RESUMEN
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to compare the emotion regulation strategies of blind and sighted students
Methods: The research method used was descriptive and causal-comparative, and the statistical population included all the sighted and blind students at the University of Isfahan and the Islamic Azad University of Khorasgan
The sample volume was 64 members [32 members in each group]
Sampling was conducted using the availability sampling method for the first group and the simple random sampling method for the second group
Data was gathered and measured with the help of the Emotion Regulation Scale by O.P. John and JJ. Gross, and analyzed using SPSS 21 and the ANOVA test
Results: The results indicated a significant difference between two groups with regard to applied emotion regulation strategies [P<0.05]; Blind students applied both strategies [cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression] less. The effect of gender, interaction between gender and vision status was also not significant with respect to emotion regulation [PXX05]
Discussion: Emotion regulation is a possible influential factor in many problems that blind people suffer from, more than sighted ones, and using interventions that target emotion regulation strategies would be useful
RESUMEN
Background and Aims: prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, that is increasing in incidence and mortality. Considering the epidemiologic trend of prostate cancer, the aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of prostate cancer in the years 2005-2010 in Markazi Province
Methods: in this analytical study, which data was derived from the Cancer Registry of Markazi Province, crude incidence per 100 thousand persons and age-standardized incidence in the method of direct standardization using the world standard population were calculated. Data Analysis was conducted using the Cochran-Armitage and winpepi software version 2.1
Results: in this study among 182 patients with prostate cancer in 2005-2010, 144 patients [%79] inhabited in city and others in rural. Regarding age, 16 persons [%8.8] were between 50-60 and majority 84[%46] were 70-80 years old. In the 6- year study, 182 cases of prostate cancer were recorded. Age-standardized incidence rate during the years 2005 to 2010 was respectively: 3.24, 3, 3.44, 5.05, 5.75, and 5.61 cases per hundred thousand people which show an increase in the disease. The highest observed incidence in the age group was above 70
Conclusion: the standardized incidence rate of prostate cancer in Markazi province in comparison with the world, particularly developed countries, is much less that can be due to lack of screening programs or the incomplete records
