Method: International and local databases were electronically searched. Hand searching, reviewing reference lists and personal communications were also done. 11 studies on attitude and knowledge and one study on satisfaction were selected after reviewing full texts of the documents. Results: Most studies were on Behvarzes and general population and few studies assessed other groups. Knowledge of the studied groups were higher than average in most studies. The only satisfaction study suggested a medium, high, and low satisfaction of general population from interpersonal and care delivery, time and cost benefit, and treatment outcomes, respectively. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude of the personnel and general population seems to be average or higher in most studies. This could be partly due to implementation of the integration program.

Gathering information about the community psychiatry residency programs in other countries could help us in planning and development of an Iranian program. The aim of the current study was to review the programs in different countries. Method: A comprehensive search was performed in various databases using specific keywords such as “residency”, “community”, and “psychiatry”. Moreover, the published training programs of the universities in different countries were obtained. Results and Conclusion: Training varies considerably across different university departments both in the content and methods of the training and duration of the courses. This variation may be due to different needs and/or available community settings. However, some common features emerge for example, didactic teachings are integrated in most programs, residents actively participate in delivering community-based services (such as those in community mental health centers and outreach services), and learning how to work in team-based services is a main objective.}, Keywords = { Community psychiatry, education, medical, review}, volume = {17}, Number = {2}, pages = {99-105}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1342-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1342-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2011} } @article{ author = {Hajebi, Ahmad and AhmadzadAsl, Masoud and Zaman, Mahyar and Naserbakht, Morteza and Mohammadi, Navid and Davoudi, Farnoush and SaberiZafarghandi, Mohammadbagher}, title = {Designing a Registration System for Suicide in Iran}, abstract ={Objectives: The goal of the present study was to design a registration system for recording suicide in Iran, capable of designing identification pathways, registration, and report and follow-up of suicide cases and deaths due to suicide. Method: Through library assessments and surveying suicide registration systems in other countries (Denmark, India and WHO), potential methods of suicide in Iran were identified also, potential methods of identifying suicide cases in the country were designed and finalized subsequent to group consultation. Results: Suicide registration forms were designed, using the collected data. In this system: 1- The Health and Treatment Network is considered to be the appropriate site for the collection of data related to suicide, 2- Instances of suicide deaths and suicide attempts will be completely registered, 3- Data will be gathered from treatment centers and other contributing centers in general monthly forms, 4- Mental health attendants will enter the data into the computer system each month, in the suicide registration center affiliated to the health and treatment center, 5- The system will be primarily executed in two universities, 6- Training of target group (managers and personnel) in the primary stages of execution is important. Conclusion: The launch of the system for recording suicidal behavior in the country is the first essential step in the control and prevention of suicide. }, Keywords = { suicide, registry system, Iran}, volume = {17}, Number = {2}, pages = {106-109}, publisher = {Iran University of Medical Sciences and Health Services}, url = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1343-en.html}, eprint = {http://ijpcp.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1343-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology}, issn = {1735-4315}, eissn = {2228-7515}, year = {2011} } @article{ author = {Bolhari, Jafar and Zojaji, Ali and Karimi-Kisomi, Issa and Nazari-Jeirani, Mahboobeh and Tabaee, Sakineh}, title = {Urban Mental Health Service: Primary Health Care Model with Community Participation}, abstract ={Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the degree of efficiency of mental health education for non-psychiatrist medical specialists in attracting public cooperation and the provision of mental health in the form of an urban cooperative model. Method: The residents of districts 11, 16, and 18 in municipality area 6 of Tehran were considered as the covered community. 20 volunteers (as mental health contact), three individuals with master degree in clinical psychology or consultation, three psychiatrists, and 15 non-psychiatrist specialists (all from municipality area 6) comprised the subjects of the present study and voluntarily participated in this research. Data were gathered using quantitative (demographic questionnaires, specialists’ survey, and mental health contact survey) as well as qualitative (registering observations and experiences) methods. Data analysis was done via SPSS-15 and using dependent t-test. Results: The findings revealed that the scores of the volunteers and specialists changed from pretest to post-test (p≥0.002). Also, urban mental health contacts identified the districts’ patients subsequent to the training, and referred them to consultation centers, medical specialists, and district hospitals.

Method: 62 women with substance dependence and three service providers, from “Chitgar” and Khaneh Khorshid” treatment centers, participated in this qualitative study. The participants were interviewed during seven sessions of focused group discussion as well as 23 sessions of in-depth individual interviews. Data were gathered using a directory list, and the topics of the list were established based on discussions with the authorities of the mentioned centers, as well as text assessment. The problems of addicted females were divided into general problems, problems related to the treatment period, and post-treatment problems. Also, two separate lists were designed for single and married women. Sessions and interviews were continued to the point of data saturation. Results: Most women considered social stigma, humiliation, family rejection and severe poverty as their major problems. More than one fourth of the subjects were homeless and more than half had experienced physical or sexual abuse in the past. Insufficient numbers of female physicians and the lack of health consultation and education, unsafe environment and inadequate health and welfare facilities, were among the most important limitations. There was also a shortage of psychosocial services, including shelters, vocational activities and care for children in both centers.

Method: The present descriptive correlational study was carried out on married women presenting to District Health Centers in the year of 1387. Based on socio-economic status, city districts were divided into low (40 centers), medium (30 centers), and high (15 centers). Thereafter, based on the size and extension of each level, a number of centers were randomly chosen from each district, and finally 396 individuals, who were selected through convenience sampling, completed the Five Factor Inventory and Spouse Abuse Questionnaire. Data analysis was done via SPSS-16 and using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Results: Neuroticism, conscientiousness, and extraversion predicted psychological and physical, sexual, and physical violence respectively (p<0.05). Male addiction, male and female age, male education, duration of marriage and not having a child also played roles in the prediction of different types of aggression (p<0.05).
