Objective To evaluate the effect of a sex education program on sexual function and sexual quality of life in women with endometriosis. Methods In a quasi‐experimental study, women with endometriosis who had undergone laparoscopic surgery were assigned to an intervention group (n = 36) or a control group (n = 36). The intervention group received a sex education program consisting of two sessions a week (90 min each) for two consecutive weeks; the control group received none. Both groups were followed for 12 weeks. Sexual function and sexual quality of life were assessed on the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Sexual Quality of life‐Female (SQOL‐F) questionnaire before the intervention, as well as 8 and 12 weeks after the intervention. Outcomes were analyzed using Student t test, the χ2 test, Fisher exact test, and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results The mean age of the study participants was 36.9 ± 5.7 years. The two groups did not differ significantly in terms of demographics and pre‐intervention clinical characteristics. At the end of the study, sex education reduced female sexual dysfunction by 58.1% in the intervention group. The mean FSFI score increased significantly in the intervention group from pre‐intervention to 8 and 12 weeks post‐intervention compared with the scores in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions Sex education appears to be a promising intervention for reducing sexual dysfunction and improving sexual function and sexual quality of life in women with endometriosis. Future studies should encompass longer periods of follow up to obtain further data on the efficacy of sex education in this setting.

Background: An infant should be able to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing to have a safe and effective feeding, which is developed with the increasing gestational age. Any problem in each of these functions can lead to the risk of aspiration, pneumonia, decreased oxygenation saturation, apnea, and bradycardia. The changed body positions may cause changes in the physiological efficiencies of the preterm infants. The objective of this review is to determine the impact of body position on the physiological alternations in the preterm infants while bottle feeding. Methods: In order to review the previous studies, we referred the related resources from existing databases such as Scopus,

Data were described using descriptive statistics of frequency, frequency percentage, mean, standard deviation and data analysis by analysis of variance, independent t-test and regression using SPSS software version 19. Ethical considerations: This study with the code of ethics IR.IUMS.REC.1398.609 has been approved by the ethics committee of research Deputy of Iran University of Medical Sciences. Results: The mean of health-promoting lifestyle in the study units was 135.96. The components of physical activity with mean (16.31) and nutrition with mean (26.41) had the lowest and highest scores, respectively. The mean of psychological well-being in the study units was 72.29. The components of Purpose in life with mean (10.76) and Personal Growth with mean (13.19) had the lowest and highest scores, respectively. Age, chronic diseases, employment, number of children and alcohol consumption had a significant negative relationship with health-promoting lifestyle and education of woman and her husband had a significant positive relationship with health-promoting lifestyle (p<0.05). overall demographic variables predict as much as 13% of health-promoting lifestyles. Age, number of children, presence of chronic physical and psychological diseases had a significant negative relationship with psychological well-being and economic status, education of woman and her husband had a significant positive relationship with psychological well-being. overall, demographic variables predict as much as 10% of psychological well-being.

BACKGROUND: As pediatric surgeries are rising and current methods to reduce perioperative anxiety are lacking in preschool children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of video games on preoperative anxiety in 3- to-6-year old of a sample of Iranian children undergoing elective surgery children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the current quasi-experimental pretest posttest design, after standard translation, the modified Yale preoperative anxiety scale was administered to 102 children undergoing surgery from December 2016 to August 2017 in Kermanshah, Iran. Children are assigned to an intervention or control group. Each child's anxiety was measured at two points at the time of arrival and after waiting for 20 min in the holding area. Data were analyzed by SPSS, version 22. The Chi-square, independent t-test, and paired t-test at the significance level of P < 0.05 were performed. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the mean anxieties in control group (42.58 ± 18.54) and intervention group (46.11 ± 14.09) before the game (P = 0.282). However, after playing the video game in control groups (53.26 ± 18.00) and game groups (34.88 ± 10.81), there was a significant difference in favor of the video game (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Findings of the present study suggest that approved video game by experts to decrease mean preoperative anxiety in 3- to-6-year-old children. Therefore, video games recommended to be implemented at the preventive level in hospital.
