Abstract
Background and Objectives: Studies investigating life skills and general health have mainly focused on some skills or parts of health. In this study, ten components of skills and three components of general health were examined in patients presenting to veterans’ health and counseling centers in Tehran and the relationship between each skill and multiple levels of general health was assessed.
Methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 600 randomly selected service users. Data were collected using two standard questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc and multivariate regression. Lisrel-8 path analysis and software were used to investigate the causal relationships between variables and the way a skill affected general health.
Results: The highest mean scores of skills were related to emotion management, critical thinking, social support and creative thinking, decision making, stress management, self-awareness, empathy and effective communication and problem solving. The results of path analysis showed a strong link between overall life skills and general health. The effect of skills on social performance was more than other components of health.
Conclusion: The contribution of emotion management, creative thinking, effective communication, and stress management skills to the prediction of general health was more than other life skills. Considering the importance of general health, it is recommended that educational programs be implemented with focus on these population subgroups to improve their skills and general health level.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Correct and timely detection of the outbreaks of diseases with a short incubation period is of great importance in the health system. The aim of this study was to determine the detection of dysentery outbreaks using the cumulative sum method.
Methods: This time series study was conducted using the data of the National Surveillance System between 2014 and 2017. The outbreak alert threshold of each season and province was determined separately using the average of three years (1393 to 1395) in the same season and province. The dysentery outbreak in each season was exclusively predicted for Isfahan, Khuzestan, and Hamadan provinces in 2017 using the CUSUM method.
Results: In Isfahan Province, the outbreak alert was higher in the spring and summer and lower in the autumn and winter using the current method compared to the CUSUM method. For Khuzestan Province, the current outbreak alert was significantly higher in all seasons compared to the CUSUM method, while the current outbreak alert was lower than the alert predicted by the CUSUM method in Hamadan Province in all the seasons.
Conclusion: Compared to constant threshold-based methods, using the CUSUM method seems to be a better way for reporting outbreaks, especially in areas with a high incidence.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Borderline personality disorder is a prevalent psychiatric disorder and this study was conducted to examine the prevalence of borderline personality traits and their relationship with the family emotional climate among high school students.
Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational study involved 583 students from public high schools in Urmia city, selected using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Data collection included a demographic information checklist, the Borderline Personality Scale for Children (BPFS-C), and the Alfred B. Hillburn Family Emotional Climate Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 18 software, utilizing descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), Pearson correlation tests, and one-way analysis of variance.
Results: The study found that the overall average of borderline personality traits across all disciplines was moderate, with higher levels observed in the humanities field compared to other fields. Borderline personality scores were higher among eleventh-grade students. The prevalence of borderline personality traits in the sample was low (26.9%), moderate (58.1%), and high (15%). Most students reported a high emotional atmosphere within their families (89.5%). An inverse and significant relationship was observed between family emotional climate and all dimensions of borderline personality traits. There were significant differences in family emotional climate across different grades, with the eleventh grade reporting the lowest average. Differences in borderline personality traits were also noted across educational levels. While the emotional atmosphere within families was higher among girls compared to boys, there was no significant gender difference in borderline personality traits. Additionally, there were no differences in family emotional climate across educational regions, but the average borderline personality traits were higher in region one.
Conclusion: Overall, the emotional climate within the family serves as a crucial protective factor against the development of borderline traits in adolescents. Educational and psychosocial interventions should prioritize strengthening parent-child emotional connections, fostering empathy, and teaching emotion regulation within families.
