- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Cervical cancer has a high prevalence and mortality, while early diagnosis greatly reduces its complications. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors affecting the screening of cervical cancer. Studies have shown that health locus of control plays an important role in beliefs about screening. This study aimed to identify the correlation between health locus of control and beliefs about Pap smear among women.Methods: This was a descriptive study which was conducted cross-sectionally. It was conducted on 250 married women who had the inclusion criteria and attended health centers selected by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Oct. 2017 to February 2018 (a period of 5 months). Data collection tools included a demographic information questionnaire, multidimensional health locus of control scale, and the Pap Smear Belief Questionnaire (PSBQ). Data analysis was carried out through SPSS (v.17) using statistical tests including correlation and regression. The significance level was considered 0.05.Results: Among the participants, 50.8% never had a history of undergoing a Pap smear test. The mean scores for the internal health locus of control (IHLC), chance health locus of control (CHLC), and powerful others health locus of control (PHLC) were 22.59±5.32, 22.84±4.65 , and 24.54±4.28, respectively. The total score for the Pap smear belief had a significant positive correlation with two dimensions: IHLC (r=0.209, P=0.001) and PHLC (r=0.216, P=0.001). In addition, based on the results of the linear regression analysis, the scores of IHLC (R2=0.03, P=0.004), PHLC (R2=0.036, P=0.003), and CHLC (R2=0.16, P=0.04) were the predictors of the total score for the Pap smear belief.Conclusion: Our results showed that all dimensions of the health locus of control were the predictors of belief in women’s Pap smear screening. It is necessary that health care providers hold programs for health locus control of cervix cancer prevention in Iranian women.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Saffron is a perennial plant native to Iran which has been traditionally prescribed to facilitate labor. We aimed to investigate the effect of Crocus sativus (Saffron) on cervical ripening and progress of labor in a sample of primiparous term Iranian women.
Materials and Methods: This randomized double-blinded study, was conducted on 60 primiparous women whose gestational age was 40 weeks or longer and who had referred to Hazrat Zahra Marzieh hospital in Isfahan, Iran. Inclusion criteria were: singleton pregnancy, cephalic presentation of the fetus, lack of uterine contractions, intact amniotic sac and having a low-risk pregnancy. The intervention (n=30), and control groups (n=30) respectively received one saffron capsule (250 mg, the content of total flavonoid in each saffron capsule was calculated 0.13-0.18 mg), and one placebo capsule for 3 consecutive nights. Bishop scores of the samples were recorded before and after the intervention.
Results: The mean Bishop score before inclusion in the study did not show significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). However, on third day of study, this score in saffron group was higher than the placebo (Saffron: 3.93±1.10 vs. placebo: 2.52±1.57) (P=0.001). Further, the mean Bishop score in saffron group was higher on third day of study compared to before their inclusion in the study (before: 2.42±1.19 vs after: 3.93±1.10) (P=0.001). But the placebo group did not show a significant difference before and after inclusion in the study (P=0.16). The average length of first and second stages of labor in saffron group was shorter than in the placebo (P>0.05).
Conclusion: It seemsconsumption of oral saffron capsules, affects cervical softening and ripening, and progress of labor.- انتشار مقاله: 10-04-1399

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Promoting breast cancer screening (BCS) behavior of women can lead to a reduction in mortality. The health locus
of control affects cancer screening behavior of women; however, there is not sufficient evidence regaring this issue
in Iran. The overall goal of our study is to determine the relationship of the health locus of control with the breast
cancer screening belief of Iranian Women. This is a cross-sectional study carried out on 325 women in Tehran. The
Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC), Breast Cancer Screening Belief Questionnaire (BCSBQ), and
Demographic questionnaire were used for collecting data. Statistical analyze was performed by the SPSS version 17
software. The Pearson correlation and regression model were used for data analyze. In this study, 325 women, age 18
to 75 years, participated in this study. The mean±SD of BCSBQ and MHLC score was 40.72±10.41 and 67.78±17.67
respectively. The regression analysis showed that for the one-unit increase in the Internal Health Locus of Control (IHLC),
Powerful others Health Locus of Control (PHLC), and Chance Health Locus of Control (CHLC) score (dimensions of
Health Locus of Control), the total BCSBQ scores increased 0.54, 0.31, and 0.57 respectively. For each unit increase in
age and education, the knowledge and perceptions of the BC score increased 0.05 and 0.23 units respectively. For the
one-unit increase in the IHLC, PHLC, age, and education dimensions, the attitudes towards the general health checkup
score increased 0.17, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.188 respectively. The current study provided new insights about the BCSB
of Iranian women with MHLC. In the study, all the dimensions of the health locus of control were useful in predicting
the breast cancer screening belief of the participants.- انتشار مقاله: 17-09-1396
