Authors: Sarani Yaztappeh Jafar , Bakhtiyari Maryam , Bakhshani Nour-Mohammad , Mousavi Seyedeh Elnaz , Masjedi-Arani Abbas , Saberi Esfeedvajani Mohsen 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:
Adolescents with a background in families affected by substance use exhibit an increased susceptibility to developing individual substance-related or other mental disorders. Consequently, they represent a crucial demographic for targeted preventive interventions. The current study examined the impact of selective prevention (SP) and family-based prevention (F-BP) measures on addiction susceptibility, affiliation with deviant peers (ADP), risk-taking, and risk and protective factors (RPFs) related to substance use among high-risk adolescents.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The study employed an experimental design incorporating pretest, posttest, and 6-month follow-up. A sample of 60 adolescents, meeting the study criteria, was selected and assigned to two intervention groups and one control group using a simple randomization method (with 20 individuals in each group). Measures encompassed the Risk and Protective Factors Inventory (RAPI), Addiction Susceptibility Questionnaire-Adolescents Version (ASQ-AV), Adolescent Affiliation with Deviant Peers Scale (AADPS), and Iranian Adolescents Risk-taking Scale (IARS). The data were analyzed with repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24 software.

RESULTS:
The results revealed significant differences only between the SP and F-BP groups in the variables of adolescent risk-taking and addiction susceptibility. However, for the other study variables, no significant differences were observed between the SP and F-BP groups. Furthermore, notable differences were identified between the control group and F-BP, as well as between the control group and SP, across all study variables (P value < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:
The outcomes of our investigation reinforce the importance of adopting multifaceted approaches in substance abuse prevention, emphasizing the need to target various aspects of individuals’ lives. Regarding data generalization, it is noteworthy that the sample comprised adolescents predominantly from middle- or low-income groups, suggesting caution in extending findings to the entire adolescent population. Finally, we recommend that future studies assess interventions that involve both adolescents and parents in sessions.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:
Effective management of heart failure (HF) requires an integrated approach involving pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Available evidence shows that patients benefit from adjunctive therapies along with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). Still, there is an inadequacy in the use of the best available evidence and the self-management of symptoms by the patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a Heart Failure Nursing Protocol (HF-NP) on selected parameters, that is, symptoms, self-care adequacy, episodes of hospitalizations, depression, exercise capacity, medication adherence, activities of daily living (ADLs), and quality of life (QOL) of the HF patients.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
A pre-experimental study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Northern India. A total of 101 patients were enrolled using a convenient sampling technique. Participants were trained individually through demonstrations and educational sessions about self-management of HF at home. An informational booklet was given to all the participants consisting of information about HF, dietary instructions, individual exercise schedules based on the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, identification of worsening symptoms, daily monitoring of vital parameters, and self-management of HF at home. Telephonic encouragement was provided on day 15, 1 month, and 3 months of baseline visits. The data were checked for normality using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and analyzed using a paired t-test, Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test, and McNemar’s test as appropriate.

RESULTS:
There was significant improvement in outcomes, such as breathing difficulty (P = 0.028), activity intolerance (P = 0.013), self-care adequacy (P = 0.001), depression (P = 0.001), exercise intensity (P = 0.001), QOL (P = 0.001), and medication adherence (P = 0.001) after 3 months of intervention.

CONCLUSION:
HF-NP was effective in improving HF outcomes. It can be used to train patients and their family members regarding the debilitating illness, after doing a large study, and it can be incorporated into the health policy later.

Authors: Dorri Sedeh Sanaz , Aghaei Asghar 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:
Approximately 46% of university students experience mental health problems. Additionally, the university students’ well-being was lower than their general well-being. This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the PERMA model education on university students’ well-being.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This study used a semi-experimental research design, involving one intervention group and one control group. The groups underwent a pre-test, post-test, and a 45-day follow-up. This study was conducted at the Department of Education and Psychology, Azad University of Isfahan (Khorasgan) Branch, and all students in this department were considered the statistical population for this study. The research tools used were the Butler and Kern PERMA-Profiler questionnaires. In two stages, pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, the experimental group participated in six educational intervention sessions. Educational interventions included Seligman’s PERMA model, which defines psychological well-being in five domains: positive emotions (P), engagement (E), relationships (R), meaning (M), and accomplishment (A). Each session lasted for 90 min over 3 weeks (two sessions per week), while the control group had no training sessions.

RESULTS:
Multiple covariance analysis of well-being showed no significant difference found between the two groups in the pre-test (P = 0.19). However, a significant improvement was observed in the intervention group in the post-test (P = 0.03) and follow-up (P = 0.001).

CONCLUSION:
This study suggests the use of Seligman’s PERMA model to improve the psychological well-being of university students. It is recommended that the educational system use this model to help university students improve their mental health, enhance their life satisfaction, and prevent mental illnesses such as depression and stress.

Authors: Ezati Rad Roghayeh , Mohseni Shokrollah , Hassani Laleh , Shahabi Nahid , Moltafet Fatemeh , Shabrava Maryam 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:
Anxiety is considered a prevalent mental disorder during childhood. Due to the significance of child psychology in critical psychological and health conditions and the fact that parenting styles may affect child health and behavioral issues in prospective life, the present study intends to explore the association of parenting styles and anxiety level among children in the COVID-19 pandemic.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The present cross-sectional study used a convenient sampling of all mothers with 5 to 12 children in Bandar Abbas in southern Iran. The target population included 346 mothers. A web-based self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The questionnaire survey consisted of three parts, demographic information, Baumrind parenting styles, and Spence children’s anxiety scale-parent. Analysis of quantitative data was done using a t-test, and association of qualitative variables was tested using the Chi-square test. Regression analysis was run on the significant values of the univariate analysis. The data were analyzed in SPSS 21.

RESULTS:
The findings revealed that the most frequent parenting style was authoritative (69.6%). The state of child anxiety in the authoritative style was kept to the minimum (24.07 ± 13.14). The highest anxiety score belonged to the permissive style (49.50 ± 37.67). Moreover, the results indicated that separation anxiety and fear of physical harm accounted for the most anxiety levels in the target research population. The four constructs of authoritative and authoritarian parenting styles, mother’s education, and father’s age accounted for 11.9% of the anxiety (P ≤ 001).

CONCLUSION:
In light of the present findings, it can be concluded that psychologists and health care providers can raise parents’ awareness of what each parenting style means and can help parents provide adequate care, love, and support for children and develop a sense of independence in them too.

Authors: Kamrani Atefeh , Iravani Mina , Abedi Parvin , Najafian Mahin , Khosravi Shahla , Alianmoghaddam Narges , Cheraghian Bahman 
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:
The Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) was designed in an effort to support health workers to perform essential tasks and improve the quality of care (QoC) for mothers and babies during childbirth. Given the fact that human experiences in any society can be influenced by cultural, economic, and social differences. Therefore, the present qualitative study aimed to investigate mothers’ perceptions and experiences of natural childbirth and QoC in childbirth management based on SCC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The current study is a qualitative study that was conducted in 2022–2023 by targeted sampling on women who gave birth based on SCC in two hospitals in Ahvaz. Eighteen women participated in the interview sessions 1 month after giving birth. The conventional content analysis method was used to analyze the data.

RESULTS:
Overall, 870 codes were extracted from the interviews. The interviewed mothers’ satisfaction with the use of SCC was organized into seven main themes, namely “Satisfaction with the comprehensive support of the companion,” “Satisfaction with the comprehensive support of the midwife,” “Satisfaction with the emotional support of the husband,” “Satisfaction with the mutual interaction between the midwife and the parturient mother,” “ Preparation for the challenges of different stages of childbirth and postpartum through training,” “ Satisfaction with the pain management strategies adopted by the companion,” “Satisfaction with skin-to-skin contact and early breastfeeding” and “ Satisfaction with the strengthened relationship between the couples and acceptance of the father’s role after the husband’s meeting with the parturient mother.”

CONCLUSION:
Implementation of SCC by providing evidence-based practice and midwifery standards to mothers and neonates can help improve women’s experiences of the birth process. By reminding midwives to encourage women to have a companion during childbirth and by giving the necessary training to them about danger signs in every stage of childbirth from admission to discharge, this checklist can not only lead to positive birth experiences but also improve the interaction of mothers with midwives. Therefore, it is recommended that this checklist be used in maternity wards.

Authors: Dharamraj Kavita , Birju-Balraj Vedwattie 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
The use of a standardized national chronic noncommunicable disease (CNCD) registry is of immense benefit in addressing the CNCD burden in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). This study seeks to assess the outcomes of a paper-based CNCD registry implemented in the primary health-care centers in South Trinidad.

Methods:
At the South-West Regional Health Authority, a standardized paper-based registry was implemented in 2017, at the 33 public primary health-care clinics. Following this, a CNCD Registry Assessment Survey was administered cross-sectionally to 94 end-users to evaluate the implementation outcomes of the registry. The outcome domains – feasibility, penetration, acceptability, sustainability, fidelity, uptake, and costs were analyzed using summary statistics.

Results:
Fifty-five percent of end-users responded. Most responses came from the primary care physicians 1 (50.0%) of County Caroni. Most respondents were from County Caroni, 19 (36.5%) and St. Patrick, 19 (36.5%). Ninety-one percent of end-users thought that the CNCD registry was easily adopted. For 85.9% of end-users, the registry had fidelity (85.9%); 84.2% thought it was well accepted; feasible (82.7%); easily penetrated (82.7%), and appropriate (76.0%). Forty-two percent thought that the cost of implementation was high, while 30.8% were neutral. Seventy-one percent thought that the paper-based CNCD registry should be sustained, and 94.2% of end-users thought that an electronic CNCD registry should be implemented.

Conclusion:
It is possible and feasible to implement a standardized paper-based registry. Through this process, we were able to define the prevalence of five CNCDs and two risk factors of overweight/obesity and smoking for the chronic disease clinic population. Subsequently, we would like to implement a digitized CNCD registry.

Published: September 2024

Nurturing creativity in Technology classrooms will, potentially, prepare learners for adaptability to the sweeping transformations that the new industrial revolutions portend and equip them to maximise the opportunities inherent in these revolutions. This study examined the effects of physical factors on the development of creativity in Grade 9 Technology classrooms. A qualitative research design was employed to purposively sample three Grade 9 Technology teachers to participate in this study. Open-ended questionnaires and non-participant observations were used as the methods of data collection for the study and the data were analysed thematically. The research findings show that creative pedagogy and the resultant development of creativity in the classroom, to a significant extent, are influenced by physical factors – class size and availability of Technology equipment. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by outlining how unfavourable physical conditions hinder the development of creativity skills in Technology classrooms, which is a core objective of the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement (CAPS) guiding Technology education in South Africa. The study outlines the importance of a conducive learning environment to the quest to enhance learners’ creativity. Furthermore, the study recommends solutions to the paucity of resources for the enhancement of creativity in the Technology classrooms.
Media Narrative of School Shooting in Russia
Authors: Tkach Sergey , Zharikova Anna V. 
Published: September 2024

School shootings, defined as acts of mass armed violence perpetrated within educational institutions, elicit significant media attention. This extensive coverage, however, raises concerns regarding its potential contribution to the “copycat effect”, where subsequent crimes are inspired by media portrayals of previous incidents. Furthermore, media narratives can significantly influence public perceptions of both the victims and the perpetrators involved. This study aims to analyze the narrative of school shooting within four key categories: victim portrayal, perpetrator description, perceived motives, and the act itself. The results reveals a dominant narrative structure that closely follows the chronological sequence of the perpetrator’s actions. This mirroring effect, likely driven by the inherent demands of streaming media formats, results in a construction of victim narratives “through the lens” of the perpetrator. Consequently, information regarding the perpetrators and their actions tends to dominate the media landscape, potentially overshadowing the experiences and perspectives of the victims. These findings carry significant implications for the development of ethical guidelines within journalism and professional standards for reporting on mass gun violence in schools. Moreover, the identified patterns in media narratives could serve as valuable input for developing mathematical models that explore the potential link between media representations of school shootings and the occurrence of copycat crimes.
