The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of meaning centered therapy and unit-oriented therapy on resilience and quality of life in leukemia patients. The research method was pragmatic in nature with regard to its objective. In terms of data collection, it followed a semi-experimental design comprising a control group and a pre-test-post-test-follow-up phase. The statistical population for this research comprised all leukemia patients referred to Mahyar Charity in Tehran during 2019 and 2020. A random sample of 60 patients was drawn from this population, and they were subsequently assigned into two experimental groups and one control group, with age and gender homogenization. Participants for pre-test, post-test and follow-up responded to the Back Anxiety Inventory (BAI); the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The participants of the first experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of meaning centered therapy and the participants of the second experimental group underwent 7 sessions of 90 minutes of unit-oriented therapy. Analysis of variance with repeated measures and SPSS-24 software were used to analyze the data. On the component of emotional quality of life, the present study found a statistically significant difference between the efficacy of meaning-centered therapy and unity-oriented therapy (P=0.001). Regarding resilience, there was no statistically significant distinction between meaning-centered therapy and unit-oriented treatment (P=0.635).

The results of studies of coherently synchronized reactions of the decomposition of nitrous oxide and the oxidation of 3-methylpyridine in the gas phase are presented. The optimal conditions for obtaining the target products in this reaction have been identified. The influence of process parameters on the yield of reaction products is shown. Areas of selective oxidation of 3-methylpyridine were identified and optimal conditions for obtaining the target products were determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Women with perfect health are strong foundations of a healthy and prosperous family life and suppressing the natural needs of women will have adverse effects on the intimacy and vitality of family members, especially in the field of sexual function. This study aimed to determine the effect of GIM on the level of sexual function in women with sexual dysfunction., Materials and Methods: In this cluster randomized trial, which was conducted from 2018 to 2019 in the randomly selected comprehensive health centers of Isfahan, Iran, 72 women of reproductive age (two groups of 36 people) with sexual dysfunction were selected by convenience sampling method, and then, music-guided imagination was performed on the intervention group. No special intervention was performed in the control group. Data collection tools were demographic characteristics questionnaire and a standard questionnaire of the female sexual function index., Results: There was no statistically significant difference in sexual function and demographic characteristics before the intervention between the two groups ( P = 0/301). The results demonstrated that the overall score of sexual function in the intervention subjects was better than the control group ( P = 0/003). Improvement of sexual function dimensions (desire, arousal, orgasm) was also significant in the intervention group compared to the control group ( P < 0.05)., Conclusion: GIM can be effective in improving women's sexual function. Providing this technique as a low-cost and affordable method is recommended to health experts in private and government clinics. This method can improve the mental health of the family and society., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2024 Journal of Education and Health Promotion.)
