Mohammad Torkashvand Moradabadi*, Zahra Abedi Pages 501-512

Objective (s)

Mental and behavioral disorders might lead to several other diseases and are one the causes of mortality. This study aimed to study the sex and age distribution of deaths due to mental illness in Iran during 2011-2017.

Methods

Data were extracted from the Iran death registry developed by the Iran's Vital Registration Organization. As such based on the international classification of diseases-10 [ICD-10] deaths from mental and behavioral disorders were analyzed. The percentage of each cause is determined by gender and age. The sex ratio index and years of life lost (YLL) due to premature death were estimated by age and sex.

Results

There were about 1,082 deaths from mental and behavioral disorders, giving a rate of 25 deaths in one million of population. The mortality rate has increased by about 25% over the period 2011-2017, and this increase was higher for men than for women. Death rate due to mental and behavioral disorders were higher for women over the age of 20 to 35 and higher for men over the age of 35 to 50. Calculating the index of YLL indicated that, the premature death due to mental and behavioral disorders led to the loss of 26064 person-year for the country in 2016.

Conclusion

Although deaths from mental illness and behavioral disorders in Iran were low, it seems that it needs serious attention. The occurrence of these deaths at young ages among women and adulthood among men suggest that economic and social conditions might have a role.

Objective (s)

The elderly people consume much of the home health care. Therefore how to organize home care services and identify the services needed is important in order to manage and control resources. The purpose of this study was to describe home health services status in Tehran, Iran.

Methods

A sample of elderly people receiving home health care during April 2017 to September 2017 was studied. The data was collected using a checklist. Data was entered into SPSS V.19 and analyzed by descriptive statistics.

Results

In all 278 elderly people were studied. Of these 59.4% were female and 65.2% were married and their mean age was 81 ± 2.5 years. The results showed that the most frequent services that needed were nursing service (55.4%), physician visit (17.0%) physiotherapy (15.0%). Medical services had a significant statistical relationship with the age and marital status of the elderly but non-medical services (physiotherapy, nursing and laboratory) had a significant relationship with gender, age, marital status and education (p≤0.05).

Conclusion

The findings showed that elderly people needed a variety of services. Also there were differences in the use of home health care among the elderly by age, gender, and other demographic factors. Overall, it is necessary for health care providers to understand the growth of the elderly population in the country and their needs in the coming years in order to plan appropriate programs and actions.

Objective (s)

The numerous and complex treatments in women with breast cancer affect the body image of the patients. There are various ways to improve the body image of breast cancer survivors (BCS). This study aimed to review interventions to improve body image of women with breast cancer.

Methods

Several search engines including PubMed sites, CINAHL, ScinceDirect, Google Scholar, Magiran, Wiley online library, and SID were examined on the topic and the literature published between 2009 to 2020 were retrieved. Then, two independent reviewers using the consort checklist evaluated the quality of the studies.

Results

In all 186 studies were found. After adapting the inclusion criteria, 16 trials were selected for review. Overall iInterventions performed to improver body image in breast cancer patients were: psychological interventions (56.25%), and sport related interventions.(18.75%). The remaining interventions were related to other disciplines (25%). The shortest intervention was 20 minutes on a decision-making aid and the longest was Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for 24 weeks.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that evidence on interventions to improve body image body image is limited. Further studies are needed to provide sound evidence for improving body image for women who suffer from breast cancer.

Fatemeh Baghernezhad Hesari*, Mohammad Ali Morowatisharifabad, Gholamreza Sharifzadeh, Mohammad Reza Miri, Valiallah Vahdaninia, Reza Dastgerdi Pages 537-545

Objective (s)

The main life skills could promote adolescents' self-esteem. However, to teach all skills requires many resources and prioritization. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate on factors that predict self-esteem in adolescent girls.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 364 student girls aged 12-14 years old in Birjand, Iran in 2018 using cluster sampling. Data collected using the Life Skills and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaires. Self-esteem was the dependent variable and the ten main life skills were the independent variables. Statistical analysis was performed using regression in order to assess the predictive factors of self-esteem in adolescent girls.

Results

The mean life skills scores was 138.23 ± 80.26 and the mean self-esteem score was 4.98 ± 4.41. Regression analysis showed that among the ten main life skills, self-awareness (p<0/001), interpersonal relationships (p=0/004) and creative thinking (p=0/005) had a significant relationship with self-esteem. Interpersonal relationships influences creative thinking, and they both influence self-awareness. Self-awareness was the strongest predictor. In other words, the adolescent will have a higher self-esteem by knowing more about strengths and weaknesses and desire of themselves.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that in order to improve self-esteem among adolescents the focus should be on teaching self-awareness, interpersonal relationships and creative thinking skills.

Rahman Panahi, Leila Dehghankar*, Fariba Abdollahi, Mohammad Anbari, Narges Hosseini Pages 547-557

Objective (s)

Health literacy (HL) influences adoption of preventive behaviors for breast cancer. This study aimed to examine association between HL and adoption of breast cancer preventive behaviors.

Methods

This was a cross sectional study. A sample of students in Qazvin was selected using stratified random sampling method. The data collection instruments included: Health Literacy Instrument for Adults (HELIA) and breast cancer preventive behaviors.

Results

In total 375 students were studied. The mean score for the breast cancer preventive behaviors was 8.92±1.82 (out of 16). Among the five dimensions of HL, the highest mean score was for understanding and the lowest was for decision making and application of health information. Multiple regression analysis showed that the appraisal (β=0.252, P=0.024), decision making and application of health information (β=0.479, P=0.005) were the predictor of the adoption of breast cancer preventive behaviors that jointly explain 48.3% of variance in behavior changes.

Conclusion

The results indicate that in order to prevent breast cancer, educational programs need to focus on HL in general and on some specific skills in particular.

Objective (s)

About 90% of diabetes cases during pregnancy are due to gestational diabetes. This study aimed to assess risk factors for gestational diabetes in pregnant women.

Methods

A case-control study was conducted on 279 pregnant women with gestational diabetes and 346 non-diabetic pregnant women referring to health centers in Shushtar, southwestern of Iran, in 2017-2018. Demographic characteristics and information about risk factors for gestational diabetes were collected by a checklist. Data were analyzed by SPSS software using t-test, chi-square and multiple logistic regression analysis.

Results

The mean age of women was 27.88±5.49 years. History of macrosomia (P < 0.001), history of gestational diabetes in the previous pregnancies (P < 0.001), history of gestational diabetes in the family (P < 0.001), history of type 2 diabetes in the family (P < 0.001), and history of preeclampsia (P = 0.007) were identified as risk factors for gestational diabetes in univariate analysis, while history of gestational diabetes in the previous pregnancies and history of type 2 diabetes in the family were remained as risk factor for gestational diabetes in multiple logistic.

Conclusion

Due to the high incidence of adverse complications of gestational diabetes, designing a special care system in health services for pregnant mothers, especially mothers with a history of gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies and a history of type 2 diabetes in the family is recommended.
