Abstract
Background: The American Diabetes Association in 1997 switched its recommendations regarding the screening of pregnant women from universal to risk factor-based screening. The ADA specifically recommended that screening is not cost-beneficial in women under the age of 25, with a normal weight and negative family history of diabetes.
Methods: 910 pregnant women attending the diabetes clinic at Bushehr University of Medical Sciences were screening for gestational diabetes using a 50-gram glucose challenge test. All the women were 24-28 weeks pregnant at the time of testing. Women with a post-load blood glucose of ≥140mg/dl were referred for a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test. The presence of ADA risk factors was recorded, as was the absence of all three risk factors, and compared with the results of 50-gram GCT. We evaluated the predictive value of different combinations of risk factors relative to the results of screening.
Results: 66 women (6.9%) had a positive screening test, with 16 (1.75%) eventually diagnosed with GDM based on OGTT results. GCT was negative in 616 (95.3%) women, who had at least one of the three risk factors – age >25 years, BMI ≥27kg/m2, or a positive family history of diabetes – and in 231 (27.3%) women who had none of these risk factors [odds ratio = 70.3, 95%-CI = 2.23-22.21 p<0.0001].
Conclusion: Selective screening of pregnant women will detect most cases of gestational diabetes where resources to implement universal screening are limited. The most important factors in selecting screening candidates are age, body mass index, and family history of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Compassion-Focused Mindfulness Training on social isolation, sense of coherence, and body appreciation in overweight girls.
Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test/post-test control group. The statistical population consisted of overweight girls aged 14 to 18 in the city of Sari during the 2024-2025 academic year. A sample of 32 participants was selected via purposive sampling and then randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group. The experimental group received Compassion-Focused Mindfulness Training, delivered in eight structured sessions, while the control group received no intervention. The Compassion-Focused Mindfulness protocol was developed and administered based on the therapeutic framework proposed by Sadeghi et al. (2021), the instruments used in this study included: the Body Appreciation Questionnaire by Mendelson et al. (2001), the Sense of Coherence Scale by Antonovsky (1987), the Social Isolation Questionnaire by Madrasi Yazdi et al. (2017), the collected data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Univariate and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA & MANCOVA) were performed using SPSS software, version 26.
Results: The results indicated that Compassion-Focused Mindfulness Training had a significant effect on self-worth, sense of coherence, and social isolation in overweight girls. Specifically, this training led to a reduction in social isolation and an improvement in self-worth and sense of coherence among the participants. (Wilks' Lambda = 0.151, F = 11.787, P< 0.001).
Conclusion: Compassion-Focused Mindfulness Training, by emphasizing the non-judgmental acceptance of experiences and fostering a meaning-centered approach, can play a vital role in enhancing psychological well-being, regulating emotions, and improving social interactions. Therefore, incorporating this effective intervention for vulnerable groups, particularly overweight girls, is crucial for designing supportive and therapeutic strategies and can significantly contribute to improving their quality of life.
