Information technology (IT) is the study or the use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information or the use of any computers, storage, networking and other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and exchange all forms of electronic data nowadays.
In the present world, it seems that we are all and and the most of the bases and issues are depended somehow on IT. A profound revolution has taken place in communication technology today that has influenced talent, taste and the way of relationship in the world and IT has had some impacts on all areas and subjects and has made a new environment that was not available for anybody before and also created an opportunity for others to exchange their information and knowledge easily and in a piece of time

Music as a therapeutic non-invasive tool-could be used as an effective intervention in nursing practice. The aim of this study was to survey effect of music upon patients’ physiological parameters following open heart surgery. A quasi-experimental study was performed on 60 patients under open heart surgery referred to intensive care unit. Patients were randomly divided into two groups including experimental and control groups. Patients in experimental group listened to non verbal music for 30 minutes after surgery by headphones. The control group did not receive any intervention. Before and after intervention, physiological parameters was measured in two groups. A significant difference was demonstrated in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure and oxygen saturation of experimental group’s patients. But there was no significant difference in respiratory rate and diastolic blood pressure. As for music would reduce some of the physiological parameters, and have some advantages, it could be suggested to use for controlling physiological parameters following surgery.

Dialysis patients are classified as special cases.These patients have to face various physiological changes and lots of psychological stress. This research aimed to study the relationship between resilience with illness behavior in dialysis patients. The study population consisted of all dialysis patients who have referred to the diemoalysis unit (78 participants); all of them have taken census for sampling due to the low number of statistical. Data collection tools was the Connor-Davidson resilience scale and Pilowsky & Spence’s illness behavior questionnaire. There is a negative relationship significant between resilience with hypochondriasis, affective disorder, and denial of disease. The modified coefficient for the dependent variable of hypochondriasis is equal to 21; for affective control, affective disorder, denial of disease was 21.4, 22.4, and 29.5 respectively. These coefficients indicate that how amount of dependent variables are expressed by independent variables. According to the results, it is necessary that that psychological aspects of patients should be focused in the treatment of diseases.

Bank employees are at risk of musculoskeletal problems because of the physical and mental requirements of the job. Studies show that more than 60 percent of bank employees have been directly or indirectly involved in many factors, such as personal characteristics, conditions and workstations, stress and repetitive movements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the RULA and OCRA methods of risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in the bank staff. This study was carried out in order to assess the physical status of 80 the bank employees using two RULA and OCRA. According to the results, the average score RULA and OCRA are 4.13±1.14 and 0.300±0.088, respectively. Statistically significant t - tests show differences between RULA and OCRA assessment methods. The RULA scores for the three age groups were also not significantly different, as they also apply to the OCRA score. Though, there are similarities between the two methods especially in assessment of repetitive motion in upper limb, but OCRA method propose as appropriate method to MSDs risk evaluate, so is not recommended to use two method instead of each other.

Adolescence is accompanied by specific biological, cognitive, and identity changes. A decreased level of tolerance and identity anxieties are among the signs that can emerge during this period and affect students’ mental health and their quality of academic life. This study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness based on cognitive-behavioral therapy focusing on anger management regarding anxious thoughts. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design. The statistical population of this study included all male junior high school students studying at high schools in Chabahar. To this end, a corpus of 30 male junior high school students in Chabahar who obtained high scores on wells anxious thoughts inventory were randomly selected and then assigned to two groups of experimental and control (each constituting of 15 participants). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral anger management therapy and the control group did not receive such a therapy. To collect data for the present study, the wells anxious thoughts inventory was used. Results of the current study showed that the mean score of anxious thoughts obtained by the experimental group was significantly lower than that obtained by the control group in the posttest. The results of this study demonstrated that mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral anger management therapy can decrease anxious thoughts among.

Adjustment disorders are disorders that a person cannot match with a traumatic event. People with depression, anxiety disorder and depression are susceptible to abusive behaviors, therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of group behavioral activation on depression, anxiety and stress in adjustment disorders by using a single case design. Three chronic patients who met DSM-5 criteria for adjustment disorders were treated according to the treatment manual of group behavioral activation therapy. The treatment outcome was measured before, during and after the treatment using depression anxiety stress scales. The results revealed this treatment in reducing the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress was effective. The baseline scores of depression, anxiety, and stress in the first patient were 24.73, 17.54, and 28.70, respectively; the improvement rate in each of the subscales was 62%, 71% and 63%, and the overall improvement in the three subscales was 65%. For the second patient, the baseline scores of depression, anxiety, and stress were 27.73, 17.37, and 29.01, respectively; the improvement rate in each of the subscales was 54%, 68% and 59%, and the overall improvement in the three subscales was 60%. The improvement rate of the third patient was higher than that of the first and the second patients. The improvement rate in depression, anxiety, and stress was 61%, 60% and 67%, and the overall improvement in the three subscales was 63%. The overall improvement of the research variables was 62%. The results of these three patients indicated that the clinical effect of group behavioral activation therapy in treating the symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in patients with adjustment disorder and marital problems.

Resilience as flexible response to the pressures of daily life acts differently based on gender. Therefore, it can have mediating role in relation to the effect of gender on substance use. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of resilience and tendency to addiction regarding the effect of gender on substance use. 300 university students (124 males and 176 females) were chosen by the convenience sampling method and they were evaluated by the resilience scale, the tendency to addiction questionnaire, and a researcher-made questionnaire about substance use. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the tendency to addiction and substance use; there was a significant negative correlation between the tendency to addiction and resilience; there was a negative relationship between male gender and resilience; and there was a significant positive relationship between male gender and tendency to addiction. In addition, the proposed model fitted the data. Resilience has an important role in the prevention of substance use and those with high scores on resilience, despite a tendency to addiction, are less prone to substance use because of the ability to deal with difficult situations and flexible response to the pressures of daily life.

The impact of stress on physical and mental health is undeniable and today, many mothers have parental stress. This study aimed to examine effect of training of growth monitoring period to reduce parenting stress and improving the level of satisfaction of mothers' parenting. Study's population included mothers of children 1 to 4 years old that in the form of available sample were selected to participate in training. 93 mothers were included in the intervention group for training and 57 mothers were included in the control group in form of quasi-experimental design. Parenting stress scale and parental satisfaction scale were used to collect data. Results showed the training of monitoring period decreased parenting stress levels and increased parenting satisfaction (t=15.29, p=0.001). This training reduces the parent – child dysfunctional interaction, parental distress, and problematic child characteristic. It seems to help mothers during child-rearing and provide the necessary information to them about the child and their natural features and modification of mothers' false beliefs and knowledge in this field can be used for the protective role of mothers and their children in the face of stress, and facilitate the process of parenting.

Internet addiction is prevalent among students who often do not have the desired level of health literacy. This study aimed to determine the role of media literacy in health literacy and Internet addiction. The statistical population of this study comprised of female graduate students in Tehran. 183 participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The participants responded to health literacy scale, internet addiction scale, and media literacy scale. The results showed that information literacy had a significant and positive relationship with health literacy; however, it had a significant negative relationship with Internet addiction. It seems that media literacy can predict internet addiction and health literacy. This finding implied the importance of media literacy in increasing media literacy and reducing of Internet addiction.

Parents' beliefs and attitudes about parenting have a significant effect on their life satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess the satisfaction with life in parents based on parental myths of Iranian parents. To examine the parental myths, two questionnaires of Seidi's parenting myth with 69 questions and Kansas family life satisfaction with 4 items were used. Inferential statistics (multivariate regression) were used to analyze the data. The results showed that there wasa significant relationship between parenting myths and life satisfaction. In the best-of-breed prediction model for satisfying the lives of parents, the excessively calm parenting, efficacy, and pre-marriage-behavioral myths were able to predict the criterion variable. Excessively calm parenting myth contributed mostly to life satisfaction. The myth of pre-marriage-behavioral was also a negative predictor of life satisfaction. In sum, the results of this study showed that although parental myths seem to cause physical fatigue inIranian parents, in Iranian society, the level of satisfaction with life was high despite the efforts to improve the effective education of children.

Overweight and obesity are common issues that have increased in children and adolescents in recent years. Along the physical problems, the psychological state of these individuals has also been considered by researchers. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cognitive self-compassion and mindfulness on the educational well-being of overweight adolescent students. The research method was a pretest-posttest with a control group. The participants consisted of 60 male overweight students (each group, 20) who were selected through a purposeful sampling and were assigned to two experimental and one control groups. Two questionnaires including educational engagement scale and the pleasure of physical activity scale were used to collect data. One group received cognitive self-compassion and the other group received mindfulness training and the control group did not receive any training. According to the results that self-compassion training and mindfulness significantly increased academic engagement and enjoyment of physical activity. The findings showed that there was no difference between the two methods of increasing the pleasure of physical activity, but mindfulness training had a greater effect on increasing academic engagement. Overall, the results showed that these two methods could significantly increase the educational well-being of overweight students.

The rate of Exclusive Breastfeeding (EBF) varies from 23% to 47% in Iran. Few studies have utilized an appropriate theoretical framework to investigate the continuation of EBF behavior. Resorting to the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study was carried out to determine factors affecting EBF among women referred to health centers. Using multi-stage sampling method, 373 women were selected. Based on TPB, a questionnaire of theory based within demographic variables was designed for data collection. Prevalence of EBF was 72.4%. Moreover, father's educational level and father's job had a significant relationship with EBF behavior. In addition, significant negative relationships were found between EBF behavior and subjective norms as well as intention. As a result, intervention programs using the TPB can be helpful for promoting the continuity of EBF.
