Introduction: This study aimed to provide a thematic network of systematic HSE management elements in sports places.Materials and Methods: This study was an applied, qualitative, and thematic analysis research in terms of purpose, strategy, and implementation, respectively. The participants in this study were pundits and informed persons in the field of sports facilities management. The maximum variation sampling was conducted and the total number of participants was 11. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the required data and Lincoln and Cuba's (1985) assessment criteria including credibility, transferability, dependability, and conformability were used in the present study to check the validity.Results: The findings of this study indicated that the illustration of the elements in HSE management in sports facilities includes 6 global themes (occupational health activities, active planning and prevention, requirements, projecting, participation and monitoring, resource provisioning), 16 organizing themes (environmental health, Personal hygiene, hardware, risk management, incident management, safety requirements, legal requirements, environmental requirements, standardization, waste management, supervision, system integration, stakeholders engagement, financing, human resource provisioning (recruitment), and facilities/ equipment), and 75 basic themes. Conclusion: The thematic network provided in this study does not support the existence of any hierarchy among the elements of systematic HSE management; instead, it supports thematic buoyance that is necessary to emphasize the interdependence and interrelationship between them.

Introduction: Emerging Covid-19 disease has been described as an occupational disease especially for healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors affecting the prevalence of Covid-19 disease in healthcare workers (HCWs).
Materials and Methods: In this review study, indexed studies from December 2019 to January 2021 with the keywords such as Covid-19, Coronavirus, Healthcare and Risk Factor were searched in the electronic databases of Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar. Based on the search results 22 studies were included in the study.
Results: The risk factors for the outbreak of this disease among HCWs can be divided into 5 groups, including psychological, underlying, occupational, social and disease transmission risk factors. HCWs, as a high-risk group, in direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious substances, they have a large share in transmitting the disease to others. For example, the probability of transmission from physicians to family members is 20.8% and to others is estimated at 25%. An important factor in the transmission of the disease is distance. Distances <20 cm in routine examinations and <5 cm in detailed examinations by physicians provide the potential for high transmission of the disease to ophthalmologists. Age, lack of hand care, comorbidities and autoimmunity, poor sleep quality, work stress, lack of PPE, workload and close contact to COVID-19 disease have been identified as risk factors for the transmission the disease.
Conclusion: HCWs, can by observing health tips and educating patients, will play an important role in controlling COVID-19 disease.

Background: The aim of this research was to study the effects of eight weeks aquatic gymnastics Training on the Intensity of Low Back Pain in primiparous women. Materials and Methods: This cohort study was carried out sampling primiparous women (n=62, age range: 28-35 year) in the second trimester of pregnancy were Purposefully selected and divided into two control (n=30) and experimental (n=32) groups. The experimental group performed a 8 week aquatic gymnastics Training both in water and land in the presence of the researcher, with the collaboration of aquatic gymnastics experts and under the supervision of a medical specialist at specialty hospital of Sarem (Tehran-Iran). The Qubeck low back pain standard questionnaire and Burg exercise intensity measurement scale were utilized to compare the results between the pre-/ post-test. The paired t-test and Covariance were used for analysis by SPSS V.19. Results :The results revealed that a 8 week aquatic gymnastics Training significantly relieved the low back pain and promoted the general health of the primiparous women during the second trimester of pregnancy (P=0.001). The back pain intensity was increased in control group (P=0/023). Conclusion: Based on findings of the present study, as aquatic gymnastics Training can eliminate the low back pain and promote the general health among the pregnants, it can be suggested as a non-aggressive method

Background and Objective: One of the most important steps in providing services is to identify and prioritize community health problems. This study was designed and implemented to identify and prioritize problems and, also, to determine the factors related to the problem with the highest level of priority in Divandarh district, Kurdistan province.
Materials and Methods: This study was performed based on the North Carolina’s Community Health Assessment model which includes 8 steps. According to this model, the study was conducted in two phases. First, in steps 1 to 7, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to assess the community and to indentify the existing problems. In the second phase, i.e. in Step 8, a cross-sectional study was designed to determine the size of the major problem and its effective factors.
Results: Overall, 10 main problems were found in the first phase. After prioritization, unintended pregnancy was determined as the problem with the highest priority. Based on the results of the next phase, the prevalence of unintended pregnancy was 33%. This study found statistically significant relationships between unintended pregnancy and variables such as education level of spouses, residence, age, number of children, number of previous abortions and spouse's job.
