Self-reporting data collection was performed applying three questionnaires of (1) personal and job characteristics, (2) the Self-Assessment of Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale (SANIC), and (3) the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses (CIRN). Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Chi-square, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and linear regression statistical tests. Results: Female nurses had higher CIRN scores than male ones (p = 0.027). The results of the Pearson's correlation coefficient showed a moderate significant positive association between SANIC and CIRN scores (r = 0.341, p = 0.001). Furthermore, results of the linear regression analysis showed that about 11% of the CIRN score was associated to the SANIC score (P = 0.001). After adjustment based on gender (p = 0.060) and education (p = 0.064), the correlation was not significant. Conclusion: Given the effect of gender and level of education, there was no significant association between Nursing Informatics Competencies and nurses’ competency. The level of application of informatics in nursing should be reviewed contextually.","PeriodicalId":140710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health and Epidemiology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126967159","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}

We aimed to examine the concurrent effect of lead and noise on rats' noise hearing function as a sub-acute exposure. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 40 male rats were divided into 4 groups as 1) control group 2) exposed to 105 dB noise at 4 kHz frequency 8h/day, 6day/week for 4 weeks 3) exposed to 4 mg/kg lead acetate by gavage 6day/week for 4 weeks 4) exposed to both lead and noise. Blood lead levels were evaluated by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. In addition, before and after exposure, the auditory brainstem response (ABR) was performed to examine the hearing loss in rats. Results: The hearing threshold at noise exposure (105 dB at 4 kHz frequency) group indicated a significant increase (10 dB and 11.5 dB with click and tone burst stimuli, respectively) compared to the control group (p<0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant difference between the lead concurrent noise-exposed group and the control group regarding the latency of waveform II with both stimuli (p<0.0001). There was a positive correlation between Blood Lead Level in lead-treated rats with Auditory Brainstem Response threshold by tone burst stimulus (r = 0739, p = 0.015). Conclusion: we concluded that lead and noise have a synergistic effect and can exacerbate hearing loss. However, additional studies at various doses are needed to confirm this finding.

Scince CRC is the fifth common cancer in this province, this study aimed to provide more detailed statistics on the survival rate of CRC patients. Materials and Methods: This survival analysis study used the national population-based cancer registry data to estimate the survival rate in 1705 patients with CRC from 2007 to 2016. The Kaplan–Meier estimator and Log-rank test were used to plot survival curves and assess differences in survival rates. Univariate analysis and Cox proportional-hazards model were also used to determine association between CRC-related factors and patient survival. Results: The 5-year survival rate for patients with CRC was 51.9%. This rate was significantly higher in the stage with localized lesions compared with those of regional and distant (p<0.001). The survival rate in patients undergoing surgical treatment was higher than that of patients receiving chemotherapy (p<0.001). Increased age, low tumor differentiation, the stage with distant tumors, and right-sided colon cancer (RCC) were associated with lower survival (p<0.001). Conclusions: The tumor stage was significantly correlated with the survival rate of patients. Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of CRC in Iran and worldwide, the survival rate of patients in this study was low. Since many factors affect this rate, further studies are needed to identify its prognostic factors in Kerman.","PeriodicalId":140710,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational Health and Epidemiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130203226","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}

It has been approved that wearing masks and hand washing prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate the association between wearing facemasks, hand washing, and COVID-19 contraction in the population of Tabriz, Iran. Materials & Methods: In this analytical study, necessary information was collected via four online multi-optional questionnaires on sociodemographic characteristics, the COVID-19 virus, mask-wearing behaviors, and hand hygiene habits among 360 individuals (120 cases and 240 controls). Based on data normality, quantitative variables were reported as mean ± standard deviation or the median (min-max). In addition, the relationship between qualitative variables was evaluated by the Fisher’s exact test, and correlations were assessed by the Spearman's test. Results: Elderly individuals and their care seekers had fewer potentials for exposure to COVID-19 (p = 0.010), but healthcare workers were at a higher risk of contracting the virus than other occupations (p = 0.002). In addition, smokers were at a lower risk of the disease than other healthy people (p = 0.009). Furthermore, the incidence of COVID-19 was significantly higher among individuals not wearing facemasks than others (p = 0.007). Conclusions: we concluded that wearing a facemask was more effective than hand washing and antiseptics in preventing the incidence of COVID-19 contraction;thus, people not wearing facemasks were at a higher risk of the viral infection. © The Author(s) 2022;All rights reserved.

In this study, direct and indirect (network scale-up [NSU]) methods were used to estimate the population size of students of the university of medical sciences with high-risk behaviors in Rafsanjan, Iran. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, using stratified random sampling, 440 students were selected and interviewed from the target group by a standard questionnaire, with three social network size estimation, NSU, and direct methods. The frequency approach of the NSU method was used to estimate the size of groups with high-risk behaviors. Correction coefficients were applied to adjust common errors in this method. Results: Using the maximum likelihood method, the means of social network size (C) for male and female students were 25.71 and 24.45, respectively. Using the NSU method, the prevalence rates of alcohol drinking, extra-marital sexual relationship, and opium use were 26.57%, 15.28%, and 9.69% among male students and 3.13%, 2.89%, and 1.3% among female students, respectively.
