Abstract
Background and objectives: Surgery in children around the world, including our country, is a stressful activity for mothers of children and reduces their self-efficacy in childcare. It is important to use psychological training approaches, especially in mothers, to improve their self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cognitive strategy training on reducing the stresses caused by Children's Surgery in mothers and on their self-efficacy.
Methods: In an experimental study in Taleghani Pediatric Center in 1396, 60 mothers whose children had surgery were randomly selected and allocated to intervention and control groups. The general psychological training and stress management program was implemented for the intervention group. Data collection tool was a questionnaire of two-part parenting self-efficacy questionnaire (PSAM DEMO).
Results: The independent t-test was not significantly different between the two groups before intervention (P-value = 0.72). However, after intervention, the level of self-efficacy in the intervention and control group showed a significant difference (P <0.01). Therefore, the level of self-efficacy in the control group was lower. ANOVA showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups before and after the intervention (P <0.01). Eta of 0.47 shows that approximately 50% of the changes in the increase in self-efficacy of the mothers of children with preoperative surgery related to the intervention. Therefore, the mothers of the intervention group had more self-efficacy than the control group before surgery.
Conclusion: Strategies for providing appropriate education for mothers with children undergoing surgery can be suggested as an effective approach to increasing the self-efficacy of mothers in all hospitals throughout the country.

Et al. (2008) standardized and localized. Exclusion criteria included: unwillingness to continue cooperation, occurrence of severe stressful event during the study (accident, death of a first degree relative), conversion of low risk pregnancy to high risk pregnancy (preterm birth, placental abnormalities, polygamy). , Recommended for absolute rest by a midwife or gynecologist). The scores on this questionnaire ranged from 14 to 56 and higher scores indicated greater fear. No Anxiety: You didn't have that fear at all. 2 Very Low Anxiety: Not enough to be called fear. Moderate anxiety: Annoying: but not enough to affect your health and comfort 4 High anxiety: Worry is a concern that affects your health and comfort.
Initially, after completing the informed consent form, and if they scored more than 1, they were told by the Fear Questionnaire, this was a research task with two intervention and control groups. The assignment to each of the groups is completely random, and if they are in the intervention group, they will be invited to participate in the emotion regulation classes and the classes are completely optional. They were then assigned to a random sequence of letters A and B using random block allocation (binary random blocks designed and executed by a computer system). Sorting the descending phobia scores downward for the volunteer mothers would result in homogeneity in successive scores (a suitable random stratification approach), so that the mean scores in groups A and B were very close to each other. The first group consisted of 10 subjects, with one person being excluded from the study during the sessions. The first group meetings ended with 9 people. The second group started with 10 people who ended up in sessions with 9 people due to the death of his father. The third group started with 11 people and the 11 people continued until the end. Statistical analysis was performed on 29 patients in the intervention group and 31 in the control group. The pretest-posttest and control group design was performed on 62 primigravida 28-32 weeks’ pregnant women in Gorgan health centers. Sampling was done by stratified random sampling and restricted minimization method. Data collection tool was demographic data form and Persian Questionnaire 14 "Fear of delivery" questionnaire which was completed by both groups at the beginning of the study. Mothers of intervention group in 9 to 11 group in two 120 minute sessions. Weekly group training received emotion regulation according to Grasse model. Mothers in control group did not receive any intervention. At the end of the eighth session, the postnatal phase of the Fear Questionnaire was completed with a range of 14 items by both groups. Statistical analysis was performed using parametric tests of chi-square, t-test, and non-parametric tests of chi-square, Mann-Whitney at 95% confidence level and 80% test power using SPSS 18 software.
Results: The results of the present study showed that in the control group, the mean fear score of 3 units (from 37.6552 to 34.4839) and in the intervention group 11 units (from 37.6552 to 26.5517) significantly decreased after the emotion regulation training (5. /.>p).
Conclusions: Primary pregnant women who received emotion regulation training had lower fear of delivery than control group. Reduce. The result of the study confirms the importance of emotion regulation training in reducing the mean score of fear of childbirth.

Abstract
Background: One of the main responsibilities of the parents is training toddlers how to control urination. Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) is a useful method of toilet training for children. Video modeling is an important tool for teaching new motor skills to both children and adults. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Toddlers’ Daily Toilet Training (TDTT) based on DAP on duration of toilet training in toddlers.
Methods: This quasi-experimental field trial was conducted in healthcare centers of Isfahan, Iran, in 2018-2019. Overall, 130 pair of mothers and their 18-24 months old infants were recruited using multi-stage sampling. The subjects were then divided into a control (n=75) and an intervention (n=55) group by random assignment. At the beginning of the DAP-based approach, the subjects were assessed every 2-4 weeks in terms of readiness for toilet training by using the Child and Mother Readiness Assessment Checklist. After achieving 80% score in the checklist, the mothers in the intervention group participated in TDTT program, while the control group received no intervention. For both groups, another checklist was completed every two weeks to determine toilet training duration and time to achieve urination control. Data analysis was carried out in SPSS18 software using the independent t-tests, Chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney test at significance level of 0.05.
Results: The mean duration of daily urination control in the control group (43.6±22.58 days) was significantly longer than in the TDTT group (28.71±12.12 days) (P=0.02). The age of readiness in both group ranged from 21 to 27 months. The duration of urination control was significantly associated with the mother's level of education (P=0.04) but inversely related to the age of achieving readiness (P=0.03) and the mother's employment status (P=0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results, the TDTT program using video modeling and the DAP approach is effective in shortening the duration of toilet training in toddlers.

Abstract
Background: Fear of childbirth can affect the health of the mother and the baby, which can be associated with unfavorable consequences. This study was conducted to determine effects of an emotion regulation training based on the Gross model on the fear of childbirth in primigravida women.
Methods: This randomized field trial was conducted on 62 primigravida women with a gestational age of 28-32 weeks, who were referred to comprehensive healthcare centers in Gorgan (Iran) from April to November 2019. Subjects were selected using simple random sampling. The subjects were randomly divided into a control group (n=31) and an intervention group (n=29) based on their mean score of fear of childbirth at pretest. The Gross model-based emotion regulation training was held in 8 sessions of 120 minutes, twice a week, for women in the intervention group in three groups. The control group received routine training programs. Data were collected using the Persian version of the 14-item fear of childbirth questionnaire, at baseline and one month after the intervention. Statistical analysis of data was carried out in SPSS software (version 16) and at significance level of 0.05.
Results: The demographic characteristics of the subjects did not differ significantly between the two groups. After the training intervention, the mean score of fear of childbirth in the intervention group (26.55±5.44) was significantly lower than that in the control group (34.48±7.32) (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: Based on the results, we suggest providing the Gross model-based emotion regulation training in health care centers in order to reduce the fear of childbirth in primigravida women.

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.

Abstract
Background: Olfactory dysfunction, a prominent complication of COVID-19, significantly impacts patients' quality of life, persisting for months after infection. Exploring diverse methodologies to address this issue necessitates scholarly investigation. Therefore, our primary objective was to assess the impact of olfactory training on enhancing olfaction sense among COVID-19 patients.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial employed a pretest-posttest design to assess COVID-19 patients experiencing olfactory dysfunction at the Babol Health Center in northern Iran. Patients were allocated to either the control or intervention group using closed envelopes. Both groups, consisting of 50 patients each, completed the Olfactory Disorders - Negative Statements (QOD-NS) questionnaire before the intervention. Over a six-week period, participants in the intervention group were exposed to Phenylethyl alcohol, Eucalyptus, Citronol, and Eugenol twice daily, rotating each scent for 20 seconds with ten-second breaks in between, while the control group received no intervention. Independent and paired t-tests were utilized to analyze the relationship between the groups before and after the intervention, with analysis conducted using SPSS 16. The significance level was set at less than 0.05.
Results: The mean score of olfactory disorder among patients before the intervention in both the intervention and control groups was 24.32 ± 6.60 and 22.85 ± 8.04, respectively, showing no significant difference (P = 0.33). However, following the intervention, the scores decreased to 19.60 ± 5.74 and 22.52 ± 7.39 in the intervention and control groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference observed (P = 0.034).
Conclusion: Olfactory training demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing olfaction sense among patients with COVID-19 experiencing olfactory disorders. Consequently, it is recommended that nurses be trained to administer this program to COVID-19 patients with olfactory disorders upon discharge, facilitating their recovery process.
