A descriptive- analytical study was done among 200 antenatal mothers in antenatal clinic who were randomly selected and interviewed. Detailed questionnaires were used to obtain basic data. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, chi-square, Pearson and spearman correlation tests.

The results indicated that 67% of women had moderate knowledge with the mean score 5.5 ± 2.4 and 32% had positive attitude with the mean score 25.5 ± 9.6   regarding too gestational diabetes. The mean score of mother's self-care behaviors was 16.3 ± 7.6 and 62% had low self-care status. Age, education and occupation were found to be associated with knowledge and attitude with age which is statistically significant. Mothers who had higher age and higher level of education had higher knowledge and attitude towards others. Also, the self-care behavior score showed a significant statistical relationship with age and level of education. There was a positive correlation between knowledge and self-care practice and positive correlation between attitude and self-care practice (P=0.01).

due to the moderate level of knowledge, unfavorable attitudes and behaviors of self-care about gestational diabetes in order to increase women's knowledge, appropriate educational interventions are recommended and their attitudes should be evaluated. Inadequate knowledge and information about gestational diabetes in every aspect, which leads to limited knowledge and attitude and affecting their self-care behaviors.

Harmful and destructive effects of individual, social and cultural dependence and drug addiction have caused the medical staff of the community to take action to prevent, quit and prevent relapse of drug use. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on arousal and relapse in drug-dependent patients.

Data were analyzed by statistical methods of correlation and analysis of covariance.

The results showed that education based on cross-analysis approach and education based on choice theory significantly reduced mental impatience (f = 34.36 and P <0.001) and sexual function (36 = 36.106). f and P <0.001 were effective. Comparison of the means obtained indicates that education based on cross-analysis approach compared to education based on choice theory has a greater impact on changes in mental impatience and sexual function of infertile women.
