Abstract
Background and Objective: Self-efficacy, one's belief in his ability to succeed in different situations, can have positive or negative effects on mental health. Students are considered as the community builders, and thus paying attention to their psychological dimensions is a paramount importance to health of community. This study aimed at determining the relationship of self–efficacy and mental health with academic achievement of students in Bam nursing school.
Material and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on all students with eligibility criteria in 2011. The instruments were General Self–Efficacy Scale (GSES), Symptom Checklist-25 (SCL-25) and Grade Point Average (GPA) for academic achievement. To analyze the data, we used Ttest, ANOVA and Pearson correlation.
Results: The level of self-efficacy was weak in 3.6 %, moderate in 84.8 % and strong in 11.5% of students. Regarding mental health aspects, the highest score was related to psychotism and depression (4.21) and the lowest to Obsessive-compulsive (3.43). The mental health of students with strong self-efficacy was higher than that of others. GPA was not correlated significantly with self-efficacy (p=0.44, r=0.062) and mental health status (p=0.96, r=0.044).
Conclusion: Mental health and academic achievement are not adequate therefore, we recommend planning some educational program based on self-efficacy theory to improve both mental health and academic achievement.

Abstract
Background: Today, one of the key ways to promote Sexual and Reproductive Health of women is to attract men's participation in this field. Since there are challenges in our information about men's knowledge of their role in this field, the present study was designed to determine men's knowledge of their participation in women's sexual and reproductive health and its predictive factors in Iranian men.
Methods: The present study was designed and psychometrically analyzed the men's knowledge about their participation in sexual and reproductive health and then their knowledge was evaluated and described. In order to design the tool, the basics were prepared by interviewing and reviewing the texts.
Then, face (qualitative and quantitative), content (qualitative and quantitative), structure (convergent and discriminant) validity, and reliability of the scale were assessed. Then, in a descriptive-analytic study, 449 men were selected by convenience method from health centers, Nowshahr and Chalus cities in Mazandaran province.
Inclusion criteria included married men over 15 years of age with at least a fifth grade literacy in Farsi who came to health centers and who volunteered to participate in the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire (designed by the research team). The minimum knowledge score was 39 and the maximum was 195.
Results: Face (qualitative and quantitative (impact score>1.5)), content (qualitative and quantitative (CVR>0.62 and CVI>0.70)), structure (convergent and discriminant) validity, and reliability of the scale (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.7) were acceptable for all factors as well as internal consistency and structural reliability based on standard indices.
Confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis extracted six items of 28 items: "emotional and gender attention", "support for girls", "attention and supply of sexual and reproductive health needs", "violence avoidance", "responsibility" and "reproductive rights" with 28 items. The six-factor fitting of men's knowledge tool was confirmed by standard indices.
14.5% of the participants had a under school diploma. Most of them (76.4%) reported average household income. The maximum age of 72 was at least 23 and their mean age was 42.6. The results showed that the mean score of men's knowledge was 127.45 ± 8.33 and the maximum was 140, at least 86. Significant predictors in the regression analysis were forced marriage (B = -10.676), economic violence (B = -1.381), and having a history of abortion (B = -2.022).
Conclusions: The findings of the study showed that men's knowledge is inversely correlated with men's economic violence against women and forcing young people to choose a partner against their own inner desires and also with unwanted pregnancy and abortion. Therefore, policymakers and managers are recommended to pay close attention to increasing men's knowledge and it’s predictive to prevent these three inappropriate social phenomena.

Abstract
Background: Endometriosis refers to the presence of endometrial tissue (endocrine glands and stroma) outside of the uterine cavity. The prevalence of this disease is approximately 10% of women in the general population. Since there is no definitive treatment for endometriosis, medical and surgical treatment often reduces more symptoms and it prevents the progression of the disease while each of them encompasses a special side effect. CAM treatments (Complementary and Alternative Medicine) are non-pharmacologic interventions that reduce pain and mood disorder and also help to improve women's quality of life through mind and body interventions. The aim of this study was to address non-pharmacological interventions in endometriosis pain management.
Methods: This study was a review that for compile this article, at first search was done in Google Scholar database and more specifically in Persian databases such as Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Iranmedex and English databases like PubMed, Springer, Scopus, Web of Science, Science Direct with key words such as endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, hypnotisis, cognitive behavioral therapy and massage and articles related with the topic of this article were searched from 2000 to 2017. A total of 400 articles were searched that in abstract screening stage 122 articles were deleted due to being duplicate and 256 articles were deleted due to the lack of relevance with the objectives of the study and finally after reviewing the full text of articles, 22 articles were used for writing this study.
Results: The results of reviewing studies regarding the non-pharmacological treatments methods for endometriosis were organized in 6 main categories. 1. Moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine that involves of moxa at specific points of the body, 2. Medicinal herbs such as Astragalus, Ginkgo and Ginseng, 3. Massage therapy, 4. Psychological interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, 5. Acupuncture, such as ear and body acupuncture, 6. Chinese Enema.
Conclusions: It seems that non-pharmacological treatments reduce the pain score in patients with endometriosis. These treatments can be proposed as common methods to treat patients with painful conditions of reproductive system including endometriosis. However, further studies on this issue should be conducted with larger samples with specified pain conditions.

Abstract
Background: Men's participation is an important strategy in achieving the goals of the Third Millennium Development such as empowering women and promoting maternal health. Men's participation includes responsibilities and their participation in the vital aspects that promote the promotion of sexual and reproductive rights and health for men and women in society. The purpose of this study was to determine men's attitude towards their participation in women's sexual and reproductive health and its predictive factors in Iranian men.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study. The men were selected by convenience method from health centers, laboratories and dental clinics of Nowshahr and Chalus cities in Mazandaran province. A total of 449 men (≥15 years) were married at least once. Demographic information was collected using a demographic questionnaire and attitudes toward participation in sexual and reproductive health with an attitude questionnaire (designed and researched by the research team).
Results: Among the participants (n = 449), all men were married, their mean age was 42.6, and 14.5% of them had a under school diploma. Most of them also reported moderate (76.4%) household income. Minimum attitude score was 38 and maximum was 190. The results showed that the mean score of men's attitude was 98.97 ±6.92 and the maximum was 105, its minimum was 65. Significant predictors were in the regression analysis of temporary marriage (B = - 0.210) and physical violence (B = - 0.170). Both variables (physical violence and temporary marriage) were inversely correlated with men's participation in sexual and reproductive health.
Conclusions: According to the results of this study, there is a need for serious training and efforts and prevention of violence, including physical violence of men against women, in order to promote men's attitude to participation in women's sexual and reproductive health. Promoting permanent marriage rather than temporary marriage is also offered to those in the cultural sphere.
