Abstract
Introduction: Assessment tools and questi-onnaires that are used in research to measure the achievement of research ob-jecttives must be standardized themselves to ensure the results. The aim of this study was to design the validity and reliability of osteoporosis prevention instrument based on health belief model in women.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 400 women, aged 30 to 50 years old, in Fasa city. After revi-ewing the related literature, a suitable instr-ument was designed and its content validity ratio, content validity index, face validity, and exploratory factor analysis were mea-sured. For measuring the reliability of the scales, three methods, including test-retest, internal consistency, and agreement were used. Data analysis was done using SPSS software.
Findings: Reliability of 42 items with imp-act score of 0.15 and content validity index of 0. 79 were evaluated based on explo-ratory factor analysis and classified into se-ven categories. The overall reliability, me-asured through Cronbach alpha, was 0. 87. Reliabilities of knowledge questionnaire, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, mot-ivation, self-efficacy, and cue to action were 0.86, 0.71, 0.82, 0.79, 0.82, 0.77, 0.79, and 0.77, respectively.
Discussion & Conclusion: This study prov-ided good evidence on the strength of factor structure and reliability of Health Belief Model structures for prevention of oste-oporosis women, according to the study of psychometrics process.

Abstract
Introduction: Medicinal herbs have a history as old as human creation and using them as a healing agent has been common all over the world since anci-ent times. Medicinal herbs have been also used in treating dysmenorrheal as one of the most common gynecological problems in women. In recent years, a variety of nutrition therapies have been used for the treatment of dysmen-orrheal. But considering that the use of any medication has side effects in addition to therapeutic effects, using chemical plants along the drug may be helpful in the treatment of dysme-norrheal. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of medicinal herbs in relieving the symptoms of dysmenorrheal among female students in Ardabil University of medical scie-nces.
Materials & Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study which was done on 90 female students in Ardabil Univ-ersity. Random sampling was done during 6
month in 2013, and the data collection instruments included demographic ch-aracteristics and visual pain scale. D-escriptive and inferential statistics were used for the data analysis.
Findings: The results of this study sho-w that there was a statistically signify-cant relationship between symptoms of pain before and after taking a com-bination of herbs (P=0.017).
Discussion & conclusion: The results of the study showthat the use of herbs (combination of fennel, chamomile and ginger) is effective in relieving the sy-mptoms of dysmenorrheal. Consid-ering the high prevalence of primary dysmenorrheal and Iran’s potential in the field of herbal medicine, herbal re-medies are recommended in dysmen-orrheal pain relief along with other treatments.

Abstract
Introduction: Premenstrual syndromes are among the disorders associated with reproductive age that includes physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral signs during the luteal phase that occurs periodically from 7 to 14 days before menstruation. These signs are not present at the begining of menstruation or during the first few days of bleeding. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of premenstrual syndromes in high school girls of Ilam during the year 2015.
Materials & Methods: This descriptive-analytic study has been performed on 266 single girl- students aged from 15 to 18 years, with the average age of 16.34, considered to have regular and natural menstruation cycles (with gaps of 21 to 35 days between each two menstruations lasting for 3 to 7 days). To assess the frequency of premenstrual syndromes, the prospective questionnaires (Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool: PSST) was used for two consecutive cycles. In this research, statistical tests such as Chi-square, Variance analysis, and Logistic regression were applied to analyze the data.
Findings: Based on our results, the frequency of medium or sever premenstrual syndromes was 36.84% and the frequency of premenstrual dysphoric disorder was 11.65%. According to logistic regression model, severe bleeding multiplies chances of the individuals suffering from dysphoric disorder by 5.1 times, while pain multiplies chances of the girls suffering from premenstrual syndrome about 4.1. There was a significant relation between the mild and severe premenstrual syndrome with pain, (P<0.001), and also between premenstrual dysphoric disorder and volume of bleeding (P<0.01). Investigating the mean for the 19 signs, the highest averages stood for fatigue, possession of physical signs, trouble or lack of concentration, reduction in interest of participation in normal routines, and anger; while the lowest average stood for over eating.
Discussion & Conclusion: Our research concluded that prevalence of such syndromes among Ilami's high school girl-students was relatively high. Considering the negative effects of these syndromes on physical condition as well as psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing of teenagers, and the significance of this period from the educational point of view, more investigations and interventional moves are recommended to manage these signs.
