The use of addictive substances as a social issue has raised many concerns at various levels of human societies. In this, the tendency to addictive substances in adolescent girls as mothers of the next generation is worrying. The purpose of this review was to identify the factors of the tendency to use addictive substances among adolescent girls and to explain the contexts, contexts, and the role of the main and effective variables on the tendency to use addictive substances. During the past years, several studies have been conducted in Iran in the field of etiology and prevention of drug use. Planning is necessary to promote future research activities, evaluate and categorize the scientifically produced results of the past decades regarding the adolescent girl population. This study suggests a clear perspective for specialists and therapists to identify the threatening and predisposing factors for the treatment of addictive substance abuse in adolescent girls and, if necessary, appropriate interventions.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of narrative therapy on sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer. Method: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test–post-test design with a control group. Among married women with skin cancer in Mashhad (Iran), 30 available individuals were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Narrative therapy was performed in a group of 15 people in nine sessions (experimental group). The Female Sexual Function Index and Couple Burnout Measure were used to collect pre-test and post-test data. Analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: Group narrative therapy significantly improved reported sexual function (F = 40.90; p = .001) and decreased couple burnout (F = 59.03; p = .001) in women with skin cancer. Conclusions: Narrative therapy seems to effectively improve sexual function and couple burnout in women with skin cancer.
