The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sexual health literacy levels and Sexual assertiveness in married women of reproductive age. Methods : This study was performed with a sample size of 200 married women in reproductive age who were referred to Banaruyeh health center in the south of Fars province, Iran through available sampling method. The instruments used in the study included a researcher-made demographic_ reproductive questionnaire, sexual health literacy for adults (SHELA) questionnaire, and the Sexual Assertiveness Hulbert Index (HISA) . The data obtained from this study were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS software version 21. Results : The mean age of participants was 31.65 ±5.95 years. The mean score sexual assertiveness was 58.9 ± 6.95. A quarter of women had excellent sexual health literacy. The results of analysis of covariance showed that people with inadequate, not enough and sufficient sexual health literacy levels had lower mean sexual assertiveness scores than those with excellent sexual health literacy levels (p˂0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between sexual fulfillment score and occupation, spouse occupation, economic status and delivery history and between sexual assertiveness score with age, age of spouse, number of pregnancies, number of abortions, inverse and statistically significant relationship (p ˂0/05). Conclusion: The results showed that higher levels of sexual health literacy were associated with higher scores of sexual assertiveness.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Pilates combined with standard complete decongestive therapy (CDT) on heaviness and cardiorespiratory fitness in breast cancer patients with lymphedema. Methods: Thirty breast cancer patients with lymphedema were included in this randomized double-blind study. Patients were randomly and equally assigned into two groups: Pilates plus CDT group (n=15) and control group (CDT only). All patients were treated with CDT for six weeks (acute phase for 3weeks and maintenance phase for 3 weeks). Heaviness and cardiorespiratory fitness were assessed by visual numerical scale and Rockport walking test respectively. Then, the changes and consequences were evaluated before and after treatment in both groups. Analysis of covariance was performed. Results: The mean age (SD) of patients in the study was 56.3 (6.1) years. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of clinical and demographic variables. The results showed that the severity of heaviness was significantly reduced in both treatment groups, but there was no statistically significant difference between groups (p=0.37). Cardiopulmonary fitness (Vo2peak) increased before and after exercise intervention between control and experimental groups and a statistically significant difference was observed (p=0.038). Conclusion: No adverse effect of Pilates exercise was observed among the participants in this study and the intervention improved the cardiorespiratory fitness. The results of current study suggest that Pilates can be considered as effective intervention along with CDT for treatment of lymphedema.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129626416","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}

Despite recent progressions in medical care and treatment for VLBW children, the mortality rate is high in this group of children. The present study was performed to better identify the survival rate of these children and the problems that affect the survival of this group of infants in the short and long term. Methods: The study population was all infants weighing less than 1500 grams or infants who borne at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy. Infants whom birth occurred from the beginning to the end of 2018 in hospitals in Tehran were included. Information about these children was provided by the Family and Population Health Office of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. Sampling was non-random and all information about the infants under study was recorded in a questionnaire. All data from the study were entered into SPSS-22 software and the results were presented using descriptive and analytical statistics. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier test and the effect of variables on survival was evaluated using multivariate Cox model. Results: A total of 338 children were studied. Based on the results of cox regression models, the probability of one-month survival of children was about 68% and the probability of one-year survival was about 60%. Of the 10 variables affecting the survival of VLBW infants and children under study, 6 variables of maternal education, number of pregnancies, parent and infant insurance, gestational age, birth weight and maternal vaccination before pregnancy were significantly related with the death of infant (P ≤0.05).

Methods: The study applied scientometric and Altometric indicators. The five subject areas (\"Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology \", \" Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics \", \" Immunology and Microbiology \", \" Chemistry \", \" Engineering \") of Tehran University of Medical Sciences was selected according to the subject classification of Scopus Citation Database. Data were extracted from Scopus, Altmetric and Scival databases. To analyze data Microsoft Excel software and SPSS 22 was used. Results: The results showed that \"Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology\" had the most and \"Engineering\" had the least products, citation and h-index. \"Engineering\" and \"Chemistry\" had better performance in terms of the quality of research outputs according to the \"Percentage of Papers Published in High-Quality Journals\" and \"percentage of Highly-Cited Papers\" indicators. The subject area of \"Immunology and Microbiology\" was at a lower level in terms of citation criteria than other subject areas. About 30 percent of the outputs were on social media, receiving the most mention and bookmarking on Twitter and Mendely at all times. There was a statistically significant relationship between the number of bookmarking and the altmetric score with the number of citations received by the outputs in Scopus. Conclusion: Social media could have a positive effect on increasing public health awareness and literacy, as well as increasing the citation of research outputs. Since the research outputs of Tehran University of Medical Sciences did not have a favorable presence on social media, it is necessary for the researchers of this university to increase their visibility and increase the citation of their outputs by actively participating and sharing their works on social media.","PeriodicalId":235399,"journal":{"name":"Health Monitor Journal of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125486947","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}
