Diabetes disrupts a person’s psychological and social adjustment and coping strategies, resulting in psychological complications for the patients. Objective: This study aims to determine the role of personality traits in predicting resilience and coping strategies of patients with type 2 diabetes living in Bushehr City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 120 patients with diabetes who were referred to healthcare centers in Bushehr. They were selected through the convenience sampling method. The study data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, 60-item Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Personality Inventory, and Coping Strategies Questionnaire. In addition, descriptive statistics and linear regression tests were employed to interpret the data. Results: About 60.8% of the participants were female, and more than 90% were married and lived in urban areas. Based on the study’s results, there is a significant positive association between neuroticism and emotion-oriented (B=2.68, 95% CI; -0.666 to 4.701, P=0.01) and avoidance (B=2.60, 95% CI; -0.961 to 4.248, P=0.002) coping strategies. The results illustrated that neuroticism predicted resilience in patients with type 2 diabetes (B=-6.186, 95% CI; -11.632 to -0.741, P=0.026;), and the model predicted 9% of resilience (Adjusted R2=0.096). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, most patients with type 2 diabetes had neuroticism, which could decrease their resilience. Therefore, due to the increasing trend of diabetic patients in Iran, and considering the etiological factors, it is necessary to pay attention to the psychological and personality components of these patients to know and adapt more to their physical and mental conditions.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44776198","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}

Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the impact of couple-centered counseling on pregnancy anxiety and concerns in female adolescents. Materials and Methods: Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted on primigravida adolescents referring to health centers in Hamadan City, Iran. Using the convenience sampling method, 90 pregnant adolescents were assigned to two groups (intervention group=45, control group=45) using a randomized block design. Both groups completed the demographic questionnaire, pregnancy-related anxiety questionnaire, and Cambridge worry scale. The intervention group received five counseling sessions with the presence of their spouses, in addition to routine pregnancy care. The control group only received routine prenatal care. Posttest was taken four weeks after finishing the consulting intervention. The groups were compared in terms of pregnancy-related anxiety and pregnancy worry scores using the independent t-test, the Chi-square test, the Fisher exact test, and the analysis of variance or covariance. In case of a significant difference between the groups, Cohen’s d effect size was calculated. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, education, and occupation of adolescents and their spouses, duration of the marriage, housing situation, family members, and economic situation. The mean scores of pregnancy concerns in the intervention group (10.80±4.78) were significantly (P=0.001, Cohen’s d=2.41) lower than the control group (22.33±4.78). The mean scores of pregnancy anxiety in the intervention group (35.86±8.04) were significantly (P=0.001, Cohen’s d=2.74) lower than the control group (57.93±8.04).

Since healthy family relationships and normal marital interactions are affected by a woman's physical and mental health, any disorder in this area decreases marital satisfaction and consequently endangers the mental health and survival of the family. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of Fordyce happiness training on marital satisfaction and mental health in women with premenstrual syndrome. Materials and Methods: This randomized controlled trial was performed in 2018-2019. A total of 40 women with the premenstrual syndrome were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The experimental group received six sessions of the Fordyce happiness training program at weekly intervals in groups of 10. In both groups, the level of marital satisfaction and mental health was measured by Enriching and Nurturing Relationship Issues‚ Communication‚ and Happiness (ENRICH) marital satisfaction questionnaire, and the Goldberg Mental Health questionnaire three times: before, immediately after, and 45 days after the training sessions. The Chi-square test, Fisher exact test, independent t test, and repeated measures analysis of variance were conducted to analyze the obtained data. Results: The Mean±SD ages of the experimental and control groups were 32.45±7.33 and 33.10±6.25 years, respectively. The mean scores of mental health in the experimental group compared to the control group in the pretest, post-test, and follow-up (43.95±4.38, 41.20±5.73, 40.25±5.88) had a decreasing trend (P<0.05) but the mean scores of marital satisfactions in the experimental group (81.90±7.18, 86.35±8.16, 86.80±7.96, respectively) increased (P<0.05). However, no significant change was observed in the control group. Time significantly affects the mean changes in mental health (P=0.002) and marital satisfaction (P=0.001) in the samples. The time-group effect also shows a significant change for both variables (partial eta-squared for mental health=0.174 and marital satisfaction=0.165); the changes in the mean mental health and marital satisfaction of the research samples over time are different between the experimental and control groups; there are changes in the mean score of the two variables in three time points. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that Fordyce happiness training is effective in improving the level of marital satisfaction and mental health of women with premenstrual syndrome. Therefore, it is suggested that this training program is used to adapt women psychologically to the mood and physical changes of premenstrual syndrome.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47829820","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}

The self-treatment of genital infections is a common practice that results in infectious diseases, microbial resistance, and no patient recovery. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the self-treatment of genital infection and ectopic pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed on 373 women in 2018. Samples included 180 normal pregnant women (the control group) and 193 women with ectopic pregnancies with histories of genital infections (the case group). The samples were selected by a convenient sampling method. The study data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire containing demographic questions and 36 questions about self-treatment of genital infections, drug type, and reasons to use self-medication. Descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and the logistic regression model were used to analyze the obtained data. Results: In the present study, 373 eligible people were included. The mean ± SD age of women with ectopic pregnancies (the case group) was 33.37 ± 4 years and of women with normal pregnancy (the control group) was 33.21 ± 3.18 years. The frequency of ectopic pregnancy in women over 35 years was higher than that in women with normal pregnancies. The frequency of individuals who used self-medication to eliminate the vaginal infection in the control group and the case group were 76.7% and 48.9%, respectively. The frequency of individuals who used traditional methods (washing the vagina with ice or baking soda was 64.39% with the highest percentage), and 115 women (35.6%) used chemical methods (vaginal douching with the highest percentage). Self-medication was independently associated with higher odds of ectopic pregnancy (OR = 2.227, 95%CI; 1.316-3.769, p= 0.003). Conclusion: The results of this study show that self-medication for vaginal infections can be a risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.

Simultaneous use of MP and cardiac medications can cause drug interactions and serious complications. Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of MP use and its related factors among patients with CVD. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 patients with CVD in 2018. The patients were consecutively recruited from the cardiac care clinic in an Educational and Medical Center in Kashan City, Iran. The study data were collected using an MP use questionnaire, the related factors of the MP use questionnaire, and the belief and attitudes about herbal medicine inventory. For data analysis, the logistic regression analysis was performed. Results: The mean ± SD age of the participants was 56.91±10.64 years. Their mean ± SD time passed from CVD diagnosis was 8.30±9.07 years. The frequency of MP use over the past year was 90.5% (95% CI; 86.4%–94.6%). The significant related factors of MP use were female gender (OR = 4.80, 95% CI; 1.43–16.1, P = 0.011), positive family history of MP use (OR = 8.84, 95% CI; 2.62–29.86, P = 0.0001), and knowledge about herbal medicine (OR = 1.93, 95% CI; 1.13–3.30, P = 0.017). Conclusion: MP use is highly prevalent among patients with CVD. MP-related counseling services should be provided to patients with CVD.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48910779","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}
