Abstract
Introduction:Social damages can threaten growth and health of children. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and behavioral problems of sexually abused labor children and compare that with orphaned children.
Method:This study was descriptive correlation. 80 damaged Children (40 sexual abused labor children and 40 orphaned children) were selected by convenience sampling under the auspices of the center for child well-being. Data were collected using Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist and Rescorla Teacher Report Form (TRF) (2001) and the PTSD Symptom Scale–Interview Version (Foa et al., 1993). The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient for showing the relationship between variables, and Fisher's z used for differences of correlation coefficient between two groups. Independent T-test used for comparing variables in two groups.
Result:The findings showed a positive relationship between all behavioral problems components in sexually abused group. Also, there was a positive relationship between PTSD and all of the components of behavioral problems except attention problems and social (p<0.05). Moreover, there was a difference between anxiety, withdrawal, social problems, rule-breaking, aggressive behavior, other problems and PTSD components including re-experiencing, avoidance, and increased arousal (p<0.05). The difference between attention problems, thinking and somatization was not significant. The mean score of all components of behavioral problems and PTSD except attention problems and somatization was higher in sexually abused children; however, the mean score of attention problems and somatization was higher in unsupervised children.
Conclusion: Both groups of children get behavioral problems in stressful events; but in comparison to orphaned children, sexually abused children have more severe behavioral problems. This can increase their readiness to have high-risk behaviors in next periods of growth. Therefore, it is recommended to design prevention programs that improve emotional and social abilities of children at risk.

Abstract
Introduction: Parents (especially mothers) undergo severe stress and experience psychological distress after the diagnosis of their child's cancer. there are individual differences among mothers in distress tolerance. The main purpose of this study was to determine the role of the mother’s distress tolerance on the internalization and externalization problems in children with cancer.
Methods: The study was a descriptive correlational study. 130 mothers who have a child with cancer and admitted to the Pediatric Cancer Hospital (Mahak) participated in this study. They completed two Distress Tolerance Scales (DTS) and Child Behavioral Inventory (CBCL) (a Parenting report version).
Results: Among the four dimensions of distress tolerance scale, emotion regulation had the most significant correlation with the internalization and externalization behavioral problems. This connection was more intense about internalizing problems. Simultaneously multiple regression analysis showed that the distress tolerance effected on child's physical complaints more than other factors; however, it could not predict law-breaking behavior in children at a significant level.
Conclusions: The level of the mother's distress through parenting style, learning of coping with stress and quality of interaction with the child can influence the internalizing and externalizing behavior problems in children.

Abstract
Introduction: In Modern technology, using mobile phones is the most exposed to waves in the world. As far, public concern has been rising regarding exposure to phone waves, especially in critical periods such as intrauterine life and early childhood. This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of literature have investigated the relationship between exposure to radiofrequency waves during pregnancy and early childhood with physical and behavioral problems in children.
Method: We searched databases (PubMed, Web of Science, ISI, Cochrane Library, and Scopus), along with Persian databases such as SID and Magiran with the keywords: "Prenatal Period", "Pregnancy", "Mobile phone", "Children", "Radiofrequencyexposure", "Cell phone'', ''electromagnetic field'', and ''Behavioral problems'' from 1st. January 2010 until 1st. March 2020. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, out of 55 articles, 15 were selected.
Results: The results of some studies have not demonstrated the occurrence of behavioral problems in children who were exposed to radiofrequency waves during pregnancy until 36 months. But between the ages of 7 and 11, emotional-behavioral problems were reported. In contrast to other studies, one study showed a positive effect of reducing sentence complexity and improving motor skills in three-year-old children of mothers exposed to cell phone waves. Although, the Findings of dose-response (low, medium, and high exposure) were Controversial. In this review, meta-analysis studies found a significant relationship between the effects of exposure and the incidence of leukemia in children. Also, The incidence of migraine and children's exposure to magnetic fields showed a significant association. However, there was a weak association in the case of hearing loss problems.
Conclusion: Although, the results indicated a significant relationship between physical and behavioral problems in children due to exposure to the waves. However, We emphasize the importance and necessity of further research to investigate the biological effect of waves during pregnancy, and childhood to recognize the factors affecting children's diseases.
