Excessive an dun controlled use of television by children expose them to some risks such developmental, social and psychological disorders. With regard to the important role of parents in their children's education and control of effective parameters on their children’s health promotion, this study aimed to determine the impact of education on the basis of the theory of planned behavior on the level and method of supervision of their parents on watching television by students in 2012.Material and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on 120 parents of students of the first grade and the fifth grade of primary schools in Gonabad who were randomly assigned into two interventional and control groups. Demographic and research information related to theory structures of planned behavior, knowledge and parents function and hours of television watch in gby children were collected by using a self-report question nairesat the time of intervention and one month later. Content Validity Ratio (CVR), Content Validity Index (CVI),panel of experts and its reliability for psychometric questionnaires were taken into account. Intervention was implemented with a teaching manual “children and television"inthree45-60minutesessionsfor parents of students in the intervention group in four groups of 15 people using group discussion focused on the theory structural of planned behavior. The data were analyzed usingSPSS-20softwareand Paired T-test, Independent T- test, Mann-Whitney, Wilcox on statistical tests.Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic variables, the average hours of watching television by children, parents knowledge score and the mean of theory structures of planned behavior score. But after the intervention, significant differences in the average hours of watching television by children(from 6.74±2.02  to 4.28±2.40) (P=0.039),knowledge score(from 5.8±2.1to7.7±1.9) (P= 0.001),attitude structure scores(from 35.5±11.5to48.4±8.9) (P=0.003),subjective e norm(from ​​ 11.8±8.1 to24.5±8.6) (P>0.001)and behavioral intention(from18.6±7.4  to31.8±5.1) (P=0.001)were observed but no significant changes in the sevariables were observed in the control group. Conclusion: The result ssuggest that the educational intervention based on the theory structure of planned behavior can change knowledge, attitude, subjective norm, and behavioral intention of their parents in monitoring and controlling their children's television watching and improve the parents monitoring performance and can result in reducing watching television by their children.

The aim of this study was to investigate the predicting factors related to self-care behaviors among type 2 diabetic patients based on Health Belief Model(HBM).    Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 390 diabetic patients referred to Hamadan Diabetes Research Center who were recruited with a simple sampling method. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire including demographic characteristics, self-care behaviors and HBM construct. Data was analyzed by SPSS-19 using coefficient correlation, T-Test, One-way ANOVA, liner regression.   Results: According to the results, Health model explained 29.6% of the variance in frequency of self-care behaviors. Perceived self-efficacy, perceived severity, perceived barrier and perceived susceptibility were the best significant predictors (P <0.05). Significant differences in average score of self-regulation behaviors in related to education level and family history in last care were seen (P <0.05).   Conclusion: These findings suggest that applying Health Belief Model would be an efficient tool for predicting self-care behaviors among diabetic patients. }, Keywords = {Attitude, Diabetes, Health Belief Model, Self-Care behavior}, volume = {1}, Number = {4}, pages = {16-25}, publisher = {Torbat Heydarieh University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://jms.thums.ac.ir/article-1-70-en.html}, eprint = {http://jms.thums.ac.ir/article-1-70-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Torbat Heydariyeh University of Medical Sciences}, issn = {2716-9669}, eissn = {2716-9669}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {kamalzadeh, S and sabokbar, A}, title = {Molecular Survey of Pathogen Species of Aspergillus Isolated from Diabetic Foot Lesion Using Nested PCR Method}, abstract ={Background and Aim:  PCR has high sensitivity and specificity for the determination offungal DNA.

The purpose of this study was to compare culture method with nested PCR method to determine Aspergillesion in diabetic foot patient in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran. Material and Methods: Sixty-five cases of suspicious diabetic foot lesion Aspergillusis were examined under culture and molecular method. Aspergillus isolates were identified to genus level on the SGA. DNA extraction performed and PCR and Nested PCR reactions were done. Serum samples were collected and ELISA for anti bodies against all species were performed. Results were analyzed using ANOVA and P was considered significant at P<0.05. Results: Of the total of 65 samples, 39 were diagnosed as Aspergillos is obtained from cultures. In PCR and Nested PCR using specific primers, 41 samples were diagnosed as Aspergillus.PCR and Nested PCR for species recognition were equal but differences in gender were recognized. ELISA results showed that 39 samples were positive.   Conclusion: Although PCR is less sensitive than nested PCR, but we can recognize the most common pathogenic species, Aspergillus fumigatus.
