Read More INTRODUCTION: Abortion is one of the most common complications of early pregnancy, whichemerges as a physically and mentally devastating experience. Due to the prevalence and importanceof postabortion mental health problems and their adverse effects on subsequent pregnancies, someinterventions should be made to reduce the resultant anxiety and depression. The present studyaimed to determine the effect of self‑care education on anxiety and depression among pregnantwomen with a history of spontaneous abortion.METHODS: This randomized quasi‑experimental study was performed on ninety pregnant womenwith a history of spontaneous abortion who referred to health centers in Zahedan in 2019. Thesamples were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two interventionand control groups. Between 6 and 16 weeks of gestation, the participants in the intervention groupreceived four sessions of 60‑min self‑care training over 2 weeks. On the other hand, the controlgroup received routine pregnancy care. Data collection tools included a demographic and fertilityevaluation questionnaire, a 6‑item short‑form of the state scale of the Spielberger State‑Trait AnxietyInventory, and a short form of Beck Depression Inventory. Posttest was performed 4 weeks afterthe end of the intervention. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) using statisticaltests of independent t‑pair, paired t‑pair, Chi‑square, and Fisher’s exact test.RESULTS: Based on the obtained results, there was no significant difference between the twogroups in terms of anxiety and depression scores before the intervention. Nonetheless, after theintervention, the mean scores of anxiety and depression in the intervention group were calculatedat 7.31 ± 1.31 and 4.71 ± 1.90, respectively. However, these scores were reported as 1.87 ± 13.46and 9.31 ± 1.59 in the control group, respectively (P = 0.0001).CONCLUSION: As evidenced by the obtained results, self‑care education is effective in the reductionof anxiety and depression in pregnant women with a history of spontaneous abortion. Therefore,health professionals and health‑care providers should enrich prenatal care programs with thesetraining sessions and provide women with peace of mind and comfort during pregnancy.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a pervasive disease, andits epidemic is spreading around the world. The only way to effectively fight against humanimmunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS is good‑quality health. The present study aimed to investigatethe effect of an educational intervention program on HIV/AIDS preventive behaviors based on theHealth Belief Model (HBM) in vulnerable women residing in peripheral neighborhoods.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a quasi‑experimental research conducted among 200vulnerable women, randomly selected from four community health centers in peripheral neighborhoodsin 2019 in Zahedan, Iran. The data were collected using a researcher‑made questionnaire, containingdemographic information, HIV knowledge, and the HBM constructs. Besides, the data were collectedbefore, immediately after, and 1 month after the intervention in both groups. Data analysis wasperformed in SPSS (version 24) using descriptive statistics, Chi‑square test, independent t‑test,repeated‑measures analysis of variance, and multivariate linear regression.RESULTS: The findings revealed no significant difference in the mean scores of knowledge andthe HBM constructs before the educational intervention (P > 0.05). However, after the intervention,this difference was significant in three time intervals (P < 0.05). Despite the effectiveness ofthe educational intervention in the mean scores of knowledge and the HBM constructs in theintervention group compared with the controls, the largest effect size was observed, respectively, inknowledge (d = 0.762) and perceived barriers (d = 0.612), and the smallest effect size was reportedin cues to action (d = 0.421). As well, the F‑statistic ratio (0.847) demonstrated that the selecteddemographic variables had failed to explain variations in knowledge mean scores (P = 0.497).CONCLUSION: HBM‑based training interventions were positive for HIV/AIDS prevention behaviors.However, training alone does not seem to have enough effect on behavior persistence. Therefore,further research is recommended to investigate the role of predictive factors, especially socialdeterminants of health and their relationship to different parts of the model, to take more effectivemeasures for behavioral stability at the same time as training.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Many women refuse to exercise during pregnancy due to lack of awareness andnot receiving training. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect of group andtelemedicine education on exercise during pregnancy by using the health belief model (HBM).MATERIALS AND METHODS: This quasi-experimental study was carried out in 2019 in Zahedan,and a total of 135 pregnant women participated in it. Samples were randomly assigned to the followingthree groups: group training (n = 45), telemedicine (n = 45), and control (n = 45). Group training waspresented in three sessions, and the telemedicine group received the educational content throughmobile applications. The samples completed the HBM questionnaire before and 6 weeks after theintervention. In addition, within 6 weeks after the intervention, they completed the exercise activityschedule. SPSS software Ver. 16 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for analysis, and datawere analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey’s post-hoc test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Mann–Whitney test.RESULTS: After intervention, the scores of HBM constructs and exercise levels in group training,telemedicine group, and control group, respectively, were as follows: perceived susceptibility25.91 ± 3.24, 25.51 ± 1.97, and 22.55 ± 3.78; perceived severity 27.48 ± 2.27, 25.13 ± 2.29, and22.51 ± 3.88; perceived benefits 27.28 ± 2.97, 25.68 ± 3, and 22.8 ± 3.05; perceived barriers10.69 ± 2.69, 10.66 ± 3.19, and 14.17 ± 3.14; cues to action 24.71 ± 4.35, 23.9 ± 2.48, and22.84 ± 3.02; self-efficacy 26.17 ± 3.05, 25.2 ± 2.82, and 22.51 ± 3.38; and exercise levels70.99 ± 20.43, 56.51 ± 21.99, and 37.62 ± 29.66. Group training and telemedicine led to significantimprovement in all HBM constructs and exercise levels (P < 0.05, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.003,respectively). Group training provided more improvement than telemedicine in the scores of perceivedseverity (P < 0.0001), perceived benefits (P = 0.001), cues to action (P = 0.02), and mean exercisetime (P = 0.001).CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that the HBM is a proper model for exerciseeducation in pregnant women. It is recommended to use HBM as a group training and telehealth inpromoting the rate of exercise in pregnant women.

The first test group wassubjected to group motivational interviewing during five sessions. The second test group was subjectedto distant multimedia training. No training was given to the third group as the control group. After3 months, the lifestyle questionnaire was completed in three groups. The results were analyzedby these techniques as statistical tests such as mean, standard deviation, relative frequency, andabsolute frequency were used. The inferential statistical tests such as paired t‑test and one‑wayANOVA were used, respectively, to compare the pre‑ and post‑mean scores and in each group andcompare the mean scores of lifestyle dimensions in three groups.RESULTS: Both motivational interviewing and multimedia education have been effective in changingthe lifestyle of the elderly, but according to the findings, motivational interviewing has a greater impacton elderly lifestyle. The total lifestyle score in four areas such as nutrition, self‑care, mental health,and physical activity was significantly different in the three groups after the intervention (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS: Each educational program can somehow improve behavioral skills in individuals.Effective teaching methods should address the learning difficulties and inability to learn during theaging period. The results of this study can be a step toward the elaboration of strategies for educationand promotion of healthy lifestyle in the elderly.
