Introduction: The concept of health literacy is a cognitive and social skill that determines the motivation and ability of individuals to access, understand and use information in a way that maintains and promotes their health.The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between health literacy, resilience and mental health of Kermanshah public librarians.Methods: The research method was survey. The statistical population consists of Kermanshah public librarians. The questionnaires of Montazeri et al., Goldberg & Hillier and Connor & Davidson were used to collect data and measure the variables of health literacy, mental health and resilience, respectively. The validity of these questionnaires was confirmed using the opinions of five professors in the field of information science and the reliability of these questionnaires was calculated through Cronbach's alpha. In order to analyze the data and fit the model, frequency distribution tables and structural equation modeling in Warp Piels software were used.Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between health literacy and librarians 'mental health as well as between librarians' health literacy and resilience. Finally, it was found that resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between health literacy and mental health.Conclusion: Since librarians' mental health has a great impact on their services, so discovering and strengthening the factors affecting mental health can have a significant impact on improving the organizational performance of public libraries. Based on the findings, it seems that focusing on improving librarians' mental health by increasing health literacy and, consequently, their resilience to achieve more appropriate outcomes, is an important issue that has a mutually reinforcing effect.

Introduction: New applications of studies to draw the structure of science include clustering concepts and identifying new fields of studies. This study was co-word analysis of intellectual structure of knowledge in the field of throbbing headaches.Methods: This was a scientometric study conducted through co-word and social network analysis techniques. The data consisted of the total scientific production of throbbing headaches indexed in the Web of Science from the year 2005 to 2017 with 35050 records. After unifying, the co-wording matrix was provided and through cluster analysis method, the data were analyzed.Results: The most often word was migraine keyword in the field of throbbing headaches. Moreover, the results of hierarchical clustering by the Ward method led to the formation of nine clusters in this area. The major clusters were “intracranial hypotension”, “headache and treatment”, “nervous stimulation and headache”, and “traumatic injury”. The density and degree centrality of the cluster ranking from the analysis of the co-word indicated that the vertigo cluster had the highest concentration and anxiety cluster of the highest density.Conclusion: The co-word analysis can uncover the intellectual structure of scientific disciplines. Due to the frequency of obtained keywords and clusters, the results of the two-dimensional scale showed that the matic areas of “tolerability” and “nervous stimulation and headache” were the most important emerging fields.
