ABSTRACT
Domestic violence (DV) against women in Iran is a hidden societal issue. In addition to its chronic physical, mental, industrial, and economic effects on women, children, and families, DV prevents victims from receiving mental health care. On the other hand, DV campaigns on social media have encouraged victims and society to share their stories of abuse. As a result, massive amount of data has been generated about this violence, which can be used for analysis and early detection. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze and classify Persian textual content pertinent to DV against women in social media. It also aimed to use machine learning to predict the risk of this content. After collecting 53,105 tweets and captions in the Persian language from Twitter and Instagram, between April 2020 and April 2021, 1611 tweets and captions were chosen at random and categorized using criteria compiled and approved by an expert in the field of DV. Then, using machine learning algorithms, modeling and evaluation processes were performed on the tagged data. The Naïve Base model, with an accuracy of 86.77% was the most accurate model among all machine learning models for predicting critical Persian content pertinent to domestic violence on social media. The obtained findings indicate that using a machine learning approach, the risk of Persian content related to DV in social media against women can be predicted.
ABSTRACT
Background: Given the high prevalence of depressive disorders in the present world and the lack of adequate awareness about prevention and appropriate interventions, increasing mental health literacy is vital for promoting mental health to reduce depression and its consequences. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, participants were recruited among the second high school students in the 2018-2019 academic year. The sample size was 2038, and samples were selected by multistage cluster sampling from different areas of Tehran. Demographic variables like age, gender, level of education, and parents' characteristics and mental health literacy questions in treatment and prevention areas were evaluated. Results: Analyses showed that of high school students, 83% considered getting help from psychiatrists and 80% considered learning stress management as the best preventive measures, while as the best treatment measures, 79.5% considered counseling the best place to refer for visiting a professional and 45% selected general counseling centers. Conclusion: The study results showed that high school students have a positive attitude toward preventing and treating depressive disorders, getting help from specialists, and useful measures for depressed people. But they did not know enough about preventive measures, including learning effective coping skills, reading self-help books, and continuing to take psychiatric medications. Planning and providing the necessary training are important, especially for high school students.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that a return to spirituality is a major coping response in cancer patients so that therapists can adopt a holistic approach by addressing spirituality in their patient care. The present study was conducted to develop a guideline in the spiritual field for healthcare providers who serve cancer patients in Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Relevant statements were extracted from scientific documents that through study questions were reviewed and modified by a consensus panel. RESULTS: The statements were arranged in six areas, including spiritual needs assessment, spiritual care candidates, the main components of spiritual care, spiritual care providers, the settings of spiritual care and the resources and facilities for spiritual care. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to the development and preparation of these guidelines, health policy-makers should also seek to motivate and train health service providers to offer these services and facilitate their provision and help with widespread implementation.
