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.

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. behavioral changes sleep child surgery 2017 4 01 69 75 http://nmj.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-1570-en.pdf 10.21859/nmj-25019

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.

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.   Caregiver burden caregiver hemodialysis 2017 4 01 83 95 http://nmj.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-2383-en.pdf 10.21859/nmj-25020
