Social Support in Fighting Cancer Habib Aghabakhshi1 Esmail Rashedi2 Date of Receive: 2014/5/18 Date of Accept: 2014/6/7 Abstract The present research studied the effect of social support on the ability to cope with breast cancer in 100 female patients who suffered from the disease and referred to Taleghani Hospital as outpatients or inpatients. Employing a survey method, data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed to reveal that there is a direct and significant relationship between social support and the ability to cope with breast cancer. In addition, each one of the studying independent variables, i.e. tangible support, emotional support, affectionate support, informational support and positive social interaction support as well as formal and informal support and family support, had a direct and significant relationship with the ability to cope with the disease separately. Moreover, a multivariable regression analysis showed that among the independent variables studied, the most important is positive social interaction support. Other than the above results, the analysis of the relationship between demographic variables of age and education and the amount of social support and coping ability revealed that the demographic variable of age has a negative relationship with the amount of social support, i.e. the patients of older age received less social support compared with younger patients, and the demographic variable of education has a direct relationship with the amount of social support, as social support increases along with an increase in the level of education. In addition, there is a direct and significant relationship between education and coping ability. Therefore, the present research reinforces former theories and studies concerning the positive effect of social support on the ability to cope with cancer and improve one’s health.

The act of “the structure of welfare and social security comprehensive system” was designed for the purpose of universalism, regulation and integration in plans and activities related to the country’s social security. Therefore, the aim of the present article is to investigate this act and also discuss the different considerations existing around its approval as well as its implementation. The necessity of the article is because of the lack of an efficient social security that has become an essential institution in the structure of Iranian society. The lack of this system may result in an irreparable damage in the context of the social system because any change in the social security strategies may lead to changes in the social and economic structure of the country. In terms of methodology, this is a qualitative research on the basis of the descriptive-analytical technique for which three levels of analysis (finding the problem, knowing the problem and solving the problem) are taken into

Theoretically, concept of popular religioun provides possible to discuss popular features of social, cultural and religious practices in everyday life.

The Needs and Problems of the Elderly in Urban Areas: A Case Study of Central Qom Shahabedin Isalou[1] , Mahmoud Jomehpoor[2] , Ali Khaksari Rafsanjani[3] Resived: 01/07/2016 Accepted: 17/05/2017 Abstract According to evaluations, urban areas have not still provided suitable physical platforms for the attendance of the elderly as members of vulnerable groups who require support. Recognition of the needs and problems of the elderly as the target groups may lead to more effective results. The area under study was the streets of the central section of Qom where 150 elderly pedestrians (50 individuals in Eram Street, 50 individuals in Hadaf Street, 50 individuals in 19 Dey Street) were interviewed randomly. Data collection tools included questionnaires and also interviews. The findings indicated that leaving home and walking in the streets by the elderly is done with the purpose of meeting their subsistence needs (32%), emotional needs (31.33%), security needs (18%), participation in social life (10%) and recreational needs (8.66%) during which such restricting and threatening factors as stairs and rough surfaces, little understanding of street signs, lack of space for sitting along a path, fear of stumbling, collision with high- speed cars and automobiles and feel of insecurity may prevent them from their easy, safe and fair attendance in urban areas. The main demand of the elderly commuting in streets of the central part of Qom is that streets are designed in a way that cyclists and motor-vehicle drivers are prevented from entering sidewalks, installing railing alongside the ramps, providing safety when crossing the street. In the end, a number of solutions are suggested in the field of transportation planning based on the 3E-principle (engineering, education, enforcement) to be practiced in the urban planning.

purposive sampling strategy. In order to achieve the reality reconstruction, the interviews were analyzed in a process consisting of multi-step ordering, coding, pattern revealing, and typology. Despite some vulnerabilities, the results show that 16 types of power for children are discoverable which one can classify into two major categories of acquisitive and transmitted power. Primarily, these types of power are of the dependent, conditional, temporary, potential, illegitimate, instant, exhibitive, and short-rang essence, and they should be considered in the power-dependency network and the need for parents.

One of the most significant achievements of this problem has been the amplification of the activism potency and the potential dormant abilities of adolescent children as a result of adopting technological gadgets as a booster. The authors have investigated the analysis of the mentioned factors by conducting a field research in Tehran (regions 3, 6 & 11). For this purpose, the multi-dimensional theoretical and analytic approach was adopted concerning the relationship between technology and elements such as power, consumption, individualism, socialization, as well as language. The theoretical framework was inspired by the Structuration paradigm generated by Anthony Giddens. Furthermore, applying the semi-structural interview technique, 120 cases of 13-17 year-old adolescents were interviewed according to the theoretical and [1]. This article is from the Ph.D. thesis.

Abstract Developing critical thinking skills is considered one of the important missions of the educational system. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated with critical thinking of students in order to identify existing gaps and provide practical solutions for improving these skills. In the present study, cognitive, metacognitive and social constructivist theories were used as a theoretical framework. The research method is survey and its statistical society includes students of all academic levels at Allameh Tabataba'i University, School of Social Sciences. The stratified sampling method was adopted. To collect information, a self-made questionnaire and the California Critical Thinking Test Form B have been used. Data were analyzed using the SPSS software, Pearson correlation coefficient, independent samples t-test and ANOVA. The findings show that there is not a significant relationship between the level of socioeconomic status and academic performance of students and their critical thinking. But there is a significant relationship between the variables: gender, year of entering university, educational level and marital status of students with their critical thinking. Keywords: Critical Thinking, Academic Performance, Students, Social Sciences, Social Work, Socio-economic Status.

Abstract Based on traditions of qualitative research and grounded theory, the present research tries to study the dimensions of parent abuse (children’s violence against their parents) which is often kept secret by parents. Results of previous research suggest that considering the causes, context of the formation and consequences of this violence as well as its prevalence, parent abuse should be considered a social problem. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with 40 parents in Tehran, the instances of violence against parents were classified in three categories: emotional, physical, and financial aspects which in turn led to reactions from parents toward themselves, towards the child or towards a third person. The causes of violence were grouped in micro, meso and macro levels which could have implications for individuals and their families. Parental strategies against this phenomenon were categorized in two active and passive strategies. At the end, findings were articulated in a concept model. Although this study can have certain theoretical contributions to the field of family violence which has been neglected earlier, due to the small sample size, the generalizability of the results is not possible.

Abstract Reports and statistical data indicate the critical state of Iran in terms of happiness and its related indexes. On the other hand, a tumultuous lifestyle in a metropolis such as Tehran makes people susceptible to being depressed and unhappy. An increasing speed of life and many social and economic problems threaten the psychological health of people and affect the society in different social, economic and cultural dimensions as a result. This study is a correlational and cross-sectional one, which is performed using a survey method for the active population of Tehran (15-65 years) with a sample of 371 members (multistage cluster sampling). Accordingly, in this study, we seek to answer the question of “how social variables (social capital, social trust, social coherence and Social participation) and economic variables (unemployment and income) affect the active population's happiness in Tehran?”. To analyze the data, descriptive statistical analysis methods, inferential statistics and path analysis method are used. The results indicated that, there was a significant positive correlation between “social coherence, social participation and social trust” and “happiness”. Also, between “household income and age” and happiness. According to other results, there was no significant relationship between “educational level, employment status, gender and marital status of people” and “happiness”. Altogether, the path analysis model shows “social coherence, social participation, social trust, household income” has a significant positive effect on people's happiness and these variables can make up for 34 percent of the total variance of “happiness” changes. KeyWords: Happiness, Social Capital, Social Trust, Social Coherence, Social Participation, Income, Unemployment.

Abstract Social health means the appropriate and desirable role and function of the individual in the society and having appropriate social connections within the social networks in the society. On the other hand, cities, and especially metropolises, are faced with a multitude of social health problems and problems that all affect the individuals' physical and mental health. Due to the increasing importance of social health in the present study, this study aimed to investigate the important social determinants affecting social health. This study was conducted among 400 citizens living in District One of Tehran and was used theoretically to explain the subject from the theoretical point of view of Curie Keys and Shapiro. In the method section, the questionnaire survey and cluster sampling method were used to complete the questionnaire. The results showed that the four variables of social support, quality of life, social security and socioeconomic status all correlated with the dependent variable of social health and the independent variables listed were able to predict the social health variable. Accordingly, the highest predictor was related to the social support variable and then to life satisfaction, social security and socioeconomic status, respectively. Keywords: Social Health, Social Support, Quality of Life, Social Security, and Socioeconomic Status.

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the rights of the elderly to the city. The theoretical approach of the present study is based on Henri Lefebvre's theory of the "production of space" and "the right to the city" and the method of study is ethnographic. The technique of data collection used is observation and interview. Accordingly, 20 interviews were conducted through theoretical sampling. The results of the research show that sidewalks and streets are problematic for use, access, and availability for elderly people due to the high structure of concrete tables, inequality and disproportionate furniture; green spaces, cafes, alleys, and pathways are among the spatial sites of the neighborhoods that are determenants of facilitating the movement, settlement, and accommodation of the elderly but various defects deprive the elderly of memorizing, protecting and using the city. Social welfare and social organizations of the elderly have an unfavorable position for the elderly, and welfare services have been limited to medical and psychotherapy. The home for the elderly has become a supportive space against external hazards; it is more like a sanatorium than a place for the elderly to play a great deal of interaction. Finally, many psychological and existential injuries such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, and isolation, are not individualistic but are rooted in neglecting the right of the elderly to the city.

The purpose of this article, which is of a qualitative type, is to examine the actions of the broker in the story of Rabia and Baktash in Athar Neyshabouri's theology, based on the mediator theory as one of the components of individual help. Data were first collected by reference to library resources and note-taking methods and analyzed by relying on content analysis and inductive methods (part to whole). The results of the research show that the broker observes such items as: "Accurate knowledge of the client's problems and mastery in communicating with him", "Accurate knowledge of the client's initial position and take the necessary measures accordingly" and "Correct assessment of the client and those around him" The role of an individual helper has played an important role in the evolution of Rabia's epistemology and has played a pivotal and undeniable role in his realization of his spiritual abilities. By rehabilitating and motivating the main characters of the story, Dallaleh has provided a suitable platform for promoting their individual and social life. Despite these similarities, in some cases, the role of the broker has been different from the mediator function. Among other things, the broker has taken a biased and mostly one-sided approach to resolving Rabia's problems. Also, unlike the mediator who is present to resolve the dispute between the parties, Dallaleh has entered the narrative process to solve Rabia's personal problems.

The precise question in this article is how is sex related to understanding pain and how to deal with it? To answer this question, Grounded Theory and Semi-structured Interview Techniques were used. The sample includes 34 people who live in two neighborhoods of Taavon and Sadi in Semnan city. Targeted sampling and theoretical sampling were used for sample selection. Findings showed that the types of pain were identified in four paradigms (traditional health behavior), beautiful and fit body (modern health behavior), the body as a tool, and return to nature (postmodern health behavior). For women, especially in the traditional paradigm, the body as a tool of many pains is natural and completely feminine to endure. Men do not believe in natural pain. Imposed pain is seen between the sexes. In women, the imposed pain is more severe and is related to their feminine nature, but men associate the imposed pain with their breadwinner role. In the paradigm of a beautiful and well-proportioned body, women consider women's pain to be imposed, accept and endure the pain. In the paradigm of returning to nature, pain is also denied and is considered as a kind of consciousness.

AbstractThis study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of time perspective training on cohesive self-knowledge and stress management in Gypsy students in Tehran. The research method was semi-experimental pre-test-post-test with control and follow-up group. The statistical population of the study included 59 Gypsy students in Tehran who were studying in the sixth grade of elementary school in the academic year of 2019-2020. Thirty-two of these students were selected by targeted sampling and randomly divided into two groups (16 experiments and 16 controls). For this purpose, first the self-cognitive coherence questionnaires of Ghorbani et al (2008) and stress management of Wang et al (2007) were distributed among the mentioned students, then 32 people who had the lowest score were selected as the sample. The experimental group was exposed to the time perspective program for 10 meeting of 75 minute sessions. the control group received no training. In order to evaluate the stability measurement, the follow-up test group was followed up 2 months after the post-test run. . The results showed that the training of the time perspective training package had an effect on the self-awareness of the students of Gypsy in the post-test and follow-up stages (p < 0.001). Teaching time-saving eye training packages affected the stress management Gypsy students in the post-test and follow-up stages (p < 0.001). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that Gypsy students in Tehran have problems in the field of cohesive self-knowledge and stress management, in which time perspective training can be effective.

Historically, child poverty has been synonymous with family poverty and was estimated using quantitative methods and measuring the level of family income, in this article, using a qualitative method, we seek to recognize the lived experience of children. The main question of the article is in what dimensions do children experience material deprivation? In this article, the ethnographic method was used to collect information from 30 children aged 10 to 17 who have experienced a life of poverty. Data analysis was performed using conventional qualitative content analysis. Findings show that material deprivation in poor children is experienced as an intricate coil with complex inner and outer layers, Compared with their peers. The outer layer of material deprivation is not having proper clothing and the inner layer is not having enough food. However, the lack of food has irreversible physical effects on children, but because the type of food consumed is hidden from others, food is less important than clothes. In between these two levels, there are other issues of material deprivation, such as the desire to own private space and objects, as well as living in adequate housing away from family problems.

The dispersion of the study results reveals the need for a systematic review of research on mental health determinants in order to achieve a relatively comprehensive picture of the findings and challenges of the study. The purpose of this study is to identify and classify the variables related to mental health in Iranian society. The main question of the study is that in domestic research in 2006-2010, the subject of mental health has been considered by social science researchers in relation to what variables? Systematic review of 30 selected research articles shows that mental health is affected by 36 variables in four types of social, cultural, contextual and psychological, the product of social and cultural conditions. Social variables have the highest frequency in 36.6% of cases and psychological variables in 23.4% of cases have the least importance among the authors of the reviewed studies. This result indicates the importance of social conditions and confirms the global scientific findings regarding the greater share of social determinants - than individual and psychological determinants - in health and disease, and in particular health and mental illness. Cultural and contextual variables each separately in 30% of studies have attracted the attention of researchers. Lack of executive solution in studies, refusal of domestic researchers to use qualitative and interpretive methods, and disregard for the type of relationship between political structure and components with mental health are among the most central aspects neglected in the reviewed research.

The elderly are a section of society that as a growing population and also due to their physical and age characteristics have special cultural needs that require a special program and urban space. Therefore, the present study seeks to investigate the cultural needs of these groups.To obtain this information, a researcher-made survey and questionnaire was used among the elderly in Tehran. Sampling based on 22 districts of Tehran was done by multi-stage cluster sampling. For this purpose, in the 22 districts of Tehran, according to 800 people sample size (about 36 questionnaires for each district), A number of neighborhoods were selected and questionnaires were randomly filled in by referring to the doors of houses, places of gathering of the elderly such as: parks, Tarehbar Squares, Shahrvand Store and Metro. filled out questionnaires. Finally, this study showed that the needs of these groups are prioritized in the following order: 1- Need for skills training and knowledge promotion 2- Need to provide conference facilities 3- Leisure tour needs 4- Need for cultural and artistic training 5- Recreational and sports needs 6- Religious cultural needs 7- Need for public spaces. Also, based on the obtained results, the most important reasons for the elderly not welcoming the cultural centers and facilities created by the municipality are as follows: 1- Lack of information 2- Indifference and personal preoccupation 3- Lack of cultural centers in the place of residence and lack of access 4 - Lack of interest 5- Low quality of facilities.

Problem is the basic pillar of science and in this field of knowledge, problem finding is the most important activity. These propositions are the assumptions on which the present article is based. This article is a discussion of theoretical considerations and therefore, it lacks empirical evidence and observations derived from it. In this research, an attempt has been made to study the status of the problem in social science research and the knowledge requirements of problem finding based on the teaching of philosophy of science. Hence, the nature of the problem and its importance have been considered in social research. That problems are the beginning and the end of the search for scientific truth, and in the cognitive realm, problem finding takes precedence over problem solving. On the other hand, the extent and complexity of social problems and the context of their occurrence, their historical nature and the instability of cognition and its reasons have been discussed. In the following, some of the cognitive considerations and necessities of doing social research have been introduced in a reasoned manner, which are necessary to move in the direction of living and dynamic knowledge. Among these considerations, epistemological, ontological and methodological assumptions have a special status, because they determine the logic and position of the researcher towards the research reasoning system.
