Abstract
Background: Health concerns are common issues during adolescence due to the wide range of changes and challenges in this period. As a major population of many countries, including Iran, adolescents need some opportunities to express their thoughts and concerns. Identifying the worrisome subjects among this population group can help us in providing appropriate health education and consultations. Considering that in the majority of studies, adolescent girls express higher concerns compared to boys and since they are more mentally vulnerable than boys, the study aimed to determine health concerns of adolescent’s high school girls from their personal perspectives in Gorgan."
Methods: This study was a quantitative content analysis based on responses of high school female students in private and public schools in Gorgan. The sample size of this study) at least 500 people (was based on the population ratio of high school girls in the public and private schools. As a result, three public and two private schools were randomly chosen. From each grade in the schools, one class was randomly selected. Assenting to take part in the study, adolescents high school girls were asked to fill an anonymous sheet containing demographic information with an open question at the bottom of the sheet in the form of: “Dear adolescent please write down all the concerns you have in your daily lives in the assigned space below”; Finally, 548 sheets were collected and analyzed.
Results: The findings showed that 3 categories including “Self” (%93.8) with 11 subcategories including “education”, “Occupation”, ”Future life”, “Health”, “Marriage”, ”Nutrition”, “Religions”, “Exercise and Recreational activities”, “Appearance“, “Puberty“, and “Risky behavior, “Significant Others“(%44.8) with 3 subcategories including “Family”, “Peers”, and “School staff”, and finally “Peripheral system”(%21.2) with 4 subcategories including “Society“, “School”, “Environment”, and “Cyberspace” as the main adolescents were found as health concern sources.
Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be stated that Iranian adolescents experience an atmosphere full of educational, career, family, social, and the future concerns. Thus, modifying the educational system and job creation should be seriously considered by the policy makers to reduce adolescents' health concerns. In this regard, periodical evaluation of health concerns in high schools are recommended. In fact, our findings can give adolescents a stronger voice to increase policy maker’s awareness regarding the adolescents` concerns.

General and sexual self-concepts are affected by various life problems including infertility. Infertility can affect people's self-concept by affecting their personal and sexual life. Lack of negative mood management can also affect people's self-concept by creating psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Mood regulation skill as a protective factor for people experiencing psychological problems in their relationships, will modify emotional responses which in turn leads to improve their physical and psychological health through positive and adapted behaviors. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of mood regulation education on general and sexual self-concept in infertile women.
Methods: This clinical trial study conducted in 1397, 34 infertile women referred to the only infertility center in Gorgan who were included in the study and were selected by available sampling method, (n=17) in the intervention group and (n=17) in the control group. Education program of mood regulation was performed in four, 90- minute-long sessions of a one-time workshop for individuals in the intervention group. Inclusion criteria were: Iranian nationality, high school education, not having any stepchild, primary infertility, absence of known physical and psychological illnesses (according to their own declaration), not taking psychiatric medication, non-drug addiction of both the woman and the spouse and not having any life skills training. Exclusion criteria were: not attending in educational sessions more than once and unwillingness to continue this study. Both groups completed Rogers' Persian self-concept questionnaire and Snell's self-concept questionnaire before, immediately and one month after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 16), repeated measures analysis of variance, and adjusted Bonferroni test (P <0.05).
Results: In this study, the mean age of the samples in the intervention group was 33.18 ± 6.07 and 30.41 ± 4.54 in the control group. Results showed that before intervention, general self-concept in intervention group was 9.41, positive sexual self-concept 123.76, negative 12.17, and situational was 43.17. One month after intervention, general self-concept was 6.21, positive sexual self-concept 139.29, negative 5.70 and situational was 54.23. The results of repeated analysis of variance showed that mood regulation education had a positive effect on promotion of general self-concept and sexual self-concept of infertile women one month after intervention, therefore this effect was statistically significant.
Conclusions: Mood regulation education improves the general and sexual self-concept of infertile women and can be used in health care, infertility and midwifery centers.

Abstract
Background: Sexual self-concept is a cognitive evaluation which refers to a person's perception of tendencies and self-sexuality and may be affected by factors such as chronic illnesses. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare sexual self-concept in married diabetic women with married non-diabetic women.
Methods: This Analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 200 married diabetic women and 200 non-diabetic women referred to healthcare centers of Gorgan. Inclusion criteria were: high school education or more, Iranian nationality, living with their spouses for the past 4 weeks, and getting married once. Exclusion criteria were: history of adverse events in the past three months, identified physical, psychological and sexual problems, having psychiatric disorders diagnosis by a psychiatrist, current couple's drug and alcohol addiction, pregnancy, menopause, infertility, and lactation. Samples were selected by systematic random sampling. Data were collected using Farsi Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire and were analyzed by SPSS16 software using Mann-Whitney nonparametric test.
Results: The results showed that the mean of positive sexual self-concept (103/2 ± 25/59) and the mean score of situational sexual self-concept (33/6± 11/3) in diabetic women were significantly lower than the mean scores of similar areas in non-diabetic women who showed positive sexual self-concept as 111.41 ±24/59 and situational sexual self-concept as 38/2 ± 11/04. Furthermore, the mean score of negative sexual self-concept (27/9 ± 8/5) in diabetic women was significantly higher than the mean scores of similar areas in non-diabetic women (24/9 ± 7/09).
Conclusions: Diabetes is known as an effective factor on women's sexual issues such as sexual self-concept. According to the results of this study, it seems that some interventions must be designed to improve the positive and situational sexual self-concept and to reduce negative sexual self-concept.

Abstract
Background: Women experience psychological problems during pregnancy affecting their quality of life. Since weakness in life skills, including communication skills (CS), is a factor of reducing the quality of life, we conducted a study to determine the effect of group counseling based on communication skills on the quality of life in pregnant women in Gorgan.
Methods: The parallel randomized field study trial carried out in 2016 on 72 pregnant women who referred to the health centers in Gorgan, Iran. The pregnant women at the gestational age of 14-18 weeks were recruited in convenience sampling method, and then randomly assigned in to the intervention and control groups using the block randomization method. The data collection tool included the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) that was completed by both groups before the intervention. The samples of the intervention group received 6 sessions of group counseling based on communication skills for a one-hour session per week. A week after the sessions, the questionnaires were completed again by both groups. We analyzed the data in SPSS-16 using the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test, Paired t-test, and Chi-square test.
Results: The mean of women's age was 28.4±4.3 years in the intervention group, and was 26.8±4.5 years in the control group, and the mean age of their husbands were 33.14±5.3 and 31.22± 4.8 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. There was statistically significant difference between the intervention (60±15.2) and control (49±13.4) groups after the intervention in total quality of life (P=0.002). The results indicated that the mean scores of quality of life of women in the intervention group versus the control group after the intervention had statistically significant differences in all areas except for the "physical function" (65.3±17.4 vs. 61.5±20.1, P=0.4) and "role limitation due to physical problems" (50±36.8 vs. 45.1±27.3, P=0.56).
Conclusion: The health centers need to be taught about the communication skills in line with physical training during pregnancy by midwives and midwifery counselors.

Abstract
Background: Counseling interventions are among the available strategies to improve the menopausal quality of life and self-awareness counseling is effective in improving adaptation, self-confidence and quality of life. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine effects of self-awareness counseling on quality of life of menopausal women in Gorgan, Iran.
Methods: In this clinical trial, we examined 52 menopause women referred to health centers of Gorgan, Iran in 2018. Data collection tools included a demographic characteristics form and the menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire. First, the control group completed the data collection tools at the beginning of the study and 6 and 10 weeks after the first session. Then the intervention group completed the tools at base line and participated in six 45-60-minute self-awareness-based group counseling sessions, once a week. After that, they were completed questionnaire, immediately and a month after the end of the intervention. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
Results: In the intervention group, the baseline mean scores of menopausal quality of life and its vasomotor, physical, psychosocial and sexual domains were 55.69±19.47, 5.30±4.57, 30.26±12.24, 12.15±6.64 and 7.96±5.34, respectively. A month after the intervention, the mean scores of menopausal quality of life (30.42±19.64) and its vasomotor (2.65±2.33), physical (16.38±8.64), psychosocial (7.19±4.63) and sexual (4.19±3.42) domains increased significantly in the intervention group (p=0.001). In between group comparison, except for the psychosocial domain, the mean scores of quality of life and its various domains showed a statistically significant difference in one month after the intervention (P=0.001).
Conclusion: The menopausal quality of life and its various domains improved one month after the end of self-awareness counseling. Therefore, we recommend offering self-awareness counseling in health centers for improving the quality of life of menopausal women.

Abstract
Background: General self-concept refers to a set of feelings and perceptions toward oneself, and sexual self-concept is defined as individual's perception of his/her sexual feelings and actions. These two concepts are affected by various life problems, including infertility. The present study aimed to determine correlation of general self-concept and sexual self-concept in infertile women.
Methods: The descriptive correlational study was carried out on all infertile women who visited the Gorgan Infertility Center in 2018. Overall, 105 eligible infertile women were included in the study via convenience sampling. Data were collected using Persian versions of the Rogers self-concept questionnaire and the Snell sexual self-concept questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Pearson and Spearman's correlation tests in SPSS 16 and at significance of 0.05.
Results: Mean age of subjects was 28.88±5.14 years (range: 17 and 40 years). Based on the findings, 19% of the participants had normal general self-concept, 31.4% had moderate self-concept, and 49.5% had weak self-concept. Mean scores of positive sexual self-concept, negative self-concept and situational sexual self-concept were 118.9±24.85, 13.33±8.94 and 41.98±10.53, respectively. There was no correlation between general self-concept and different dimensions of sexual self-concept of the infertile women.
Conclusion: Due to the lack of correlation between general self-concept and sexual self-concept in infertile women, it is suggested to conduct evaluations and interventions on the general and sexual self-concepts of the participants separately.

Abstract
Background: Sexual self-concept is an individual's perception of his/her sexual feelings and actions, which can be affected by chronic diseases, including diabetes. As a biological and psychological crisis, diabetes can cause mood changes. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of virtual emotion regulation training on the positive and negative sexual self-concept of diabetic married women.
Methods: An interventional study was conducted on women with type 2 diabetes covered by the comprehensive health service centers of Gorgan (Iran) in 2019. Overall, 36 eligible diabetic women were enrolled via available sampling. The subjects were assigned to an intervention group (n=19) and a control group (n=17) through four-block allocation and random selection without placement. Virtual emotion regulation training was held during 4 sessions, once a week, for the intervention group. Both groups completed the Persian version of Beck’s Depression Inventory and Snell’s Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire at baseline, immediately after the last virtual training session, and one month after the last training session. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Bonferroni's post hoc test at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The mean score of positive sexual self-concept of patients after the last training session was 133.68 ± 18.91in the intervention and 131.17 ± 18.86 in the control group. The mean score of positive sexual self-concept of patients one month after the training was 10± 9.51in the intervention group and 15.17 ± 11.92in the control group. The mean score of negative sexual self-concept of patients after the last training session was 10.42± 10.04 in the intervention and 14.52± 14.39 in the control group. The interaction effects of time and group on the positive sexual self-concept did not differ significantly (P=0.316). The group effect was also not statistically significant (P=0.58). The interaction effects of time and group on the negative sexual self-concept were significant (P=0.023), and the group effect was not statistically significant (P₌0.47).
Conclusion: The significant interaction of time and group on negative sexual self-concept indicates that the negative sexual self-concept in diabetic women has been affected by the intervention. Given the significant effects of virtual emotion regulation training on the management of negative emotions, this type of intervention can be beneficial for improving the health of diabetic women.

The interaction effects of time and group on the negative sexual self-concept were significant (P=0.023), and the group effect was not statistically significant (P₌0.47).
Conclusion: The significant interaction of time and group on negative sexual self-concept indicates that the negative sexual self-concept in diabetic women has been affected by the intervention. Given the significant effects of virtual emotion regulation training on the management of negative emotions, this type of intervention can be beneficial for improving the health of diabetic women.

Abstract
Background: Self-awareness and sexual satisfaction can be affected by the fear following the spread of disease. The study was done with the aim of comparing self-awareness and sexual satisfaction scores before and during the Corona period in married women covered by health service centers.
Methods: Descriptive-analytical research was conducted on 60 reproductive age women who participated in an intervention study before Corona (2017). The Persian self-awareness and sexual satisfaction tools of the first study were provided online to the participants. Data analysis was done through spss-16 and Shapiro-Wilk, Machelli, repeated analysis of variance, Bonferroni, Tukey with a confidence factor of 0.95.
Results: In the intervention group; the mean score of sexual satisfaction at times one (before the intervention in the first study) and two (after the intervention in the first study) (101.77 ± 10.59, 110.51 ± 8.37, respectively) increased significantly (P-Value<0.001) and in Times two and three (COVID-19 period) (110.51 ± 8.37, 107.06 ± 9.21, respectively) have decreased significantly (P-Value <0.007). The mean score of private self-awareness decreased significantly in times two and three (31.9±4.5, 27.67±5.17) ، (P-Value <0.001). The mean score of general self-awareness had no significant changes in time two and three (17.38±3.07, 15.61±3.55, respectively). The mean scores of social increased significantly during the COVID-19 period (11.83±6.42).
Conclusion: The results show that the score of sexual satisfaction, private and public self-awareness of women in the intervention group remained higher than the control group during the covid-19. This shows that the effect of self-awareness training has not completely disappeared.
