Methods & Materials: In this descriptive study, 400 women attending to the health care centers in south Tehran in order to discontinue their IUDs were selected randomly. Data were gathered using questionnaires and analyzed using statistical tests such as chi-square and T-test.
Results: The mean IUD duration usage was 29.5±27.88 months. The main complication was bleeding that was reported by 44% of the clients. Infection 36.5% spotting 20.5% pain 12.3% and explosion 11.3% were the other causes of discontinuation, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the discontinuation and complications (P<0.001), husbands&apos education level (P=0.01), and usage duration (P=0.04).
Conclusion: The study showed that the most common reason for IUD removal was its side effects. It seems considering appropriate policies could decrease the complications and increase the usage duration.

The 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Death Anxiety Scale were used to gather the data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression by Enter method. The level of significance was considered P<0.05.
Results: The mean (and standard deviation) scores for the quality of life, depression and death anxiety among the studied elderly were respectively 33.22±7.81, 4.92±3.82 and 33.63±7.40. There was a significant relationship between depression and the quality of life (P<0.0001) but there was no significant relationship between the quality of life and death anxiety.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Infantile colic is a stressful tension for the baby and parents, whose cause and certain treatment are still unknown. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effect of massage and probiotic consumption on infantile colic.
Methods & Materials: This clinical trial was conducted in Tehran’s Children Medical Center in 2020-2021, and 75 colicky infants were included in the study based on ROM IV criteria and assigned into two groups of massage and probiotics. A total of 64 infants (34 in the massage group) and 30 in the probiotics group) completed the study. The duration of the intervention was 14 days. The first group received abdominal massage with olive oil twice a day, and the second group received probiotic drops, five drops a day. The study tool was the Barr Child Daily Measurement Scale. The information related to colic measurement, including the average time of colic crying, sleep, and frequency of defecation was analyzed within and between groups on days 1, 7, and 14.
Results: Abdominal massage and probiotic consumption both reduced infantile colic (P<0.05), but the massage group had more reduction than the probiotics group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering that the massage method was more effective in controlling colic, using massage is recommended for the care of infants with colic, which is a non-drug, safe and simple method and can be easily taught to parents by nurses.

Abstract
Background & Aim: In women experiencing intimate partner violence, resilience can serve as a protective factor against the worsening of psychological problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has emerged as a potential means to enhance resilience in these individuals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on the resilience of women experiencing spousal abuse.
Methods & Materials: This is a quasi-experimental study. A total of 80 women experiencing spousal abuse were selected through quota sampling from the women referring to the health houses affiliated to the Mashhad ol-Kube health center in Arak, Iran between 2020 and 2021. The participants were then divided into intervention and control groups using the block randomization method. The intervention group received the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in eight sessions, lasting 90 minutes each, once a week. The data collection tools included a questionnaire on personal and health characteristics, the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale, and the Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale. The Resilience Scale was completed by both groups one week and five weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed through the SPSS software version 23 using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and two-way repeated measures ANOVA. A significance level of P<0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of the resilience score for the intervention group increased from 59.21±13.29 before the intervention to 64.31±11.27 and 72.34±10.49 in the post-test and follow-up periods. For the control group, these figures were 52.47±17.2, 51.94±14.72, and 52.47±15.3, respectively. Based on the results of the two-way repeated measures ANOVA, there was a statistically significant difference in the mean score of resilience between the intervention and control groups at the three time points examined (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The implementation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can significantly improve the resilience of women experiencing spousal abuse. This intervention holds great potential for being incorporated into mental health improvement programs specifically designed for women who have experienced spousal abuse.
