Strengths and limitations
FORDYCE
The presentation of the intervention using the group formed in the social network is one of the strengths of this study. Moreover, the intervention was implemented by a nurse in collaboration with a psychologist. We showed that with an intervention based on the Fordyce program and using a feasible and convenient method, a nurse was able to create a positive impact on the participants. These results showed the important role of nurses in improving happiness and quitting water pipe in women at the community level. Therefore, the positive effects of the intervention are promising for more participation of nurses in community health promotion services, particularly in the area of women’s health. Moreover, similar interventions that have been used in the field of emotion management [A limitation of this study was the possibility of information dissemination between the two groups. To prevent this problem, only one person from each family was included in the study to reduce the possibility of sharing educational materials between members of the intervention and control groups. Furthermore, it is worth noting that participants entered the study gradually and thus did not know the other participants. After random assignment, the people in the intervention group joined a virtual social group, but they and the people in the control group did not know each other.The other limitation of the study was the short follow-up duration for the effectiveness of interventions. It seems that interventions with long-term follow-up can better show the effects of such an intervention.
