Brucellosis is a common disease worldwide. Family-centered empowerment model is a model for empowering patients to modify high-risk behaviors. Given the wide range of health and economic complications caused by the prevalence of brucellosis in society, we sought to evaluate the effect of this model in modifying the high-risk behaviors of patients with brucellosis.

The present study was a quasi-experimental interventional study that examined 88 patients with Brucellosis in Arak County in 2021. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire based on the family-centered empowerment model in six constructs, namely knowledge, attitude, perceived severity, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and behavior at two stages before and two months after the educational intervention. Independent t-test, paired t-test, and chi-square test at a significance level of 0.05 were used to analyze the data.

The mean of patients' age was 42.19±19.79. The results of the paired t-test indicated that the mean scores of knowledge (P<0.001), attitude (P<0.001), perceived severity (P<0.001), self-esteem (P<0.001), self-efficacy (P<0.001), and behavior (P<0.001) significantly increased in the intervention group after education. but changes in mean scores of knowledge (P=0.71), attitude (P= 0.53), perceived severity (P=0.26), self-esteem (P=0.18), self-efficacy (P=0.21), and behavior (P=0.41) were not significant in the control group.

The results indicated that educational intervention based on the family-centered empowerment model could be effective in increasing knowledge, thereby improving Brucellosis prevention behaviors.

Recently, smoking, as a critical risk factor, increased the diseases burden, especially chronic and non-communicable conditions, such as cardiovascular, respiratory, cancer, and stroke. Smoking is highly prevalent for various reasons. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the views and causes of smoking tendency in the youth of Qom City, Iran.

This qualitative research employed the content analysis method. The research environment consisted of all public places and the research population consisted of the youth of Qom City, Iran. In total, 19 participants were selected by the purposive sampling method. The required data were collected by semi-structured interviews, i.e., recorded, transcribed, and analyzed with the consent of the study participants. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze the achieved data.

Data analysis provided 3 main categories of environmental factors, individual, family, and 8 subcategories that included cultural acceptability, stimulants, economic and social issues, attitude toward smoking, curiosity and excitement, family supervision and control, relationships within the family, and substance dependence in family members.

Smoking and hookah use in youth is a multi-factor and multi-level phenomenon. Besides, the factors determining the tendency to them are at various environmental, individual, family levels; thus, they should be considered in the prevention, control, and smoking cessation of hookah.

Oral problems, particularly dental caries, are among prevalent health problems across the world that normally initiate in adolescence. This study aimed to determine oral health-related factors based on the health belief model among 10th to 12th-grade students in Kashan.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 180 10th to 12th-grade students living in Kashan City, Iran, in 2017-18. Using multistage sampling, students were randomly selected from schools. Then, students completed a valid and reliable researcher-made questionnaire. Utilizing independent t-test, logistic regression, ANOVA, and Pearsonchr('39')s correlation coefficient, the collected data were analyzed by SPSS 20.

50.6% of the participants brushed teeth at least once a day, 20% used dental floss once a day, and 8.3% referred to the dentist once every six months. There was a significant positive correlation between perceived self-efficacy and oral health behaviors (r=0.35; p<0.001). In addition, perceived barriers had a significant negative relationship with oral health behaviors (r=-0.30; p<0.001). However, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and perceived benefits had no significant correlation with oral health behaviors (p>0.05).

The health belief model has the necessary effectiveness in promoting oral health behaviors. It is suggested to utilize appropriate plans and educational interventions based on behavioral models and theories to increase self-efficacy and remove barriers to toothbrushing behavior, utilization of dental floss, and improvement of oral health in students.

Health plays a key role in today's society and is considered the core of human development. It goes without saying that health is a matter of concern to all of us, and achieving and maintaining health requires the cooperation of all organs, including the mass media.

Data collection tools included a researcher-made questionnaire on the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs, attitudes towards health-oriented TV/radio programs, and health practice. Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 20) using independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Chi-square, ANOVA, as well as Tukey and Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc tests.

Based on the results of the present study, 134 (43.2%) cases never used health-oriented TV/radio programs, and 90 (29%) subjects used them for less than one hour throughout the day and night. Furthermore, a significant relationship was observed between the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs with attitudes (P=0.023) and health practice (P<0.001). The study findings also pointed to a positive and significant correlation between attitudes toward the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs and their health practice (P <0.001, r=0.298).

As evidenced by the obtained results, there is a significant relationship between the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs with attitudes and health practice. It is recommended that national media officials and television programmers, based on needs analysis, produce programs with up-to-date methods in an effort to promote the use of health-oriented TV/radio programs.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system, which aggravates the loss of self-esteem in patients and impairs their ability to cope with the disabilities. The present study investigated the relationship between self-esteem and anxiety among MS patients in Shiraz.

A descriptive-analytical study was carried out on all young MS patients when the disease was not in an acute stage, aged 20-40 years old in Fars Province in 2009-10. 150 MS patients (90 males and 60 females) were selected through in-access sampling method from a pool of patients who received services from Charity Foundation for Special Diseases (CFSD). The data were collected using self-esteem questionnaire and researcher-made questionnaire of anxiety. Data were analyzed with SPSS V.16 using Regression and Correlation with α=0.05.

Our findings indicated that there was an inverse and significant relationship between self-esteem and anxiety in MS patients of both sexes, with self-esteem predicting 0.66 anxiety of the participants.

According to our findings, holding sessions to provide insights into the importance of self-esteem would help MS patients and their families to deal with the disease problems more rationally, thus decreasing major part of their concerns.
