Publication of Trials’ Protocol by JRUMS
محسن رضائیان[1]،[2]
کارآزماییها، بهترین و کاملترین نوع مطالعات اپیدمیولوژیک هستند که میتوانند منجر به تأیید یا رد یک رابطه علیتی شوند [1]. از همینرو، در طراحی این گونه مطالعات و نگارش نتایج آنها، میبایست ظرافت و دقت زیادی به خرج داد [2]. انواع گوناگونی از کارآزماییها با طراحیهای متفاوت وجود دارند که از جمله میتوان به کارآزماییهای بالینی، کارآزماییهای میدانی و کارآزماییهای مداخلات اجتماعی اشاره نمود [3].
معمولاً برای هر کارآزمایی میتوان پنج مرحله در نظر گرفت: تولید ایده کارآزمایی و برنامهریزی آن، ثبت کارآزمایی، انجام کارآزمایی، تجزیه و تحلیل دادهها و انتشار نتایج حاصل از مطالعه. تمامی جزئیات این پنج مرحله باید ابتدا در پروتکل (Protocol) مطالعه شرح داده شوند. نگارش پروتکل کارآزمایی و تأیید آن در یک کمیته اخلاق معتبر، از جمله پیششرطهای لازم برای انجام هر کارآزمایی است [4]. با وجود این، آنچه که در سالهای اخیر بر روی آن تأکید شده است ثبت، چاپ و انتشار پروتکل کارآزماییها در یک نشریه معتبر میباشد [5-4].
این نکته سبب خواهد شد که قبل از اجرای کارآزمایی، پروتکل آن توسط داوران مجله مورد بازبینی قرار گیرد و در صورت نیاز، کیفیت آن ارتقا پیدا کند [5]. همچنین، ایده خلاقانه و نوین کارآزمایی خیلی زود و قبل از اجرای آن، به اسم طراحان کارآزمایی ثبت گردد. به علاوه، جزئیات بسیار دقیق و موشکافانه کارآزمایی که ممکن است نتوان آن را در مقاله نهایی به تفصیل شرح داد، در پروتکل منتشر شده به صورت کامل آورده شوند. در نهایت، برای کارآزماییهایی که انجام آنها ممکن است چند سال طول بکشد، چاپ پروتکل آن در اولین فرصت ممکن، اقدامی بسیار مفید خواهد بود [4].
با توجه به اهمیت حیاتی کارآزماییها در سلامت فرد و جامعه و با توجه به ضرورت چاپ پروتکل این مطالعات، مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی رفسنجان آمادگی خود را برای انتشار چنین پروتکلهایی اعلام میکند. بدیهی است که مانند سایر مقالات، پروتکلهای ارسالی نیز مورد مرور همتایان قرار خواهند گرفت. از همینرو، پیش از چاپ، حداقل یک داور روششناس و یک داور تخصصی، پروتکل مطالعه را به دقت مورد بررسی قرار خواهند داد.

Background and Objective: Emotion dysregulation plays a vital role in mental pathology and abnormal personality dimensions can be of significant importance in modification of interpersonal relationships and emotion dysregulation. In regard to considerable individual differences in emotion regulation strategies, the present study was conducted aiming at examination of the structural relationship between abnormal personality dimensions and emotion dysregulation in students of Shahid Madani University of Azerbaijan and Islamic Art University of Tabriz in 2016.
Materials and Methods: This was a discriptive study. The population included all students of Azerbaijan Shahid Madani University and Islamic Art University of Tabriz in 2016, among whom 289 individuals were selected based on convenient sampling. Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale and the abridged form of Abnormal Personality Dimensions (PID-5-BF) questionnaire for DSM-5 were utilised as research tools. Data was collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics (avmean and standard deviation), Pearson’s correlation cofficient, and structural equation modeling.
Results: In this research, significant factor pathways depicted that abnormal personality dimensions indexes are positively related to emotion dysregulation (p< 0.010), such that negative affectivity with lack of emotional clarity (β = 0.19, P= 0.022), antagonism with non-acceptance of emotional responses (β = 0.27, P= 0.021), disinhibition with impulse control difficulties (β = 0.19, P= 0.011), and Psychoticism with difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior (β = 0.23, P = 0.034) revealed stronger correlations.
Conclusion: Findings of the present study indicated that abnormal personality traits have significant effect on emotion dysregulation, and this relation can explain a large number of interpersonal difficulties linked to abnormal personality traits; therefore, one can, to some extent, improve these problems by proposing psychological strategies.

Background and Objective: Cultural competence, health and social support, and moral courage have basic role in promoting the culture of organ donation. This study aimed to determine the relationship between cultural competence and health and social support in attitudes to organ donation with the mediation of moral courage.
Materials and Methods: The study was a descriptive study based on the structural model which was conducted on 369 people having organ donation cards and residing in the provinces of North West (Zanjan, Ardebil, East and West Azerbaijan) in 2016. The participants were selectd by simple random sampling method. For gathering the data, Organ Donation Attitude Questionnaire of Tihana and Izvorni, Cultural Competence Questionnaire of Perng and Watson, Keyes’ Social Health Questionnaire, Ghasemipour and Jahanbakhsh Ganje Social Support Questionnaire, and Moral Courage Scale of Sekerka were used. The data was analyzed using Pearson correlational coefficient and Bootstrap.
Results: The results indicated that the model was fitted and the direct relationships between cultural competence (P=0.044, r=0.15), social health (P=0.001, β=0.62), social social support (P=0.049, β=0.13), and moral courage (P=0.019, r=0.22) with attitudes to organ donation were significant. The indirect relationships between cultural competence (P=0.001, β=0.25), social health (P=0.001, β=0.25), and social support (P=0.002, β=0.23) with mediating of moral courage were also significant.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, it seems that strengthening the cultural competence, social health, social support, and moral courage by individual and group training, can increase people's positive attitudes towards organ donationand obviate the need to transplantation.

Background and Objective: Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) model is one of the methods for studying occupational stress in the workplaces. Considering there has been no comprehensive study on the determining of effective individual and organizational parameters in Iran, the aim of this survey was to detect the parameters affecting perception of ERI in workers in the workplaces in Iran.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was executed by using the results of Iran Psychosocial Workplace Survey (IPWS) on 1116 employees of different levels of work in 2015-16. Data gathered using the ERI Questionnaire and a comprehensive list of individual and organizational parameters. To identify factors associated with ERI, multivariable logistic regression model was used. Results were reported as odds ratio (OR)with 95% of confidence interval.
Results: ERI is reported in almost 50% of workers. After eliminating confounders, the logistic regression model indicated that parameters like education level (OR= 1.507, P= 0.033), having exercise (OR= 0.375, P= 0.034) and having right for choosing work-rest schedule (OR= 1.878, P= 0.002) as promoters and parameters like having second job (OR=2.069, P=0.008), perception of co-worker shortage (OR= 2.415, P <0.001) and having shift work system for work (OR= 1.822, P <0.001) act as disruptive parameters for ERI situation in the workplaces.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study it can be mentioned that if intervention is requisite for improving Effort-Reward situation, parameters like education level, having exercise and having right for choosing work-rest schedule, having second job, perception of co-worker shortage and having shift work system for work should be adjusted.

Background and Objective: Vaginal infections are the most common infections that women are getting for primary reasons such as poor knowledge and practice. Change of knowledge and practice requires consideration of individual, environmental, and social factors that the PRECEDE-PROCEED model is widely used for this purpose. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of educational intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model on prevention of vaginal infections in Jiroft city women.
Materials and Methods: In this educational trial study, among three health centers in the city of Jiroft, two centers were selected by simple random sampling. So that one of the centers (Late Maleki center) was considered as the test group and the other center (number one center) was considered as the control. Of each center, 58 married women were selected by systematic random sampling method. Data gathering tool was a questionnaire constructed by the researcher based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. Educational interventions related to women infections were performed in 8 sessions for the intervention group. Data were collected before and two weeks after the intervention and analyzed using chi-square test, Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.
Results: The results showed that both intervention and control groups in terms of education, age, and employment status were matched (p>0.05) The mean difference (before and after) predisposing factors (knowledge and attitude), reinforcement factors, enabling factors, and behavior in the intervention and control groups were significantly different from each other (p<0.05), so that the intervention group increased significantly after the intervention.
Conclusion: Due to the effects of educational intervention through PRECEDE-PROCEED model to improve preventive behaviors of vaginal infection, providing educational programs for women may help them in the promotion of safe behavior about vaginal infections.

Background and Objective: Due to the disruption of the body’s natural posture because of the loss of interior arch of the foot in people with foot pronation, which may change amount and direction of forces and muscles electrical activity exerted on the foot during running movement, the purpose of this study was to compare ground reaction forces and muscles electrical activity of the ankle during running movement in young men with normal and pronation feet.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, from male students of Physical Education and Sport Science in Khwarizmi University (2016), 15 people with pronated foot deformity and 15 healthy people were selected as subject. Force plate was used to measure ground reaction force. Surface electromyography signals were recorded during the running test by using an Electromyography that was simultaneous with force plate. To analyze data, MATLAB was used, and to describe data, mean and standard deviation were measured. Independent t-test was used to compare the two groups.
Results: The findings indicated there was a statistically significant difference in the medial-lateral direction between normal and pronated foot groups during the running movement in the variable of peak ground reaction force (p=.018). In the variable of muscles electrical activity during running, a significant difference was observed in the tibialis anterior (p=.02) and peroneus longus (p=.01) muscles between the two groups.
Conclusion: According to the results, it seems that foot pronation can be regarded as a factor affecting the biomechanics of side cut with a change in the medial-lateral ground reaction forces and muscles electrical activity during running movement.
Key words: Pronation of the foot, Ground reaction forces, Electrical activity of muscles, Running, Young men

Background and Objective: According to the importance of health systems, assessing the different aspects of health care service quality comes into necessity. This assessment has not been done in Rafsanjan School of Dentistry yet. The purpose of this study was assesing and analysing the existing gap within service performance quality in clinical departments of this school.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out in 2016-2017 academic year. Participants were 180 patients of clinical departments of Rafsanjan Dental School. Data were collected by SERVQUAL standard questionnaire which assesses quality of services in six dimentions and 31 questions and then analysed. In data analysis, independent t- test, paired t -test and one-way ANOVA were used.
Results: A significant gap (p<0.001) was reported in all dimentions of the questionnaire and between expectations and perceptions. The largest gap pertained to the dimention of accessibility (-1.57±0.91) and the lowest was related to the dimention of assurance (-1.37±0.58). The total mean of gap of this questionnaire was calculated -1.24±0.34 for this faculty. "In time service providing” had the largest gap among all of the questions (-2.26±1.06). Largest gap between clinical departments was reported for oral medicine department (-2.40±0.63).
Conclusion: Regarding to lack of relative satisfaction which was seen in all dimentions, measures, and clinical departments, requirement of effective planning for reducing each departments gap and promoting service quality look urgent.

Background and Objective: Maternal physical activity during pregnancy has been associated with promoting the skills of offsprings and their development; however, many mothers reduce their activity during this period. Due to lack of sufficient studies in this field, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of physical activity during pregnancy on social development among offsprings in the first and three months of life.
Materials and Methods: This trial was performed on 40 mother-infant pairs who were clients of health care centers in Bojnourd during 2015-2016. The samples were randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group benefited from 16 sessions physical intervention and the control group did not have any regular physical activities. Finally, communication and personal-social skills of infants in both groups were evaluated by Ages and Stages Questionnaire III (ASQ 3) in two periods of one and three months. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA (2 × 2).
The results showed that in communication skill subscale, the main effect of group (F1=39.04, P=0.001) and the main effect of time (F1=90.13, P=0.001) were significant, but the interaction between the group and time effect (F1=0.495, P=0.487) was not reported significant. In contrast, there was a statistically significant difference in personal-social skill in the variables of group (F1=29.53, P=0.001) and time (F1=87.95, P=0.001). Also, the interaction of two variables was significant and selected training impacted the personal-social skill of infants in one and three months (F1=6.54, P=0.015).
: According to the findings, it seems that activity in pregnancy can lead to improvement of social skills of infants and also, its effects are persistent during the time. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women do physical activities with medical approval.
