Aim: This study was performed with the aim of determining the anxiety and depression of patients with corona and related factors. Setting and Design: This study was conducted in general and special wards (coronary care unit) in Iran (Imam Khomeini and Bu Ali Sina in Sari and Razi hospitals in Ghaemshahr) in 2020. Materials and Methods: Patients were selected by accessible sampling. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression. Statistical Analysis Used: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 150 patients with Covid-19 admitted. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 21, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as t-test, Chi-square, Fisher, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression test. Results: The mean score of patients' anxiety was 6.83 ± 5.16, and the mean score of depression was 7.09 ± 4.37. According to the multiple linear regression test, depression with standard β (s =0.53) and with standard β (s =0.21) explore 42% of variance of anxiety. Anxiety (β =0.56), temperature (β =0.2), anorexia (β =0.18), and respiratory rate (β =0.12) explore 45% of variance of depression, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated a high prevalence of anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients with corona disease. Therefore, further study of related factors and planning appropriate interventions according to the results of the study is recommended.","PeriodicalId":42130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44649490","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}

There is a lack of awareness about the symptoms and signs of breast cancer as well as the screening practices. Aim: This study evaluates the level of knowledge of screening practices and risk factors in breast cancer among the female nursing staff in a teaching hospital. Setting and Design: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study design. Materials and Method: In this cross-sectional study that was performed in 2019, simple random sampling of 184 participants was done, and their responses of a validated questionnaire of breast cancer risk factor were scored. Statistical Analysis Used: Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. Results: The mean knowledge and awareness score of the nurses who participated in the study with a total score of 35 is 13.059 with a standard deviation of 4.673 (13.059 ± 4.673). Nearly 12.5% of the nurses (n = 23) had good knowledge, 54.3% of the nurses (n = 100) had an average knowledge, while 33.2% of the nurses (n = 61) had poor knowledge scores in the study conducted. Conclusions: Nurses had limited levels of knowledge about breast cancer and methods of early detection. The screening methods in breast cancer should be stressed during their training period at the institutional level with frequent updating of knowledge by conducting workshops and seminars.","PeriodicalId":42130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48548612","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}

Aims: The present study examined Iranian parents' views on the mastery motivation of their children compared with the children's views of their own mastery motivation. Setting and Design: This analytic cross-sectional and psychometric study was done in 2017-2018 in Iranian governmental regular schools in Sari, Babol (Mazandaran) and Tehran. 11 schools (5 Tehran, 3 Sari and 3 Babol) were selected based on cooperation and acceptance of the study. Materials and Methods: A convenience sampling of 114 families with schoolage children was invited to participate in the present study. Fathers (33.7%) or mothers (69.7%) and their 1115 yearold children (67% boys) filled the questionnaires; 42 parents and 33 children were asked to refill questionnaires after 2 weeks. Statistical Analysis Used: All data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, inferential internal consistency, and testretest reliability. Results: There was no difference between parent and child views on 3 out of 4 persistence subscales, but for all the emotional subscales plus general competence, children rated themselves higher than the parents rated them. The intraclass correlation coefficient of all domains and total score were significant (P 0.01).

Disagreements should be discussed with parents and students.

Aims: The aim of the current study was to compare the effect of aromatherapy with essential of Damask Rose and Citrus aurantium on the sleep quality of the elders. Setting and Design: This quasi-experimental study conducted in the day-care centers. Materials and Methods: Sixty elderly people were randomly selected and inhaled essential of Damask Rose 10% on the pillows concurrently, for three nights, before sleeping. After 1 month wash out, they were under aromatherapy with C. aurantium 10%, as the same method. At both periods, sleep quality were assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed by SPSS version 25 and using independent t-test, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Results: Although the total sleep quality score was improved at two periods of aromatherapy, it was significantly better at Damask Rose period, compared to C. aurantium (P < 0.001). Regarding to sleep domains, at both periods, aromatherapy had no effects on sleep disturbance. The score changes of subjective sleep quality (P = 0.001), sleep efficacy (P = 0.013), and daytime dysfunction (P = 0.033) were significantly better at the Damask Rose period, compared to C. aurantium. Conclusion: Both essential of Damask Rose and C. aurantium could improve the sleep quality, although the effect of Damask Rose on the total sleep quality score of elders was more than C. aurantium. Therefore, regarding to elders' preferences, one of these mentioned essentials could be used for improving sleep quality.","PeriodicalId":42130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing and Midwifery Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"9 - 14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809195","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}
