The aim of this study was to determine effect of education-based intervention on knowledge, attitude and practice of postmenopausal women concerning osteoporosis preventive behaviors. Materials and Methods: This research is randomized controlled trial. It was done on 50 postmenopausal women with aged 50-60 years from Nehbandan, South Khorasan Province, Iran, in 2016 that were selected through multistage sampling method. The samples were divided into 2 groups (Control and intervention groups) and researcher-made questionnaire was used. The data were analyzed using independent and paired t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance test and SPSS 19 software. Findings: In the intervention group, the mean scores of knowledge, attitude were significantly increased immediately after the intervention (p<0.001). The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice showed significant differences, three months after intervention (p<0.05). The increase in the scores of knowledge due to training was significantly different between the intervention and control groups. Also, there was a significant difference between the two groups three months after the training. The attitude was not significant in the control group. Comparing the two groups, the attitude score was significant (p<0.001). In the Intervention group, daily calcium intake of the subjects showed the significant difference. Conclusion: Educational intervention based on group discussion is effective in increasing the knowledge, attitudes and practice of postmenopausal women in terms of osteoporosis preventive behaviors.}, Keywords = {Educational Models, Focus Groups, Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal }, volume = {6}, Number = {4}, pages = {129-134}, publisher = {Afarand Scholarly Publishing Institute}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.29252/HEHP.6.4.129}, url = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-12995-en.html}, eprint = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-12995-en.pdf}, journal = {Health Education and Health Promotion}, issn = {2588-5715}, eissn = {2345-2897}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Vaezipour, Z. and Gharlipour, Z. and Mohebi, S. and Sharifirad, Gh.}, title = {Effect of Education on Promoting Preventive Behaviors of Oral and Dental Problems: Applying Health Belief Model}, abstract ={Aims: Oral and dental problems are among the most common diseases in the world.

Using the list of students, a total of 100 students were selected of each school. The participants were divided into two groups include the intervention and control groups, there were 50 people in each groups. Before the intervention, a standardized questionnaire based on the health belief model was distributed in both groups. Then the educational content which had been already prepared was presented to cases in five sessions via different methods. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, chi-square, paired t-test and SPSS 20 software. Findings: After the intervention, the constructs of Knowledge (p<0.001), perceived susceptibility (p=0.001), perceived severity (p=0.01), perceived barriers (p=0.02), and perceived self-efficacy (p<0.001) had significantly changed in the intervention group, as compared with the time before the intervention. Conclusion: Health belief model has an impact on student's knowledge and perception of oral health and it can be used to increase students' Knowledge and understanding in order to promote their oral and dental health.  }, Keywords = {Oral Health, Adolescent, Health, Students }, volume = {6}, Number = {4}, pages = {135-141}, publisher = {Afarand Scholarly Publishing Institute}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.29252/HEHP.6.4.135}, url = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-13448-en.html}, eprint = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-13448-en.pdf}, journal = {Health Education and Health Promotion}, issn = {2588-5715}, eissn = {2345-2897}, year = {2018} } @article{ author = {Jorvand, R. and HaeriMehrizi, A.A. and Sadeghirad, K. and Gholami, O.A. and Ansarian, Z. and Ghofranipour, F. and Tavousi, M.}, title = {Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases among Employees of Ilam University of Medical Sciences}, abstract ={Aims: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are the main causes of death and have the first place among other diseases throughout the world. Studying the situation of risk factors for CVDs seems necessary in Iran at various periods. The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among the employees of Ilam University of Medical Sciences in order to design appropriate educational interventions. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, which was conducted in 2017, 294 employees of Ilam University of Medical Sciences participated after presenting written consent forms. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed and applied after verifying the validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha greater than 0.8). Eventually, the data were analyzed, using SPSS 16 and appropriate statistical methods. Findings: Generally, 46.3% of the participants had a history of CVDs, 21.8% had a history of death caused by these diseases in their family, and 69.4% had a history of death caused by CVD among their relatives; 72.4% of the participants did not exercise daily and the mean daily exercise of participants was 8.08±1.51 minutes.

We referred to the Qur’an, its interpretations, and hadith books to consider the Islamic issues related to the different aspects of health. In this regard, the examples were presented in the form of verses and traditions. The Holy Qur’an has reminded us to endeavor in improving our physical health. Many of the verses in the Holy Qur’an such as Ala'raf/31 and 157, Al Maedah/1 and 96, Al-Nahl/14, 68, and 69, Al-Abas/24, and Al-kahf/19 have manifested the “physical health” as the key word in this field. Also, Holy prophet has endorsed the importance of keeping in progress the health of every individual in the society. The aim of this review was to express the importance of physical health and its promotion from the point of view of Islamic teachings, Qur'an, and tradition (Hadith). Conclusion: When there was no new science and people were in a dreadful darkness of knowledge, Islam established health foundations. Allah has bestowed health to His servants, who should keep it through their life. There are many principles for humans to keep their health such as decline in eating too much food, providing food through law-abiding channels of Islam, taking advantage of fruits, taking bath per day, brushing the teeth, etc. If we follow the recommendations of Islam, we will not get sick and there will be no need to tolerate painful treatment.}, Keywords = {Islam, Physical Health, Health Promotion }, volume = {6}, Number = {4}, pages = {155-159}, publisher = {Afarand Scholarly Publishing Institute}, title_fa = {}, abstract_fa ={}, keywords_fa = {}, doi = {10.29252/HEHP.6.4.155}, url = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-15308-en.html}, eprint = {http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/article-5-15308-en.pdf}, journal = {Health Education and Health Promotion}, issn = {2588-5715}, eissn = {2345-2897}, year = {2018} }
