Objective: To find out the prevalence of anxiety and depression among Iraqi repatriated prisoners of Iran-Iraq war
(IRPOWs), and the relationship with some variables.
Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out from Oct. 18th, 2009 through Jan. 10th, 2010. A Snowball
sampling as a non-probability sampling technique was used to recruit 92 repatriates who had visited Ministry of
Human Rights. An instrument was constructed for this purpose. The constructed instrument consisted of six
demographic characteristics, and fourteen items to measure the level of anxiety and depression in prisoners of
war (POWs). Data were collected with using the constructed instrument and the process of the interview as means
for data collection. Data were analyzed through the application of descriptive statistical analysis, which are;
percentages, frequencies and inferential statistic analysis (Pearson correlation coefficient).
Results: The study revealed that the majority of IRPOWs have some levels of; anxiety (62.0%) with the levels of:
mild (28.3%), moderate (25.0%), and severe (8.7%); and depression (63.0%) with the levels of: mild (27.2%),
moderate (29.3%), and severe (6.5%). The findings also indicated that there is no significant relationship between
anxiety and depression relative to; current age, age at capture, duration of captivity, marital status, and level of
education.
Recommendations: The study recommends that it is very important to establish special mental health services
centres within the primary health care centres deal with those repatriates for counselling and in order to diagnose
and treat them and further studies in this field with follow-up studies for the POWs

This will be in great demand since it will be useful for certain individuals who are unable to access some control units that need direct contact with humans. In the beginning, ten volunteers of a wide range of (20-66) participated in this study, and the statistical measurements were first calculated for all eight channels. Then the number of channels was reduced by half according to the activation of brain regions within the utilized protocol and the processing time also decreased. Consequently, four of the participants (three males and one female) were chosen to examine the Simulink model during di
