The effectiveness of psychological empowerment program on emotion regulation of patients with a history of sleeve surgery

Background and purpose: It is one of the important variables that should be considered in people after sleeve surgery. We can refer to psychological well-being. Psychological well-being is defined as the existence of favorable cognitive and emotional psychological documents. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of the psychological empowerment program on emotion regulation in patients with a history of sleeve surgery. Methods: The present study is a semi-experimental type in which a pre-test-post-test design was conducted with a control group with measurement at the baseline after the intervention and three-month follow-up. The number of 50 patients with a history of sleeve surgery referred to Parsian Hospital in Tehran between September 2020 and May 2021, taking into account the entry criteria, 40 of those who were willing to participate in the research (with written consent) were selected and It was done through random replacement in the following way and they were randomly assigned to the psychological empowerment program group and the control group (20 people in each group). All participants completed and measured Garnsefaki's emotion regulation questionnaire in three stages. The aforementioned treatment sessions of the psychological empowerment program (8 sessions of 2.5 hours) were conducted in groups. The data were analyzed using variance analysis with repeated measurements and SPSS-21 software. Results: The results of the present study showed that the psychological empowerment program was effective on emotional regulation of patients with a history of sleeve surgery, and the stability of this effectiveness continued until the follow-up stage (P<0.001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the psychological empowerment program was effective in regulating the emotions of patients with a history of sleeve surgery and it can be used to reduce the problems of patients with a history of sleeve surgery

Promoting Behaviors of Healthiness in two Domains of Physical Activity and Nutrition Statue in High School Students

Background Youth' healthiness depends on their hygiene behaviors. Doing promoting behaviors of healthiness is one of best ways of health protect and control. This study aimed to investigate promoting behaviors of healthiness in two physical activity and nutrition statue domains in high school students. Materials and Methods: The study was descriptive-analytic of cross-sectional type study which was done on 800 students of second level of high school in Sabzevar- Iran, during 2015-2016. Sampling method was as clustered and tool of collecting data was questionnaire include: first part demographic information and second part standard of healthiness promoting behaviors (HPLP). Data were entered into using Stata version 12.0 after collecting and were analyzed with statistical-descriptive and Chi-square tests. Results: Average of physical activity in boys and girls were 18.27 ± 5.38 and 13.8 ± 6.3, respectively. There was a significant relationship between rate of students' physical activity with level of parents' education and educational grades of students. Boys had more physical activity compared to girls in terms of gender (P0.05); while, there was significant relationship between favorable nutritional statue and their educational grade levels, educational field and parents' occupation in students (P<0.05). Conclusion In current study, female students had less physical activity and required programming to improve more physical activities among girls. Parents who had higher educational level, their children had more suitable pattern in terms of physical activity and nutrition statue

The Effect of Finishing and Polishing Time on Microleakage of Composite Restorations

Background and Aim : Composite resins require time to complete their polymerization. This process usually reaches its maximum rate after 24 hours. On the other hand, immediately after restoration, water sorption results in hygroscopic expansion of composite resins and the mentioned two factors usually reachequilibrium after a week. Considering the effect of mentioned processes on the microleakage of composite restorations, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of finishing and polishing time on the mean microleakage of composite restorations .   Materials and Methods : In this in-vitro experimental study, 60 sound human premolar teeth were selected. A standard Class V cavity was prepared measuring 1.5 mm in depth, 3 mm in width and 2 mm in length on the buccal surface of each tooth and incrementally restored with composite resin. Next, the teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups. The teeth in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were finished and polished immediately, 15 min, 24 h and one week after storage in distilled water at 37°C, respectively. Specimens in each group were subjected to 500 thermal cycles. The teeth were then coated with adhesive wax and nail varnish and immersed in 2% fuchsin solution for 24h. The specimens were washed and each sample was longitudinally sectioned in half by a diamond saw. Both halves were evaluated in terms of dye penetration under a stereomicroscope at 28X magnification. For each sample, the section with greater degree of microleakage was selected. Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test were used for data analysis with a 99.1% confidence interval .   Results : The lowest mean microleakage was observed in the occlusal margin of group 3 teeth while the highest mean microleakage belonged to the occlusal and gingival margins of teeth in group 2. A significant difference was noted between the 4 groups in occlusal margin microleakage (P<0.009). However, no such difference was found in gingival margin .   Conclusion: This study showed that the finishing and polishing timewas effective on the mean microleakage in the enamel margin of composite restorations. The best time of finishing and polishing was 24h after the restoration. Time of finishing and polishing had no effect on microleakage in dentin margins of restorations
