“…Regarding the determinants of pregnancy among women, the results showed a significant relationship be-tween age and the incidence of pregnancy, and the highest pregnancy rate was reported in women aged 15 -24 years. It is clear that younger women have not reached their ideal number of children, compared to older women; therefore, the rate of precedency is higher among younger women, which is consistent with another study in Sistan and Baluchestan (32). The current findings also revealed that occupational status is one of the predictors of pregnancy.…”

“…In this study, most pregnancies were reported in Baluch women. This finding is consistent with the study in Sistan and Baluchestan, which found a significant relationship between ethnicity and fertility behavior (32). On the other hand, Asadisarvestani (32) found no significant relationship between ethnicity and fertility behavior in Shiraz County.…”

“…This finding is consistent with the study in Sistan and Baluchestan, which found a significant relationship between ethnicity and fertility behavior (32). On the other hand, Asadisarvestani (32) found no significant relationship between ethnicity and fertility behavior in Shiraz County. It was concluded that other social, economic, and cultural factors can undermine the role of ethnicity (26).…”

“…In other words, the proportion of housewives who became pregnant during treatment was significantly higher than employed women. This may be due to the fact that the desired number of children is lower in employed women; their authority in the family is higher; and they have more exposure to information about contraceptives and complications of pregnancy during treatment (26,32).…”

Background: One of the main concerns during cancer treatment is the occurrence of pregnancy due to its wide range of complications. Objectives: This study aimed to determine some influential factors on pregnancy during cancer treatment among women of reproductive ages that were under cancer treatment. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated 133 women of reproductive age, who were under cancer treatment, as well as women who had undergone chemotherapy or radiotherapy up to one year ago in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Data were collected from three medical centers in Zahedan from 2019 to 2020, using a researcher-made questionnaire. Results: Regarding the pregnancy rate, 23.0% of women had pregnancy during cancer treatment, including unintended (52.0%) and intended (48.0%) pregnancies that 55.0% of these pregnancies led to abortion, and 45.0% to livebirths. The results highlighted that during treatment women with and without pregnancy differed significantly in age (P = 0.001), ethnicity (P = 0.024), husband’s education level (P = 0.014), woman’s occupation (P = 0.021), couple’s agreement on number of children (P = 0.024), and physician consultation about contraceptives (P = 0.048). The main predictors of pregnancy were the woman’s age pregnancy (OR = 0.927, P = 0.011), occupation (OR = 0.358, P = 0.046), and ethnicity (OR = 2.49, P = 0.045). Conclusions: Considering the complications of pregnancy during cancer treatment, health planners should pay more attention to family planning for women under treatment, particularly in less developed regions.

“…The application of bio-psychosocial model in thalassemia can interpret the biological factors related to the thalassemia in the context of genetic vulnerability, disability and physical health while social factors includes awareness and knowledge about the disease and cultural practices for the understanding and propagation of thalassemia. Reviewing the literature showed that psychological aspects are only measured as impact of thalassemia on patients and their families (Baraz et al, 2016;Behdani et al, 2015;Mansoor et al, 2018), however genetic abnormalities (Brancaleoni et al, 2016;de Dreuzy et al, 2016) and socio-cultural factors (Sarvestani et al, 2019;Seyedifar et al, 2016) are the major risk factors of thalassemia propagation.…”

Aminul Islam -Refugees and Untold Stories Context of EstoniaEstonia recently transformed from a refugee producing country to a refugee hosting country (Tammaru et al., 2010). The number of applicants started to increase in the year 2010 but reached at its peak in the year 2015, when the number of asylum seekers were 230. However, by the end of 2018, there were 322 refugees living in Estonian (UNHCR, 2018). Estonia also agreed to accept quota refugees as part of European relocation program and these refugees are from Non-European ethnic background. Islam ( 2016) in his study on Estonian refugees, pointed out that there is no significant academic research on existing refugees from outside Europe, Estonia will start to receive quota refugees from non-European ethnic background. Therefore, academics and researchers need to address this issue to integrate these refugees into the host society. Aim of This StudyAny groups or community in a society, which are marginalized need to have adequate space, so they can tell their stories at a pace which can be conducive for them. Researchers duty is to move beyond the words and to extract the silences and blank untold stories (Sorsoli, 2010). To explore silences and untold stories, unstructured life story method is suitable for the researchers, as it allows bringing out the counter narratives through long conversations, which allows the narrators to reveal their stories (Ward, 2003). Spector-Mersel (2011) proposed a narrative interpretive model to find out the identity of the narrators and according to him it can be revealed by the Narratives end point (EP), researchers need to attend or focus on what is added in the stories and what is excluded. To be able to come up with the end point (EP), one needs to take the silences (what is excluded), omissions (were irrelevant), and flattening (were told but not elaborated) into account to reconstruct identity, which can be suitable for themselves. By studying specific settings, this study aimed to explore the coping resources and the present and past experiences of two groups with refugee experiences in Estonia through narrative approach.
