Mortality Rate and Years of Life Lost Due to Premature Death From Respiratory Diseases: A Five-year Trend (2014-2018)
Background: Chronic respiratory diseases impose a significant socioeconomic burden on individuals and communities and are severely overlooked compared to other non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the mortality rate and years of life lost due to respiratory diseases in northern Iran.
Methods: The documentary research method was used and data were collected using the census. The population included all deaths registered in the Department of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences in Iran during 2014-2018.
Results: Between 2014 and 2018, 2462 deaths due to respiratory diseases were recorded in Golestan Province, of which 1416 people (57.5%) were men and 1046 people (42.5%) were women. The Mean±SD age of death was 62.28±26.29 years, with an Mean±SD of 62.56±25.32 years for men and 61.90±27.56 years for women. The highest number of deaths due to respiratory diseases in all the studied years was in men and women aged 80 years and above (28.7% and 31.1%, respectively). Approximately, 6864 years of life were lost due to premature death during this period, with men (3511 years, 7.2 per 1,000) contributing more than women (3353 years, 7.2 per 1,000).
Conclusion: Given the rapid increase in population and given that the crucial risk factors for respiratory diseases are smoking, exposure to pollutants, and allergens, more comprehensive research seems necessary throughout Iran. In addition, this study was designed before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to changes that this pandemic has caused in the mortality rate, therefore, it is recommended to investigate the trend of mortality by respiratory diseases during this pandemic.

Considering the diversity in cultural specifications of entities in different societies, the current study aimed-assess the inequality of poor MH and corresponding socio-demographic components in a general population.
Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Gonabad City, North Eastern Iran. Data were collected by a general health questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) assess MH status, considering a cut-off point of 23. The concentration index defines the inequality in the MH. Decomposition analysis was done-identify the contribution of each explanatory variable-the socioeconomic inequality in MH prevalence.
Results: Eight hundred subjects were recruited (response rate=98%); approximately 41.6% were aged 30 years or younger, half of whom were females. The overall prevalence of poor MH was 24.7% (95% CI: 21.8-27.9%) and the age-adjusted prevalence of poor MH was 27.5% (95% CI: 24.2-31.2%). A concentration of poor MH prevalence was observed among the poorest people (concentration index: -0.15). Socioeconomic Status (SES) (59.7%), age (24.1%), and gender (4.7%) were identified as the main contributors-socioeconomic-related inequality in poor MH prevalence.
Conclusion: Poor MH is significantly concentrated among the poorest people. Therefore, SES appeared-play a key role in improving the health of individuals, which can lead-improved health status in a community. Furthermore, these data suggest that the MH initiative should target the elderly and women via a recently determined family physician plan in Iran.

The significance level was 5%. Data were examined using statistical SPSS software, version 21.
Results: The results showed a significant statistical relationship between socio-economic status and women’s reproductive health (P<0.001). Women with higher socio-economic status had fewer reproductive health issues, such as infertility (P<0.001), and tubectomy (P=0.004), abortion (P<0.001), stillbirth (P<0.001), atypical menopause (P<0.001) and hysterectomy (P=0.021).
Conclusion: The findings showed a significant inequality in reproductive health status among women who were at different socio-economic levels. Policymakers should consider these results-promote women’s reproductive health.

The Effect of a Family-centered Program to Manage Domestic Roles on Marital Satisfaction in Female Nurses
Background: Marital satisfaction is vital for the continuation of married life, and one of the factors negatively affecting this satisfaction is women’s employment in stressful positions, especially in families where the division of domestic tasks is traditionally based on gender. This study was conducted to determine the effect of a family-centered program to manage domestic roles on marital satisfaction in female nurses.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a two-month follow-up. The study population consisted of married female nurses working in two hospitals in Zabol City, Iran. Based on the determined sample size, this study was conducted on 50 female nurses and their husbands, who were randomly divided into the trial (25 couples) and control (25 couples) groups. Data were collected using Carlson’s work-family conflict scale (WFCS) and the enrich marital satisfaction questionnaire (1998). The trial group received a family-centered educational-supportive program to empower them in performing domestic roles and was compared to the control group after a two-month follow-up. Data were analyzed in SPSS software version 20 using the chi-square and independent tests for parametric data and Mann-Whitney’s U test for nonparametric data, at the significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The mean score of marital satisfaction was significantly higher in the trial group compared to the control group after the intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The educational-supportive program for family management based on family-centered care decreased work-family conflict (WFC) in female nurses and led to improvements in marital satisfaction.

Methods: This research population consisted of all Iranian men and women in the age range of 18 to 65 years living in Iran in the summer of 2021. The statistical sample consisted of 299 female (n=225) and male (n=74) Iranian athletes (of team and individual disciplines) and non-athletes selected through a snowball sampling method by sharing the questionnaire on social media networks. This questionnaire includes eight factors: Life satisfaction, mental wellbeing, social participation, mood and feeling, technology use, diet behavior, physical activity, and sleep quality. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient and split-half coefficient were used to assess reliability. Concurrent validity was also measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS version 23 and AMOS version 22 softwares.
Results: The obtained results showed that all factors of the questionnaire have factorial loading or high correlation with the whole MLSB questionnaire (P<0.001). The correlation between the scores of the questionnaire dimensions ranged from 0.12 to 0.678 (P<0.001) and showed suitable validity. The obtained reliabilities in all dimensions in the questionnaire were over 0.7 and desirable.
Conclusion: In the present study, the psychometric properties of the MLSB questionnaire were assessed for healthy athlete and non-athlete adults, providing desirable reliability and validity. The researchers are suggested to use the Persian version of this questionnaire in the future research and also assess the psychometric properties of the questionnaire for adolescents, people with special diseases, Fields and different skill/sport levels and sport experiences.
