Abstract
Aims
This study aimed to determine the predictors of physical activity (PA) behavior in obese and overweight women in Borazjan district, south of Iran based on social cognitive theory (SCT).
Methods
This cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 398 obese or overweight middle-aged women referring to comprehensive health centers in Borazjan city. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version-22 and descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.
Results
Based on Pearson correlation analysis, the constructs of SCT including self-efficacy, self-regulation, outcome-expectations and perceived social-support from family and friends were related to physical activity behavior and energy expenditure. The multiple regression model showed self-efficacy and self-regulation were the most important predictors of PA behavior (R2 = 0.217). Self-efficacy predicted PA behavior in both obese and overweight women and self-regulation in obese women and perceived social-support from friends in overweight women, also was predictors.
Conclusion
Considering the results of the study that showed differences in predictive constructs of PA between two groups of overweight and obese women, it can be used to design and develop educational interventions to encourage overweight and obese women to do more PA and enhance their health status throughout a more active lifestyle.

perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy in proper consumption of junk
foods were 55.66 ± 20.95; the mean frequency of junk food consumption among the students was
reported to be 6.17 ± 3.18 times. There was a significantly inverse associations among perceived
self-efficacy, severity, and benefit and junk food consumption. The mean frequency of junk food
consumption in the schools under investigation was 6.67 ± 3.62 times.
Conclusion: Considering the consumption of relatively high amounts of junk foods, the students’ low

The health literacy of pregnant mothers can affect the pregnancy health and also the health of the baby by improving the quality of prenatal care. Understanding the most important factors affecting the health literacy of pregnant women is very important. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between health literacy level and socioeconomic status among primigravida womenin Bushehr, Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 100 primigravida women referring to the comprehensive health centers of Bushehr were randomly selected. Health literacy standard questionnaires (FCCHL) and socioeconomic status questionnaire (SES) were used to collect data. Data were analyzed by SPSS v.22 software.
Results: The mean age of participants was 26.96 ± 4.84. The highest score of health literacy was in the functional and the lowest score was in the critical domain. Employed pregnant women had better communicational (p=0.002, z= -3.12) and critical health literacy (p=0.006, z=-2.938). There was a direct and significant relationship between socioeconomic status and critical health literacy; participants with higher levels of socioeconomic status had a higher level of critical health literacy (p = 0.04, r = 0.206).
Conclusion: It is necessary to pay attention to women with low socioeconomic status in order to improve their health literacy level and provide health services and appropriate education.

Background and Objective: The skills that are required for understanding and applying health information to everyday life have been conceptualized as health literacy. Limited health literate people have more health problems, given that health promoting behaviors can play a protective role for people's health, therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between health literacy and health promoting behaviors.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 402 individuals over 18 years of age referred to the health centers (in the city of Bushehr, south of Islamic Republic of Iran), completed the (FCCHL) scales for assessing health literacy, (HPLP II) for assessing health promoting behaviors and a demographic questionnaire. The sampling method in this study was two-stage cluster sampling. Multiple regression model was performed in the analysis using R software (version 3.3.2) to predict health literacy outcome.
Results: Functional, communicative and critical health literacy were related to some aspects of health-promoting behaviors but not to all. All the health literacy subscales were significant predictors of health responsibility and none of them predict interpersonal relations.
Conclusions: Health literacy plays an important role in successful health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, but the impact differs by context. These findings can be used in planning and the implementation of educational interventions to improve healthy lifestyles.

The present research aimed to study the health literacy of cardiovascular patients and its relationship with awareness and self-efficacy. Methods: This research was a descriptive and cross-sectional study which was conducted on 138 cardiovascular patients visiting medical centers of Shahr-e Kord in 2016. The participants were selected using simple random sampling. To assess the health literacy of the participants, TOFHLA was used. The self-efficacy standard questionnaire was applied to measure the self-efficacy of participants. The obtained data were statistically analyzed using descriptive and analytical tests in SPSS-18. Participation in the present study was voluntary. Results: The mean age of participants was equal to 48.59±19.05. Based on the results, 64, 13 and 61 patients had an inadequate, marginal, and adequate level of health literacy, respectively. The mean score of awareness was 68.14±21.68 and the mean score of self-efficacy was obtained 37.90±32.65. There is a direct and significant relationship between awareness, self-efficacy, and health literacy (p=0.000), and awareness is a suitable predictor of health literacy. Conclusion: it is necessary to measure the health literacy and the relevant skills in patients before providing information to them in medical centers. Then, commensurate with their level of information, training programs should be planned to empower patients and increase their self-efficacy, so that they can achieve correct health information.
