Early diagnosis of these disorders is important so there can be intervention and treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of education based on the theory of planned behavior on promoting preventive behaviors of child’s development disorder on mothers in Qom in 2018. Methods: In this study which was conducted as a quasi-experimental intervention in 2018, a sample of 106 mothers with children aged one year  were randomly assigned to two groups of control and test in 2018. The data collecting tool was the questionnaires based on theory of planned behavior that was completed twice: before and 1 month after the education. Educational intervention was performed in 4 sessions for the test group. Finally, the data were collected and analyzed using paired t–test, independent t-test, and Chi square in the context of the SPSS 22.  Results: Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant difference in terms of demographic variables and mean scores of different structures of theory of planned behavior. However, after the intervention, there were significant differences between test and control group in terms of mean score and standard deviation, the educational effect,  knowledge score (2/85±2/37), attitude (7/13±3/28), subjective norm (6/64±3/66), perceived behavioral control (11/05±4/33), behavioral intention (9/8±3/92), and behavior (16/94±8/10) (P<0.001).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of playing-based exercises on weight, body mass index, and fat percentage of overweight children with developmental coordination disorder. Methods: The research method is semi experimental, with pre-test and post-test design. After checking health records, height and weight, and completing the questionnaire, from among the primary schools in district 15 of Tehran, 50 children, aged 8 to 10, were selected through targeted sampling method and based on entry criteria in 2015. After pre-test, they were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n=30) and control group (n=20). The experimental group participated in the protocol and received 3 sessions per week for 3 months. MABC-2 motor development test was used to measure the coordination of subjects and calipers and scales were used to combine the body. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21 and one-way covariance analysis at a significant level of 0.05. Results: Analysis of variables after 12 weeks of intervention indicated weight loss, fat percentage and body mass index in the experimental group and the intervention group received better scores compared to the control group and this difference was significant. Conclusion: Performing physical activity in the form of a game is one of the effective ways of intervening in children. Therefore, with early intervention, we can have a positive effect on the growth process and overweight.   body mass Index developmental Coordination Disorder Fat Percentage Child. 2019 9 01 274 284 http://journal.ihepsa.ir/article-1-1124-en.pdf 10.29252/ijhehp.7.3.274

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of 6 months low-load very high-repetition resistance training (body pump) on BMD­ and balance in postmenopausal women. Methodology: 22 postmenopausal women volunteer were randomly divided into resistance training (n=12) and control (n=10). The resistance training group performed 3 weekly sessions for 6 months. No regular training program was assigned for control group during the research period. Bone scans (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) were performed at baseline and after 6 month of training. Also, the balance index was assessed using the Stork Balance Stand Test. Findings: After 6 months, BMD in the lumbar spine (p=0.001) and balance (p=0.001) significantly increased in the resistance training group. In addition, there was significant differences in BMD of lumbar spine between the resistance training group and control group (the lumbar spine: (p=0.04), balance (p=0.001)). But after 6 months, there weren't any significant changes in femoral neck (p=0.1 and forearm (p=0.2). Conclusion: Six months, low-load very high-repetition resistance training lead to increase the bone density of the lumbar spine while these changes do not occur at the femoral neck and forearm. It seems to be the highest impact on BMD of lumbar spine.   Osteoporosis Balance Strength training Postmenopausal 2019 9 01 316 327 http://journal.ihepsa.ir/article-1-1160-en.pdf 10.29252/ijhehp.7.3.316

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to determine the knowledge and performance of pistachio farmer in terms of Aflatoxin contamination and the methods to prevent its production in pistachio product. Methods: In this research, initial items of instrument were designed based on literature review and interview with experts and farmers. The face validity, Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content validity Index (CVI) of instrument were determined by interview with farmers and through opinions of experts’ panel respectively. Test-retest analysis was conducted to test the stability of the instrument. Also, according to the data of 380 farmers, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed. Results: The results showed that CVI and CVR of items of instrument were ≤0.79 and ≤0.62 respectively. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the data. EFA Analysis showed that KMO is suitable for 3 groups of Knowledge and also for practice. Bartlett’s test was significant and zero hypothesis of data was rejected. According to factor load higher than 0.3 for every question, neither of them was removed. Finally, questionnaire of Knowledge was confirmed with 18 and Practice questionnaire was confirmed with 10 questions. Conclusion: The developed instrument can be used to measure the knowledge and practice of pistachio farmers about Aflatoxin contamination, as a research tool, to be used to develop appropriate educational interventions.   Aflatoxin pistachio knowledge practice farmer psychometric 2019 9 01 328 338 http://journal.ihepsa.ir/article-1-1038-en.pdf 10.29252/ijhehp.7.3.328

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of cognitive behavioral group therapy and hope-based group therapy on perception of pain in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design and control group. 45 patients were randomly selected from MS patients with pain who referred to neurological and neurology specialists in Karaj, Iran , in the first six months of 2017. The participants were assigned to three groups with 15 subjects (two intervention groups and one control group). Each intervention group was treated for 8 sessions and the control group did not receive cognitive behavioral interventions and hope-based therapy. Pain perception was measured in pretest and posttest with Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Results: Independent results showed that both cognitive-behavioral therapy and hope-based therapy had a significant effect on pain relief in MS patients (P=0.05). Also, the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on emotional pain was significantly different from that of hope-based therapy (P<0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated the importance of both methods, especially cognitive behavioral therapy, in reducing pain perception in patients with MS.
