Abstract
Objective (s): This study aimed to perform a review of the literature to examine sexual behavior in Iran.
Methods: A review of Iranian literature covering all full publications in both Persian (2001- 2015) and English language (2010-2015) on sexual behavior was carried out. The search strategy included a combination of keywords ' 'Jensi'[Sexuality], Jema'[Coitus], Nazdiki[Coition], 'Mogharebat' and 'sexual attitude','sexual practice', "sexual performance','sexual function','sexual dysfunction',’sexual satisfaction', 'sexual behavior in English language. All papers were filtered by 'Hamkhabegi/Hambastari'[Intercourse], in Persian language and 'Sexual', Sexual knowledge', keywords in title, abstract and keywords. The databases we used to search the publication in Persian language were Iran Medex, Magiran and SID. Furthermore, in English language PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Science Direct and ProQuest were used. A total of 1182 abstracts were identified and after exclusion of 234 duplicates and irrelevant papers, 951 abstracts were reviewed by 2 investigators.
Results: All scientific documents were categorized in three bio-medical, psychological and sociological domains. According to the data pool, 481 articles were classified in bio-medical, 347 in psychological and 123 articles in sociological domain.
Conclusion: There was relatively acceptable evidence on bio-medical and psychological issues. However, providing enough evidence on sociological perspective need further well designed investigations.

Abstract
Objective(s): Although the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the short form of the Female Sexual Function Scale (FSFI-6) was studied, the sensitivity and specificity of the Persian version of this instrument have not been investigated. The present study aimed to assess the sensitivity, specificity and clinical cut-off point of the FSFI-6 in Iranian women.
Methods:This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 165 women with and 131 women without sexual dysfunction. In addition to a demographic questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-19) questionnaire was administered. Using the Receiver-Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) analysis and indicating cut-off point, sensitivity and specificity were determined
Results: Based on the short form of the original instrument, which included questions 4, 2, 7, 11, 16, and 17 from the longer version, the cut-off point for the FSFI-6 was 18.5 and the sensitivity and specificity were 61% and 52%, respectively. Considering that the calculated sensitivity and specificity of the index was relatively low and had a significant difference compared to the reported sensitivity and specificity for this instrument in the literature. Therefore, questions 5, 8, 12, and 18 were replaced with questions 4, 7, 11, and 17 and the analysis was repeated. Based on the replaced questions, the cut-off point was 20.5 and the sensitivity and specificity of the tool was 90%.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the Persian version of FSFI-6 with questions 2, 5, 8, 12, 16, and 18 has a better performance for diagnosing sexual dysfunction in Iranian women.

Abstract
Objective(s): Informatics in nursing and midwifery is developing and evolving worldwide. The present study aimed to systematically review the existing literature to identify the components of informatics competencies in the provision of electronic health services in nursing and midwifery.
Methods: Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched using the keywords telemedicine, e-health informatics, competence, and their equivalents, without time limits. The quality of the articles was checked independently by two researchers using ten criteria selected from the Strobe checklist. Analysis was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines.
Results: In all 668 articles retrieved. After removing duplicates, 187 articles remained, and after reviewing the full text of the articles, 13 studies were included in the final review and analysis. Articles were on providing nursing services and no studies were found for midwifery care. In total, "e-health literacy", "nurses' attitude towards the provision of e-health services" and "individual-social-occupational factors related to informatics competence" were among the components found in studies related to nursing.
Conclusion: The review indicated the need for basic knowledge, work on nurses' attitudes and research in nurses' informatics competence. Informatics competence and its related components in midwives and midwifery students were lacking in the literature, so it is recommended to investigate this among midwifery groups.
