Background: Autism spectrum disorder is a term used to describe a constellation of early- appearing social communication deficits and repetitive sensory–motor behaviours associated with a strong hereditary component as well as other causes. Material and Method: A descriptive study was conducted in Care Centers in  Holy Karbala from 1 May  2021until 2 July 2021 to assessment of  Learning problems of Children at Autism. A Non-Probability of (Purposive Sample) of (69) Autistic children was selected to be a sample of this study, under the following criteria. Data analysis approaches is used in order to analyze the data of the study under investigation of the statistical package (SPSS) ver. (20)

Cardiac catheterization (CC) is a technique in which a symptomatic patient with heart disease undergoes a routine that necessitates hospitalization. This study aims to assess patients’ adherence to therapeutic recommendations after percutaneous coronary intervention. Cross-sectional quantitative descriptive design carried out in Al-Najaf Governorate. Non-probability purposive sampling consisted of 120 patients with coronary artery disease for at least six months after percutaneous coronary intervention. The start date was from October 1st, 2020 and last to May 1th, 2022. The data gathered via interview method by Adhrerence questionnaire which include 54 items. This study finds that from sample 40.8% were within 51-60 years old, 65.8% were male, 20.8% were intermediate school graduated, 59.2% were rural residence, 90% were married, 72.5% experienced CAD for less than 6 years, 98.3% received therapeutic recommendations, 38.3% admitted for the second time, and 70.8% have fair level of adherence. In turn Age, level of education, disease duration significantly associated with adherence variable. Patients’ adherence to therapeutic recommendations is moderate after PCI. As age increases, adherence to therapeutic recommendations decreases. Good level of adherence accelerates among patients with high educational level.Longer disease duration accompanying with poor adherence.

As life expectancy has increased and the global population has aged, the global burden of chronic diseases has risen alarmingly. This study aims to determine if there is any significant correlation between adherence to therapeutic recommendations and locus of control orientation. Cross-sectional quantitative correlational design carried out in Al-Najaf City. Non-randomized purposive sampling consisted of 120 patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. The date collected from June 20th, 2021 and last to November 27th, 2021 through interview method by Multi-dimensional health locus of control questionnaire form (C) which include 18 items, and adherence questionnaire which include 54 items in addition to multi-dimensional health locus of control instrument which include 18 items regarding internal, chance, and power full others domains. This study finds that patients adherence to therapeutic recommendations and their locus of control orientation is significantly correlated through statistical indicator of Pearson correlation of 0.539 at probability value of less than 0.05. The study findings also reveals that it is possible to predict patient’s adherence to therapeutic recommendations through their locus of control orientation. Internal LOC. Orientation appear to be associated with disease prevention and control in addition to health promotion.
