For internal consistency and repeatability, the questionnaire was filled out for 84 nurses working in Besat Hospital in Hamadan. Reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: content validity ratio was finally 0.84 and content validity index in the factor of being simple were 0.99%, relevant 92.9% and clarity 98.3%, respectively. The content validity index was 96.4%. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha test (0.84) and Pearson correlation coefficient (0.90).

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Migraine is a chronic disease and the most common type of debilitating headache in children.The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-management and headache severity, quality of life and physical activity in children with migraine.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 children with chronic migraine referred to the clinic of Besat Hospital and Imam Khomeini Clinic in Hamadan during the years 2019-2021 were studied. The research tools consisted of questionnaires for demographic information, stages of pain transformation, examining the effect of headache, Kindle quality of life and physical activity. Analysis of variance and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data. The significance level was at 0.05.
Results: One-way analysis of variance test showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of headache self-management and the duration of migraine attacks in terms of headache severity. There was a direct and significant relationship between headache intensity score and quality of life and the number of migraine headache symptoms (P < 0.05) and a significant inverse relationship (P < 0.01) with the number of migraine attacks per month. There was a statistically significant difference between number of migraine episodes in a month and the severity of headache (P < 0.01).
Conclusions: Self-management was not associated with the headache severity, quality of life and physical activity, but severe headache reduced the quality of life and decreased the frequency of symptoms and increased the number of migraine episodes per month.

Abstract

Background and Objectives: Understanding the role of emotional maturity in the self-management ability of adolescents with type 2 diabetes leads to optimal health management and improved quality of life. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between emotional maturity and self-management among adolescents with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 130 adolescents with type 2 diabetes were recruited from Tehran Diabetes Clinic through simple random sampling. The required data were collected using a demographic characteristic form, the Emotional Maturity Scale (Yashvir Singh and Bhargava), and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (Schmitt). Data analysis was performed using Pearson’s correlation, independent t-tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests, and multiple regression analysis via SPSS software (version 26).
Results: There was a direct and significant correlation between emotional maturity and diabetes self-management among adolescents with type 2 diabetes (P<0.001, r=0.361). The dimensions of emotional maturity, including emotional instability, emotional regression, and personality disintegration, were significantly associated with self-management (P<0.001). Male adolescents gained higher scores in diabetes self-management, compared to females (P=0.015), and there was an inverse and significant relationship between age and diabetes self-management (P=0.005). The multiple regression model showed that emotional maturity, gender, and age explained 24% of the variance in diabetes self-management (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Emotional maturity, gender, and age are important in improving the self-management of adolescents with type 2 diabetes. Intervention and educational programs aimed at promoting the emotional maturity of adolescents, especially females, should be designed and implemented to improve their diabetes self-management and quality of life.
