Abstract

    Malassezia is a lipophilic fungus which has different species. Some of them can be found as a natural flora on skin and in an opportunistic condition may cause pityriasis versicolor. The present study was undertaken to identify, diagnose and determine the prevalence of different species of malassezia in patients referred to laboratory of medical mycology at the University of Shiraz during 12-month period. Out of 185 patients suspected to have pityriasis versicolor, only 98 patients were diagnosed to have it. Among these patients, 56 were female (51.4%) and 42 were male (55.3%). Patients’ age ranged between 13 to 55 with average of 25.78 years. Dixon Agar media was used for sample culture and in addition to morphological study, other tests such as Tween absorbance, catalase and esculin hydrolysis were performed to separate different species of malassezia including malassezia furfur (34%), malassezia slooffiae (18.7%), malassezia sympodialis (18.6%), malassezia globosa (17.59%), malassezia pakidermatis (5.4%) and malassezia restrikta (4.3%) from different parts of the body. Factors such as: age, sex, job, education, the use of pool, season of the year and geographic region were also evaluated by using different statistical methods such as: chi-squared test, Fisher & T-test. Results revealed that the use of pool and season of the year were the effective causes of the disease.

Abstract
 

Background: Heart disease is the most common cause of death that has increased in developing countries. Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is one of the treatment methods in these patients that have been used widely over the past decade. This study was performed with aim of resolving the issues related to lack of patients' familiarity with anesthesia and surgery and inattention to their training needs due to anxiety and dysfunction of hemodynamic statue.

 

Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 124 patients who were candidates for CABG were randomly assigned to either the test or control groups. Patients' anxiety was evaluated by Amsterdam questioner and checklist was used for recording hemodynamic variables. The collected data were analyzed using the paired, independent t test and ANOVA in the SPSS.

 

Results: There were no significant differences between demographic variables in two groups. There were no significant differences between patients' anxiety, hemodynamic status, educational needs at admission time and before surgery in control group but in the intervention group, anxiety of patients decreased after the intervention (p<0.001). Hemodynamic variables in two groups changed before surgery (p<0.05). There was significant relationship between gender, level of education and patients' anxiety (p<0.05).

 

Conclusions: Considering the benefits of education on patient’s anxiety and hemodynamic status, more attention should be given by health care providers to patient education.

Abstract
Background & Aims: High school students are in the period of adolescence, and adolescence is a complex period of growth that has always been considered more difficult than childhood years from the perspective of teenagers and parents. The adolescent years are an important stage of a person's social-psychological growth and development. Sudden and widespread changes that occur in all aspects of a teenager's life create a critical phase that will naturally bring problems and incompatibilities. The problems that exist in this period can prevent the use of all the abilities and potential of a person. Spiritual intelligence is one of the factors that have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years and is one of the valuable achievements of researchers in recent years. Spiritual intelligence is a framework for identifying and organizing required skills and abilities; In such a way that by using spirituality, the adaptability of a person increases. Spiritual intelligence is able to facilitate or enhance awareness or a sense of connection with a higher power or a sacred being. In general, the emergence of the structure of spiritual intelligence can be considered as the application of spiritual capacities and resources in practical contexts and situations. People use spiritual intelligence when they want to use spiritual capacities and resources to make important decisions and think about issues. existential or trying to solve daily problems. Recent studies have shown that spiritual beliefs and practices have a positive relationship with psychological well-being. Spiritual tendencies prevent the emergence of incompatible and destructive behaviors. In the discussion of spiritual intelligence, specifically or in general, the presence of adaptive applications can be effective. The results of research, especially in people who suffer from physical health problems, show a positive relationship between spirituality and adaptability, the results of studies conducted in the field of spiritual intelligence and psychological characteristics and physical consequences indicate that between spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being, there is a significant relationship. Therefore, another concept that has been the focus of researchers in the field of mental health in behavioral sciences in recent years is psychological well-being. New approaches to health emphasize being good instead of being bad or sick. They do not consider the absence of disease to be enough to feel healthy, rather they believe that having a sense of satisfaction with life, sufficient progress, a positive mood and proper communication with the community are the characteristics of a healthy person. Therefore, a therapeutic approach that can reduce people's psychological problems and improve their psychological well-being and quality of life is of great importance. One of the effective approaches in this field is the treatment based on mindfulness, which is highly effective for the treatment of clinical and mood disorders. The quality of students' learning in school depends on their peace and mental health. Mindfulness is a path towards well-being and effective coping with the inevitable challenges of life, and by facilitating health self-regulation behavior, it increases well-being. Therefore, the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being of first-year adolescent students.

The statistical population included all the students of Banu Nusrat Rahnama High School in Behrman city with a population of 135 people in 1402-1401, and 40 people were selected as the final sample by simple random sampling. The research tools included Bade's spiritual intelligence questionnaire (1389) and Rif's psychological well-being (1989). The results were analyzed using the statistical method of analysis of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni test.
Results: The results showed that the interaction effect between the measurement time and experimental groups (F(6,33)=26.99, P=0.000) is significant, in the result between the two groups at least in one of the stages. In other words, there is a significant difference between the measurement time and the experimental groups. Also, the results showed that the psychological well-being variable between the pre-test and post-test stages (P=0.000) (, pre-test-follow-up (P=-11.32, 0.000), there is a significant difference and the variable is increasing; but between the stages of post-test-follow-up (P=0.71, 1) , there is no significant difference. In the control group, the results showed between the pre-test-post-test stages (P=0.21, pre-test-follow-up (P=0.36). and post-test-follow-up (P=2.23, 0.112), there is no significant difference. In the variable of spiritual intelligence between the pre-test-post-test stages (P=7.39, 0.000 -= (, pre-test-follow-up (P=7.44, 0.000), there is a significant difference and the variable is increasing, but between the post-test-follow-up stages (P=18.139, 0.000) There is no significant difference. In the control group, the results showed that between the pre-test-post-test phases (P=0.12, pre-test-follow-up (P=28/1) (=-0, and post-test-consecutive (0.85, P=1.1), there is no significant difference.
Conclusion: The general results showed that mindfulness training is effective on spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being of first-year adolescent students. Also, in the follow-up, the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the spiritual intelligence and psychological well-being of first year adolescent students was permanent. Therefore, it is suggested to teach mindfulness techniques to students, develop training programs for teachers to familiarize with mindfulness techniques and implement these techniques during teaching.
