Pain is a natural feeling, perception, emotion, and reflection of all human beings and often comes along with mental and health problems which is experienced physically (pain, disease, injury and consequently death) and mentally (sorrow, fear and despair). This study aims to investigate the role of positive affection on predicting the aspects of pain perception in patients with MS. Forty three patients were selected by sampling from the hospitals affiliated with Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, who have filled in the questionnaire about the positive affection and pain perception. The data were analyzed using the correlation and Regression methods. The regression results showed that the positive affection is a significant predictor of pain perception (0.27).Thus, it is inferred that the positive affection has effects on pain perception of MS patients. Participating in group counseling sessions, and cultural ans sport activities that improve the positive affections may have significant role in alleviating pain MS patients

Abstract The present study has been conducted with the purpose of exploring linguistic plays in increasing reading skill among retarded students. The kind of the study is quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test, being conducted among all retarded students studying in second grade of elementary schools at Mashhad. The sample included 30 subjects, randomly selected and assigned as experimental and control. Then the experimental group received 20 sessions of linguistic plays. In data collection we used two standard tests, namely Raven children test for homogenous subjects, and phonemic knowledge test, and also two researcher-made tests of reading speed and comprehension with appropriate validity and reliability. In data analysis, in descriptive level, we used indicators of central tendency, dispersion index, frequency distribution table, diagram and etc. and in inferential level, in addition to examining the normality of data and investigating test hypotheses we used covariance analysis and t-test. The findings show that: 1. Phonemic skill score of retarded students receiving intervention (linguistic plays), has been higher compared to control group (p<0.001) 2. No difference has been found regarding reading speed score among both groups. (p<0.102). 3. Reading comprehension score of experimental group has been higher than control group (p<0.001). Therefore, the results indicate that this educational method has been appropriate and can increase retarded students' reading skill.

Data was collected and analyzed by SPSS software. The mean age of subjects was 05/1±7/52. Approximately 4/50% had limited and others had marginal health literacy skills. The findings of this study showed a significantly correlation between inadequate health literacy and the poorest ratings to communication were observed(P<001/0). Low health literacy is more prevalent in patients (%4/50). Patients with inadequate health literacy experienced lower quality and clarity of health center communication along multiple domains. Explanation of patients’ problems was, explanation of care processes, inadequate attention to people talking, fast talking ,lack of response to concerns, inadequate usage of visual media ,feedback, and poor opportunity to ask questions. More attention to assess health literacy and use effective health communication is warranted in the health center .

Abstract: Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders have been devoted high percentage of occupational injuries and it is one of the leading causes of absence from work and disability. In this study we aimed to determine prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and their risk factors and to evaluate exposure of musculoskeletal disorders risk factors by Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) Technique in a porclean manufacturing factory in south Khorasan province. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 selected female workers from the decoration unit of the porclean manufacturing factory. Data were collected using demographical and Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire (NMQ) and RULA form. Statistical analyses were performed by chi-square and t tests and using SPSS, version 16. The level of significance was set at <5%. Results: The mean of age and job tenure in subjects were 28.6±14.09 and 2.53±1.63 years, respectively. Prevalence rate of MSDs was 81.0%. 38.0% of individuals were at risk level 2 and also 62.0% at risk level 3 of RULA. Conclusion: Despite that means of age and job tenure were low, but prevalence of MSDs was high among workers. Assessment of MSDs and RULA risk level relationship indicated that MSDs risk level in exposed subjects were higher than non-exposed individuals.
