Introduction: Women living with husband on hemodialysis face multiple challenges which impact their quality of lives and coping styles. This study was performed to investigate the relationship of coping strategies with quality of life in women living with husband
on hemodialysis.
Methods: This was a correlational study. The convenience sample consisted of 212 women living with husband on hemodialysis who had come to hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in 2016. Data were collected using the brief COPE and World
Health organization (WHO) quality of life. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and ANOVA by SPSS software (version 21) were conducted for data analysis.
Results: Psychological health of women was found the lowest among the other sub-scales of quality of life. Quality of life had a positive significant correlation with problem-oriented coping strategies (r = 0.71, P = 0.001) and a negative relationship with emotion focused
coping strategies (r = -0.53, P = 0.04). The results showed that religious (3.74 ± 0.57) and substance use (1.99 ± 0.7) as two coping strategies were the highest and lowest strategies used by women living with husband on hemodialysis. Conclusions: Coping strategies are influential in quality of life in women living with husband on hemodialysis. Psychology support programs are needed to help to frequent use of problem-focused coping and reduce emotion-focused coping strategies to improve overall quality of life.

Introduction: Using exercise with birth ball during labor leads to labor pain relief and
improvement in the labor process, and is a very important non-medication method, looking
into the chemical medications side-effects on mother and fetus, plus being affordable.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of using birth ball on maternal and neonatal
outcomes.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 100 primiparous women, 45-18 years old, were admitted
to Fatemiyeh hospital in 2015, and were randomly divided into two groups of 50 tests and
controls. The data collection instrument was questionnaire. In the duration of labor, the
need for oxytocin, Apgar score after the delivery, and birth weight were compared between
the two groups.
Results: The mean duration of labor was significantly lower in the intervention group
compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The need for oxytocin, Apgar score, birth
weight and mode of delivery were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusions: Performing exercise with birth ball during labor can decrease the active
phase of labor, with no harmful consequences on the Apgar score; so, it can be used as a
non-medication treatment to reduce labor pain and the duration of delivery.

Introduction: Nursing leadership style is effective in the successful and timely performance
of nursing care. Besides, nurses' procrastination will have high casualties and financial
costs. This study aimed to determine the relationship between staff procrastination and
nurse managers' leadership styles.
Methods: This was a descriptive correlational study conducted at social welfare hospitals
in 2013. The study population consisted of employees (n = 950) and managers (n = 70) of
nursing and midwifery departments. All the managers and 290 employees were randomly
selected by stratified method. Data were collected by demographic, organizational procrastination
and Bardenz-Metzkas leadership style (LBDQ) questionnaires, of which the
validity and reliability had been confirmed. Data were analyzed with correlation coefficient
at 0.05 significance level.
Results: Most of the managers had average task-oriented and people-oriented leadership
styles, but the focus of the executers on task-oriented leadership style was greater. The staff
had low procrastination (52.46 ± 12.99). People-oriented style of the managers had weak
inverse correlation with procrastination scale (r = -0.176) and inefficiency subscale (r =
-0.191) of the nursing staff; also, task-oriented leadership style had a weak inverse correlation
with subscale of abomination from task performance (r = -0.110) in staff, but the
relationships was not significant.
Conclusions: Lack of procrastination in nursing and midwifery staff is a positive phenomenon
that affects the performance of the organization. Due to the lack of relationship between
leadership style and procrastination, future researches in larger extent is proposed.

Introduction: Lack of effective control in postoperative pain can cause sleep disturbance,
decreased fluid intake and incidence of behavioral changes, such as restlessness, irritability
and reduced activity and play. Therefore, this study was performed with the aim of determining
the effectiveness of Around-The-Clock (ATC) analgesic administration on the
quality of sleep and behavioral changes in children after surgery.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 68 children, 6 to 12 years old, admitted for tonsillectomy
with one parent, were selected and randomly divided to control and case groups. For the
case group, an intervention was performed by the Around-The-Clock (ATC) analgesic administration
training after discharge. The data collection tool was a home dairy that was
completed by parents. Data were analyzed with SPSS 16 by repeated measures, post-hoc,
independent t and chi-square tests.
Results: According to the independent t test, there were significant differences between
children of case and control groups in average sleep quality scores on the first day after
discharge (P = 0.008). According to chi-square test, except for appetite (P = 0.00), no significant
differences were shown between children of the two groups in the other behavioral
changes.
Conclusions: Training of Around-The-Clock (ATC) analgesic administration in the first
three days after ambulatory surgery, such as tonsillectomy, could prevent inappropriate behavioral
changes in children and increase the quality of their sleep and appetite.

Introduction: Anthropometric measurements provide useful references for the care of
newborns. This would ultimately lead to identifying at risk newborns and help better management.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between second trimester
maternal hemoglobin values and neonatal anthropometric indices.
Methods: A prospective study was performed on 150 pregnant females at 24 to 28 weeks
of gestation, undergoing hemoglobin status test, in Tehran, during years 2013 to 2014. Hemoglobin
concentrations in second trimesters and all anthropometric indices of the newborns
(birth weight, length, and head circumference) were recorded. Data were analyzed
using descriptive statistics, linear regression analysis and One-way Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA). Data were analyzed with SPSS v21 and P < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: No correlation was found between neonatal indices and second trimester hemoglobin
concentrations. When the effect of independent factors on neonatal anthropometric
indices was investigated, it was determined that birth week, parity and history of low
birth weight were the factors of most influence (P < 0.05). The infants of females with
hemoglobin higher than 13.6 g/dl on the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy had lower anthropometric
indices, yet this was not significant.
Conclusions: According to our study, there was no significant relationship between mother's
hemoglobin concentration during the second trimester of pregnancy and neonatal anthropometric
indices.

Abstract
Introduction: In patients with renal insufficiency, it is necessary for the family to take supportive measures for the dialysis patient, both at home and in outpatient centers such as hospital dialysis wards. Caregivers of these patients often spend a lot of time caring for them and endure a lot of fatigue and care pressure. This study was performed to determine the amount of care pressure and its related factors in caregivers of hemodialysis patients referred to Razi Hospital in Rasht in 2013.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 154 hemodialysis patient caregivers referred to Razi Hospital in Rasht were selected by the gradual sampling method. Data were collected through interviews by completing two questionnaires "Zariat care pressure" and "Patient-caregiver individual-social factors" and using SPSS 22 statistical software and descriptive and inferential statistical tests (independent t-test). One-way analysis of variance, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient and rank logistic regression model were analyzed.
Results: 74.7% of the studied units have severe care pressure. Between the amount of care pressure with the caregiver's age (p = 0.005), duration of patient care (p = 0.009), caregiver's marriage (P = 0.001), caregiver's illness (P = 0.003), type of housing ( P = 0.048), living with the patient (P = 0.001), caring education (P = 0.001), income status (p = 0.008), patient ratio (p = 0.017), patient ability ( Statistically significant relationship was observed between p = 0.0001), patient care needs (p = 0.0001) and being a member of dialysis association (p = 0.003). A logistic regression model was used to determine the predictive effect of individual and social variables of patient and caregiver and the results showed that the variables of caregiver marriage, patient life, patient ability, and duration of patient care have a significant relationship with caregivers care pressure.
Conclusion: In this study, the findings showed that some individual-social factors such as caregiver marriage, patient life, patient ability, and duration of patient care have a significant relationship with caregivers' care pressure and are predictors of care pressure. It is recommended that caregivers who have these conditions pay more attention to the study of care pressure and measures needed to reduce stress.
