To better understand this behavior and related and mediating factors, this study was conducted to determine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship of Alexithymia and symptoms of Borderline Personality with non-suicidal self-injury behaviors in soldiers. Methods: The study design was descriptive-correlational through structural equation modeling. The sample of the study (n=254) was selected by convenience sampling method among all the army soldiers in Tehran, Iran in 2019. The soldiers completed the scales including the Deliberate Self-harm Inventory (DSHI), Borderline Personality Scale (STB), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) Short-Form, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory (CFI), and The Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire. Data were analyzed via Pearson correlation coefficient and the path analysis of structural equation modeling using SPSS-20 and Lisrel-8.80. Results: The NNSI is significantly correlated with a general score of Alexithymia (p=0.01, r=0.39) and borderline symptoms (p=0.01, r=0.64). However, it has a negative correlation with self-compassion score (p=0.01, r=-0.60). The self-compassion score is also negatively correlated with the general score of Alexithymia (p=0.01, r=-0.41) and borderline symptoms (p=0.01, r=-0.60). Moreover, the results of the path analysis showed that selfcompassion acts as a mediator between the relation of NSSI with Alexithymia and borderline symptoms. Conclusion: Self-compassion could be a protective factor against the negative effects of Alexithymia and borderline symptoms. In other words, the critical Alexithymia and borderline symptoms leading to NNSI behaviors are mediated by self-compassion. Thus, including this protective factor in preventive and therapeutic programs for NNSI in soldiers is highly recommended.","PeriodicalId":16394,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Military Medicine","volume":"22 1","pages":"1242-1250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43442371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In this clinical trial, 44 hemodialysis patients during random allocation divided into two Iso-whey and control groups. In intervention groups, Iso Whey protein powder was consumed for two months. The control group continued their routine diet. In all groups, before and after the intervention, nutritional status was evaluated based on Dialysis Malnutrition Score (DMS) and Malnutrition-Inflammation Score (MIS) scale.

The aim of this study was to determine the quantitative status of hospital wastes in selected hospitals of the Armed Forces in Iran and examine the adaptability of the current waste management practice with the fourth-generation accreditation model. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the amount of waste generated in eight hospitals of the Iranian Armed Forces were weighed daily for each hospital in 2019. The accreditation data were collected using the observation method following the standard fourth-generation accreditation checklist. Staff training time was determined by referring to hospital documents. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software (Version16.0). Results: The total daily waste production per active bed in the Iranian army hospitals was on average at 6.06 kg. There was a significant difference between various waste types (i.e., infectious, non-infectious, sharp, and chemical wastes) in the studied hospitals. The mean daily waste generated in hospitals with the open-heart operating rooms was also significantly different from the other hospitals (P<0.001). Evaluation of these results based on the fourth-generation accreditation standards revealed that the examined hospitals achieved 89% of the scores of waste generation indicators. In this study, there was no significant relationship between the training and the amount of waste. Conclusions: The fourfold difference between the minimum and maximum daily waste production per active bed in the Iranian army hospitals indicates that there has been non-compliance with waste production standards in some hospitals.

The professional spiritual health assessment should be done without measuring religiosity and inquisition. The purpose of this study was to design and validate a self-assessment questionnaire for the professional spiritual health of professors (soft war officers). Methods: This was a sequential exploratory study of instrument making. Data were collected in sequential chronological order. In the results interpretation part, data correlation was performed. In qualitative phase using the concept analysis method of Schwartz and Kim hybrid model with deductive/inductive analysis approach was done in three stages: a theoretical review of religious and scientific evidence, fieldwork with in-depth individual interviews and discussion in focus groups, final data analysis based on \"Contractual Content Analysis Method\", the initial version of the questionnaire was developed in the form of 73 initial measurable items. To determine the validity of the questionnaire, face validity, qualitative and quantitative content (CVR and CVI), structural validity, to determine reliability of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and stability were performed. Results: The CVR score in 67 items was higher than the Lewsheh table number (0.33). Five items without the required score were removed from the questionnaire. The results of CVI calculation showed that all items received a CVI score higher than 0.79. The final questionnaire had 67 items. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed the existence of a 7-factor model (model of spirituality, courage, kindness, wisdom, modesty, self-respect, justice) in the structure of items. Internal consistency of the questionnaire (with Cronbach's alpha of 0.9) showed that all items had a high correlation and were significant at the level of p <0.05. Conclusion: Using this questionnaire allows professors (soft war officers) to examine professional spiritual distress and diagnose spiritual problems. The use of spiritual care guidelines, daily self-calculation, enables cultivation so that they, in the position of spiritual mentors, can achieve the Islamization of the university and the fight against soft war.","PeriodicalId":16394,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Military Medicine","volume":"22 1","pages":"1209-1221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47238136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
