سیامین کنگره انجمن بین المللی برای پیشگیری از خودکشی از تاریخ 17 تا 21 سپتامبر 2019 میلادی برابر با 26 تا 30 شهریورماه سال جاری، در شهر دری–لاندندری (Derry-Londonderry) کشور ایرلند شمالی (Northern Ireland) برگزار گردید. از نظر تعداد شرکت کنندگان، کنگره امسال با 850 نفر شرکت کننده از 57 کشور جهان، بزرگترین کنگرهی برگزار شده در تاریخ شکلگیری انجمن بینالمللی برای پیشگیری از خودکشی محسوب می گردد.
شعار اصلی کنگره: "تخریب دیوارها و ساختن پلها" " Breaking down walls, building bridges" بیانگر تاریخ شهر دری است که در آن تا سالهای اخیر، بین پروتستانهای طرفدار انگلستان و کاتولیکهای طرفدار ایرلند جنوبی نزاع و درگیری وجود داشته است. اکنون با ساختن پل صلح بر روی رودخانه این شهر، دو گروه تلاش مینمایند تا به صلح پایدار نزدیک شوند. با این وجود، شعار "تخریب دیوارها و ساختن پلها" همچنین بیانگر این نکته مهم است که برای پیشگیری مؤثر از خودکشی، باید دیوارهای ناامیدی را خراب و پلهای امیدواری را برقرار نمود. در این تلاش خداپسندانه، همه افراد از جمله پزشکان، پرستاران، روانشناسان، روانپزشکان، کارکنان مراقبتهای اولیه بهداشتی، معلمان، نیروهای نظامی و انتظامی، مددکاران اجتماعی، نیورهای قضایی، خبرنگاران، خانوادههای افراد در معرض خطر خودکشی و ... باید نقش و سهم سازنده خود را ایفاء نمایند.
اینجانب افتخار آن را داشتم که به عنوان نمایندهای از ایران و در روز اول کنگره و به همراهی پروفسور آرنسمن (Arensman) از کشور ایرلند، کارگاهی را در زمینه "تدوین، اجرا و ارزشیابی استراتژیهای پیشگیری از خودکشی" طراحی و برگزار نمایم. در این کارگاه یکروزه که سی نفر از کشورهای مختلف جهان در آن شرکت نمودند، همکارانی از کشورهای اسکاتلند، ایرلند، لهستان، ژاپن و هند به بیان استراتژیهای پیشگیری از خودکشی در کشورهای خود پرداختند. سپس شرکت کنندگان به بحث و تبادل نظر پیرامون نقاط قوت و ضعف برنامههای پیشگیری از خودکشی در کشور خودشان پرداختند.
در همین کارگاه، گزارشی از برنامههای پیشگیری از خودکشی در منطقه مدیترانه شرقی سازمان جهانی بهداشت ارائه و در آن عنوان کردم که از بیست و دو کشور موجود در این منطقه، تنها کشور ایران است که دارای نظام جامع ثبت رفتارهای خودکشی و برنامههای علمی پیشگیری از خودکشی است. پیشرو بودن ایران در تدوین برنامههای پیشگیری از خودکشی در منطقه، خوشبختانه در سال 2017 میلادی به تأیید تیم بازدیدکننده متخصصان انجمن پیشگیری از خودکشی رسیده است. از این رو، به منظور به اشتراک گذاشتن تجربیات ایران در زمینه پیشگیری از خودکشی با سایر کشورهای منطقه، موفق به کسب موافقت اولیه انجمن بین المللی برای پیشگیری از خودکشی با برگزاری یک کارگاه تخصصی پیشگیری از خودکشی در منطقه مدیترانه شرقی سازمان جهانی بهداشت گردیدم.
اینجانب، همچنین در روز سوم کنگره و در سمپوزیوم "تدوین، اجرا و ارزیابی استراتژیهای پیشگیری از خودکشی: نقاط قوت و ضعف" به ارائه برنامههای پیشگیری از خودکشی در ایران و بررسی نقاط قوت و ضعف آن پرداختم. در این سمپوزیوم اعلام کردم که خوشبختانه در ایران برنامههای ملی پیشگیری از خودکشی با تکیه بر بستر شبکههای بهداشت و درمان کشور در حال اجرا است. با این وجود، این برنامهها به منظور رفع نقاط ضعف خود، در حال تجدید نظر بوده و این امیدواری وجود دارد که به زودی برنامهی تجدید نظر شده از طرف وزارت بهداشت، درمان و آموزش پزشکی ایران اعلام گردد.

Background and Objectives: Self-medication is considered as the most common form of self-care, which can compromise the health of various people in the community, especially students who are in a more prone environment for taking medications. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of self-medication and the factors affecting it among students and peers in Boukan city in 2016.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 600 students and nonstudent peer group of Boukan city were selected using cluster sampling and simple random sampling and studied in 2016. Data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using independent t-test and chi-square test.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of students' and peer group’s age were 21.41 ± 3.10 and 23.44±3.39 years (p=0.122), respectively. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of arbitrary use of drugs (p=0.448). Also, the most commonly used drugs in the studied participants were Acetaminophen, Cold tablets and Antibiotics. The unnecessary need to see a doctor, having no time to visit health centers and not considering the disease important were reported as the most common causes of self-medication.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there is a high degree of arbitrary use of drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop training and prevention programs to reduce this inappropriate behavior and to incorporate it in the future programs of the relevant organizations.

Background and Objectives: Few studies have been conducted on the physiological effects of sprint interval training (SIT) on athletes. The purpose of this study was to survey the effect of eight weeks of SIT on levels of lipocalin-2, lipid profile, body composition and some components of physical fitness of young female volleyball players.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, in Saghez city and in spring of 2018, eighteen 12-18 years young female volleyball players were randomly divided into two experiment (n=9) and control (n=9) groups. The experimental group, in addition to the routine volleyball exercises, performed the running-based anaerobic sprint test (RAST) protocol for eight weeks (three sessions per week), and the control group performed only routine volleyball exercises. Body composition indices, levels of lipocalin-2, lipid profile, speed, power, aerobic power, and anaerobic power were measured before and after the training period. To analyze the data, analysis of variance with repeated measurements test was used.
Results: In the experiment group, eight weeks of SIT with RAST did not significantly change the levels of lipocalin-2, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, body weight, body fat percentage, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, speed, and power (p>0.05), but increased aerobic (p=0.001) and anaerobic power (p=0.001). Also, high density lipoprotein levels were decreased in the control group (p=0.038).
Conclusion: It appears that adding SIT with RAST to the routine volleyball training program helps to improve aerobic and anaerobic power and maintain levels of high-density lipoprotein in young female volleyball players.

Background and Objectives: Sleeping is an essential part of living and poor quality sleep can lead to a variety of physical and mental disorders. On the other hand, job stress is one of the main effective factors in reducing productivity in organizations and causing physical and mental complications in personnel. The aim of this study was to determine the job stress and its association with sleep quality among employees of Bid Boland Gas Refinery, Behbahan, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, 180 employees of Behbahan Bid Boland Gas Refinery participated in 2017. The data were collected using the Osipow occupational stress questionnaire and Pittsburgh sleep quality index questionnaire. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analysis were used.
Results: The results of the study showed that the mean and standard deviation of job stress and sleep quality perceived by employees were 167.27±19.66 and 10.72±2.22, respectively. Furthermore, there was a positive significant correlation between these two indexes (p<0.001). The regression model demonstrated that sleep quality was significantly associated with "role insufficiency" ( =0.499, p<0.001) and "role boundary" ( =0.197, p=0.035), the dimensions of Osipow job stress questionnaire. The model coefficient of determination indicated that 30.6% of sleep quality index changes are specified by variables of role insufficiency and role boundary.
Conclusion: The results showed that there was a significant correlation between job stress and sleep quality. Therefore, it is recommended to the gas refinery authorities to design and perform some plans for reducing job stress and sleep quality problems.

Background and Objectives: Suicide is one of the most important public health problems especially within youth population. Whilst Islam condemns suicide, suicide attempts among Muslim youths have been reported more than youths from other religions. Therefore, an international research project has been developed with the aim of determining nonfatal suicidal behavior in students within Muslim majority countries, including Iran. Since each effective evaluation tool such as questionnaire must be valid and reliable, the aim of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Persian version of these international research questionnaires in Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences students in 2018.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 700 students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The content validity of the questionnaires was quantitatively investigated using the content validity index (CVI) and the content validity ratio (CVR). Confirmatory factors analysis was used to determine the construct validity. Reliability was also evaluated by internal consistency method and calculation of Cronbach's alpha coefficient.
Results: The range of CVR for the second scale was 0.09-1, for the third, fifth, and sixth scales were 0.27-1 and for the fourth, eighth and ninth scales were 0.45-1. The fitting of the estimated model was also proved based on the results of the confirmatory factor analysis. The range of Cronbach's alpha coefficient was estimated between very well to acceptable.
Conclusion: The results showed that the Persian version of the international proposal questionnaires on the study of nonfatal suicidal behavior had proper psychometric properties. Therefore, it can be used to determine the aspects of nonfatal suicidal behavior in Persian-speaking students.
