Background: Fear of childbirth in pregnant women is a common problem that often leads to the demand for cesarean section. Due to the complications of cesarean delivery for mother and baby, doing researches on factors predicting fear of childbirth is essential.
Method: This is a cross-sectional analytical study. 200 pregnant women were selected in Aleshtar city by simple random sampling in 2015. Data collection tools included two questionnaires. One researcher-made questionnaire, including structures of planned behavior theory including attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and behavioral intention; this was a standardized questionnaire for fear of childbirth. To analyze the data, software Spss20, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation and regression were performed.
Results: 71 of the 200 women (35.5 percent) were going to do a cesarean section. As a result, an inverse correlation was observed between attitude structures and perceived behavioral control with fear of childbirth. Attitude was the most important predictor of pregnant women’s fear (Beta=-0.29). In terms of fear, attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control between the women who wanted natural childbirth, and women who wanted a cesarean section, there were statistically significant differences.
Conclusion: It is suggested to emphasize on factors such as positive attitude and perceived behavioral control, at the time of designing educational interventions for reducing the childbirth fear and unnecessary caesarean.

Background: Blood pressure increases in women after menopause. There is evidences that support the existence of the increased reactive oxygen species levels in hypertension. The glutathione has an important role in cell defense against oxidative stress.The aim of this study was comprising of serum glutathione level between hypertensive and normotensive postmenopausal women.
Methods: This research was a case-control study. The samples were selected among patients who had the inclusion criteria. Samples were 39 postmenopausal women with high blood pressure as case group and the control group was chosen among 40 postmenopausal women with normal blood pressure. After filling in the testimonial and the checklist, blood samples were taken for test subjects. Then the glutathione blood levels were measured using the kit and ELISA. Data were analyzed by t- test, F-test and the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test at a significant level of 5 percent.
Results: There was a significant difference between mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (P= 0.029 & P= 0.047, respectively), serum glutathione level (P= 0.045), body mass index (P= 0.041), and weekly exercise less than 30 minutes (P= 0.049) in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure and normal blood pressure. However, no significant differences in age of onset of menopause, the number of children, employment status, and daily consumption of dairy products was observed between the two groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the serum glutathione levels in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure were lower than normal menopausal women.
