This study aimed to Evaluation of physical activity before and during the period of global health crisis and its effect on mental health and social participation (Case study of the Covid-19 crisis).

It was a descriptive-analytical study which was conducted through both field and library research.The research population included all citizens of the country. Given the special conditions of the community and the limitations in the traffic and social communication, the method of cluster sampling from different parts of the country (volunteers in answering the questionnaire) was used.Three international questionnaires of physical activity, mental health assessment of the University of Palermo, and social participation assessment were used to collect data. Cronbach’s alpha was used to examine the reliability of the questionnaires.

Data analysis showed that the amount of physical activity (light, moderate and intense) during the Corona epidemic decreased compared to the previous period. Also, in terms of the mental health, the results showed that the physical activity had a positive and significant effect on the general health and vitality; and it had a negative and significant effect on depression and anxiety. Finally, the effect of physical activity on the social participation was positive and significant.

Thus, despite the reduction in physical activity during the corona epidemic, reduced physical activity can be stated that the same amount of physical activity can reveal its psychological and social benefits and, while reducing the negative effects of quarantine and adhering to protocols, it could prevent the psychosocial vulnerability and it could lead to individual and social well-being.

many countries have currently put waste management as a priority on the agenda and are seeking to enhance its effectiveness by encouraging public participation. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the willingness of rural residents to participate in waste management processes in Jajarm County, North Khorasan Province.

The survey research method was used. The target population consisted of 4031 households from 37 villages in Jajarm County. The dependent variable of willingness to participate in waste management was measured with 5 variables, including willingness to pay for waste disposal, willingness to use special containers, eagerness to separate waste at source, eagerness to deliver separated waste, and tendency to cooperate with rural development. The impact of independent variables on the five dependent variables was evaluated by running five logit functions.

The results of the models showed that age, education, regular waste collection by village councils, cooperation with rural cooperatives and organizations, payment for waste collection, familiarity with waste management methods, health effects of waste, familiarity with the harmful effects of waste, communication with extension agents and rural health liaisons, participation in waste management training classes, and satisfaction with the village council have a positive and significant (p≤0.05) impact on the willingness to participate in waste management.

Providing educational programs and introducing the consequences of non-separation of waste on human health and the environment is effective in attracting the participation of people in waste management plans and should be prioritized in waste management programs.

Successful aging is one of the most important concepts in gerontology and is a process in which a person adjusts him/herself to adapt to the changes caused by aging and be independent. Based on a review of related literature, it seems that spiritual health and social participation can be considered as important predictors of successful aging. The present study aimed to determine the power of spiritual health and social participation in predicting successful aging among the elderly living in nursing homes.

This is a analytical cross-sectional study, in which a total of 181 elderly people living in nursing homes were recruited using stratified sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, multidimensional questionnaire of successful aging, JAREL Spiritual Well-Being Scale (JSWBS), and Social Participation Questionnaire (SPQ).

The overall mean scores of successful aging, spiritual well-being, and social participation were shown to be 139.38 ± 34.14, 78.63 ± 19.21, and 42.09 ± 13.57, respectively. Based on the results of multivariate regression analysis, spiritual well-being and social participation predicted 62.5% of the variance of the overall successful aging score (ADJ.R2 = 0.625, R2 = 0.63, R = 0.793).

The results showed that the mean score of successful aging increases as the mean scores of spiritual well-being and social participation increase.

 Social isolation of older adults is one of the major global concerns associated with widespread negative outcomes. The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the social disconnectedness and perceived isolation scales in Iranian older adults.

 The translation/back-translation process was performed based on the standard protocol of world health organization. Face and content validities were assessed based on the opinions of a panel of experts. The content validity of the scales was evaluated by calculating the content validity ratio (CVR) and content validity index (CVI). Internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity were evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha, test-retest method, and factor analyses, respectively. Factorial structure of the scales was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling in a sample of 390 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 60 years residing in Tabriz, Iran. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software, version 26 and AMOS version 24.

For the social disconnectedness scale, CVR=‌0.98 and CVI=‌0.91; for the perceived isolation scale, CVR=‌0.91 and CVI=‌0.96. The EFA with the varimax rotation identified new factors in both scales. Cronbach’s alpha of 0.64 for the social disconnectedness scale and 0.76 for the perceived isolation scale showed that their internal consistency was acceptable. The number of factors in the social disconnectedness scale changed from two to three factors, and the number of factors in the perceived isolation scale changed from two to four factors in the Persian versions. The CFA and SEM confirmed the three-factor solution of the Persian version of the social disconnectedness scale (RMSEA=0.050, GFI=0.951, CFI=0.950, and TLI=0.955) and the four-factor solution of the Persian version of perceived isolation scale (RMSEA=0.045, GFI=0.955, CFI=0.955, and TLI=0.950).

Although the structures are different from those of the main versions, the Persian versions of the social disconnectedness and perceived isolation scales have acceptable reliability and validity to be used in Iranian older adults.

One of the most important issues to be considered is the role of endowments and charity affairs in meeting the cultural, sports, social and economic needs of the society. To what extent that endowment can be useful in solving the problems and flourishing of the country's sports, requires deeper examination of issues by experts particularly the experts in the field of sports.The purpose of this study was to present a model of the factors affecting the expansion of endowment in the field of sports.

The research is applied in terms of purpose and quantitative in terms of method. The statistical population included experts in this field and the Health Donors Association and the School-Building Donors Association, who were directly familiar with the challenges and ways of introducing donors into sports. The sampling method included non-probability sampling, with purposeful selection and with maximum 20 varieties or incongruity. Based on this, 360 participants were selected as the sample population. The research instrument included a questionnaire extracted from the previous studies and review of theoretical foundations, the validity of which was proved by 7 experts and its reliability was found based on Cronbach's alpha test to be at the desired level. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

Based on the results of confirmatory factor analysis, the factor loads of the constituent factors were higher than 0.4 and were approved. Also, the evaluation indicators of the totality of the structural equation model according to the desired range of these indicators, in general, indicate that the hypothetical model developed by the research data is supported. In other words, the fit of the data to the model is established and all indicators except for the Chi-square ratio to the degree of freedom, are indicative of the desirability of the measurement model of the donor entry model in sports.

The arrival of donors can be a good investment to build provincial sports facilities in all parts of the country so that all members of the society can use these places equally. With the aim of developing its various dimensions, this requires links with other institutions such as those in economy, health, education system at the level of governance and policy-making, to apply practical and appropriate models by learning about the sports policies.

citizenship behaviors not only prevent some anomalies such as dishonesty but also improve students' academic performance. Considering that the learning environment, in addition to paying attention to scientific activities, encourages friendly interaction and participation between students and other members,  so ,this study aims to investigate the relationship between the learning environment with civic- educational behaviors from the viewpoint of Ferdows Paramedical and Health University students was done.

The mean score of students' learning environment had a mean and standard deviation of 122.44+24.95 and at the desired level and educational citizenship behaviors had a mean and standard deviation of 68.33+7.37 and at an average level. There is a positive and significant relationship between learning environment and students' educational citizenship behaviors (P<0.001,r= 0.674). There was a significant difference between the mean scores of the learning environment in different disciplines and semesters (P<0.001). Also, a significant difference was observed between the score of civic- educational behaviors with the semester and the age of students (P<0.001).

According to the results of the study there was a positive and significant relationship between learning environment and academic civic behaviors, therefore, it seems that recognition of effective factors on the learning environment of students by teachers play a valuable role in the process and strateg ic change  in education, also, this process  strengthen educational citizenship behaviors.

Some social factors can act as a protective shield against mental health problems. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between social health and mental health problems in students.

This study is a descriptive-correlation method and a fundamental goal. The statistical population of this study consisted of students-teachers of Farhangian University of Khorasan Razavi Province (Iran) from which 747 people were selected by available method and then, responded to two tests of General Health (GHQ-28) and Keys Social Health Scale (1998).

The results of multiple regression analysis in a simultaneous manner showed that the variables of social integration (T = -71.31, β = -0.271), social acceptance (T = 5.428, β = -0.190) and social participation (T = -5.831, β = -0.206) significantly predict mental health problems and these variables together explain 26% of the variance of mental health problems.

Social health can be considered as an intervention in the treatment of mental health problems in addition to focusing on interpersonal factors and thus promote mental health.

Objective (s):

Due to the rapid growth of the country's elderly population, the need to pay attention to social participation as one of the determinants of health and modifiable in the process of active aging is very important. Thus, the aim of study was to determine the level of social participation, barriers, and related factors in the elderly people of Mazandaran province, Iran.

In this descriptive-study, 421 elderly people over 60 years old in Mazandaran province were selected by stratified and cluster random sampling. The data collection tools were a demographic characteristics questionnaire, a researcher-made questionnaire of social participation, and the Social Participation Barriers. Data were analyzed by SPSS v24 using independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression at a significant level of P<0.05.

The mean age of the samples was 72.55 (8.81) years, and the mean score of social participation was 22.87)11.81(. The highest level of participation was related to the cultural-religious dimension 8.43)4.46) and the lowest level was related to the political activity dimension 3.76(2.44).  Being out of reach (86.7%), lack of physical accessibility of activity and facilities (83.6%), impatience (83.1%), costs and financial problems (82.7%), and diseases and health problems (80%) were respectively the most important barriers to social participation. The male elderly with low age, employed, and college-educated had significantly better scores of social participation (P<0.05). According to the regression analysis, 59% of the variance of social participation was explained by age, education, and gender.

The social participation level of the elderly in Mazandaran was low. Therefore, the need for policy-making and the design of comprehensive programs, and developing a proper environment to reduce barriers, seems important to improve social participation in elderly.

The main purpose of this study was to identify the "relationship between social capital and resilience among medical staff (physicians, nurses and social workers)."

The research method was descriptive and explanatory. The statistical population of the present study included all physicians, nurses and social workers in hospitals of Ahvaz, Mazandaran, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Tehran, Kerman and Tabriz. The sampling method is simple stratified and random. A total of 413 public and private hospitals in the cities of Ahvaz, Mazandaran, Kermanshah, Lorestan, Tehran, Kerman and Tabriz, two (2) hospitals in each city were selected and selected hospitals in these cities were surveyed. In 14 selected hospitals of the mentioned cities, 384 physicians, nurses and social workers were studied by simple random sampling.

The findings showed that the correlation coefficient of social support was 0.367 and the level of significance was 0.000, the correlation coefficient of social trust was 0.306 and the level of significance was 0.000, the correlation coefficient of participation was 0.000. Social and significance level of the test in the whole sample is equal to 0.401 and 0.000, the value of social cohesion correlation coefficient and the significant level of the test in the whole sample is equal to 0.305 and 0.000. Considering the positive value of the correlation coefficient, it can be said that there is a positive correlation between the variables of social capital and resilience and the relationship between the variables is direct.

Among other research results, the mean of social capital variable was the highest level of social capital in Tehran and the lowest level of social capital in Tabriz. The mean of resilience variable was the highest level of resilience in Kerman and the lowest level of resilience in Ahvaz.

Due to the nature of their profession, the medical and nursing profession is exhausting and has many stresses and challenges, so that it affects the quality of life of physicians and nurses. so; It is important for community leaders to maintain and promote their resilience.

Braces are common non-surgical treatments for the management of spinal deformities in adolescents. There are factors that may determine the success of non-surgical treatments of spinal deformities. Hence the aim of current study was to investigate the relationship between the amount of time for brace wear and its psychological effects and the level of social participation of adolescents with spinal deformity.

we examined adolescents undergoing brace treatment for spinal deformity attending to Ahvaz Technical Orthopedic Centers. Among them, 30 adolescents including 3 males and 27 females (mean age: 14.7 (1.92) years) were included in the study. Sampling method was simple non-probability sampling. Data were collected using Fear of Negative Evaluation questionnaire, Participation Scale questionnaire, Bad Sobernheimer stress (Deformity) and Bad Sobernheimer (brace) questionnaire. The duration (hours and months) of brace treatment was also recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman correlation coefficient calculation and correlational analysis.

The results demonstrated that the participation scale had a negative correlation with Bad Sobernheimer (brace) score (r= 0.49, p = 0.006). Participation scale also had a positive correlation with fear of negative evaluation score (r= 0.42, p = 0.019). There were no significant correlation between other variables.

Psycho-social factors can affect adolescents' participation score undergoing brace treatment. People with scoliosis and hyper kyphosis undergoing brace treatment are young, so, it is important to consider psychological and social factors during brace treatment, to minimize negative consequences of brace treatment.

 Social participation among older adult is one of the key factors in active aging. Social participation is influenced by multiple contextual factors. The present study was conducted to explore the facilitators and barriers of social participation in community dwelling older adult.

 This is a qualitative study with a grounded theory approach. The study population consisted of community dwelling older adult that accepted participant in this study and able to communicate effetely.
