Introduction: Diabetes is a common disease that leaves serious complications. Educating the patient about the disease and self-care methods can prevent negative consequences, but few patients participate in self-care education. The present study explains the understanding and beliefs of diabetic women about the barriers to participating in self-care empowerment programs.Materials and Methods: This qualitative research was conducted in Sabzevar city. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants and theoretical sampling was also used to complete the classes. Data was collected by semi-structured interview. A total of 21 diabetic women were interviewed for 6 months. The interviews were analyzed with Graham and Landman 's content analysis method. To ensure consistency and accuracy of data, credibility, transferability, dependability,and conformability criteria were assessed. Results: The results of the qualitative content analysis led to the extraction of 4 main categories including "scientific information related to the disease and self-care", "the way the doctor deals with the patient and the disease", "the physical and mental health status of the patient" and "beliefs and opinions".Conclusion: According to the findings of the research, it is recommended to design interventions for physicians in order to establish more interaction between physicians and patients, considering the influence of their recommendations and behaviors on patients' decision to participate in self-care and attend educational programs

Introduction: Social media addiction is one of the serious problems in the recent century that numerous scales and questionnaires have been designed to measure it. Considering the strengths and weakness of each tool, it is necessary to have a reliable and valid tool which is compatible with Iranian culture. Therefore, in the present study, Sahin’s questionnaire was translated and its psychometric properties was assessed.Materials and Methods: It is a methodological study on 12-18 years old high school students at Sepidan. The questionnaire was translated and re-translated by experts and its psychometric properties were assessed using qualitative and quantitative content and face validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, McDonald’s omega, Cronbach’s alpha and also test-re-test.Results: During translation and qualitative face validity, some changes were made in the scale items. The Importance Score of all items were higher than 1.5. But in content validity, the CVI of some items were low that after some revision they changed to 0.7 and higher. In assessing Content Validity Ratio of items, the item number 4 achieved a critical number less than the Lawshe table and was omitted. Therefore 28 items entered in factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis categorized the items into 4 subdomains and the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed fitness of the model.Conclusion: Sahin’s social media addiction scale (2018) had a good validity and reliability in the Iranian students and it seems to be an appropriate tool for assessing social media addiction in adolescents.

The data analysis was performed using SPSS.20, the data with Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman descriptive and analytical statistics tests.Results: Considering the mean scores obtained, there is a significant relationship between marital status and attitude and performance (p <0.05). There is no significant relationship between gender and knowledge and attitude, but there is a significant relationship between gender and performance (p <0.05) that women performed better than men. There is a significant relationship between age groups and knowledge and attitude (p <0.05). There is a significant relationship between income and attitude and performance (p<0.05). Housewives have both more knowledge and better performance than other occupations.Conclusion: According to the results of the study, most people have sufficient knowledge and attitude about the principles of health care and methods of disease transmission.

Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 359 people living in the margin of Sabzevar city. Data were collected by questionnaires. Collected data was analyzed using SPSS16 software (descriptive and analytical statistics) using Correlation Coefficients andT -test and ANOVA.
Results: Most of the subjects had enough health literacy with 54.9%, and only 7.5% had inadequate health literacy level. In addition, 37.6% of people had a borderline health literacy level. The mean of health literacy in men was 84.49 ± 13.66 and the mean of health literacy in women was 86.67 ± 14.02, and also there was no significant difference in health literacy between the two sexes.Of the 359 people surveyed, the highest scores of 206 (57.4%) were moderate and the remaining 153 (42.6%) were poor and none of the subjects scored Have not gotten strong.here was no significant relationship between total health literacy and self-care, but there was a significant relationship between total health literacy with dimensions of self-care including mobility / fatigue, happiness, social functioning and pain.
Also, self-care alone had a meaningful relationship with dimensions of health literacy only with the skill dimension of activity, and with other aspects of it there was no meaningful relationship.
Conclusion: On the other hand, due to attention It was suggested that only half of the people had adequate health literacy, and none of them had proper self-care status. Therefore, effective measures are needed to increase the level of health literacy and consequently self-care promotion.

Data were analyzed using SPSS software and t-test, Chi-Square / Fisher's Exact and Pearson statistical tests was analyzed. Results: The results showed that the most pain and discomfort reported among the participants were in the lower back (54.32%), back (51.16%), neck (44.24%), and shoulder (38.97%), respectively. Moreover, knee (36.02%). It also showed a significant relationship between age, work experience, exercise and gender with musculoskeletal pain (P-value <0.05). There was a significant relationship between chair score with pain in back, back and knees and mouse and keyboard score with pain in shoulder and wrist (P-value <0.01). Conclusion: The high prevalence of musculoskeletal pain and the high score obtained in the ROSA method among hospital staff is evidence of the need for ergonomic interventions among them.

This study aimed to design and assess a comprehensive questionnaire about the violence against women in an Iranian population.Materials and Methods:This study was a sequential exploratory mixed method.. According to the results of the qualitative Research and the revising of texts ,the primitive instruments were designed. Face validity ,content validity (by measuring content validity toward content validity index)and construct validity(by analysis of exploratory factor) were used to determine the validity of instruments and therefore internal consistency and test-retest method were used to determine reliability of instruments.In face validity 7items were excluded due to a score less than 1.5.In content validity by taking the 0.79 cut-off point to assess content validity index and 0.59 cut-off point to 34 items were elimented. And thus the number of items reduced to 58. validity by exploratory factor analysis was performed. Exploratory factor analysis suggested a six-factor model items including: Social factors undermining family stability, unhealthy life skills of couples, improper and insufficient teachings to couples , unhealthy treating of wives toward their husbands, Family support paradox, immediacy. These six factors explained 75% of variance violence against women. therefore internal consistency and test-retest method were used to determine reliability of instruments(α=0.987), (ICC=0.992).Considering that all validity and reliability indexes of the questionnaire are reported in an appropriate level, violence against women’ questionnaire can be used as a valid and reliable questionnaire in measuring domestic violence in Iranian married men. However ,future research is recommended to evaluate usability of the study in other cultural settings.
