One of the practical strategies in this regard is health education. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of educational interventions on improving oral and dental health promotion behaviors in pregnant women.
Methods: Electronic search was performed from the beginning of January first 2016 until the end of May 2016 using Persian and English key words from information bank websites (Iran Medex), Scientific Information Database (SID), PubMed, Science direct, Web of Science, and Embase. And, studies in which effects of educational interventions had been investigated were selected.
Results: Most of the studies were of controlled clinical trial using the models and theories of health education and health promotion. Further interventions were in the form of training, examination and instrumental support, and time different.
Conclusion: Health education has a significant influence on improving oral and dental health promotion behaviors in pregnant women. But using theories and models has the feature of specifying the most important factors affecting the issue and then determining a suitable strategy.

The sample consisted of 81 Ph.D. students who were selected from different faculties based on academic discipline (basic and clinical sciences). Using a structured questionnaire including demographic information, self-efficacy, attitude toward the field of study, and professional development. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 21.

The results showed that the attitude toward the field of study was good, but the attitude toward the job prospect was not in desirable limit. There was a significant relationship between mentoring function (instructor) and attitudes toward job prospects. In addition, self-efficacy had a significant relationship with the field of study and job prospects (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Improving self-efficacy in PhD students and emphasizing to the role of faculty members as a pattern are effective on attitudes toward job prospect. Therefore, the new regulations, the provision of appropriate facilities, successful planning for the training of a capable workers and the creation of new job positions are other measures to promote university mobility.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Mammography and early detection of breast cancer a play the important role in the treatment process. The current study aimed to determine the demographic and psychological determinants of performing Mammography screening among employed women in western Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 164 employed women of age 40 years and over in Hamadan medical professions, were included in the study in 2018 using a stratified random sampling. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire consisting demographic characteristics and protection motivation theory constructs. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and logistic and linear regression.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 46.68 ± 4.39 years. 6.1% of the people performed mammography on a regular basis.The regression analysis indicated that threat appraisal had more important role in mammography compared to coping appraisal.Moreover, protection motivation was the most important predictor constructs of mammography behavior (R2 = 0.17).There was also a significant relationship between mammography and demographic variables such as pre-existing health condition (P = 0.001), family history of breast cancer (P = 0.005) and menopausal status (P = 0.001).
Conclusion: Protection motivation theory is an effective framework for educational interventions to prevent breast cancer. Furthermore, considering the threat appraisal and intention are the most important effective structures of the motivation protection theory on mammography, and therefore, codifying the training programs with the purpose of increasing perceived threat appraisal and intention is suggested.
