Abstract
Aims: Complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most important impediment resulted from uncontrolled blood sugar. The patients should be educated on controlling their blood sugar and promoting their preventive behaviors, in order to reduce complications. The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of the BASNEF Model-based educational programs on Blood sugar Control (Diabetes Type 2), in Nader Kazemi Clinic, Shiraz-Iran.rnMethods and Materials: This is a perspective and quasi-experimental intervention study, the research population is type 2 diabetics of 40-65 years diagnosed over 5 years. 100 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria participated in the study. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments for data collection were: a questionnaire established based on the BASNEF Model (Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm and Enabling Factors), a self reporting checklist related to the patient practice and a checklist for recording the patients' HbA1c and Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) levels. Content validity method was used to evaluate the questionnaire's scientific validity. The questionnaires were completed by 20 type 2 diabetics to measure reliability (other than those who participated in the study). The faulty ones were removed and the results checked with %95 reliability (Cronbach's ά Coefficient was 84%).rnBoth groups completed the questionnaires and checklists; the results were documented before and three months after intervention.rnThe patients of the experimental group participated in 6- session educational classes in the first month of intervention and once more two months after, with 2-session meeting classes as the intervention follow up. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software, chi square-test, T-test for independent samples, matched T-test, and repeated measures ANOVA.rnFindings: concerning the mean scores of age, T-test for independent samples showed no significant difference between the experimental group (SD=7.52, Mean=54.40) and control group (SD=6.72, Mean=54.24).rnThe findings indicated that the mean scores of BASNEF Model variables were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group, after intervention. Also, behavioral control of blood sugar, HbA1c rate (8.65% before intervention and 7.47% after three months) and FBS levels (207.08 before intervention and 124.2 after three months) improved significantly among the experimental group, compared to control group.rnConclusions: Applying the BASNEF Model is very effective in developing an educational program for diabetics, in order to control their blood sugar and enhance behavioral controlling blood sugar. Besides, follow up education on controlling and monitoring is highly recommended.

Abstract
Background: Osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone diseases. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a walking education program based on the health belief model (HBM) on osteoporosis among women. Material and Methods: In this quasi-experimental research design, 120 patients (60 experimental and 60 control),who were registered with the health centers in Fasa City of Fars Province, Iran, participated in the study in 2014. A questionnaire consisting of demographic information and HBM constructs was used at pre-intervention, immediately after their intervention, and then six months later. Bone mineral density (BMD) was recorded at the lumbar spine and femur prior to and six months post-intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS19' through 'chi-square test, independent t-test, repeated measure ANOVA at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Immediately and six months after the intervention, the experimental group showed increased in knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers perceived, self-efficacy, perceived internal cues to action and walking performance compared to the control group. Six months after the intervention, the value of lumbar spine BMD T-Score in the experimental group increased to 0.127, while in the control group it decreased to -0.043. The value of the hip BMD T Score in the intervention group increased to 0.125 and in contrast, it decreased to-0.028 in the control group. Conclusions: This study showed the increased knowledge and walking behavior regarding walking benefits could improve bone density. Therefore, HBM model can be a basic framework for designing and 'carrying out' educational interventions for women’s osteoporosis.

Abstract
When evaluating and criticizing the Persian translations of the noble Qur’ān, we cannot rely merely on the meanings of the words and sentences; rather, we need to adopt translation models and theories to examine and criticize the existing Persian translations of the Qur’ān and find the one that is closest to the original text. One of the methods that can be used as a useful framework for the evaluation of the quality of the translations of the noble Qur’ān is Garces’ theory that provides a model for the criticism of literary texts. When addressing translations, this theory does not merely attend to the meanings of the words and sentences; rather, it takes into account four levels. The article at hand evaluates and criticizes the translations of the Kingdom chapter by Anṣāriyān and Ṭāhirī based on Garces’ evaluation model in four levels (i.e., semantical-lexical, syntactical-morphological, discursive-functional, and stylistic-pragmatic). The most important finding of this descriptive-analytical study is that the translations of the noble Qur’ān by Anṣāriyān and Ṭāhirī could be criticized and evaluated based on the indices of Garces’ theory. Anṣāriyān’s translation is found to have numerous instances of lexical expansion, while Ṭāhirī’s translation is shown to entail numerous cases for modification, deletion, and reduction subgroup. This makes the positive indices of Anṣāriyān’s translation more significant than those of Ṭāhirī’s work from the viewpoint of Garces’ framework. Moreover, it seems that Anṣāriyān’s translation is more of a target-language–oriented and audience-oriented translation due to the great volume of data it has in the indices related to the target language domain.

Abstract
Aims: Breakfast as the most important course meal is often neglected by children and adolescents. The present study aimed to determine the effect of the educational program based on the theory of planned behavior on breakfast consumption among the high school students of Fasa.
Materials & Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study consisting of 120 students selected by the simple random sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire including the demographic questions and the constructs of the theories of planned behavior theory that were completed self-reportedly before and three months after the educational intervention by the intervention and control groups. The intervention group received 10 educational sessions based on the constructs of the theory of planned behavior. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software version 22 and using chi-square, independent t-test, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon tests.
Findings: Mean scores of attitudes (46.92±6.26), intention (11.24±2.53), perceived behavioral control (22.50±4.25), subjective norms (40.84±7.12) in the experimental group significantly increased after the education compared to the control group. The mean area of attitude after the intervention showed a more significant increase compared to other areas.
Conclusion: The results showed the effect of the educational program based on the theory of planned behavior on the constructs of attitude, behavior, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and behavioral intention related to increased breakfast consumption among the first-grade high school students. Therefore, considering the appropriate context of education in schools, the low cost, and effectiveness of educational interventions, theory-based design, and implementation of educational interventions based on the mentioned structures can be suggested to increase breakfast consumption.

Abstract
Aims: Given the importance of lifestyle modification on hypertension control, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of lifestyle training intervention on blood pressure and body mass index in patients with hypertension in Darab, Iran.
Materials & Methods: The present randomized controlled intervention study was conducted on 80 middle-aged women with hypertension referred to health houses of Darab in 2018. The cluster sampling was performed, and participants were assigned to experimental and control groups by a simple random method (40 participants in each of the experimental and control groups). The participants' lifestyle, BMI, and blood pressure were measured before and two months after the intervention and were analyzed by SPSS 20 using the paired t-test, independent t-test, and chi-square test.
Findings: No significant differences were seen between experimental and control groups before the intervention in terms of health-promoting components (p>0.05), Systolic (p=0.73), and Diastolic blood pressure (p=0.22), and BMI (p=0.43). In contrast, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups after intervention in terms of health-promoting components, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p<0.05). No significant difference was seen in terms of body mass index (p=0.52).
Conclusion: Lifestyle modification effectively reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the short term, independent of its impact on BMI.
