Abstract

Background and Aim: Currently there is no standardized and validated questionnaire for assessing the care of danger signs in children less than 5 years by the mothers based on behavioral patterns. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate psychometrically an instrument for assessment of the care of danger signs in children less than 5 years old by the mothers based on the Health Belief Model.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 350 mothers in the City of Arak, Iran. After reviewing the related literature, an instrument was designed and its content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI) and face validity were measured. To measure the reliability of the scales, the internal consistency method was used. Data analysis was done using the SPSS software.

Results: The scores of the CVI and CVR of the 81 items were found to be 0.79 and 0.62, respectively, the items being classified into seven categories. Based on the Cronbach's alpha, the overall reliability was 0.86. The reliability of the questionnaire for checklists of performance was 0.99, followed by those of perceived benefits (0.90), severity (0.83), perceived barriers (0.68), knowledge (0.66), perceived susceptibility (0.65), self-efficacy (0.63), and cues to action (0.56). Conclusion: The output of this psychometric process study is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring symptoms of risk behaviors in the care of vulnerable children based on the health belief model constructs, which can be used in health sciences research aiming at helping to protect the health of children.

Abstract

Background and Aim: One of the emotions that plays an important role in the health of all people is the emotion of anger which is one of the main emotions. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation and resilience training mediated by locus of control on anger control in medical students.
Materials and Methods: This was an experimental study. The statistical population included all medical students randomly divided into three groups of 30 students each by simple and multi-stage cluster sampling. One of the experimental groups received 8 sessions of emotion regulation training and the other 8 sessions of resilience training. Data were collected on all the subjects using the Rotter locus of control and Spielberger's anger and trait questionnaires
and analyzed using repeated-measures and two-factors analysis of variance.
Results: Analysis of the data showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the emotion regulation and resilience training groups as regards anger control. In addition, the differences between the two groups as regards the locus of internal and external control in controlling anger and its subscales were also significant.
Conclusion: Teaching emotion regulation and resilience skills can, like other skills, help greatly students against the challenges of the present era.
