This study was conducted to determine the effect of blended educational package designed on the prevention of iron deficiency anemia in adolescent girls. Methods: Quasi-experimental research (intervention-control) was done. A researcher-made questionnaire which was validated by content validity method and its reliability was test-retested. The statistical population of the study: 120 female high school students in Kermanshah in the 2019-20 academic year were randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control. The designed blended educational package containing conversational and lecture sessions (oral), written (pamphlet) and sending virtual messages through Soroush messenger was prepared for the age group of 14-19 years. The research instruments included a demographic information questionnaire and iron deficiency anemia questionnaire Data with SPSS version 19 and descriptive statistics,Mean and standard deviation and inferential statistics,Leven test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and analysis of covariance and ANOVA were analyzed. Results: Mean and standard deviation of knowledge before and after training were 27. 89 ±,4. 39 and after the intervention were 30. 19±,3. 9, respectively, which was statistically significant (p = 0. 011. ) Mean and standard deviation for attitude before and after training 40. 17 8 8. 68 and after the intervention 58. 97 ±,7. 97 that this difference was statistically significant (p = 0. 009) Means & SD of performance before and after training to the order was 24. 3±, 8. 5. 1 and after the intervention was 30. 72 ±,3. 11 which was statistically significant (p = 0. 003). The mean of knowledge, attitude and practice of the two groups before training were not significantly different, but after the intervention, the mean score of knowledge (p = 0. 011), attitude (p = 0. 009) and performance (p = 0. 003) of the intervention group compared to the control group found a significant difference. Conclusions: The results indicate the effect of blended educational package on knowledge, attitude and short-term performance of female students in the field of prevention of iron deficiency anemia.

Introduction: With the appearance of social changes and traditional transformations, family care for the elderly has decreased, which has special physical, psychological, social, and economic consequences for this generation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between "intergenerational relationships" and "social support" on "self-care ability" in the elderly with chronic disease. Methods: This analytical study was conducted in 2020 in the educational and medical centers of Golestan University of Medical Sciences. Using the available sampling method, 360 elderly patients with chronic disease were included in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires of "intergenerational relationships, social support, self-care". Wilcoxon, linear regression, and linear equation analysis were used to analyze the data using SPSS software version 21 and at a significance level of 0. 05. Results: The mean and standard deviation of intergenerational relationships (40. 7±,4. 6) were somewhat good, and social support (85. 02±, 11. 31) and self-care (70. 8 ±,53. 84) was high. There was a positive and significant relationship between social support and intergenerational relationships (β, =0. 24, P<0. 001), but the relationship between intergenerational relationships and self-care (β, =0. 18, P <0. 001) and social support with self-care (r =-0. 276, P <0. 001) was inverse and significant. Conclusions: With the increase of intergenerational relations, the dimensions of social support in the elderly with chronic diseases increased. Older people with stronger social support and intergenerational relationships were less able to take care of themselves. It seems that the studied elderly left their responsibility of care to the family and therefore paid less attention to themselves.

All three groups completed the Beck (1990) Self-concept Questionnaire and after completing eight sessions of positive thinking skills training (two sessions a week for 4 weeks) and eight sessions of acceptance/commitment therapy (two sessions a week for 4 weeks) in the experimental groups, the mentioned questionnaire was completed in the groups. The results were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance. Results: Both positive thinking skills training and acceptance and commitment therapy have a significant effect on the self-concept of shy female students (p<0. 001),while acceptance/commitment therapy to positive thinking skills has a greater effect on increasing self-concept of shy female students (p<0. 001). Conclusions: Due to the superiority of the effectiveness of acceptance/commitment therapy to improving self-concept of shy female students, is recommended the use of this method and the importance of holding training courses on this approach should be informed to students' parents.

Introduction: Health literacy is the ability to obtain, process and understand basic health information and is one of the most important issues in the quality of patients' health. And since it has an effect on promoting appropriate decisions on people's physical health, it can be said to be effective on people's quality of life.

Data collection tools included Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA) and Quality of Life Questionnaire (SF-12). Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20 and Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA and t-test for independent samples at a significant level of p<0. 05. Results: The mean health literacy of the elderly was 78. 97±,5. 24 and the mean quality of life of the elderly was 37. 40±,6. 64. Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between the overall score of health literacy level and the overall score of quality of life of the elderly (p <0. 05). There was also a positive and significant correlation between health literacy and general perception score, physical function, physical health, physical pain, emotional problems, social functioning, vitality and vital energy and mental health score in the elderly (p <0. 05).
