Many of the problems in families and current societies stem from the maladjustments of adolescents. Understanding the factors affecting adaptability, especially during adolescence when behavioral deviations intensify, is of great importance. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of group counseling based on the healthy lifestyle in enhancing adaptability among the adolescent students who were studying at the NODET schools in Sanandaj city.

The present research was conducted using a semi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design along with a control group. The statistical population included all students of NODET (national organization for development of exceptional talents) schools in the secondary level in Sanandaj city during the academic year 2021-2022. The research sample consisted of 30 participants selected through convenience sampling and divided into two groups of 15 members each, experimental and control. The experimental group underwent 8 weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. The data collection tools included the Walker's Health Promoting Lifestyle Questionnaire and Sinha and Singh's Compromise Questionnaire. SPSS software version 22 was used for data analysis including descriptive statistics and covariance analysis.

There were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups in terms of gender, age, and education. Comparing adaptability scores in the experimental and control groups at the posttest stage showed an obtained F value of 44.5, which was significant at the 0.01 level (p< 0.01). The adjusted average for the experimental group was 44.28, while it was 30.32 for the control group. The higher average for the experimental group indicates the effectiveness of group counseling in increasing adaptability scores.

According to the results of this study, therapists and health professionals can utilize the group counseling program for the healthy lifestyle in improving health-related characteristics, particularly enhancing adaptability in adolescents studying at the NODET schools.

Numerous challenges within families and contemporary societies stem from adolescent maladjustment. Consequently, understanding the influential factors affecting adaptation holds significant importance, particularly during adolescence when behavioral deviations intensify.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group education based on a health-promoting lifestyle on the emotional, social, and academic adaptability of gifted adolescents.

This research was conducted employing a semi-experimental design with pretest and posttest measures alongside a control group. The statistical population included all high school students enrolled in the National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents schools in Sanandaj during the 2021-2022 academic year. The study sample comprised 30 gifted students exhibiting scores below 15 on the adaptation criteria, selected via convenience sampling. These students were subsequently divided into two groups of 15: an experimental and a control group. The intervention for the experimental group spanned eight weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. The data collection tools included the health-promoting Lifestyle questionnaire developed by Walker (1995) and the Sinha and Sing Adjustment questionnaire (1993).

The present study aims to investigate two established indicators addressing subjective aging (age stereotypes, representing general subjective aging indicator, and awareness of age-related changes, representing personal subjective aging indicator) and their relationship with a psychological well-being and a health-promoting lifestyle of the older adults. This is correlational study with a structural equation modeling (SEM). The analytical sample included older adults 60 years and older living in the Iranian province of Kermanshah in 2022; 360 people (175 men and 185 women) were selected by means of convenience sampling. Participants completed Kornadt and Rothermund age stereotypes questionnaires, kaspar et al.'s awareness of age-related changes, Ryff 's psychological well-being, and Walker et al.'s health-promoting lifestyle questionnaires. The collected data were statistically analyzed by SPSS_26 and Lisrel 8.8 software. The research results showed that the hypothesized model of this research has a good fit in the studied sample. Also, the results showed that age stereotypes are related to health-promoting lifestyle and psychological well-being only through AARC_losses. The findings emphasize the importance of the subjective aging and its relationship with physical and psychological health. Promoting successful aging in aging societies has become increasingly important. Positive subjective aging may contribute to physical and mental health in older adults, and overcoming negative subjective aging through change at the social and individual level may help promote successful aging. Age stereotypes are defined as socially shared beliefs about the aging process and about older people as a group (Worm et al., 2017). Hence, age stereotypes are individual cognitive representations of the aging process and older people in general. which are widely established in a given culture. Research shows that age stereotypes are context-specific, and therefore should be conceptualized using a domain-specific approach (Kornadt & Rothermund, 2011). Unlike age stereotypes, which are general and strongly influenced by societal perspectives. It is about aging and targets older people as a group, people also have their own personal experiences of ageing, for example awareness of age-related changes.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common progressive neurological disease in young people and affects women several times more than men. Sexual problems are one of the most common symptoms in affected women, which have a great impact on the couple’s relationship and are often ignored. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the effect of health-promoting multimedia education on sexual function in women with multiple sclerosis.

The present study is a randomized controlled trial of before and after with the control group. 116 women with multiple sclerosis, referredto Hazrat Rasool Akram Hospital and a private referral center for multiple sclerosis patients (from 21 September 2020 to 19 January 2021) were selected by continues sampling method to participate in the study. They were assigned as two groups, intervention and control ones, using the Sealed envelope randomized online site which randomly divided to single up to quintuple blocks, which allocated equally in intervention and control groups. Data collection tools were demographic profile form and intimacy and sexual activity questionnaire for multiple sclerosis patients (MSISQ-19). Data analysis is done by using descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, frequency and percentage) and with independent t-test, chi-square, analysis of covariance and analysis of variance with repeated measures RM using SPSS software v. 16.

Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of sexual function scores and all its dimensions (P=0.690). Mean sexual function in the intervention group at 4 weeks (P=0.014) and 12 weeks after the intervention (P=0.021) was significantly lower than before, but there was no statistically significant difference between the scores at 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the intervention (P<0.050).

Health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) training has an effect on sexual performance of women with multiple sclerosis and this training can be a good way to improve their sexual problems.

Pregnant women are vulnerable to various types of stress, thus being more exposed to psychological and physical problems than others. Accordingly, educational and psychological interventions for this period are essential for this group of people in society. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness training on a lifestyle that promotes health and ego strength in pregnant women.

The present research is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. Its statistical population includes all pregnant women, from 25 to 35 years old, in Tehran from the fall of 2019 to the spring of 2020. The sample size in the experimental methods is equal to 15 people for each group. Therefore, 15 people in the experimental group and 15 in the control group are considered. The sampling method is available due to the nature of the research samples. The data collection tools are as follows: a) Walker Health Lifestyle Questionnaire (2003) and b) Igo Power Psychological Questionnaire (PIES). The data of this study are analyzed using an analysis of covariance.

Mindfulness training is effective in health-promoting lifestyle in the component of nutrition (F: 11.812), exercise (F: 8.961), health responsibility (F: 9.187), stress management (F: 9.187), interpersonal support (F: 10.976), and self-fulfillment (F: 11.707), ego power in the component of hope (F: 12.218), love (F: 11.98), loyalty (F: 9.219), care ( F: 9.202), and micro (F: 12.875).

Based on the findings, mindfulness training enhances the health and ego strength of pregnant women.

To reduce urolithiasis and its socioeconomic burden for people at risk, adopting preventive strategies aimed at modifying lifestyle factors may be effective. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the status of health-promoting lifestyle in patients with urolithiasis and its relationship with some socio-demographic factors.

This cross-sectional study is descriptive-analytical in which 300 patients with urolithiasis referred to Rasht medical centers were studied as sample. Data were collected using a socio-demographic and health-promoting lifestyle questionnaire. To interpret the data, SPSS software and descriptive statistical methods, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Spearman, and multiple linear regressions were used.

Mean and standard deviation of overall health-promoting lifestyle score was 2.57±0.47, which indicates a downward average lifestyle status. The highest score was related to the dimension of responsibility towards health (2.92±0.47) and the lowest score was related to interpersonal relationships (2.03±0.64). Multiple linear regression model showed that the variables of family history of kidney stones (p=0.019, β=-1.38) and income (p=0.019, β=0.176) are predictors of health promoting lifestyle (R2=0.21).

Considering that the health-promoting lifestyle score and its dimensions were close to the average score and low in the patients participating in the study, it is better to consider the health-promoting lifestyle as a factor in educating patients with urolithiasis. Also, since the family history of the disease and the amount of income were predictive factors in the lifestyle of these patients, it seems that by increasing awareness about kidney stones and its causative factors and financial support of these patients, their lifestyle can be improved.

The main objective of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) and quality of life (QoL) of HIV/AIDS patients. 

The current study was an experimental study based on a pre-test-post-test design with a control group, and based on the objectives, it can be considered an applied study. The statistical population of the study included all HIV patients monitored by behavioral disorders clinics of the Healthcare Organization Centers in Hamedan County in Iran in 2019-2020. Using simple random sampling method, 45 patients were randomly selected from Shohada Clinic in Hamedan as the sample of the study, followed by randomly assigning them to three 15-member groups, i.e., two intervention groups and a control group. In order to measure the research variables, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) (1987) and the Short Form (36) Health Survey (SF-36, 2001) were utilized. The obtained data were analyzed using ANCOVA in SPSS v. 12.

The Ethics Committee of Hamedan University of Medical Sciences approved the study (Code: IR.UMSHA.REC.1398.1063). This study has been registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (Code: IRCT20120215009014N348).

The results of ANCOVA indicate that schema therapy and DBT affect HPL and quality of life, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P<‌0.001). 

The results show that while both therapy methods affect the selected variables, schema therapy is more effective than DBT on HPL and Quality of Life (QoL).

 Healthy lifestyle along with spirituality affect the physical and mental health of older adults. Regarding the older clergymen’s experience of spiritual life, this study aims to evaluate the role of health-promoting lifestyle in predicting cognitive status of older clergymen. 

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 190 older clergymen living in Qom, Iran who were selected using a convenience sampling method and based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II and Mini-Mental State Exam were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS V. 22 software using descriptive and inferential statistics (Correlation test, linear regression analysis, independent t-test, and ANOVA). The significance level was set at 0.05.

 The mean age of participants was 70.55±6.86. There was a significant positive relationship between health-promoting lifestyle and cognitive status (r= 0.295, P= 0.001). The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the dimensions of health responsibility and nutrition along with employment status explained almost 14% of the variance in cognitive status.

 it is necessary to pay more attention to nutrition and health responsibility in health-promoting interventions of older clergymen. Further studies with a qualitative approach are recommended to understand the mechanism of the effect of spirituality on health of older clergymen.

Elderly, which refers to the age group above 65 years, appears to be a substantial period of life.
