failure to thrive (FTT) is one of the most common and important problems in the age of 6 to 12 months. Maternal behavioral factors are the most important cause of FTT in children. One of the most important theories to improve the nutritional behaviors is social cognitive theory. This study was conducted aiming to identify the determinants of maternal nutritional behavior for children 6 to 12 months with FTT based on social cognitive theory.

This quasi-experimental study was performed with the participation of 100 mothers with children aged 6 to 12 months with FTT referred to health service centers in Torbat-Heydariye. Mothers were selected by cluster sampling and were divided into two groups of experimental and control. The educational intervention was performed in 6 sessions of 60 minutes. Data were completed using researcher-made questionnaires by mothers in three stages and analyzed by using SPSS24 software.

Results showed that there was no significant difference between the two experimental and control groups before the educational intervention on score of the demographic variables. However, after educational intervention, there was a significant difference in maternal behavior and weight of child (P<0.05). There was a significant difference in the scores of social cognitive theory structures before and after the intervention (awareness, outcome expectation, outcome value, task self-efficacy, self-efficacy of overcoming obstacles, self-regulation, in case of situation, emotional adaptation, modeling) in the experimental group(P<0.05).

The results after the educational intervention showed the positive effect of education based on social cognitive theory on the behavior of mothers and the weight of children 6 to 12 months with Failure to thrive (FTT)

Failure to thrive (FTT) is one of the most common and important health problems in children aged 6 to 12 months. Maternal behavioral factors are amongst the most critical causes of FTT in children. One of the most important theories to improve the nutritional behaviors is social cognitive theory. This study was conducted aiming to identify the determinants of maternal nutritional behavior for children 6 to 12 months with FTT based on SCT.

This analytic study applied stratified sampling to select 475 mothers of children 6 to 12 months with FTT who referred to health service centers in Torbat Heydariyeh. Data were analyzed by SPSS-24.

The mean age of mothers was 29 years and children was 8 months. Average score of motherschr('39') behaviors of 6.6± 1.8. There was a significant positive correlation between motherchr('39')s education, family income, age and weight of child with mother’s behavior (P<0.05). Regression results showed that Barrier self-efficacy, Outcome expectations and knowledge constructs had the most predictive effect on motherschr('39') behaviors with 6 to 12-month-old children with FTT(P<0.05).

Based on our findings, barrier self-efficacy, outcome expectations and knowledge constructs, can be used to promote the maternal behavior for children 6 to 12 months with FTT.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) emerges in the new millennium as a major public health challenge. Currently, the HIV epidemic is spreading rapidly among young people. It is essential for students to provide the necessary information because they are valuable resources for the future of a country. This study was conducted to determine the impact of on applying HIV prevention behaviors in girl students in Torbat Heydariyeh.

It was a semi-experimental study that was conducted on 90 girl students. The instruments included questions related to demographic characteristics and the structures of theory of planned behavior in field of HIV. Educational intervention was conducted with emphasis on the above mentioned theory. Data were collected before, immediately and three months after training and was analyzed by chi-square, independent t-test and paired t-test, ANOVA and Repeated measures using SPSS-PC (v. 20.0).

The mean age of the students was 15/6 ± 0/46 years. There was also no difference between the groups regarding cognitive variables (attitude, intention, and subjective norm, perceived behavior control) before the intervention. The students in the experimental group reported higher scores for the cognitive variables compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

The findings revealed that training based on the new approach of HIV education based on TPB is an effective intervention in promoting HIV prevention behaviors in students.

The purpose of this article is to compare Packaging in online shopping vs offline shopping. It is considered that, the customer’s behavior in online shopping is completely different from buying patterns in person; nevertheless the packaging is still mostly designed according to buying in person. In this article, the process in which the package is designed, is challenged; so the differences which are necessary for design process are to be considered. Following these parameters, the effect of time and 4 Moments of Truth)MOT(, including ZMOT, FMOT, SMOT and TMOT )Z,F,S and T stand for Zero, First, Second and Third respectively(are also investigated. Furthermore, the influence of the opportunities and limitations of ecommerce on packaging is also considered. This article suggests that the context of redesigning e-commerce packaging should be made by focusing on the discussed parameters.
