Introduction: Adherence to treatment is essential in heart disease. This study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional awareness of hypertensive patients and their dietary intake in heart disease. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that was performed on hypertensive patients referred to Farshchian Cardiovascular Clinic in Iran, using the available random sampling method. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaire and three questionnaires of nutritional awareness, illness perception, and dietary follow-up of patients with hypertension. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 and descriptive statistics. Results: The mean score of knowledge was 4.73 1.5 1.55. Fifty-eight percent of patients were unaware of high-fat diet, 56% of them did not eat red meat and 63% of them did not. The mean score of perception was 29.58 ± 3.94% of which 38% of the patients were uncontrollable and 43% strongly opposed their illnesses which could lead to premature death and 56% were against dietary restriction. Conclusion: There is a need for interventions to improve the knowledge and attitude of patients with heart disease.
Background: Sleep quality is one of the important variables that effectson the individual health status. For this reason, the present study aims to investigate the effect of CCM and PCM on the patients’sleepquality. Methods: All interventional articles about the effect of CCM and PCM on sleep quality status were searched with the keywords of CCM, PCM, partnership care model, continuous care model and sleep quality at the Iranian scientific databases such as SID, Magiran, IranMedex and ISC, and the international databases such as Pubmed, Science Direct, Cochrane, Scopus and Web of Science. Then, after reviewing the entry and exit criteria and qualitative evaluation of the articles, Excel software was used to analyze the data. Results: In this study, all published article about CCM, PCM and Sleep quality were reviewed. All of the articles were conducted as clinical trial and the diagnostic tool of them were Pittsburg, in this instrument lower rate indicate less sleep disorder. The sample size of the study was 540 patients. According to the findings, the implementation of both models of CCM and PCM improved the sleep quality of patients. Conclusion: Considering the more positive effect of CCM and PCM in improving the status of sleep quality in patients, so the implementation of this model is recommended to improve the patients’ sleep quality.
Introduction: This study we aimed to examine the effect ofExtended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) on thesexual self-control of female adolescents in Aliabad Kotoul in 2020.Methods: This experimental study with two intervention and control groups was conducted on 50 secondyearhigh school female students in Aliabad Katoul, who had been selected by simple random samplingmethod. In the intervention group, 8 training sessions (45-60 minutes each) were carried out in groups of 6-7people, based on the EPPM for 2 months. Data were collected in both groups before and after the intervention,and then were analyzed by SPSS-16 statistical software using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: Independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the intervention and control groupsbefore the intervention (P = 14.14) in terms of the score of sexual self-control, but after the intervention, itshowed a significant difference (P <0.01) between the two groups. Also, ANCOVA test showed a significantdifference between the two groups by removing the pre-test effect (p <0.01, Eta = 0.64), so that the EPPMwasable to increase the sexual self-control of samples in the intervention group.Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of EPPM, the results showed that if people understand thatthey are at high risk of disease or health problem, they will be more sensitive towards performing high-riskbehaviors. Therefore, increasing awareness and creating sensitivity can play an important role in controllingbehaviors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
