Introduction: Breast cancer is considered as a cause of death in women. In developed countries, one out of every nine women are diagnosed with this type of cancer. The prevalence of this disease is increasing in Iran and patients with breast cancer in our country are about 10 years younger than similar patients in western countries. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between protection motivation, perceived self efficacy and perceived response costs by behavior of breast self-examination in volunteers in Mashhad, 2012.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 410 health volunteers above age 20 years who were selected by stratified sampling method from population covered by urban health centers of Mashhad. Each of 1 to 5 health centers of Mashhad was considered as a class. Cases were selected and studied from each class, proportional to the number of covered volunteers of that health center. Data were collected by self-report questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS software version 18 and statistical t-test, Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression. P value less than 0.05 was considered significance.
Results: The mean age of participant was 34.8±9.3 years. The Pearson correlation was shown a significant correlation between perceived response costs (r=-0.093, p<0.001), protection motivation (r=0.497, p>0.001), perceived self-efficacy (r=0.233, p<0.001) and behavior of breast self-examination.
Conclusion: This study had shown the effectiveness of protection motivation, perceived response costs, perceived self-efficacy to emphasize the behavior of breast self-examination. Thus, reducing the perceived costs of breast self-examination in women can be regarded as a principle in education to facilitate the adoption behavior.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus is one of the main maternal problems during pregnancy that can make many complications for mother and fetus. Various studies have reported different prevalence of this problem. Since little studies have been done to estimate the total prevalence of gestational diabetes in Iran; we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis study to estimate the prevalence of gestational diabetes in Iran. Methods: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis of gestational diabetes in Iran. By searching the SID, Magiran, Irandoc, Medlib, Google, PubMed and ISI-Web of Science databases, 21 published articles between 1992 and 2008 were found which performed in Iran. Results of the studies were combined using random-effects model for meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among studies was assessed using the I2 index. To investigate the relationship between prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus and years of study and sample size meta-regression was used. Data were analyzed using STATA software version 11.2. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: In 21 studied articles, the prevalence of gestational diabetes estimated 4.9% (CI%95:3.9-5.8). The lowest and highest prevalence of gestational diabetes were 0.7% in the province of Kermanshah and 18.6% in the province of Karaj. Conclusion:Due to the differences in prevalence of GDM in Iran, It is proposed for identifying reasons for these differences, Research takes place in a provincial screening. With proper planning and health policies, the rising prevalence of the disease and its complications could be prevented.
