The role and importance of security in every society's progress is so great that many consider it the platform of any development. Especially, in developing countries with a variety of crises and the ongoing challenges of backwardness, instability, and different political structures that they are facing, social security plays an important role in development. Sense of security is more important than security. Sense of security is as important as the safety in the community. In fact, sense of security is considered as a combination of individual, psychological, and social factors. Security is viewed as the objective dimension and the feeling of security as the subjective dimension of the matter. The purpose of this research is to study women's sense of security in the city of Amol and the social factors related to it. The research method is descriptive-explanatory, and for data collection, the survey method and a researcher-made questionnaire were used. The results showed that the relationship between individual characteristics (age, education, income, class, and marital status) and sense of security is not significant. There is a significant direct relationship between sense of security and place of residence, between government-induced security and sense of security, and between social trust and feeling of security. Therefore, the relationship between sense of security and personal characteristics is rejected, and the relationship between sense of security and social trust at intermediate and macro levels is accepted with the maximum significance.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) deprives the heart muscle of blood and oxygen, and causes chest pain and pressure sensation, in many cases; these patients have fear and anxiety. This research has been conducted to study the effect of knowledge about self care behaviors on fear and anxiety in patients with CAD in Shahid Madani hospital in Tabriz in 1391. This study is a quasi-experimental study that comprised 150 patients with CAD, who had been admitted in Shahid Madani hospital in Tabriz, they were selected randomly and divided into two groups (control and experimental).

In this paper we aim to study violence against women (by their husbands) as an important social issue (especially in Turkey). Here, we focus on the influential situation and the factors, explaining theories and appropriate solutions for preventing or treating this problem. We used the library method for collecting the data. Violence is defined as a behavior against the physical, intellectual, moral, and spiritual integrity, against property, cultural values or other kinds of symbolic values. Violence against wife (by husband) happens in different forms: emotional, verbal, economical, sexual and physical forms. Based on the findings of this study, among the influential factors on violence, we can mention economical problems such as poverty, drinking alcohol, not meeting the gender role expectations by wives or husbands, the others' interference in the couple's affairs. There are also some socialized beliefs which help the persistence of this problem. According to the researches in Turkey (which is considered as a main problem in many countries such as Iran), violence-affected women prefer to cover this problem and not report it to some people such as their relatives, the police, psychologists or social workers because they believe that they will be blamed by their relatives and alleged for being incapable of playing their role in the society. This situation prevents women from getting any social supportive helps. Finally, they have to tolerate this violent behavior which gradually changes to a habit. The common culture of the community also legitimates the violent behavior of men against women. Even the media, by broadcasting the television series and showing the men as the agent of violence and women as submitting to violence, reinforces this social problem as much as possible. Some psychological and sociological theories have explained violence: for example, Freud’s instinct oriented theory which considers violence as the result of projecting the death instinct towards the victim. Based on Moniz theory, violence is caused by neurological and physiological damage and is the result of bearing life pressures. Among these theories, Learning Theory has an especial place. Thinkers of this theory consider violence as a behavior model. It is learned during the socialization process in childhood by children who experience violence in their family. Findings of studies about the effects of violence on women show severe spiritual and mental effects such as depression, fear and anxiety, isolation and other kinds of phobia. In order to treat this problem or prevent it,at first it is necessary to solve cultural and mental obstacles which legitimate these kinds of violence. Then, implementing some methods such as empowering women, offering regular counseling services to both sides, institutional, legal and economic support of women, monitoring the media programs and reforming the economical structure seems necessary.
