“…In this study, the mean overall score of health-promoting behaviors was moderate (M = 2.40), which was equal with the study conducted on infertile women (M = 2.40) in Tabriz, Iran (24). However, it was lower in comparison to the studies conducted on women in reproductive age in Tehran, Iran (21), adolescent girls in Sanandaj, Iran (25), postmenopausal women in Tabriz, Iran (22) and it was higher compared with a study on women with polycystic ovarian syndrome in Urmia, Iran (26). The discrepancy in health-promoting behaviors between this study and previous ones conducted in other cities of Iran could be associated with the effect of disease and the characteristics of the subjects, culture, physical environment, social structure, and promotional activities (27,28).…”

“…In another study, a significant relationship was found between increased selfefficacy and reduced stress, anxiety, and depression (41). Also, a study conducted on adolescent girls in 2015 showed the positive effect of self-efficacy on improved lifestyle (17). Thus, it is necessary that the counseling sessions regarding promoting self-efficacy be held by health care providers in health centers for all women in different age groups.…”

Background: Attention to women's health is considered a health priority in every country. One of the factors that promote women's general health is self-efficacy. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of counseling on the self-efficacy of middle-aged women. Methods: The present randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 102 middle-aged women (51 women in each group) and was covered by health centers in Tabriz in 2015 -16. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups (one group received counseling and another did not) using the block randomization stratified based on age (40 to 50 and 50 to 60) in block sizes of 4 and 6. The intervention group received counseling on health promotion over three 45-minute sessions. Sherer et al's general self-efficacy scale was completed in both groups before the intervention, and four and eight weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: Before the intervention, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of self-efficacy. Four and eight weeks after intervention, mean (SD) of self-efficacy scores were 69.0 (11.4) and 71.7 (11.1) respectively in the counseling group and 65.7 (13.2) and 64.9 (11.3) respectively in the control group. After the intervention, and with adjusting the baseline values, repeated measures ANOVA test showed a significantly higher mean self-efficacy score in the counseling group compared to the control group (Adjusted mean difference = 5.3; 95% confidence interval = 2.1 to 8.5; P < 0.001). Conclusions: Counseling in middle-aged women can lead to improved self-efficacy, resulting in improved health in this age group.

“…The 6 dimensions of AHLQ include nutrition (6 items), physical activity (6 items), health responsibility (8 items), stress management (4 items), social support (5 items), spiritual growth and self-actualization (7 items). The total score of AHLQ could range from 36 to 180 and is interpreted as unhealthy (a score of 36 to 84), moderately healthy (a score of 85 to 133), and healthy (a score of 134 to 180) lifestyle (24). Taymoori et al (2012) used AHLQ to assess the health-promoting lifestyle of a group of Iranian adolescents and reported a Cronbach's alpha of 0.82 (22).…”

Background: Lifestyle is a set of health-promoting behaviors, which empower individuals to maintain and promote their health and prevent illnesses. Poor lifestyle habits in adolescence endanger individuals' health in adulthood. The present study was performed to analyze the relationship between social capital and lifestyle among a group of Iranian adolescents. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was performed during year 2014. A stratified random sample of 400 tenth-, eleventh-and twelfth-year students was recruited from boys' and girls' high schools located in Birjand, Iran. Data were collected via a demographic questionnaire, the social capital index, and the adherence to a healthy lifestyle questionnaire. The data were entered in the SPSS software (v. 16). Descriptive statistics measures, such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation, were used to describe the data. Moreover, pearson and spearman correlation analyses, one-way analysis of variance, stepwise regression analysis, as well as independent-sample t, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed for data analysis. Results: Most participants had good social capital and a moderately healthy lifestyle. Social capital was positively correlated with lifestyle (r = 0.49; P < 0.001). Stepwise regression analysis showed that gender and social capital explained 33% of the total variance of lifestyle (R 2 = 0.33; F = 100.52; and P < 0.001).
