Background and Objective: General health is not simply determined by whether or not an individual is sick, but is dependent on physical, mental and social factors too. One such important factor is an individual's religious inclination. The present study aims to explore the correlation between religious beliefs and quality of life in the students at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences.Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted in 2014. The sample consisted of 273 students who were randomly selected. Data were collected using Religious Attitude Questionnaire and a quality of life scale. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and SPSS v. 23. Result:The students' average age was 21.36±2.15. The means of their quality of life scores and religious attitude scores were 87.23 and 146.31 respectively. The results of Pearson's correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between quality of life and its subscales on one hand and religious attitude and its indexes on the other; in other words, the students' mental well-being was found to correlate with their religious beliefs. Conclusion:Since religious beliefs affect college students' mental well-being and quality of life, it is suggested that through organized education, students' religious awareness be raised.

In recent years, a lot of efforts have been made toward developing new methods for treating drug addicts. The present study aims to compare the effectiveness of the drug addiction treatment methods used for the addicts at the drug addiction treatment center of Jahrom, Iran in 2014. The present study is a retrospective cohort study whose population consisted of all the individuals who were undergoing treatment at the medical center of MMT in Jahrom. Sampling of the files of the entire patients (150) was based on the census method. The researchers studied each treatment group separately. The data collected from the patients' files were included their personal and medical information and level of improvement. The results of the patients' treatment plans (MMT, BMT, and opium tincture) were collected, compared and analyzed. For the statistical analysis of the data, the researchers used descriptive indexes (frequency and percentage), the chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and SPSS v. 24. Based on the collected data, the effectiveness of the treatments was as follows: weak (30%) in 6.0% of the BMT cases and 12.0% of MMT cases; moderate (50%) in 72.0% of the BMT cases and 27.8% of MMT cases; and satisfactory (60%) and above in 22.0% of the BMT cases and 60.3% of MMT cases, all of which values were statistically significant. The results of the study show that using methadone is a more effective method for treating drug abuse compared to other treatments.
