abstract ={Background and aim: Due to the fact that all members of the society have the right to health, the convicts, whose human nature entitles them to have human rights, also have certain rights regardless of the crime they have committed. Therefore, the present study was conducted to examine the role of Islamic teachings in guaranteeing the convicts’ right to health as a manifestation of the health-oriented criminal policy in Iran. Materials and methods: This research is of theoretical type and is based on library resources and evidence-based resources of Magiran, PubMed, Noor Mags and Google Scholar, which was performed through extensive literature review, analysis, scientific studies and a guide to understanding the nature. Findings: According to the findings of the research, Iran's criminal justice system, while being effective in respecting the inherent dignity of human beings, has respected the health of convicts as a human right in line with the course of human evolution and excellence. Therefore, cases such as punishment in hot and cold conditions, punishment of sick convicts and pregnant women, the impossibility of treatment and hopelessness of the recovery of the sick convict, and observance of the health of the convicts has been thoroughly considered in Iran's criminal justice system. Conclusion: Long before the ratification of international human rights documents, including the convicts’ right to health, this has been considered in the teachings of Islam as a manifestation of health-oriented criminal policy. Therefore, the health-oriented criminal policy in Iran's legal system is also influenced by the teachings of Islam to ensure that convicts benefit from right to health in formal and substantive laws.},

title = {A review of infectious diseases transmitted in pilgrimage gatherings}, 
abstract ={Background and aim: Pilgrimage gatherings, such as Arbaeen's foot-pilgrimage to visit the holy shrine of Imam Hussain, is one of the most recommended religious practices. Every year a large number of Shiites and those who miss him, both young and old, men and women, walk towards Karbala. They travel to visit the Holy Shrine on the day of Arbaeen. This pilgrimage, which involves a long and difficult journey, carries significant health risks due to factors such as high temperature, long distance and uncertainty about the safety of food and water. Materials and methods: The present review article was conducted to summarize the existing knowledge about infectious diseases associated with pilgrimage gatherings. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases using relevant keywords. Original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and authoritative guidelines in English and Persian up to July 2024 were included in the study. Two researchers independently screened and evaluated the articles, and disagreements were resolved with the consultation of a third researcher. Findings: Notable infections discussed in this article include hepatitis A and E, food poisoning, traveler's diarrhea, cholera, influenza, and COVID-19. In this article, the importance of preventive measures such as hygiene, vaccination and health education to reduce the risk of infection is emphasized. By increasing health literacy among pilgrims and implementing appropriate health protocols, this holy journey will be safer and its spiritual benefits for the pilgrims will be increased. Conclusion: This article promotes a safer pilgrimage experience, and also emphasizes the need for more research and the development of health strategies suited to the unique conditions of pilgrimage gatherings.},

abstract ={Background and aim: The main purpose of this research is to express the interaction between ear and eye and the spiritual health of the heart of the individual and society. The research is novel from this point of view. Materials and methods: Investigating the relationship between the contents of the ears and eyes with the spiritual health of the individual and society in the statements of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha and its explanations such as Sobhi Saleh and Shushtri and other narrations attributed to the Imam such as Bihar al-Anwar by Allameh Majlisi constitute the methods of conducting this research. Findings: The results of the study showed that in these sources, ear is not just the ability to hear and eye is not just the ability to see; rather, it means the function of ears and eyes in relation to the spiritual health of the individual and society and it reveals the significant relationship between the ears and eyes and the spiritual health and illness of the individual and society and the interaction between them. Conclusion: From the perspective of Imam Ali, the truth of existence of each individual and consequently the society depends on its improvement through ears and eyes, and all this depends on factors such as: remembering death, preaching, listening to beneficial science, and on the other hand, mastering the ego and avoiding literalism. The ear, eye and heart of the individual and the society are in mutual interaction and in general, these audio and visual inputs reveal the secrets in the heart of the individual and the society.},

title = {Predicting happiness and life expectancy based on spiritual health in medical students of Babol University of Medical Sciences}, 
abstract ={Background and aim: Spiritual health is a set of abilities and capacities and spiritual resources that increase their adaptability and as a result, mental health of individuals. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and happiness and life expectancy. Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 180 medical students of Babol University of Medical Sciences from 2019 to 2020. Three questionnaires were used in this study: the 20-item Spiritual Well-Being Scale by Paloutzian and Ellison, the 29-item Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and the 12-item Schneider's Life Expectancy Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22. Findings: According to the results of this study, 68.3% of students had moderate spiritual health, 68.9% had moderate happiness, and 60.0% had a moderate life expectancy. In examining the correlation using the Spearman's correlation coefficient, it was determined that there is a significant positive relationship between spiritual health and happiness (r=0.36 and P<0.001). Moreover, a significant positive relationship has been seen between students' spiritual health and life expectancy, which shows that with increasing spiritual health, life expectancy in students increases (r=0.32 and P<0.001). There is also a significant positive relationship between happiness and life expectancy. (R=0.15 and P=0.03). Conclusion: Spiritual health is an effective factor in the life expectancy and happiness of medical students. It is suggested that officials strive to promote the growth and prosperity of happiness and life expectancy in medical students.},

title = {The effect of spiritual interventions on suicide in Iran: A systematic review}, 
abstract ={Background and aim: Suicide is a significant mental health crisis that is increasing globally, especially in Iran. This complex phenomenon is influenced by various psychological, social, and economic factors. In this regard, spirituality is recognized as a protective and supportive factor against suicidal behaviors. Several studies suggest that increasing spiritual levels may be associated with a reduction in suicidal thoughts and behaviors. This study aims to examine the effect of spiritual interventions in reducing suicide risk and improving mental health in people at risk for suicide by analyzing published articles on this topic. Materials and methods: This research is a systematic review conducted using the PRISMA method and search in reputable databases like Google Scholar, ISC, and PubMed. The search terms included "spirituality" and "suicide." After removing duplicate and irrelevant articles, the final articles were selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were articles addressing spiritual interventions in the Iranian community published from 2011 to 2024. Findings: Spiritual interventions can serve as effective tools in reducing suicide risk. These interventions include religious practices such as prayer, meditation, spiritual counseling, and social support from religious communities. Studies show that spirituality can reduce feelings of hopelessness and enhance a sense of purpose. Additionally, social support from religious communities has a positive impact on reducing suicide risk. Conclusion: Spiritual interventions, particularly in religious contexts, can be effective tools for suicide prevention and improving the mental health of individuals at risk. Further research in this area is essential.},

title = {The role of Muslim doctors in the development of medicine in the framework of Islamic law}, 
abstract ={Background and aim: Medicine is one of the main aspects of science in the golden era of Islamic civilization, which has taken a special form using Islamic verses and traditions. Today, the world owes to the efforts of Muslim doctors. The activities of Muslim doctors throughout history have been influential in various aspects of medical science. Since the time of Prophet Muhammad and then during the period of Islamic caliphates and the intersection of Islamic civilization with the empires of that time such as Sassanids, Seljuks and Ottomans, medical science flourished in the heart of Islam. The purpose of this article is to explain the role of Muslim doctors in the development of medicine in the framework of Islamic law. In this regard, the historical course of the activities of Muslim doctors in different periods has been described. Materials and methods: In this article, a theoretical method with a descriptive analytical approach and using library resources, including articles and books, has been used. Findings: In Islam, law and health are closely related to each other, and maintaining and promoting health is one of the main goals of Islamic law. Paying attention to individual and community health and providing health and treatment services in a fair manner is emphasized in Islam. Conclusion: The process of medical development in Islam without paying attention to the matters stated in the Qur'an and Sunnah regarding health and medical science will be futile. In order to develop medicine in the framework of Islamic law, we should pay special attention to verses and traditions in the field of medicine.},

abstract ={Background and aim: Professional dress code can influence patients’ social perceptions and interpersonal professional interactions. This paper aims to determine the role of perceptual determinants in the professional appearance of healthcare providers on professional interactions with patients. Materials and methods: The present study was conducted as a critical review by searching libraries and databases using the keywords dress code, hijab, professional attire, and professional interaction and professionalism, taking into account the inclusion criteria. Finally, 18 relevant articles were reviewed. Findings: The results are presented in two general sections: the impact of dress code, tattoos, and piercings on professional interactions, and the Islamic and Quranic perspective and approaches regarding professional attire. Tattoos, piercings, and unconventional attire of healthcare providers negatively affect professional interactions with patients. In most Islamic and non-Islamic countries, patients have more trust in healthcare providers with simple white coats, including long coats for women and white coats for men, and they usually prefer individuals without tattoos and piercings to be responsible for their care. Conclusion: Considering the importance of professional attire in Islam and the Quran and its role in shaping patients’ trust and professional relationships, it is recommended that healthcare centers have special supervision over the attire of healthcare providers.},

title = {The role of spirituality and prayer in maintaining and improving the mental health of military forces}, 
abstract ={Background and aim: The successful performance of armed forces of countries is not only due to advanced technology and equipment. More than anything, it depends on their physical, mental and psychological health. A military job is one of the jobs that is difficult due to the type of tasks and missions, strict rules, the possibility of injury and disability, fear of defeat, being away from family, living in harsh conditions, captivity and even death, all of which may affect their mental health. Considering the importance of this topic, the role of spirituality and prayer in maintaining and improving the mental health of military forces has been discussed in the present study. Materials and methods: This review article was conducted by searching several online databases or search engines, including PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and SID until the end of 2023; 136 relevant articles were eventually selected. Findings: Spirituality can bring about a sense of hope, purpose, peace, and improved organizational performance. In prayer, remembering God increases self-confidence, calms the nerves, and reduces stress and anxiety, even in very difficult military situations. Wudu (ablution), the use of perfume, strengthening the spirit of gratitude, improving physical health, increasing vitality and resilience, and eliminating the sense of inferiority of individuals with lower military ranks in front of superiors by attending congregational prayers are among the important functions of prayer in maintaining and promoting the mental health of military forces. Conclusion: Deepening spirituality and seeking help from prayer is one of the most important ways to maintain and improve the mental health of military forces. Therefore, it is essential for planners and officials to pay more attention and plan to carry out appropriate interventions to improve knowledge and attitudes and explain the psychological effects and functions of spirituality, and especially prayer, on mental health.},
