The aim of this study was to determine the effect of teach back education on self-care behaviors and quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction in 2015 in Hamadan. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 70 Patients with myocardial infarction were selected with random available sampling and randomly divided to control and case groups. Three sessions, each for 45 minutes in 10 days, were performed for the case group. After one month and after the last training session, Mc New questionnaires were completed by both experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 16) by descriptive statistics, independent-t and paired-t tests. Results: In the case group, there was a significant difference between the mean scores of quality of life. However, the difference was not significant in the control group. There were significant differences between the mean scores of quality of life of case and control groups after the intervention. Conclusions: In the present study, teach back training method improved the quality of life in patients with myocardial infarction.

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).

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.

In this study, this relationship was investigated with the presented model. This study focused on the relationship between aggression and burnout by using regression analysis to determine the predictors of aggression. Methods: In this analytical study, using simple random sampling and with the help of Cochran, about 82 of the nurses of internal, surgery, emergency, psychiatric, ICU, and CCU section were selected at social security hospital in zahedan, as the minimum required sample. The study was conducted during January 2016, and a questionnaire was completed by all candidates. The study tool was a standard questionnaire in three parts, including demographic, Maslach burnout dimensions (1997), and of Buss and Perry (1992), and evaluated the reliability and validity, and distributed among the sample.

Results: According to the path factors, the significance was determined at P value=0.01 for burnout and its dimensions, including anger (sig=0.001, Reg=-0.599), aggression (sig=0.001, Reg=0.433) and hostility (sig=0.001, Reg=0.364).

Nurse managers could effectively be involved in conflict management at these therapeutic and educational centers. This study aimed at assessing nurse managers' conflict management strategies at Hamadan therapeutic and educational centers. Methods: A correlation descriptive study was conducted by Putnam and Wilson's conflict management questionnaire on 400 nurse managers of Hamadan therapeutic and educational centers. Data were analyzed by SPSS (Version 16) via Pierson correlation coefficient, t test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: Overall, 52.2% of nurse managers used problem solving (collaboration and accommodation), 37.8% used none-confrontational strategies (avoidance and compromising) and 3% employed control (competing) styles for conflict management at Hamadan therapeutic and educational centers. There was a significant correlation between their conflict management strategies and age, marital status, work experience, managerial work experience, and employment status (P < 0.05).
