In recent years, more attention has been paid to parent-focused behavioral interventions for the treatment of childhood obesity. Accordingly, this study was conducted with the main objective of reviewing the effectiveness of parent-focused interventions in the treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity, and with the sub-objective of assessing the rate of attrition in selected studies.

1476 articles between1957-2021, with a variety of keywords related to intervention, parent, obesity, and overweight, in the age range of 6-18 years, from the databases of PubMed, Science Direct, and PsyINFO, were identified in the first stage. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria and reviewing related articles, finally, ten randomized controlled trial (RCTs) studies, that their main outcome was a decrease in body mass index (BMI), were systematically reviewed. The standard method of evaluating Population,-Intervention-Control groups- Outcomes (PICO) in selecting, and the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) in evaluating of the quality of the articles was used.

The range of decrease in standard scores of body mass index at the end of the interventions was between 0.06-0.31, and at the end of 13-24 months follow-up was between 0.16-0.42. The mean attrition rate by the end of the study was 32.3% (13% to 50%).

Comprehensive parent-focused behavioral lifestyle interventions are generally effective in reducing children's body mass index, but it is necessary to interpret the results of current articles with caution, and to conduct comprehensive and standardized research in future.

It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group design from the population of mothers with children with cerebral palsy in North Khorasan province,that 28 mothers were selected by available sampling and placed in two experimental and control groups. In the pretest, Garnfsky, Craig and Spinhaven (2009) and Schwartz (1981) general self-efficacy questionnaires were used. In the next stage, cognitive-behavioral therapy was performed on the experimental group. The control group did not received any intervention. After this step and after performing a post-test, the data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANOVA).

The findings showed an increase in the mean of the experimental group in the self-efficacy variable and all positive cognitive strategies for emotion regulation.On the other hand, increasing the general self-efficacy score and positive emotion regulation strategy and decreasing the score of mothers' negative emotion regulation strategy.

According to the findings of the present study we can replace negative emotions with positive ones by informing and helping cognitive reconstruction and reduce mothers' psychological harm.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the activities that increase the positive emotions of men and women during the quarantine period (due to the epidemic caused by the presence of the corona virus) according to the five needs of William Glasser.

The research method in this study was a combination (qualitative and quantitative) in which quantitative data played a complementary role to qualitative data. The research community in this study were people who chose quarantine lifestyle during the corona virus epidemic. The sampling method in the present study was purpose-based sampling and the sample size was 474 people (309 women and 165 men). In the qualitative part, the data were categorized and coded using the content analysis method. In the quantitative part, spss-21 software was used to describe the data, and the results were coded and analyzed based on Glasser's five needs theory.

Based on the results of the current research, 63 activities were extracted that were more prevalent among people during quarantine. Through these activities, people could satisfy all their needs and in this way create positive emotions in themselves. The inferential analysis of the findings of this research showed that there was a significant difference between men and women in the levels of the need for survival, love and freedom in all the activities performed, and among all the needs, there was a significant difference in the need for power and freedom between age groups. There was a significant difference in the studied case.

Based on the results of the present research, it can be suggested that people should do activities that satisfy their five needs while following the daily health protocols, and in this way achieve positive emotions and avoid negative emotions
