    Background

    The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has put a great burden on global health and healthcare systems. There is controversy regarding the possibility of vertical transmission of COVID-19. This proposed systematic review will be done to assess the possibility of vertical transmission of COVID-19 based on currently published literature.

    Methods

    In this study, all published observational studies, including cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies, as well as case reports and case series, in peer-reviewed journals in any language until the end of July 2020 will be assessed. Editorials, commentaries, and letters to editors will be excluded from the review. Searching will be conducted using international bibliographic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist. The search strategy will be improved and finalized based on the results of the primary search. Data extraction of the included articles will be performed by two researchers using the Zotero and review manager (revMan) software. The heterogeneity of the articles will be assessed using DerSimonian & Laird Q test and I2 statistic. The pooled estimated prevalence of vertical transmission of COVID-19 will be performed using the Metaprop command. Publication bias will be assessed using Begg’s rank correlation and the Egger weighted regression

    Background

    Emotional adjustment skills have recently been proposed as a new framework in the prevention of addiction in students. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of training emotional regulation skills on reducing addiction ability in high school male students.

    Methods

    The statistical population of the present quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test design and a control group was male high school students in Tabriz District 3 in the academic year 2018-2019. Accordingly, using the cluster sampling method, the students of one school were selected as the statistical sample and those with higher than the average score (above 21) were selected randomly and divided into the experimental (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. The experimental group was subjected to Emotional regulation skills training for 8 sessions, each session lasting 90 minutes for two months. During this period, the control group received no intervention. Theoretical Addiction Questionnaire was used for data collection. Covariance analysis was used to analyze the results.

    Background

    Metabolic syndrome is an asymptomatic disorder and an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification and self-management of health-promoting behaviors are the most important actions to control metabolic syndrome. This study was done to investigate the effectiveness of self-management interventions based on group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on lifestyle among adults with metabolic syndrome.

    Methods

    This research was a randomized clinical trial study. First, 80 adults with metabolic syndrome were selected using the convenience sampling method, and then, using the randomized blockchain method, they were divided into two groups of 40 people (intervention and control groups). Data collection using the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II Questionnaire (HPLP II) was performed in two stages before and three months after the intervention. Teaching self-management interventions based on cognitive-behavioral therapy was done twice a week for eight 90-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, independent t-tests, and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). A P-value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

    Results

    the results of ANCOVA showed that self-management intervention based on group CBT had a significant effect on the dimensions of lifestyle, including exercise and physical activity with an effect size of 0.51, nutrition with 0.49, health responsibility with 0.39, and stress management with 0.32 (P<0.05), but it did not significantly affect the two dimensions of self-actualization and spiritual growth (effect size= 0.003, P=0.669) and interpersonal relationships (effect size= 0.029, P=0.151).

    Conclusion

    Self-management interventions based on group CBT can improve lifestyle and some dimensions in adults with metabolic syndrome. Identifying people with metabolic syndrome and performing effective interventions with the active participation of the individual through self-management based on cognitive-behavioral therapy seem necessary.

    Background

    Psychological well-being is a multidimensional concept that is typically defined as a mixture of positive affective states, such as satisfaction and functioning with optimum life efficiency. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between weight efficacy lifestyle dimensions and perceived parental styles dimensions with psychological well-being among university students. 

    Methods

    The statistical population of this correlational study was all undergraduate and master students of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in the academic year 2016-2017, of whom 180 students were selected through multi-stage random cluster sampling. They were assessed by Clark’s Weight Efficacy Life Style (WEL), Grolnick’s Perceptions of Parents Scales (POPS), and Keyes & Magyar-Moe’s Psychological Well-being questionnaires. In addition, the demographic questionnaire was completed. Data were analyzed by SPSS V. 24 using descriptive statistics and simultaneous regression. 

    Results

    According to the findings of the study, there was a positive and significant relationship between weight efficacy lifestyle and its two subscales of negative emotions and physical discomfort with psychological well-being, and there was a negative and significant relationship between perceived parenting style and all its subscales with psychological well-being. However, 36% of changes in psychological well-being were predicted by physical discomfort, mother’s autonomy support, and mother’s warmth. 

    Conclusion

    Overall, the findings of this study support the role of weight efficacy lifestyle and perceived parenting styles variables in student psychological well-being.

    Background

    Human beings are a social species. Marriage is an important step in human life because many of the main human needs are met after marriage. The purpose of this research was to study the tendency of single mothers to remarry, and the variables and barriers involved. The conceptual framework for this study involves a mix of social concept theories, Maslow’s necessity hierarchy, Eisen’s reasoning theory, and Lewin’s Psychological Field Theory on barriers.

    Methods

    The current study used a qualitative technique (fundamental theory) for coding, editing, categorizing, and analyzing information. To the best of our knowledge, a fundamental theory analytical technique has been used to classify and evaluate information. For this purpose, eleven single mothers (all with kids) were surveyed in Gonabad city. Despite their inclination to build a connection between structure and interaction and by mixing information with theory, the scientists attempted to design the procedure for mothers’ celibacy.

    Results

    The data analysis included coding of three main core levels, eleven first-category items, and 27-second category items. The main focus was feminism, social isolation, inappropriate cultural structure, social suicide, and the display of spiritual and material life.

    Conclusion

    The results showed that single mothers not only tend to remarry but also seriously need to be married. However, the inner and outer variables stop them from remarrying. Therefore, they are looking for a replacement that leads to their social isolation. Facilitative strategies to pave the way for their remarriage can therefore assist them considerably.
