Background The present study determined the validity and reliability of the substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model among the people of Yazd, central Iran. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical psychometric research was conducted on 391 Akramiyeh, Yazd residents using a systematic sampling method in 2021. First, a questionnaire was prepared based on the results of a qualitative study and the constructs of a multi-theory model, and its face validity was confirmed. Having collected the data, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined with SPSS using factor analysis, internal consistency, convergent validity, and Cronbach's α. Results The factor loading of all items was more than 0.5 and was in the desired range. The results obtained from confirmatory factor analysis based on parameter estimation showed that in all seven constructs of the questionnaire, the relevant items had a significant relationship with each latent variable (P < 0.001). All factor loadings were higher than 0.4 and Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated as 0.940 for the entire questionnaire. The highest factor loading (27%) was related to the construct of change in the social environment. Regarding substance abuse prevention behavior, the construct of participatory dialogue played a role by 9.58%, the constructs of emotional transformation by 7.98%, change in the physical environment by 5.95%, behavioral confidence by 3.3%, and practicing for change by 3.16%. Conclusion The substance abuse prevention questionnaire based on the multi-theory model has acceptable validity and reliability and can be effective in predicting factors and designing interventions aimed at preventing substance abuse among young people.

Aim The aims of the study were to analyse the current situation of health literacy (HL), self‐management and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), to explore the correlation between the three and to verify the mediating role of self‐management in HL and HRQOL. Design A cross‐sectional survey. Methods The convenience sampling method was used to select 401 DPN patients attending the First Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University in Liaoning Province, China, from December 2020 to December 2021 as the study population. The research instrument included socio‐demographic characteristics questionnaire, Health Literacy Management Scale (HeLMS), Summary of Diabetes Self‐Care Activities (SDSCA) and Short‐Form 12‐item Health Survey (SF‐12). SPSS 25.0 was applied to the data for descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and stratified multiple regression analysis. Mediating effects were tested using SPSS PROCESS macro 4.0 software. Results HL and self‐management of DPN patients correlated positively with HRQOL. The mediation role of self‐management was significant in the relationship between HL and physical and mental HRQOL (physical component summary: β = 0.26, P < 0.01; mental component summary: β = 0.18, P < 0.01), with mediating effects accounting for 35.62% and 34.62% of the total effect. Conclusions There was a positive correlation between HL, self‐management and HRQOL in patients with DPN. Self‐management plays a partially mediating role in the relationship between HL and HRQOL in DPN patients. It means that HRQOL in this population can be improved by increasing HL and thus self‐management in DPN patients. Patient or Public Contribution None.

“…11,12 Greater than 97% of deliveries in Iran occur in hospitals, making the IMaN database a reliable sample of pregnancy and its complications throughout the country and an important source of epidemiological information for SARS-CoV-2 information in newborns. 11,12 Study patients included liveborn neonates 28 days of age having suspected as well as confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection that were admitted to the hospital following delivery. Inclusion criteria for suspected cases included having a clinical presentation consistent with neonatal COVID-19 or those neonates having a positive history of contact with SARS-CoV-2-infected persons who required hospital admission.…”

“…10 It is managed through the Iran Ministry of Health and since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic has been a valuable and unique source of real-time data for recording the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pregnant women and their babies. In addition to hospital births, IMaN records almost all births, both liveborn and stillborn, selected demographics, and maternal and neonatal health information electronically from throughout the country [10][11][12] To describe the Iranian national experience with COVID-19 among neonates, we conducted a retrospective analysis of the accumulated data in the IMaN for a 1-year period beginning at the start of the pandemic. This communication describes the epidemiological and clinical spectrum of COVID-19 from 4,015 neonates from throughout Iran who were suspected or confirmed as having SARS-CoV-2 infection following delivery to an infected mother and discusses current concepts of the pathophysiology of vertical infection.…”

Objective The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on pregnant women and neonates in Iran. This retrospective study describes the national experience among neonates having suspected and confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection following hospital admission to examine the epidemiology, demographic and clinical features. Study Design All nationwide cases of suspected and confirmed neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection were drawn from the Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network (IMaN) between February 2020 to February 2021. IMaN registers demographic, maternal, and neonatal health data throughout Iran. Statistical analysis of demographic, epidemiological and clinical data were performed. Results There were 4,015 liveborn neonates having suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection that fulfilled the study inclusion criteria identified in the IMaN registry from 187 hospitals throughout Iran. There were 1,392 (34.6%) neonates that were preterm, including 304 (7.6%) less than 32 weeks gestation. Among the 2,567 newborns admitted to the hospital immediately after birth, the most common clinical problems were respiratory distress (1,095 cases; 42.6%), sepsis-like syndrome (355; 13.8%) and cyanosis (300 cases; 11.6%). Of 683 neonates transferred from another hospital, the most frequent problems were respiratory distress (388; 56.8%), sepsis-like syndrome (152; 22.2%), and cyanosis (134; 19.6%). Among 765 neonates discharged home after birth and subsequently admitted to the hospital, sepsis-like syndrome (244 cases; 31.8%), fever (210; 27.4%), and respiratory distress (185; 24.1%) were most frequent. A total of 2,331 (58%) of neonates required respiratory care, with 2,044 surviving and 287 having a neonatal death. Approximately 55% of surviving neonates received respiratory support, compared with 97% of neonates who expired. Laboratory abnormalities included elevations of WBCs, CPK, liver enzymes, and CRP. Conclusions This report adds the national experience of Iran to the list of reports from multiple countries describing their experience with COVID-19 in neonates, demonstrating that newborns are not exempt from COVID-19-morbidity and mortality.
