RESUMO
Background: Hepatitis B is the most common occupational disease in health care providers. It can be followed by several complications. The aim of this study was to determine the cognitive determinants of hepatitis B [HB] vaccination Acceptability among nurses based on the Health Belief Model [HBM]
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 nurses in educational hospitals of Kermanshah city, during 2016. Samples were randomly selected with the proportional to size among different educational hospitals in Kermanshah. A structured questionnaire was applied for collecting data and data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 by using bivariate correlations and logistic regression statistical tests
Results: The mean age of the respondents was 30.5 years [SD: 6.62]. About, 58.5% of the participants reported to have completed [three times] vaccination of HB. Female nurses were more likely to be fully vaccinated against HB than male nurses, with adjusted odds ratio estimate of 2.507 [95% CI: 1.523-4.125] and those who had family or friends with a history of HB with odds ratio estimate of 3.706 [95% CI: 1.317-10.425], making these the most influential predictive determinants for full uptake [three time] of HB vaccination. Among the HBM variables: perceived threat with odds ratio estimate of 1.264 [95% CI: 1.160-1.376], perceived self-efficacy with odds ratio estimate of 1.179 [95% CI: 1.020-1.363], and cues to action with odds ratio estimate of 1.335 [95% CI: 1.015-1.756], were the more influential predictors of full uptake [three time] of HB vaccination
Conclusion: To development uptake vaccination programs promotion in addition to focusing on male nurses, using the results of the predictive constructs include; perceived threat perceived self-efficacy suggested. Based on our result, it seems that development and implementation of health promotion programs to increase threat about side effect of HB and self-efficacy regarding HB vaccination uptake may be usefulness of the findings to promotion of vaccination of HB
RESUMO
Background: One of the basic needs of behavioral scientists is access to standard questionnaires. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric of a theory based questionnaire about colorectal cancer screening with uptake of fecal occult blood test based on health belief model
Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytic-psychometric study was carried out among 150 individuals aged over 50 years in Kermanshah, western Iran, in winter 2016. The participants were selected by using simple random sampling allocation method in proportional to size among households aged over 50 years covered by Kermanshah health centers. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20
Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin [KMO] was calculated as 0.778. Three constructs of the five constructs of the health belief model including perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived severity accounted to 73.27% of the variance of the hypothesized model. The reliability of the questionnaire by measuring Cronbach's alpha for constructs; perceived sensitivity, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy were 0.72, 0.78, 0.87, 0.81, and 0.70, respectively
Conclusion: The questionnaire had the obligatory validity and reliability to measure cognition related to about uptake of fecal occult blood test based on health belief model

RESUMO
One of the most important factors affecting relapse of addiction is craving beliefs of substance use. The goal of the present study was assessment of the effectiveness of coping skills education program to reduce craving beliefs among opium addicts. In a randomized controlled trial, during September 2011 to August 2012, 70 opium addicted men referred to the Behavioral Disorders and Substance Abuse Research Center in Hamadan, western Iran were assigned to intervention group [receiving coping skills education program] and control groups. The study information was analyzed using SPSS software. Regarding craving beliefs for continuing drug use, the two groups had similar scales at the beginning of interventional program, while the level of these beliefs was significantly reduced in the intervention group [P = 0.002], but not in the control group [P = 0.105]. Also, a significant correlation was also revealed between taking advantage of the educational program and increase awareness of the signs of relapse in the intervention group [P = 0.003] that was not revealed in the control [P = 0.174]. On the other hand, executing coping skills education program led to reduce craving beliefs and improve knowledge towards signs of relapse. Our findings demonstrate positive impact of coping skills education program after detoxification process on decrease of craving beliefs among opium addicts

A structured questionnaire was applied for collecting data, which were analyzed by SPSS version 16 using bivariate correlations and logistic regression statistical tests. 35.4% of the participants had self-medication. Pain medication [10.6%], antibiotics [7.3%] and anti-cough and cold medications [4.5%] had the largest consumption. The main reasons of self-medication among participants were previous use of medication, symptoms improve and similar prescribed. The best predictor for self-medication was perceived severity with odds ratio estimate of 0.790 [95% CI: 0.694, 0.900].

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the world and the most common cancer in developing countries. Pap smear is and effective tool that can prevent death due to cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the factors related to doing regular Pap-smear test based on the theory of planned behavior. In this cross-sectional study, conducted in Hamadan County, the west of Iran, during 2009, a total of 400 women's aged 20 to 70 years old, were randomly selected to participate voluntarily in the study. Participants filled out a self-administered questionnaire including the expanded theory of planned behavior components. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 13 using chi-square, t-test, and logistic regression statistical tests at 95% significant level. Almost 63.8% of the participants had already done Pap-smear test at least once. About 28.3% of volunteers had followed a regular Pap-smear program. There was a significant correlation [P<0.002] between family history of cervical cancer and undergoing regular Pap-smear test. In addition, there was a significant correlation [P<0.001] between age and undergoing regular Pap-smear test. The best predictor for regular Pap-smear testing was subjective norms with odds ratio estimate of 1.14 [95% CI: 1.04, 1.23]. Based on our findings, subjective norms may be one of the most effective factors among women for doing regular Pap-smear test
