BACKGROUND፡ Young is one of the most sensitive stages of human life. Social phobia and high-risk behaviors are factors that enhance young crises. This study aimed to determine the relationship between gender role, social phobia and high-risk behaviors among young medical students.METHODS: In this descriptive correlational study, 400 students were selected by quota sampling method from a medical university in Southeastern Iran. For data collection, the demographic information questionnaire, Gender Trait Index (GTI), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), and Iranian Adolescent and Young Risk-Taking Scale (IAYRS) were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including mean and SD and analytic statistics such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal- Wallis tests using SPSS 25 and p ≤ .05.RESULTS: The mean scores of masculinity and femininity gender roles were 38.98 ± 7.92 and 44.12 ± 7.76, respectively. Also, 70.5% of the students had dominant feminine traits, and the gender identity was high in 58.8% of the students and moderate in 40.2% of them. Social phobia (37.12 ± 12.61) and high-risk behaviors (81.77± 26.08) were moderate. A significant inverse relationship was found between masculine traits and social phobia (p <0.001). Another significant inverse relationship was observed between feminine traits and high-risk behaviors (p <0.05).CONCLUSION: Given the poor relationship between gender role, social phobia and high-risk behaviors, it is essential to conduct further studies to determine the predictors of social phobia and high-risk behaviors in medical students.

Background: Functional constipation (FC) is a common disease in children. This disease can cause many behavioral and mental problems and ultimately reduce the quality of life. Reciprocally, psychological factors can play a role in the development and persistence of FC. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of social anxiety in children with chronic FC in Arak city, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 children between 10 - 17 years with chronic FC referred to Amirkabir Hospital in Arak, Iran, which is a specialized center, were enrolled. This study was done in 2022, and the participants' disease was diagnosed based on Rome ΙV criteria. The Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SASA) was completed by children under the guidance and supervision of their parents. Statistical analyses were performed in SPSS 22 using the Chi-square test and independent sample T-test. Results: The participants’ mean age (SD) was 13.43 ± 1.54 years. The prevalence of social anxiety was estimated at 67.5% (95%CI: 60.6 - 73.4), of whom 70% had moderate anxiety, and 30% had severe anxiety. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of social anxiety between the age groups (P = 0.167). The prevalence of social anxiety was significantly higher in girls (74.8%) than in boys (59.8%) (P = 0.034). Also, girls showed a significantly higher prevalence of severe social anxiety than boys (P = 0.023). Conclusions: In this study, the prevalence of social anxiety was found to be considerably high in children with chronic FC. There was no significant difference between different age groups in terms of the prevalence of social anxiety; however, the prevalence and severity of this disease were significantly higher in girls than in boys.
