Music can help reduce pain and anxiety levels in patients by directing their attention from negative stimuli towards pleasant and encouraging thoughts. Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of classical Turkish music on pain and anxiety of patients undergoing BMAB. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized, controlled trial conducted on 68 patients undergoing BMAB who were selected from the hematology outpatient clinics in a hospital in İzmir, western Turkey. They were randomly divided into two groups of control (n=34) who received the general procedure only and the music group (n=34) who listened to classical Turkish music for 15 minutes before the procedure. Data were collected using a demographic form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and State Anxiety subscale of Spielberger’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Chi-square was used for comparing categorical variables, and t-test and ANOVA ​​were used for comparing numerical variables. Bonferroni test was used for post hoc comparisons. A P<0.05 statistically significant. In case of a significant difference between the groups, Cohen’s d effect size was calculated. Results: In the music group (Mean±SD age=63.73±14.81 years), 62% were male, 71% were married, 76% had a secondary education or lower, and 49.1% reported that biopsy was for diagnostic purposes. In the control group (Mean±SD age=51.76±19.45 years), 50% were female, 53% were married, 62% had a secondary education or lower, and 50.9% reported that biopsy was for diagnostic purposes. A statistically significant difference was found in the mean VAS scores of both groups before and after the treatment (P=0.001). A significant difference was found in the state anxiety level only in the music group before and after the treatment (P=0.003). Conclusion: Classical Turkish music prior to BMAB can reduce the pain and anxiety of patients. It is recommended for nurses to use music therapy to reduce the pain and anxiety of patients undergoing BMAB.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48936143","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}

Objective: This study aims to assess maternal beliefs and knowledge about GMP and examine its association with the child growth parameters. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 470 mother-child dyads who were recruited from public health centers of Ahvaz and Bushehr cities from August 2018 to February 2019 using a convenient sampling method. A questionnaire surveying anthropometric and socio-demographic characteristics as well as maternal knowledge and beliefs based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) was used to gather data. Child growth parameters were obtained from their medical records. Multinomial logistic regression was applied to determine the predictors of child growth parameters from among the HBM domains. Results: The mothers had a mean age of 29.56±5.10 years, and 92% had a planned pregnancy. Favorable growth percentage based on parameters of length-for-age, weight-for-age, weight-for-length and head circumference-for-age was 94.3%, 93.2%, 90.6%, and 93.1%, respectively.

It is a serious safety threat for hospitalized patients. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery as an open heart surgery has complications such as cardiac arrhythmias and delirium that can increase the risk of fall. Objective: This study aims to determine the risk of falls in patients after CABG surgery and investigate its associated factors. Matetials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 302 patients undergoing CABG surgery in a specialized hospital in Rasht City, Iran, from November 2019 to July 2020. They were selected by a sequential sampling method. The data collection instrument included demographic information, disease-related factors, surgery-related factors (before, during, after), and the Morse fall scale (MFS) checklist. The study data were collected after the patient's surgery and transfer from the intensive care unit to the surgical ward. Descriptive statistics, as well as the Kolmogorov Smirnov, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation, were used to analyze the collected data. A rank regression model was used to determine the factors related to the risk of falls in patients. Results: The mean ±SD age of participants was 59.35 ±8.37 years. About 70.53% of the patients were male, and 46.03% were overweight (Body Mass Index ranged 25-29.9 kg/m2). The majority of patients at the time of admission to the surgical ward and before surgery (92.72%) had no risk of falls. After surgery and transfer to the surgical ward, 82.12% had a low risk of falls. The mean risk of falling was higher in patients over 60 years (P <0.05). With decreasing hemoglobin values on the morning of surgery, the risk of postoperative fall increased (P = 0.046, r = -0.115). The sodium level on the morning of surgery had a significant negative correlation (P = 0.040, r = -0.118) with the risk of falling, but urea level on the morning of surgery had a significant positive correlation (P = 0.001, r = 0.212) with the risk of falling. Using regression model, the results showed that with increasing age (B = 0.23, 95%CI; 0.07-0.39, P = 0.003), history of high blood pressure (B= 3.5, 95%CI: -0.69-0.39, P = 0.003), decrease in hemoglobin (B = -5.47, 95%CI; -10.2- -0.6, P = 0.02), an increase in creatinine (B = 17.73, 95%CI; 8.17-27.29, P = 0.001) and urea (B = 6.09, 95%CI; 2.57-9.61, P = 0.001) before the surgery, the risk of fall after CABG surgery increases. Conclusion: Several factors can increase the risk of falls after CABG surgery. Considering that the risk of falls in patients undergoing CABG surgery in most medical centers is examined only at the beginning of admission, it is recommended to consider the possibility of postoperative falls based on the predicting variables.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46323436","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}

Objective: The study aimed to determine breast cancer screening behaviors based on the health beliefs model in women living in Mashhad City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 406 women referring to five health-medical centers in Mashhad from July 2018 to May 2019. They were selected by the multistage sampling method. The study data were collected with a questionnaire based on health belief model constructs consisting of two parts. The first part collects sociodemographic information. The second part is based on constructs of the health belief model (perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, perceived severity, cues to action, and self-efficacy). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (the Smirnov-Kolmogorov, the Pearson correlation, and the Spearman test). Results: The mean ±SD age of the participants was 33.5 ±10.3 years, and perceived severity and perceived susceptibility of breast cancer screening behaviors were low and very low in 36.4% and 8.1% of the women, respectively. Perceived barriers were high in 70% of women; cues to action and self-efficacy were low in 57.4% and 17.2%, respectively. There was a negative and significant relationship between perceived barriers and perceived benefits (P = 0.001, r = -0.160). Also, there were significant statistical relationships between preventive behavior with self-efficacy (P = 0.001, r = 0.896) and cues to action (P = 0.001, r = 0.269). However, the Pearson test showed a negative and significant relationship between age and self-efficacy (P =0.001, r = -0.231).

Objective: This study investigated the quality of life and some relevant factors in menopausal women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 45-60 years old menopausal women in 3 areas of Kashan city, Iran in 2018. By cluster sampling method, 236 participants were included in the study. The study questionnaires consist of demographic and obstetric information and menopausal quality of life (MENQOL). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, t test, the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests, as well as linear regression analysis, were used for data analysis. Results: The mean ±SD age of the women was 52.65 ±3.67 years. Also, their mean±SD years lapsed menopause was 2.89 ±1.53, and the mean ±SD for QOL was 31.24 ±11.47. There were no significant correlations between QOL and women's age, menopausal age, and elapsed years since menopause. Based on linear regression analysis, the variables of age (B= 2.61, 95%CI; 0.46-4.77, P=0.02), menopausal age (B= -2.19, 95%CI; -4.39 - -0.01, P=0.049), and satisfaction of spouse ((B= -4.90, 95%CI; -8.45- -0.35, P=0.007) remained in the model as relegated variables to quality of life (R2 = 11.8%). Conclusion: Since most women had moderate menopausal QOL score, intervention programs to improve the QOL for postmenopausal women is recommended in health centers. Further studies are suggested to evaluate the quality of life in chronic diseases of postmenopausal women.","PeriodicalId":36020,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Holistic Nursing and Midwifery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46879872","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}
