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 aim of this studywas to evaluate the quality of life and its related factors in hypertensive patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was descriptive research. The sampling method wassimple random, i.e., 137 were selected among the ten health centers of the list of the existing patientsby simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire World Health OrganizationQuality of Life-BREF (Short Form-26). After collecting the questionnaires, the data analysis wascarried out using SPSS software and using statistical methods (e.g., number, percentage, mean,standard deviation, and MANOVA tests).RESULTS: The results showed that the mean score for the physical domain (52.82), the psychologicaldomain (50.26), the social domain (48.33), the environmental domain (46.1), and the total quality of life(49.60). Among the demographic variables, the education level variable (P =0.000), job (P = 0.013),and the duration of hypertension (P = 0.039) were significantly correlated with the quality of life ofpatients. The “levels of education” variables are significantly correlated with the physical domain(P = 0.000), psychological domain (P = 0.000), social domain (P = 0.000), and environmental domain(P = 0.000) of the quality of life. The “job status” variable is only significantly correlated with the socialdomain of the quality of life (P = 0.005). The “duration of hypertension” variable is only significantlyassociated with the physical domain of the quality of life (P = 0.011).CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study show that demographic variables such aseducational level, occupation, and duration of hypertension have a significant relationship with thequality of life domains of hypertensive patients. It is recommended that the principled education ofpatients is a step toward the improvement of the quality of life of patients.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Adolescence is characterized by a rapid phase of growth and developmentduring which the requirement of nutrition and micronutrients is relatively high. Although there is adecreasing trend in the prevalence of undernutrition among adolescents, the current prevalenceof undernutrition is still very high (41.9%). Adolescents with good nutrition knowledge are morelikely to follow healthy eating habits. In the light of this, the current study was planned to assess thebaseline nutrition‑related knowledge of adolescent girls and the effectiveness of nutrition educationmaterial (flipchart) in increasing their nutrition‑related knowledge.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A school‑based interventional study was conducted among adolescentgirls of class 9th of a school in an urban slum of Delhi. A structured pretested Knowledge AssessmentQuestionnaire consisting of 10 multiple‑choice questions in Hindi with a maximum score of 10 wasused. The intervention was a nutrition education session conducted by doctors of Community Healthdepartment using specially designed flipcharts covering important aspects of nutrition relevant foradolescent girls. A demonstration of food items and charts and flex material was also given. Thetotal sample size was 265 adolescent girls.RESULTS: Baseline knowledge as assessed by mean pretest score was poor (3.698 ± 1.81).The students’ baseline knowledge was significantly associated with mother’s educationalstatus (P = 0.024). There was a significant increase (mean difference was 1.7890 ± 0.1434) in thenutrition‑related knowledge of the participants after the intervention (P < 0.001). The proportion ofstudents who improved, i.e., 147 (55.47%) was more than proportion who deteriorated (25 [9.43%])after the educational session. This difference was found to be statistically significant (P ≤ 0.001).CONCLUSION: Nutrition knowledge was found poor among school‑going adolescent girls, whichsignificantly improved after the nutrition education session.

Read More BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Because the performance assessment of the health systemis used as the basis for decision‑making and demonstrates progress or failure in achieving the goalsof the health system, promoting the health system performance assessment can play a major rolein improving and enhancing the health system. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to identifyand prioritize the challenges of promoting the health system performance assessment.MATERIALS AND METHODS: There were two approaches in both qualitative and cross‑sectionalstudies. At first, using semi‑structured interviews with 52 performance appraisers, data relatedto the challenges of promoting the health system performance assessment were collected andthematically analyzed. Then, in cross‑sectional terms, the performance appraisers were providedwith researcher‑made checklists which contained a list of challenges to determine the priority ofchallenges by scoring. The data were handled and analyzed using MAXQDA Plus version 12 andMicrosoft Excel.RESULTS: Our results revealed five themes and ten subthemes on the challenges of promotingthe health system performance assessment. Themes (subthemes) included infrastructures (culturaland technological), implementation (organizational support, process, and responsibilities), humanresources (motivation and training), assessment (performance monitoring), and content ofmeasures (reliability and validity). We also prioritized 31 listed challenges in three priority groups,including below average, average, and above average.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that promoting the health system performance assessmentin Iran can be accomplished by allocating financial and nonfinancial motives to the performanceassessment staffs, using performance assessment results in policymaking, clarifying tasks ofassessment process executors, and reviewing and adapting the performance assessment indicesaccording to contingencies in the health system.
