Objective: Self-care is very important in controlling type 2 diabetes and the present study aimed to develop and validate a type 2 diabetes self-care questionnaire. Method: The present study was a series of consecutive exploratory experiments guided by the approach of testing and classification and was conducted qualitatively and quantitatively in two stages. The statistical population in the first stage consisted of specialists, physicians and researchers in the field of type 2 diabetes in 2020-2021 that 10 persons were selected by purposive sampling. In the second stage, 432 patients with type 2 diabetes in Tehran in 2020-2021 were selected by available sampling method and considering criteria. In order to collect the information of the first stage, an in-depth and semi-structured interview and a researcher-made initial questionnaire were used. Findings: It showed that from the results of the interviews, 41 concepts were extracted by open coding in 4 main dimensions. Content validity ratio index and content validity index were calculated and 4 factors were identified in the exploratory factor analysis. Finally, this 34-item questionnaire explained 58.76% of the variance of type 2 diabetes self-care in patients aged 30 to 60 years: factors related to health literacy (39.64%), psychological factors (11.82%), physical factors (4.19%) And factors related to access to facilities (3.11%). Also, the first-order confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the above 4 factors and a total alpha of 0.95 was obtained. Conclusion: This questionnaire has good validity and reliability and its use is recommended for self-care monitoring of these patients and use in research.

Objective: Treatment with hemodialysishas extensive and comprehensive effects on patients. The purpose of this study was to predict post-traumatic growth based on coping styles. Method: This was a descriptive- correlational study. To this purpose, among all patients referring to dialysis centers in karaj in 2018, 219 individuals were selectet by Convenient sampeling method and they answered to Coping Scale of Stress Situation (CSSS) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Data were analyzed using descriptive indexesand Multiple regression analysis by SPSS 25 software. Findings: The results showed thatjust problem focus coping style (t = 5.97, p <0.001) has a significant role in predicting of post traumatic growth and emotional and avoiding style do not have a significant role in explaining post-traumatic growth. The standardized beta coefficient shows that the problem focus style 0/446 has contributed to the prediction of post-traumatic growth. Conclusion: Patients who use problem focus coping style more control over stressful situations and with Higher probability achieve to post-traumatic growth.

Data were collected using Psychological distressquestionnaire (DASS)and fear of disease progression and analysis was done by SPSS-22 software. Descriptive and inferential statistics and repeated measures ANOVAand Bonferroni post hoc test were used.

Introduction: The aim of this study is the comparison of biofeedback and Kegel treatment methods on quality of life enhancement in women with urine incontinency. Methods: In a quasi experimental study,45 women with urge urine inconstancy who referred to Atieh neuroscience center from October to February 2015 were selected with randomized sampling and were assigned in two groups of control and experiment. Patients in biofeedback group received 40 minutes electromyography biofeedback during five sessions and per twice a week. In Kegel group, patients performed the Kegel experiments 30 minutes during 8 weeks per twice a week. Patients were appraised the quality of life questionnaire before and after the treatment. Finally the data were analyzed with ANCOVA method. Results: Biofeedback induced a significant change in quality of life of women with urinary incontinency (p
