Mental health literacy training programs increase knowledge about mental health and mental illness among teenagers, which ultimately reduces the stigma associated with mental illness and increases help-seeking behavior. This study aims to investigate school-based mental health literacy programs in high school students.

This study is a scoping review aimed at examining school-based mental health literacy programs in high school students. Studies published from the first year of the article’s publication related to the topic until April 10, 2024, were reviewed. Databases including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ProQuest, as well as three Iranian scientific databases — Scientific Information Database (SID), Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC), and Magiran for Persian studies, were searched using keywords of school-based mental health literacy, school-based mental hygiene literacy, school-based mental health, school-based mental hygiene, intervention, program, and curriculum.

Considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the studies will be examined and analyzed, and the information pertaining to these studies will be reported in accordance with the type of school-based mental health literacy training program, the training framework of the program, the program's objectives, and the findings.

In student mental health literacy programs, if incorporating mental health education into school curricula is the ultimate goal, it makes sense for teachers to provide a classroom-based curriculum as they are likely to be the ones putting this into practice in the real world.

 Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery have moderate to poor treatment adherence. These patients should benefit from simple, feedback-centered educational methods that produce deep and sustainable learning to improve their treatment adherence.

 The present study was conducted to examine the effect of the G5 training program on treatment adherence in patients undergoing CABG.

 A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest study was conducted on patients undergoing CABG visiting Rouhani Hospital, cardiology clinics, and cardiology physicians' offices in Babol, Iran. The participants were selected by convenience sampling, and those who met the study inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 37) or a control group (n = 37). Patients in the intervention group received a G5 training program (i.e., bags containing flashcards with questions and answers on lifestyle after surgery) and a 30-minute face-to-face, daily training session. The control group received 30 minutes of daily self-care instruction from a cardiac surgery nurse. A demographic and clinical data checklist and Modanloo's Adherence to Treatment Questionnaire (MATQ) were used to collect data before, one month, and two months after the intervention.

 Most participants in the intervention and control groups were male (64.9% and 56.8%, respectively). The mean baseline treatment adherence score was 119.59 ± 7.82 in the intervention group, which changed to 152.62 ± 8.44 and 151.43 ± 8.65 one and two months after the intervention, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean baseline treatment adherence score was 120.35 ± 8.76 in the control group, which did not change significantly during the study (117.67 ± 6.28 and 116.97 ± 6.67 one and two months after the intervention, respectively). Repeated-measures analysis showed that the intervention significantly increased the mean treatment adherence score in the intervention group over time (P = 0.001). Female patients, patients with academic education, and urban patients scored higher on the query about the treatment, commitment to treatment, and sticking to treatment subscales, respectively.

 Education using the G5 method effectively improved treatment adherence of patients undergoing CABG. Nurses are suggested to follow up with patients, check their treatment adherence, and implement simple and low-cost educational methods, such as the G5 method, to improve patients' adherence to treatment.

The maternal sense of competence refers to the mother’s sense of ability to care for the baby. Maternal competence can affect the mother’s parenting capacities. Maternal preparation programs are aimed to increase mothers’ knowledge and improve their maternal competence. This systematic review and meta‑analysis investigated the effect of a maternal preparation program on maternal role competence.

A systematic search was conducted using the following MeSH terms: “education”, “program”, and “parenting sense of competence” in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and Scopus, from inception till July 2022. All Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published in any language were extracted. Articles were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the included articles was assessed by two qualified reviewers based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‑Analyses (PRISMA).

Of the 170 published works that were retrieved in the initial stage, five articles including 647 first‑time mothers were analyzed. A meta‑analysis showed that parenting preparation program interventions increased maternal role competence in first‑time mothers as opposed to those who received routine care Mean Difference (MD) = 3.31, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) [2.07, 4.55].

The results of this study encourage health policymakers to develop

Clinical failures are considered as a serious problem in the health system and a threat for patients’ safety. The nurses' performance was poor during the blood products transfusion for children. One of the main obstacles to implement a national blood policy in developing countries is the lack of trained staff.

To determine the effect of a designed training program based on the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) on nurses’ performance regarding  blood transfusion for children.

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) study was performed  in Bint Al-Huda teaching hospital at Al- Nasiriya City in Iraq. The study started from July 2021 to March 2021 and involved 60 nurses. Data was collected using a demographic data questionnaire and the observational checklist of  nurses’ performance regarding transfusion of blood and blood products. At first, nurses’ performance regarding transfusion of blood and blood products to a child was checked. Then, the intervention group received a designed training program based on the ADDIE model. Again, nurses’ performance was assessed. Finally, data were analyzed with SPSS 25 software. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.  

The scores of nurses’ performance in pretest stage in the intervention and control groups was relatively similar (M=10.23±1.07 versus M=10.83±4.49; P>0.05), but in post-test stage, the scores of the intervention group were higher (M=36.40±3.08 versus M=10.85±4.53; P<0.001).

Implications for Practice: 

According to the results, the designed training program based on ADDIE model can be used in pediatric setting to improve the nurses’ knowledge and practices about blood transfusion.

Program evaluation is an important part of any educational system and provides very useful information on how to design and implement educational programs  A comprehensive program evaluation can inform the policymakers about the effectiveness of the training and provides feedback that can be effective in achieving the desired goals.

This review aims to evaluate the COVID-19 vaccination program in Duhok, determine its negative and positive points, and subsequently improve it. In Duhok, across the 59 mass vaccination centers, vaccination coverage rates were investigated for all populations aged ≥18 years and populations aged ≥12 years receiving the three available vaccines, namely: Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, and Pfizer, by the end of the year 2021. By December 2021, the total number of vaccine doses provided was 621430, of whom 72.92% were Pfizer receivers. At the end of 2021, 35.92% of people aged ≥18 years were vaccinated with at least one dose, whereas the rate was reduced to 25.15% after including people aged ≥12 years. Notably, this rate is higher among health care workers (HCWs), showing that 9474 (60%) of 12000 HCWs were vaccinated with at least one dose. COVID-19 vaccination education highlights its importance in disease prevention and attenuation. Although the average vaccination coverage in Duhok is better than in other cities in Iraq, it remains below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard; hence, urgent action is indicated to increase the coverage rate and to expand the vaccines to include 5-11 years old children. The coverage rate among HCWs is fairly good in Duhok Province. Furthermore, it is important to strengthen the vaccination program in Duhok by improving staff experience, implementing infection preventive measures, and improving the registration system.

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease that is associated with negative physical and psychosocial consequences, so understanding the effective strategies that can be used in the prevention of osteoporosis is especially important. The aim of this study was to integrative review the published interventional of nonpharmacological studies regarding the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis among menopausal women. In this systematic review, databases such as PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science (ISI), Scopus, ScienceDirect, EmBase, Cochrane library, Google scholar, and Iranian databases, such as Scientific Information Database and Magiran, were searched. The latest search was performed between “November 2020 and December 2020” separately by two researchers and then double‑checked by them. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Jadad score calculation tool. Twenty eight randomized controlled trials and quasi‑experimental studies were included in this current study. The quality assessment indicated that 19 studies had acceptable (good) methodological quality and also 9 studies had weak methodological quality. The main results of this study were classified in three main categories such as exercise or physical activity training (n = 15), educational sessions (n = 11), and other interventions (n = 2). The results of most included studies showed that nonpharmacological strategies such as physical activity and educational interventions are considered as the appropriate actions to prevention of osteoporosis among menopausal women so implementing these strategies can be a good alternative for women with contraindication of hormone therapy or therapeutic treatment.

Osteoporosis, the fourth most common disease in the world, affects the elderly and postmenopausal women and imposes a great financial and social burden on individuals and society. Furthermore, it has a significant impact on the quality of patients’ life. This study tries to take an effective step toward improving the quality of patients’ life by developing and evaluating the self‑care program of women with osteoporosis.

In this research, a hybrid sequential design of quantitative and qualitative type consisting of three phases is used. This mixed‑method study aimed to develop and evaluate a self‑care program for women with osteoporosis.

Familiarity with the needs of these patients and the use of self‑care programs and considering social, cultural, and psychological factors could be effective steps to improve the health of women with osteoporosis. These steps can improve the quality of life and reduce the costs of treatment for this group of women.

Faculty development programs by improving clinical faculty members' educational skills affect society's health. Despite all the efforts for the educational development of clinical faculty, these programs do not always have adequate efficiency because of some challenges. This study aimed to design, implement and evaluate a long-term educational faculty development program for clinical faculty members.

This triangulation study was conducted from September 2021 to February 2022. The program designed by adopting Harden’s 10 Questions of educational program development framework approach. Based on Sociocultural theory, a longitudinal, informal program performed in a group setting for eighty clinical faculty members. For program evaluation, a questionnaire based on the CIPP evaluation model was developed and tested psychometrically.

The results indicated the overall satisfaction with faculty development program was high. Participants reported awareness of strengths and weaknesses in education, more self-confidence, higher motivation in teaching, acquiring teaching skills in clinical settings, and providing effective feedback as the program's achievements.

The combination of informal, longitudinal, and group-based approach increased the program's efficiency. This approach had short-term results such as enhancement of participants’ educational skills, improvement in the process of clinical education, and training clinical educators for future faculty development programs. hopefully, it will increase organizational capacities in the long time.

Complications experienced by women during menopause affect their self‑efficacy and can cause a negative attitude toward this period and lifestyle changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a life skills program on the perception of aging and self‑efficacy in postmenopausal women. 

This study was performed as a field trial on 70 postmenopausal women referring to Imam Ali and Navaab Safavi health centers in Isfahan, Iran, in 2018–19. The eligible subjects were randomly divided into experimental and control groups using a number table. The experimental group received the life skills program in five sessions and the control group shared their experiences in two sessions. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics form and the Ageing Perceptions Questionnaire (APQ) and General Self‑Efficacy Scale (GSE) and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS software. 

The results revealed that the mean score of aging perception immediately and 1 month after the intervention in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < </em>0.001). There was a significant increase in the self‑efficacy score in the experimental group immediately (F</em> 1,67 = 121.89, p < </em>0.001) and 1 month after the intervention (F</em>1,67 = 121.89, p < </em>0.001) compared to the control group.

This life skills program was able to reduce the perception of aging and physical complaints during menopause and improve self‑efficacy in women. Therefore, the implementation of this intervention is recommended in women.

Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a preventable cause of childhood blindness. India accounts for nearly 10% of the worldwide estimate of blindness and visual impairment due to ROP. Nurses are pillars of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and play a critical role in the prevention and management of ROP. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of developmentally supportive education program on knowledge regarding prevention and management of ROP among nurses working in NICU.

A hospital based pre‑experimental, one group pre‑test–post‑test study was carried out among 32 staff nurses working in the NICU of a tertiary care center during January to February 2019. Knowledge regarding the prevention and management of ROP was assessed before and after the implementation of developmentally supportive education program using a structured knowledge questionnaire.

Pre‑test knowledge score was mean (Standard Deviation [SD]) 9.00 (3.68) and after the educational program post‑test knowledge score was found to be mean (SD) 14.53 (2.39). Paired t</em>‑test was used to evaluate the effect of developmentally supportive education program and was found to be statistically significant (t32 = 10.09, p </em>< 0.001).

Developmentally supportive educational program can be used as an effective intervention for improving the knowledge regarding ROP among nurses in NICU.</em>

With the increase in the elderly population in the world and the consequent increase in diseases and their physical and mental problems, improving self‑care behaviors by increasing self‑efficacy in the elderly plays an important role in promoting their health and can increase their life satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of self‑care self‑efficacy program on life satisfaction of the elderly referred to selected health centers in Isfahan, Iran, in 2014.

This study was a quasi‑experimental study with two experimental and control groups and was performed on 64 elderly people referred to selected health centers in Isfahan. The samples were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, and a self‑care self‑efficacy program was performed on the experimental group. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaire and life satisfaction indexes A questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the statistical tests such as Chi‑square, independent t‑test, Mann–Whitney, repeated measures analysis of variance, and Least Significant Difference (LSD) post hoc test.

There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics. Before the intervention, the mean score of life satisfaction was not statistically significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.88). However, immediately and 1 month after the intervention, the mean score of life satisfaction in the experimental group increased, and this score was significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.001).

The results of this study showed that the self‑care self‑efficacy program has been effective in increasing the life satisfaction of the elderly. Therefore, using this self‑care self‑efficacy program is recommended to promote life satisfaction in the elderly
