Since emotional intelligence is the most important factor for individual performance, it can reduce the negative effects of stress among nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of emotional intelligence in the quality of nursing care in nurses working in Covid-19 care units.\u0000Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 120 nursing personnel in Covid-19 care units working in Jahrom Hospital in 1400, who were selected through the census method. Data were collected by administering the Bar-on emotional intelligence scale, the quality of care nursing scale, and the demographic characteristics questionnaire. Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests and inferential statistics in the SPSS software (version 21).\u0000Results: The quality of nursing care was at an average level in (50%) of the nurses and at a good level in the other half (49.2%). The average score (315.91±37.09) showed a high level of emotional intelligence in nurses working in the Covid-19 care units. Additionally, the results of this study showed a significant direct relationship between emotional intelligence and the quality of nursing care (r=0.52, P<0.0001).\u0000Conclusion: Promotion and improvement of emotional intelligence can help to maintain the mental health of workers in controlling this disease and finally improve the quality of nursing care.","PeriodicalId":129048,"journal":{"name":"Avicenna Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Care","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127464280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most women, fear of childbirth is associated with increased pain, prolonged labor and unpleasant labor experience, and increased rate of elective cesarean section\u0000Materials and Methods: This interventional study was conducted on 90 pregnant women referred to health centers in Kordkuy, Iran. They were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention and control. The inclusion criteria entailed a wish for cesarean delivery or being doubtful about the mode of delivery, primigravida, singleton pregnancy, the age range of 18-35 years, reading and writing literacy, gestational age of 22-30 weeks at the beginning of the study, and a healthy fetus based on ultrasound examinations in the first trimester. The exclusion criteria were as follows: clear and identifiable obstacles to natural childbirth at the time of sampling, mental and neurological disorders, smoking, drug, and alcohol addiction, repeated abortions, and a history of infertility. The data collection tools included the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire (version A) and the demographic information form. The intervention in the experimental group was performed in five one-hour sessions, while the control group received routine pregnancy care. The data were analyzed in SPSS software using independent chi-square and independent t-tests.\u0000Results: Before the intervention, demographic variables, such as age, occupation, and education, were homogeneous between the intervention and control groups. At the end of the support group therapy sessions, the mean fear of childbirth score in the intervention group was 69.22, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (84.58) (P<0.001).\u0000Conclusion: Midwifery counseling in the form of supportive group therapy is effective in reducing the fear of childbirth. Considering that some pregnant women were compelled to undergo a cesarean section due to the opposition of their husbands, it is necessary to conduct studies on the effects of support group therapy on the fear of childbirth in groups consisting of pregnant women, as well as their spouses and families.","PeriodicalId":129048,"journal":{"name":"Avicenna Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Care","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134535861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, proper planning can make life enjoyable at an older age. Therefore, the current research aimed to compare the effect of music and rose water aromatherapy on the level of happiness among the elderly living in nursing homes.\u0000Materials and Methods: This research was a three-group randomized clinical trial of pre-test and post-test type with a control group. It was conducted on 93 elderly residents in nursing homes in Kermanshah who were selected via convenience sampling and randomly assigned to three groups. Before the intervention, the demographic information questionnaire and Oxford happiness questionnaire were completed. In the music group, an instrumental relaxing local Kurdish music was used for 12 45-50-min sessions three days a week for one month. For the rose water aromatherapy group, three drops of rose were poured on a cotton ball with a dropper and held at a distance of 25 cm from the nose of the elderly. The control group continued their daily activities without receiving any intervention. The data were analyzed using paired t-test and analysis of covariance.\u0000Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the happiness mean score in the three groups. The effect of the pre-test scores of happiness and its different dimensions on the post-test scores was significant (P>0.001). In addition, by controlling the effect of the pre-test, a significant difference was observed among the elderly in the three groups of aromatherapy, music therapy, and the control group.\u0000Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of this study, the two methods of music and rose water aromatherapy increase the happiness of the elderly. Nonetheless, music exerted a more significant effect on increasing the happiness of the elderly compared to aromatherapy. Therefore, it is suggested that music and aromatherapy be used as cost-effective non-pharmacological methods and complementary medicine in nursing homes and hospitals, along with other treatments, to promote happiness.","PeriodicalId":129048,"journal":{"name":"Avicenna Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Care","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127013114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
