies that can lead to reduction of the morbidity and mortality of this disease.Keywords: COVID-19, Lifestyle, Obesity, Physical Inactivity, Smoking

Background
Oral health issues, such as dental caries, periodontal disease, and oral cancer, represent significant challenges to global health. Proper and balanced nutrition plays a vital role in this context, as it is fundamental to overall health, which includes the condition of the oral cavity and teeth. Nutrition pertains to the specific nutrients absorbed by the body, while diet encompasses all nutrients and non-nutrients consumed. The quality of nutrition directly influences the growth, development, and metabolic functions of the periodontium. A deficiency in essential nutrients can lead to changes in the primary factors associated with periodontal diseases, and dietary choices can significantly influence the progression of these ailments. This review article provides a meta-analysis of the existing literature to evaluate the effects of dietary and lifestyle factors on the prevention of oral health problems.
MethodA systematic review of studies was performed from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library from 2000 onward to investigate the connections between specific dietary components, lifestyle habits, and oral health outcomes.
ResultsThe findings indicate notable correlations among elevated consumption of processed sugars, inadequate oral hygiene, and the use of tobacco and alcohol, all of which increase the likelihood of developing oral diseases. Conversely, a diet abundant in fruits, vegetables, and vital nutrients, along with consistent oral hygiene practices, is linked to a lower risk of these health issues.
ConclusionThis meta-analysis highlights the essential role that dietary and lifestyle modifications play in strategies aimed at preventing oral diseases

BackgroundThe current study aims to compare the effects of medication and lifestyle changes with medication alone on the quality of sleep in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.MethodThe study uses a mixed-methods approach to design a treatment for children with ADHD. It employs inductive thematic analysis to identifiy problems, and create a lifestyle modification package. The package is reviewed and approved by a panel of experts. The study evaluates the effects of two interventions on children with ADHD and sleep problems using a quasi-experimental design. The population consists of 7-11-year-olds from the Felavarjan region, diagnosed with ADHD and experiencing sleep issues. The study involves a combination of drug therapy and lifestyle modification, drug therapy alone, or no intervention.ResultsThe findings show that, when compared to the control group, there is a significant difference in sleep quality between the experimental groups that received medication and lifestyle adjustment and those that received medication alone (P<0.05). Children's sleep quality was significantly enhanced by the combination of medicine and lifestyle change, which proved to be more effective than medication alone.ConclusionLifestyle change combined with medication were found to be more effective in improving sleep quality in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder compared to medication alone. Based on the findings of the present study, lifestyle modification is suggested as a complementary approach to pharmacotherapy for reducing problems and improving sleep quality in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Keywords: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Iranian Traditional Medicine, Medication, Lifestyle, Sleep Quality

The present study determined the relationship between anxiety and depression with disease-related lifestyle in older people with prostate cancer.
Methods & MaterialsThis descriptive study was conducted during 2021 and 2022. A total of 250 older patients referred to oncology and urology hospital clinics and physician offices in the western region of Mazandaran Province (Noor, Nowshahr, Chalus, Tonekabon, and Ramsar cities), Iran, participated in the study. They were sampled using the convenience method. Data collection tools included anxiety and depression self-assessment scales and lifestyle-related prostate cancer questionnaires. The statistical tests of analysis of variance, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression were used to analyze data in SPSS software, version 18 software. A significance level of <0.05 was considered significant.
ResultsThe Mean±SD age of participants was 69.33±3.69 years. The results showed a significant relationship between anxiety and depression with disease-related lifestyle (P<0.001). Thus, an increase in anxiety and depression deteriorated disease-related lifestyle in older patients with prostate cancer. Furthermore, disease-related lifestyle was significantly related to economic status and education level (P<0.001) and worsened with poor economic status and illiteracy.
ConclusionAccording to the findings, higher anxiety and depression levels deteriorate lifestyle related to prostate cancer in the affected older people. Therefore, interventions to reduce anxiety and depression are recommended to improve the lifestyle of older people with prostate cancer.

Context:
Traditional medicine (TM) is widely used and holds significant potential for increasing Primary Health Care (PHC) coverage and achieving universal health coverage (UHC), especially in developing countries. Persian medicine (PM), an ancient form of TM, encompasses lifestyle principles known as "Hifz-o-Siha," which aim to maintain and improve health.This study seeks to explore whether lifestyle modifications based on PM can effectively promote health within the framework of PHC.
MethodsWe conducted searches across various databases, including Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Our search terms included Traditional medicine, Persian, Iranian, Health maintenance, Education, and Primary health care.
ResultsThree randomized clinical trials conducted between 2017 and 2019 examined the impact of educating individuals about PM's lifestyle principles on their quality of life and healthcare utilization. The results indicated significant improvements in all measured outcomes. Furthermore, six clinical trials focused on PM dietary modifications in the treatment of conditions such as obesity, infertility, nephrotic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In all these studies, PM diets demonstrated significant efficacy compared to conventional medicine.
ConclusionsLifestyle modifications based on PM recommendations have the potential to positively influence PHC and promote overall health. However, the incorporation of PM into national health systems faces challenges, primarily due to the limited availability of supporting evidence.
