Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common hematological disease and like other chronic diseases affects different aspects of quality of life of patients and their mothers as their primary caregiver. The present study has been done in order to investigate the effect of (FCEM) on quality of life of mothers having teenagers with iron deficiency anemia in Tehran, 2013. Method: This semi-experimental research was conducted after choosing 60 mothers of female teenager' with iron deficiency anemia and dividing them into two case and control groups through purposive sampling. The research tools included demographic as well as, WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaires. FCEM was implemented in the case group and the post test was carried out 1.5 month after the end of the intervention. Results: Before intervention the means of the quality of life in the case group and the control group were 54.63±6.89 and 54.50±7.66 respectively. Independent t-test showed no significant difference in the quality of life in mothers of adolescent girls between the two groups (P=0.94) whereas, after the intervention the means of the quality of life in the case group and control groups were 60.13±4.20 and 54.46±7.09 respectively. Independent t-test showed a significant difference between the two groups in the mean of the quality of life (P>0.001). In addition, paired t-test showed a significant difference before and after the intervention in the case group in the mean of the quality of life (P>0.001). While, this difference was not significant in the control group (P=0.851). Conclusion: Findings showed that the FCEM was effective in increasing the quality of life of mothers, having adolescent with iron deficiency anemia. It is recommended that further studies be performed on the effectiveness of this model on other chronic diseases.

Introduction: Currently, medical advances ensure life-expectancy of chronic patients such as thalassemia. Improvement in the quality of life of these patients requires that medical treatment be combined with psychosocial support. The present study aimed at investigating the effect of self-management empowerment model on the quality of life in adolescents and youth with major thalassemia. Method: This was randomized clinical trial in two groups. 70 Eligible adolescents and youths with major thalassemia were selected through census in Bushehr and Borazjan thalassemia center. Samples were allocated to case and control groups. Data collection tool was quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). Intervention was performed in three stages. post-test was performed 1.5 months after pre-test in control group and 1.5 months after intervention in case group. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 18 and chi-square, independent t-test, and mann-witney (P<0.05). Results: There was no statistically significant difference in terms of demographic data between the two groups (P>0.05). As a result, mean difference of eight dimensions of SF-36 quality of life were statistically significant between case and control groups before and after the intervention (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Education based on self-management empowerment model has a great impact on the quality of life in adolescents and youth with major thalassemia.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common types of anemia in the world, especially in developing countries. 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.
Conclusion: 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: Sexual identity is a large part of each individual's identity. Since various factors contribute to the formation of sexual identity, individuals use different sources to create a sexual identity and teach girls and boys gender behaviour. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare incompatible schemas and cyberspace on inconsistent sexual identity in adolescents and youth.
Methods: The study's statistical population included all the youth and adolescents of Shiraz (Iran) in 2024, of which 60 (30 with sexual identity, 30 with heterogeneous sexual identity). Available in the study. Research measurement tools were Yang Form Schema Questionnaires (1994), Sexual Identity / Gender Identity Dagrassias (2007) and Virtual World Lee et al. (2005). The information from the questionnaires was analysed using SPSS-23 software and examined the research hypotheses by the multiplier variance analysis test.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between maladaptive schemas and the use of cyberspace in two groups of sexual identity in adolescents and young people (p<0.001). Also, there was no significant difference between the autonomy scheme and the impaired performance of the two groups (p<0.118).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is suggested that in centres such as psychology clinics or counselling centres, training programs for informing and gaining insights into the unnecessary sexual identity that may be false and superficial due to the influence of individual schema or space. To be virtual, not to regret the sex change in the person. Also, training skills such as social relationships, self -knowledge, and how to use cyberspace for adolescents, young people and parents.

Introduction: self-injury or self-poisoning among adolescents, irrespective of the reasons behind it, is viewed as self-harm. The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy on impulsivity and resilience in adolescents demonstrating self-harm behaviors in Iranshahr City. Being aware of self-harming actions during adolescence can aid in avoiding enduring or irreversible effects related to them. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test-post-test framework alongside a control group. The statistical population comprised secondary school students in the second term in Iranshahr city in 2024. Thirty students were chosen non-randomly and subsequently assigned at random to intervention and control groups (15 students per group). The intervention group underwent acceptance and commitment therapy, administered in 8 sessions lasting 90 minutes each, in accordance with Hayes et al.'s protocol. The questionnaires utilized in this research comprised Klonsky and Glenn's (2003) Self-Injurious Behaviors Questionnaire, Barrett's Impulsivity Scale (2004), and Connor and Davidson's (2003) Resilience Questionnaire. The analysis of the data was conducted using SPSS26 software and a multivariate analysis of covariance test.
Results: The findings from the covariance analysis of the data indicated that the acceptance and commitment group therapy intervention diminished impulsivity (F=5.49, P≤.002) and enhanced resilience (F=95.0089, P≤.001) in adolescents when compared to the control group.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that acceptance and commitment therapy effectively reduced impulsivity and enhanced resilience in adolescents who exhibit self-harm behaviors, thus recommending this method for students engaging in self-harm.
